There is little that I love more than bright, bold colour - and Dee & Chris’ wedding at Mayfair Lakes had plenty to spare. From the outfits to the blue sky to the super fun car details of the reception - the day was full of colour!

The photo session took a cool twist with an abandoned building nearby that made for some great images. Love it!

Hasna Mehndi, Pamper Me Pretty and Surdel Party Rentals were just a few of the vendors who came together, topped off by the cake maker - the Bride! Yup, Dee made her own (totally fantastic) cake! Tracey joined the team once again to second shoot.

I’m definitely looking forward to designing the album for this one! Chat soon, guys!

Cinnamon & Galib were married last weekend! We joined them for 2 of the many days of festivities, capturing both the ceremony and lunch reception on Saturday and the let-down-and-party soiree at the Fairmont Airport on Sunday.

With essentially 2 weddings worth of images, where do I even start?!

Shoes - of course, with the shoes!

Cinnamon - that Grace Kelly look you were after? Couldn’t have pulled it off better. You were GORGEOUS!

Have a fantastic honeymoon, and congrats again! See you when you get back!!

What can I say about these two?!

If I had to describe Michelle it would be Classic Elegance - she was simply radiant on her wedding day this past weekend. Charles was awestruck when he first laid eyes on her, and I caught him staring at her many times throughout the day. And, really, no wonder - look at her!

Their love for eachother was so obvious, and they complement eachother’s personalities so very well. Congratulations to you both! You are a perfect match

Agnes & Frankie were married on Saturday! They travelled to Vancouver from their home in Calgary for a whirlwind day of traditions, tea ceremonies, cruising back alleys with us, and amazing friends and family!

On the topic of tradition, here’s just one of many shots highlighting just how dedicated to getting to the bride these guys were. This is just a few of them belting out a love song at the top of their lungs at the early hour of 8:30 am!

Last Sunday we hopped an early ferry over to the island for Terry & Preeti’s Hatley Castle wedding at Royal Roads University.

There is so much to say and yet words don’t seem to do it, so I’ll let the images do the talking. Needless to say, it was an AMAZING location to work in and we were so glad to be there with such a fantastic couple!

Joni and Jason got married on Saturday after a 9 year long distance relationship! *Finally* they tied the knot and are looking forward to their new life - together! - in their LA home.

Joni did an AMAZING job on all of the details, I couldn’t pick just one or two to share!

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!

Neil & Anusha were married earlier this month with parties and celebrations spanning over a few days. These images are from the Saturday Hindu ceremony. In addition to these, we also were honoured to attend the reception the following day and to do a session with just the two of them the day after that when we could steal away for some specific images outside of the hustle of the wedding itself.

One word: Stunning.

That’s how best to describe Salima over the course of her 4 day wedding to Hafiz earlier this month. She was simply radiant in each of her many delicious outfits.

This wedding was an absolute treat for us. After having photographed a few weddings and engagement dinners within the family and their (very large!) circle of friends over the past year and a half, the wedding was as much a reunion for us as for all of the friends and family there to celebrate with them. It’s so cool to see small kids grow up, to get to see previous clients and their families, and to be so welcomed into the festivities as we were here with them. So, right off the bat, a great big THANK YOU to Hafiz & Salima and their families for welcoming us in with such open arms!

There are so many images and we’re still very much in the middle of sorting them, but we wanted to share just a few to showcase some of the colour and just what we mean when we say STUNNING. Enjoy!

Neil & Anusha are getting married on the September long weekend in what is bound to be an amazing 2 day affair. We recently did their engagement session in Gastown and Stanley Park and captured a number of images that show just how much fun these guys have together!

Wedding images to come in September!
