After photographing these guys a couple of times leading up to the wedding day, I have to say it was one we were definitely looking forward to. And how could we not?! Great, laid back, fun people with plans for a ceremony overlooking the lake and mountains at Cleveland Dam (a breathtaking place) followed by a warm reception filled with unique, personal details. Perfection.

It is, however, Vancouver – and for this particular summer day that meant more rain than usual. Christine & Tim had to make the call on whether they wanted to move the ceremony indoors to the hotel, and they chose just what I was hoping they would: to heck with keeping dry, the ceremony would go off as planned!

I think there’s something so magical about grey skies and rain days… colours pop, people cuddle under umbrellas, and in many ways I think this wedding will be so much more memorable than if it had been a sunny day. Love it.

The Delta Hotel in Burnaby was the reception venue of choice and the ballroom was impressive. On the vendor side, this day wouldn’t have been possible without Shari on our team, the always fantastic Bruce at Cloud Nine Creative for video, Hot Wax keeping the music going, and Jack and Jill Weddings for decor to name just a few of the people behind the scenes.

Oh – and the best part – did I mention the bubble tea?! Seriously, a cocktail hour complete with passed bubble tea really should be the new standard.

Chat soon guys! Can’t wait for your album, looking forward to seeing everything in print!
