Holy Trinity Church

Holy Trinity Anglican Church is seated on the Saanich Inlet of Vancouver Island. This quaint old church is full of local history and overlooks the Patricia Bay and Salish Sea. It was consecrated in 1885 and is the oldest church in North Saanich, and is thought to be one of the oldest churches in BC. It is a pioneer church that is still active and is often used for weddings, christenings and funerals. The wood material used in the construction of the church was rafted down from Genoa Bay in 1884. Most of the construction work was done by local volunteers.

The day for this shoot was fog enshrouded making for a perfect backdrop for such a wonderful subject. The majority of this shoot was done in black-and-white to capture the full drama and ambiance of the historic church and its surrounding cemetery.
