Later this month we’ll be heading to the top of the world - well, the top of Grouse Mountain anyway - to celebrate the marriage of Alexa & Gary! I can’t wait to join them for a mountain top view of Vancouver as they tie the knot.
We headed out to Stanley Park for their engagement photos. Here are a couple of our favs!
Tara and Eddie tied the knot on Sunday at the Celebration Pavilion in Queen E Park. After, we headed to the beach at Stanley Park for some pictures before arriving at the Heritage Hall for the reception. A quick walk around the block and into the alleys with the newlyweds completed our photo session that day! We had such a great time with them and their bridal party, and the reception was full of touching speeches, lots of laughter and dancing, and the warmth of so many friends and family. What a way to celebrate Canada Day!

One Wall, 3 Portraits
And finally, the first dance
Congrats again to you both!
On Saturday Jose & Kristin tied the knot above the city in the garden terrace of the Coast Plaza Hotel in downtown Vancouver. The sun beat down and the bubbles flew, and after they enjoyed champagne with their guests we headed out to play in the sun in the hidden nooks and crannies of Stanley Park.
Congratulations, Jose & Kristin, we hope you have an amazing time in Columbia and we’ll see you when you get back!
I love this shot - Kristin getting into her dress
And here she is again, looking down on the ceremony site just minutes before she walked down the aisle
And our groom, Jose, as proof that pink is not just for the girls

And finally, another shot as we played in the afternoon sun!
On Saturday we photographed the 14 hour marathon wedding of Roger and Janette! We started first thing in the morning for the getting ready and spent the day with them as they got married, enjoyed two tea ceremonies, headed out for photos with us, and finally as they danced the night away at their reception!
Have a fabulous cruise, guys, and have a glass of wine for us as you’re sailing through the Mediterranean next week!

The Guys
One of many gorgeous reception details
Leo & Jeff made the treck up to Vancouver from their home in San Francisco with two of their closest friends to tie the knot last month. Everything was simply perfect from the view they had for their intimate ceremony to the bubbly and appies on the lawn at the Sequoia where they toasted their commitment to eachother.
We’ve been doing so many engagement sessions recently that I need to share. Our engagement sessions are such a fantastic way to get to know our couples and for them to feel more comfortable with being in the spotlight behind our cameras.
Joni & Jason live what probably seems like a world apart but you can see the love they have for eachother in their eyes when they get to spend time together, like they did earlier this month when Jason came up to visit. They are getting married in May.
Roger & Janette are also planning their wedding for next May. The first shot was taken in their church as we did a quick session there before heading out to Yaletown for a few more urban shots.
Alexandra & Rob are planning their July wedding and we visited Stanley Park as it was one of the places that Rob took Alexandra before she made the move to Vancouver, and it was there that he first asked if she wanted to move to be here with him.
Peter & Stacey will be married in just a couple of weeks at the beginning of October. Similar to Rob & Alexandra, Stanley Park has special meaning for these two as it is somewhere they went when they first dated. We were blessed with gloriously blue skies that day, which make for amazing images!
Monique & Bradley’s wedding had so much COLOUR! The day was gorgeous and combined with the bright colours in the bridesmaid’s dresses and flowers the images we captured that day really are fantastic.
Congrats again! More to share from their wedding once they are all ready.
Erika & Vermont are to be married in August. These two are just so obviously in love and have such a simple, classic look - I can’t wait to see how they look on the wedding day!
We’ll look forward to sharing those images as soon as they’re available!
Following on the note of their wedding photographs, here are a few of the engagement images we took of Lyndsay & Mike a few weeks ago in anticipation of their wedding this past weekend. We spent our time down on the beach at Stanley Park and got a number of amazing images. Here are a couple of my favourite!
Man, these guys were an absolute riot! We did Steve & Michael’s engagement shots recently and I am SO looking forward to their wedding. As car buffs we wanted to include their cars in the shots so it was fun to bomb around town with the tops down to find just the right places to stop for pics!
