I hear so many love stories – stories of how people met, how they got engaged, and so on. And I’ve never heard a story quite like this one.

Felicia & Nina are novelists, and their story is nothing short of a fairy tale.

Their relationship started in separate cities with a letter. A handwritten, pen to paper letter. One came back. Another sent. And so on…

They’d met in a prior lifetime, but for months it was only through pen and paper that they spoke… they became a couple on paper, and they traveled to Vancouver to be wed on the one year anniversary of finally – finally – seeing eachother in person.

They chose the Roedde House museum as it was the home to Vancouver’s first bookbinder, and a perfect setting for this day. We joined them for a few photos before they went on their way, and I wish they lived closer as I know we’d be great friends.

Cheers to you both! Thank you for sharing your day with us. We can’t wait to share your album with you :)

I was in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago for the annual WPPI photography convention with 15 000  or so of my favorite photographer friends!

Since moving into our new studio just before Christmas we’ve been stuck trying to figure out just what should go up on the walls, but I found a few amazing new products that will be debuting in our studio over the next couple of months thanks to the convention. If you think you’re in love with what we have now, you just wait ;)

Tracey, Jeanie, Ian and I also rented a car to get off of the strip with our cameras. Tracey hadn’t been to Vegas before so we did what any good photographers do – we headed to the Welcome to Vegas sign.

As we pulled up the CUTEST couple in wedding dress and suit were there. Hot pink accents, feathers in the hair, all cute and just married – being photographed by the limo driver.

No, no no, noooooooooooo. That just wouldn’t do.

I don’t even know if we were parked yet when I jumped out of the car and got over there to introduce myself. Clearly, this couple needed some photographer love, and Tracey, Jeanie, and I were excited to jump in.

We ended up shooting a quick session at the sign as they were in the middle of their private city tour, otherwise we probably would have pulled them into our car and driven around with them for a while, too ;) They had just gotten married at a little chapel by the sounds of it, and had had the teary phone call home with the news! As fate would have it they were also fellow Canadians who’d eloped from their home in Ontario.

CONGRATS CONGRATS Ericka & Justin! Thanks for letting us take over a little bit of your wedding day, and for not running away when I insisted that you really, really wanted us to shoot you ;)

Cheers!

Julia and Adam ran away to Vancouver from their home in England to get married!

Tied the knot this morning, skiing this afternoon, and then on a plane to Hawaii tomorrow for their honeymoon before coming back to spend some time in Whistler. Sounds wonderful!

Reilly and I were honoured to meet up with them for just an hour today to capture the private ceremony and grab a few quick portraits.  Here’s just a quick peek at the day! Congrats again!

On May 23 Rosemary & David eloped and were married on Salt Spring Island. What an amazing day! The stop to be wed was in the middle of a 16 day sail on their prized sailboat. The spot they chose couldn’t have been more perfect, and what a better way to spend the evening than to go for a short cruise?

Congrats again guys!

I can share!

The cat is out of the bag and I am excited to share some more of the images we got of Christopher & Anna’s wedding earlier this month. Anna was simply stunning and Christopher in his fedora just took the cake.

Enjoy!
