Weddings are always extra special for us when we know the people getting married, and in this case it was our friend Nelson who was tying the knot!

The wedding just days before Christmas turned into a much more winter themed event than ever thought possible for Vancouver with the blizzards rolling in the night before. With 4 wheel drive engaged and even a backup photographer figured out and on call in the chance we got stuck or snarled up in a fender bender on the way (all very likely given the crazy weather and the trip to south Richmond for the getting ready!), we were off.

Walking in to Jana’s home my eyes definitely lit up when I saw what she was wearing – no white winter number for her. Instead, Jana rocked the sassiest little hot pink dress compliments of Betsey Johnson that I’ve ever seen!

The day was a beautifully intimate affair with close friends and family safely tucked inside the warmth of Seasons restaurant while the snow blew outside. We captured just a few images with the snow for posterity, and stuck to the fireplace for warmth after that.

We recently headed out for an after session to rock all after sessions with these two so more will definitely be coming of that, but for now, here are a few of our absolute favorite wedding day shots!

And now – that is *officially* a wrap for our 2008 weddings. We can’t wait to start posting our 2009 events!
