Pat and John were married at the beginning of the month at Hycroft Manor (The University Women’s Club). Hycroft is probably my most favourite wedding location here in Vancouver… the architecture is stunning, and I love that there are so many rooms and places both indoors and out for guests to mingle in and wander through. Love it!

Highlights of the day started with the gorgeous red gown and extended right to the individual cakes for each table of guests. I decided to pull together a bunch of photos to give just a taste of the day through our eyes!

Congrats again to you both!

This past weekend had us escaping the cold and unseasonal snow of Vancouver and heading to Tofino - which, by some miraculous hand, was gorgeous and sunny - for Jen & Neil’s wedding.

I hardly know where to start. Everything was perfect - from the amazing outfits (two hot numbers each), to the weather, to the grand fireworks finale at the end of the night. Looking back, I can’t think of a single thing that could have been any better.

There are so many images… but I have to choose just a few! Here are just a handful of all the great shots jumping out at me so far!

First up - the shoes. They most definitely deserve to make the blog cut. Jen agonized over her decision between a certain pair of Manolos and this pair of Louboutins. The Louboutins won.

Jen and her Dad walking up the aisle. I adore this photo, especially the look on her face!

The ceremony was held indoors, with a sweeping view of the beach right behind them.

Together

My favourite reception detail - the cheese cake. Yes, it’s a cake. Or rather, cheese setup in the shape of a cake. Either way, it was delicious, and the symbolism behind them cutting the cheese entertains me to no end!

We headed back outside after dinner for a few sunset photos. Here is Jen, looking amazing in the evening sun.

One of the surprises of the night was the quick outfit change that had these two looking like they’d walked straight out of Hollywood. Wow.

And finally, the guests were treated again at the end of the night with an amazing beach fireworks show. The perfect end to the perfect day.

CONGRATS again, to both of you! It was such a joy to be there. I’m sure you are having a fantastic time in Morocco. We’ll see you when you get back!

What a way to end the year!

Marten & Michelle’s Hotel Vancouver New Year’s Eve wedding was the perfect end to a fantastic year. Way to pull it off!

These two are jetsetting their way off to their new home in Dubai, so it was in many ways as much of a wedding as it was a going away party. Clearly, they won’t be forgotten!

We are always honoured when fellow photographers hire us to photograph them, and this was no exception. We were sure to capture the evidence that Marten really can’t let go of the camera though - we’ve got shots of him shooting Michelle as well as his camera in a prime, head table position

Here are some of my favs

Married!

The Bridal Party - all 17 of them!

One of my favourite parts about winter is that it’s dark by 4:30, meaning lots of great night shots! Here are 3 from our quick session under the bridge. As they are moving away, we wanted to get photos of the Vancouver skyline.

I’m sure you’re enjoying your honeymoon cruise and all of the excitment to come with the upcoming move.

Take care, guys, we’ll chat soon! Congrats again!

Who needs time to plan a wedding when you can just whip something together in just a few months?

Guys - you pulled it off seamlessly!

I ADORED the personal touches with the handmade felt boutonnieres and the 1000 paper cranes which extended to the ring bearer “pillow” and the flower girl baskets. Everything was just so uniquely you.

Here are a few of my favourite highlights!

Yan & Darian had probably the most unique wedding date of the year - Christmas Eve!

They gathered with their friends and family at the Fairmont Waterfront for an evening of elegance and warmth among those close to them. Everything was gorgeous and Yan looked amazing

These two are off on a bit of a European tour for their honeymoon, but the plan is to get together for even more images in their after session - so keep your eyes opened for more of this pair!

Married!

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.

Cheryl & Walt had the most wonderful winter wedding nestled in the walls of the Vancouver Club this past Saturday.

We snuck away for a few minutes between the ceremony and reception for a few portraits, including this one in the lobby highlighting the detail of the dress and a moment between the newlyweds -

Walt shares a celebratory dance with the second most important lady of the day - the flowergirl!

Congratulations again, guys! The wedding was absolutely beautiful, and it was such an honour to be there to document it for you!

We first met with Cheryl & Walt just 2 weeks ago and in super fast tracked style we shot their engagement session on Christmas Eve and we’ll be documenting their wedding on January 6th. Sometimes when you know what you want you know what you want - after life and problems with a double booked venue put their originally planned September wedding on hiatus they weren’t sure when things would come together. Rather than waiting though, they decided to take advantage of the slow season allowing them to pull together the perfect wedding for them in the shortest possible timeframe!

From the details we’ve heard the wedding is going to be fantastic, and the Vancouver Club will be the perfect backdrop. We’ll look forward to sharing the images from our first wedding of 2007 with you as soon as they’re ready!

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.

Lyndsay and Mike were married this Friday at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club at Jericho. Lyndsay was absolutely stunning and Mike in his kilt definitely lived up to the “Hot Doctor” nickname that Lyndsay had given him early on in their relationship

And of course, what famiy picture would be complete without the puppies? The dogs had joined us previously for the engagement pictures so we were well in love with them by the time the wedding came around.

More images to come when we process them all!
