Deux Québécois, Nathalie et Sylvain se marient religieusement à Vaitape

A couple from Quebec recently got married at the Paroisse Saint Pierre-Célestin of Vaitape in Bora Bora.  It was an honor and privilege for me as a photographer to be the witness and capture memories for them!  While a photograph many traditional Tahitian ceremonies as well as legal marriages at Town Hall, the prospect of this Christian ceremony is really something I was inspired in doing.  The local newspaper "La Depeche" actually covered the story as it was an atypical story of their travel adventure with their 11 months old daughter which including cycling & camping through Australia!

It was most touching to see the welcome they received from the local community!

Here are a few photos as well as the article (in French).

Companie in Tupai

While I mostly publish photos of all the wonderful clients I cross paths with, I wanted to share with you a photos of a day at "work".
I am very fortunate to be flying to Tupai a few times a month which is a short 10-15 mins flight from Bora Bora (a must do experience). The Atoll of Tupai is simply breathtaking, romantic due to its obvious heart shape when viewed from the air.
Next to the pilot is my wonderful assistant enjoying the flight, Tupai is visible through the front window.
Asides from a few people working on the Atoll, it is pretty much deserted but this last time we had a few curious spectators. About ½ a dozen Wandering Tattler came in very close, one was observing us while perched on the rotor! They are actually quite large and impressive birds, indeed very curious as one of them came within inches of my lens. I am guessing he was drawn in, curious about the reflection?
I am not a bird watcher, feel free to correct me if I am wrong on the specie of the birds!
