Alexa & Gary

Alexa & Gary tied the knot atop Grouse Mountain on Saturday. The kind of people who don’t tend to take themselves too seriously, we had a lot of laughs with them and their crew taking pictures around Coal Harbour before heading out for the ceremony.

And then there were the details – oh, the details. I loved the details. Fancy papers and ribbon were hiding if you looked – everywhere from the menu at the bar to the reserved signs on the chairs.  The favours became a game as instead of names they had pictures of each guest, some recent and some not so recent, prompting a game of “where the heck am I?!” for each person as they came in. The cake table was decorated with colour coordinated buttons, mimicing the candy buttons in each cupcake. And, finally, Alexa and her mom sewed the cutest little teabags for her favours out of the coolest fabric I’ve seen in a while. Not a single piece of the decor was your typical wedding fare, and after spending some time with these two I can say that it was exactly perfect.

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!

Marsha & Cuong

This past weekend we headed out on a road trip for Marsha & Cuong’s Edmonton wedding! It’s always such an honour when our clients refer us to their friends (thanks L&C! great to see you!), and even more of one when we’re invited back despite being so far away.

We knew exactly where we were going to head for photos – to the country, of course! I love Vancouver but I do miss the Alberta prairies from a photo perspective!

I started out the day at the salon with the girls. Here’s Marsha getting the finishing touches –

And of course, the dress. It was GORGEOUS! It was made of silk and it had so much raw detail and character. I loved it!

Did I mention the fields? I’m still finding pieces of straw in our stuff! Reilly and I were both rolling around on the ground for this set – so well worth it!

The happy couple

And, no question, the uncle needs to make the blog. After the first dance and the father daughter dance we had a special number – an entire song of dancing with a full bottle of opened beer on his head! What a way to start a party!

Congrats again, guys! Thanks for trusting us on our jaunt out into the countryside for such a great set of images – we can’t wait for you to see the rest!

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!

Natasha and Scott – Married!

Renee & Rob are getting married in September at Hycroft – an elegant gala in the plans that we are eagerly looking forward to!

On Monday we got together for a wander through Chinatown to enjoy some treats from one of the Chinese bakeries and to wander through Dr. Sun Yat Sen gardens to enjoy the sunshine and – well, for me – to visit the turtles. I could sit and watch those turtles for HOURS.

Here are a couple of our shots so far – with two, of course, focussing on that great red wall!

Agnes & Frankie were married on Saturday! They travelled to Vancouver from their home in Calgary for a whirlwind day of traditions, tea ceremonies, cruising back alleys with us, and amazing friends and family!

On the topic of tradition, here’s just one of many shots highlighting just how dedicated to getting to the bride these guys were. This is just a few of them belting out a love song at the top of their lungs at the early hour of 8:30 am!
