WeddingsInBC Feature - Lyvia + Mark

CONGRATULATIONS to LYVIA + MARK whose gorgeous wedding has been featured today on the fabulous WeddingsInBC Inspiration Room.  Head here to check it out as well as all the other wonderful things they’ve featured.

IRIS + JASON - Vancouver Wedding Photographer, Granville Island Engagement Session

Iris and Jason and silly, silly, silly and wonderfully at ease with each other.  They are full of laughter and good times.  They enjoy good restaraunts, wineries and architecture.  Iris is a good cook and loves to help others.  Jason is a true support and well organized.  They both have the exact same taste in wrapping paper :)  Jason asked Iris to marry him in San Francisco.  They live in Toronto and will tie the knot here in Vancouver this July.  So excited!

A big shout out to Alicia @ Dreamgroup who is helping to put together this fabulous wedding as well as to the always amazing Ai Nagasawa who did the beautiful makeup for Iris.

JENNY + JEFF - Vancouver Wedding Photographer, Granville Island Engagement Photos

Jenny and Jeff are in love.  They are both silly, laid back and tend to dress alike (unintentionally).  They love the outdoors and are often camping, biking or lounging in their hot tub.  They both love to travel and have been to 5 countries and 4 provinces together.  Jenn is gorgeous and reminds me of red headed Natalie Portman.  Jeff is drawn to Jenny’s beautiful smile and Jenny loves Jeff’s muscles (seriously, the guy has cannons for arms - hee hee).  Jeff proposed with some help from Santa as well as family and friends.  She wanted a ring with a coloured diamond and Jeff delivered.  They will be getting married this coming September long weekend at a lighthouse on a gulf island - it’s going to be fabulous!

LYVIA + MARK - Vancouver Wedding Photographer - Swaneset Wedding

You may remember Lyvia + Mark (and their adorable 4-legged guy Kobe) from their engagement sessions x 2. Their wedding was this past February and they had an amazingly fabulously awesome day complete with sunny weather.  Although, though it looked warm it most certainly was NOT.  We had to fight below freezing temps and everyone did beautifully :)  There’s a lot I want to say about this wedding, everything from how much fun we had with everyone to how beautiful Lyvia looked to how adorable Kobe looked (and marked looks super handsome too :P) to how great Swaneset was, and how cute these two are together, etc, etc… but I think I’ll just let some of my fav shots do the talking.  Thanks to The Cross for allowing us to get out of the freezing cold for some Ah-mazing photos, Swaneset, Sweet Thea Cakes, Lolo Jewellery and flowers by bridal beginnings for their amazing work in making Lyv + Mark’s day so amazing!

RACHEL + JON - Vancouver Engagement Session

Rachel and Jon are both outgoing and caring.  They love to walk the seawall in West Van as well as cook dinners together.  Rachel LOVES shoes and has a fabulous shoe collection.  Jon loves Rachel :) He loves to make her laugh.  Rachel has the best laugh.   Jon is from Toronto and introduced Rachel to Bulk Barn :P  They love and support each other so much and are getting ready to tie the knot in July - so excited for their wedding :)

CATHERINE + JAY - Vancouver Engagement Session

Catherine and Jay are elegant, classic and so wonderfully laid back.  I love the way Jay is with Catherine, so respectful and loving.  Catherine is a huge animal lover.  Jay loves motorcycles.  Both of them love to golf.  Jay proposed on the 18th hole with a golf flag that said “Catherine will you marry me.”  Catherine and Jay love movies, puzzles and did I mention golf.  They are getting married this month - I can’t wait.

A Big Thank you to The Shore Club and Northlands Golf and Country club for allowing us to have such a wonderful time and create such great images and memories.

YURI + KEITH - Vancouver Engagement Session

Yuri + Keith are both goofy and easygoing.  They love to eat good food, play games and watch American Idol.  Yuri is very modern and feminine.  Keith is very sporty and loves Coke gummies.  Keith’s proposal brought Yuri to tears.  Yuri loves the rain.  Keith loves Yuri.  They are very very much in love.

Can’t wait for their wedding.

THE ROYAL WEDDING - William + Catherine

Wow!  It’s such a wonderful and surreal experience to watch something (on tv or in real life) that you know is history in the making as well as perhaps a once in a life time experience.  The Royal Wedding really was a real life fairy tale (which by the way gave me goosebumps).  I thought it was just beautiful, the way the abbey was lined with trees, of course Kate’s dress(es) and all the richness of the ceremony and traditions and the anticipation of the kiss.  There was so much to see and frankly it was kinda killing me to just watch and not be able to snap a photo when I saw a beautiful moment unfold.  So to celebrate here are some images I pulled from the good ol’ internet that I thought were some of my favourite moments between the couple and during the whole wedding day (thanks to http://www.celebuzz.com/ and http://www.vogue.com/ for the borrowing of images).

Love this official portrait of the newly married couple - exactly what a Royal Portrait should look like.  And they look very very happy :)

Fav Moments

And the dresses were just gorgeous.  I really thought Kate’s dresses were perfect.  She looked traditional, modern, young and royal all at the same time, a real princess.  And I must say, Her sisiter Pippa looked STUNNING too.  Wow!  Someone’s going to pick her up I’m sure ;P

Looking forward to seeing so much more in the future.  To love, real love, for the Royals - and the rest of us :)
