Banff has become a huge Honeymoon destination, especially in Hong Kong. The best photos in the world are to be taken here. Okay. I might be a bit bias. HA!
Do you know BPer Courtenay Vanderbilt? She and her hubby were just here last month. We went shooting with them for a day. WOW! She even gets up at the crack of dawn to take her photos and she is just starting to post some of them. I hope you will go take a peak!
Also Ron McEwan has dozens of images he has posted while he and his wife were here in July 2009.
LUCKY ME getting to meet all of the BPers as they come through! :)
