On Saturday we headed to the Beach House at Dundarave Pier for the wedding of Heather and Justin.

The weather didn’t cooperate, but Heather chose to keep the ceremony exactly where she wanted it - on the beach. And how gorgeous it was! The matching umbrellas they’d bought for just such a day were perfect

The Ceremony

Indoor portraits - I love both of these shots, I can’t decide which I like more!

And of course, a run outside in the rain

The rings - with just a few of the many wine glasses. Wine and great food were two of the biggest themes, with each of the food stations carefully paired with just the perfect wine.

The Cake - kudos to Paula at Aeyra Cakes for an amazing job on this one!

And of course, the reception. Oh, the reception! Between the guys serenading Heather during the garter removal to the group performance of the Grease soundtrack, there’s no lack of great dancing and reception shots. Here are just a few to give a taste of the night!

CONGRATS, Heather & Justin, have a FANTASTIC time on your honeymoon in Italy!

Also, a big shout out to Erin & Alicia from DreamGroup who were on hand to keep everything running smoothly

Cheers!

When we met with Renee & Rob last winter Renee told me that she wanted her wedding to be warm and elegant, and for her guests to have a great time. She certainly succeeded!

Saturday was gorgeous, and Hycroft (The University Women’s Club) was the perfect venue. It’s one of my favourite places to shoot, I love how the layout of the house allows for the guests to mingle and visit with eachother. Perfect!

Renee

Renee’s sister, Jessica, designed two of the most amazing cakes I’ve ever seen. She is based out of Montreal and she can be found online at www.jessicaberardcakes.com - definitely worth checking out if you’re anywhere close to her!

As part of her thank you gift to her sister and maid of honour, Renee bought Jessica a portrait session with us for when she was down! One of the images will be a headshot on her new site when it goes live. A sneak peak of those will be up tomorrow!

The Groom’s Cake
(and yes - that head is chocolate. I watched her mold it the morning of the wedding!)

And the Bride’s Cake - complete with 2 My Little Ponies from Renee’s collection! Have you ever seen anything like it?!

For the first dance Renee and Rob whisked away to come back in full costume for their salsa number. HOT!

And as yet another treat, Rob and his buddies performed a dance of their own. Afterwards, Rob put his teaching skills (Rob teaches martial arts, which is how he and Renee met) to work to teach the crowd a few dance moves

We had SO MUCH fun with you guys, and we really cannot wait to share the rest of the images! It was great to see you again today Renee and we’ll be in touch soon.

Cheers!

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!

Natasha & Scott were married on Sunday among friends and family at Hycroft, the University Women’s Club of Vancouver. An event expertly pulled together by the ladies over at Fuego Events, the wedding was the perfect mix of upscale class and a relaxed schedule with the only real listing on the agenda being to get married. The site was the perfect backdrop for everyone to mingle and enjoy the company!

Congratulations again! It was an honour to witness such a warm wedding and the obvious love of all your family and friends!

Jennifer and Colin kicked off the August long weekend with their wedding yesterday at the Brock House.

The weather was perfect and the sunset went on and on! Here are a few of our favourite shots so far -

Kudos to the teams from Countdown Events, Flower Factory, Diana’s Dreamcakes, and WKR designs for all they did to make the day go off without a hitch!

Sahar & Chris were married on Saturday at the new Celebration Pavilion in Queen Elizabeth park, and they held their reception there at Seasons Restaurant.

Sahar was the perfect classic bride - I loved how she had her hair done and her dresses (one for the day, and one to dance in!) were classic and gorgeous to match!

They chose for their photos to be of just them which afforded us lots of time to drive around the city with their classic Rolls Royce grabbing photos wherever we went.

A few minutes after their first look, here they are on the couch in their new home by UBC

And again, with the car near Jericho beach

A few of the gorgeous reception details

I really loved that they used stones for their guestbook, allowing guests to write well wishes with a permanent gold marker. These are fantastic as they can be displayed in so many ways and in so many places in their home, and will be enjoyed I think more than a book that seldom gets opened.

Also, they chose to decorate their tables with the simple flower arrangements shown but more importantly with pictures they had taken from their many overseas trips to the countries featured on each one. Family and friends at the table were able to look through the photos and share the stories they had heard from the couple about each trip, and guests were encouraged to take any pictures that they really enjoyed.

And finally, getting to know both Sahar and Chris we really got to see the fun loving spirit they share. On that note, I think that this non traditional cake feeding shot shows a tonne of personality!

Congratulations again, guys! It was an honour to celebrate with you. See you after your honeymoon!

Last weekend we travelled to the Sooke Harbour House on Vancouver Island for our 3rd destination event in a row! Rob & Jill travelled there with their close family and friends for their weekend away. What I love most about their choice in location is that it will be the perfect place to escape to for years to come for their anniversaries! The perfect retreat.

A few of our favourites so far - first, the flower girls!

Rob & Jill just after the kiss. I’m standing below them on the path, and Rob is looking out over the ocean. I can only imagine all of the wonderful things he is thinking of as they officially start their life together as husband and wife!

Aimee and Sabrina travelled with their close family and friends from California to Tofino for their destination wedding this week. They were married on the beach and we went for a long walk thanks to the low tide for their photo session where we were able to capture some gorgeous images of these two ladies. Congratulations again to you both, and we hope you enjoyed your week in Tofino!

Keith and Julie chose Bodega Ridge Lodge on Galiano Island as their perfect wedding destination. Avid cyclists and kayakers, the island was close enough to home yet still felt a million miles away and provided plenty of opportunities for both sports.

Here are a few of our favourite shots so far!

Thanks again to both of you for inviting us to celebrate with you!
