Next weekend – November 20th – is Bridal Swap by the fabulous ladies at Dreamgroup! For all those brides-to-be it’s the perfect place to find pieces for your wedding, and for past brides it’s a great opportunity to make a little cash by parting with wedding items you no longer need. The swap is taking place on Sunday, November 20th at Villa Amato, and you want to be there right when the doors open to buy at 10:30 (for advance ticket holders). Tables are also still available if you’ve got goodies to sell.

When couples choose to do both the ceremony and reception at the same venue I always like to stay close for photos so they can get back to their waiting guests as soon as possible. With the new landscaping and updates around the UBC Boathouse it made for a great place to walk around before heading back for the party!

The rain let up as if on queue to allow us outside for some beautiful portraits. I really adore these two and their images, so much so that I’m cheating on my own rule of 5 and am sharing 6 photos instead. Enjoy!

Beautiful sunshine for the outdoor ceremony at the Pan Pacific made for a stunning backdrop to Bonnie & Ken’s Wedding. I love the whole area around the new convention centre as it’s such a great backdrop for photos that can feature the city or the water and north shore mountains – a picture perfect Vancouver setting for sure! Thanks as well to Dreamgroup for helping to pull the day together.

Here are my favourite 5!

St. Patricks Catholic Church and Kirin Restaurant played host to the ceremony and reception for Vivian & Gord’s wedding. I loved sneaking a time out with the two of them in their hotel room for a few extra portraits before heading to their traditional Chinese dinner at Kirin – not only are these shots beautiful but I know it’s nice to have a few minutes of quiet before the craziness of the reception!

Following their dinner, Viv and Gord said goodbye formally to their guests and then walked across the street to join their official after party at the Shangri La for a late evening of dancing and cocktails. Love it!
