Granville Island is such an awesome location simply because there are so many different ways and places to shoot! No two sessions are ever the same.
This shoot was a blast, starting with lunch right through to sneaking photos in Sybel’s parent’s candy shop to getting to meet Rambo the dog. Their Sutton Place wedding in July is definitely one to look forward to. Can’t wait!
And - of course - Reilly needed to scratch his climbing bug, so I’ve thrown 2 shots in from his vantage point up a tree 
We’re really looking forward to Ben & Ange’s wedding in July. We had a great time exploring the streets of Gastown and East Van to find just the right spots for the perfect shots.
Thanks for braving the wind, guys! The photos are super hot… here are just a few, can’t wait to share the rest!
It’s always an honour when other photographers ask us to shoot them, and all that much more fun when they are friends, too.
Tracey & Jonathan braved the cold wind and Reilly’s 4×4 driving dreams (in a car that is so not a 4×4) last week for a series of portraits.
Looking forward to seeing you guys again soon! Here are just a few of our fav shots!
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 perfect day. The weather was amazing - especially for a November wedding. We were even able to do the family portraits outside! What a treat for this time of year.
3 stunning outfits… many friends and family… and a lot of love. That pretty much sums it up.
I started pulling out images to blog and it was getting out of hand so I pared it down… what you don’t see here are the touching moments where Daisy’s dad watches her finish getting ready from the back of the room, the tender ceremony, the tea ceremony bringing together two families and two cultures, the musical performance complete with song, guitar, and kazoos during the reception, and too many toasts and heartfelt hugs to count… and the list could go one and on. Daisy and Joel - it was such a pleasure to spend your day with you and to see just how loved you both are. Congratulations!

Congrats again to you both! Best of luck with exams in the coming weeks. We’ll look forward to sharing the rest of your images!
Earlier this week we headed onto the beach and into the ocean with Shawn & Eri for their After Session!
As Eri told the reporter who interviewed her for the Province last week, she wanted for her and Shawn to run into the ocean together - and so they did. And, of course, so did we. Who are we to get our clients to do anything that we wouldn’t do?
The pictures are stunning and speak for themselves. Are they typical wedding pictures? Of course not. But they are art, they’ll look fabulous on the wall, and they will have these guys talking for years to come. The dress was sandy and wet but very likely recoverable. And of course, we all had a blast!

And my fav shot of the set!
Love you guys! Thanks for playing with us in the ocean 
Jen and Neil are getting married in March in Tofino - our very favourite place to shoot. Yesterday we headed out to Granville Island for their engagement shots. If their session yesterday was any indication, we cannot WAIT for their wedding, it’s going to be a tonne of fun and yield some stellar images!

On Saturday in the sun and heat we had the grand pleasure of photographing Dana & Jennie’s wedding!
With a gorgeous bride and hot groom, an amazing day with deep blue skies, and with all the family and friends in from Nova Scotia for a party, how could it not be a good time?!
Hitched!

Have a FABULOUS time in Tofino and Ucluelet!! While you’re there hit up Subtidal Adventures for their 4 hour whale, bear, and broken group island tour on the cruiser - we did it last week when we were there and had a blast, even in the rain!
Cheers!
It was dubbed “The Wedding of the Season” and it certainly lived up to the name! Delany Dunn, VP of Fan Experience for the Vancouver Canadians, married his long time sweetheart Lisa Marie after the last home game of the season yesterday. Fans, players, friends, and family alike were there to celebrate with them as they tied the knot at home base.
The media was out in full force, ensuring their wedding was not only documented by us, but by every TV station and newspaper in town it looks like as well! I know they made the papers today and the news last night for sure.
The horse and carriage were a surprise for Lisa Marie by Delany - and it worked. Here’s a shot of her reaction when she saw it for the first time -

Rev. Brent Sheppard (www.heyrev.com) was on hand to keep everyone in good spirits and to get these two married, and like always, he had everyone laughing and smiling. I LOVE working with him!
*sigh*
One of many overhead shots, this one an old school polaroid just for fun. Check out all the media! Crazy!

Married!
I love this shot - a walk through the stadium before leaving

And my favourite set - Lisa Marie & Delany together. How cute is she?!
Congrats again, guys! What a wedding!
Shawn & Eri were married on Friday at the Celebration Pavilion in Queen Elizabeth Park. I love it when our couples are so MADLY IN LOVE - it makes our job so much fun! We did a quick jaunt around the park for this set of images before heading into Seasons for an afternoon reception.
More to come from these two - watch the blog!
Married - at last!
Madly in Love - and Gorgeous Skies
