FLORENCE + RYAN - Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club - Vancouver Wedding Photographer

Florence + Ryan were married last year on a GORGEOUS GORGEOUS Sunny summer day.  I remember it being stinkin’ hot.  Luckily it didn’t phase these guys one bit.   And the bridesmaids were even nice enough to ensure the guys had some ice cream in the morning - happened to be garlic ice cream and happened to be during the games in the morning where the groom and his groomsmen have to prove their worth to win the bride… but still… icecream.  There were a lot of things that I loved about this day.  Mostly Florence and Ryan but also beautiful light, gorgeous willows, wind blowing the girls hair, beautiful classic architecture and lots of smiles and laughter.  The reception was definately full of laughter and lots of singing and also lots and lots of happy tears :)  So sweet to see how much love there was for this couple.  Especially when it comes from younger brother.  Thanks Florence and Ryan for being GORGEOUS And for having us along for your day.  And thank you to Jen and Andrew (whom we adore) for recommending us to this fabulous couple.

One thing I remember from this wedding, which had nothing to do with Florence and Ryan but entirely to do with me… was RIGHT as the bride was walking down the aisle… I GOT STUNG BY A BEE!!!! ARGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! so painful!!!! and such bad timing.  The dang bee must have been sitting on my lens and when I grabbed it to rotate to zoom, STING! STUNG! STANG!!! right on my finger… right when the bride was walking down the aisle.  I had to remember not to scream and TO KEEP SHOOTING!!! My goodness it hurt.  I managed to keep shooting while all the precious moments happend and then dissappear to the back of the guests when the priest started the ceremony and make sure the darn thing was gone.  luckily my self pity and the pain went away and we rocked out the rest of the wedding… but note to self, WATCH OUT FOR BEES on your lenses :P

Okay, now on to the pretty photos.

BERNELLE + WILL : Fairmont Hotel Vancouver + Kirin Starlight Casino

There were so many things that I loved about this wedding.  All of the amazing details being one of them; who knew orange and blue details looked so amazingly fabulous together.  Everything from the bride’s and bridesmaid’s accessories, to the guys accessories to the flowers and to the stunning decor at the ceremony were just gorgeous. I wish I could have an aisle of glowing cherry blossom trees in my house everyday :)   Bernelle looked stunning in her Allure gown from Lisa’s Bridal.  Her blue Nina shoes and stunning hair pieces handmade by her aunt were the best accessories.  The guys looked pretty good too and I just loved their ties and pocket squares.  I loved that the groomsmen had blue accessories and Will’s were in Orange.  Such great creativity and coordination.  The amazing flowers were by Kathleen at Proline trading who always creates such colourful and joyful work.  Not only did I freak out over all the details but the photos we took at the Hotel Vancouver had me jumping up and down the staircase.  So much so that I choose one of my all time favourites shots to be the new ad for our latest wedluxe advertisement.  Thank you Bernelle for being so stunning.

But as much as I loved all the details I truly loved this couple.  I think I have a problem… I love all my couples. Bernelle and Will are just the nicest, sweetest, joyful people who really love and care for all their family and friends.  They really wanted to make sure that all of their guests were taken care of and enjoyed themselves and that’s exactly what happened.  Of course delicious food from Starlight Casino’s Kirin restaurant doesn’t hurt.

Enjoy some of my favourite images from the day.  Oh, and be sure to pick up the latest Wedluxe to see Bernelle in her gorgeous ad.

ANDREA + MIKE - Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club Wedding

This day was full of so many beautiful things - I just loved it!  Purple Badgley Mishka’s, gorgeous flowers, gorgeous photos at the Fairmont Pacific Rim and Gastown, purple orchids everywhere (I LOVE MOKARA ORCHIDS) - they even did this cute thing where they put a purple mokara orchid at every place setting and then ladies started wearing them in their hair - LOVED IT!!!  And of course, we cannot forget one amazingly gorgeous bride :)  Andrea and Mike were very special to us.  We kicked it off right from the start but it wasn’t until the wedding day that I figured out that Mike is a dead ringer for Scott’s youngest brother.  No wonder we had so much fun with the guy.  He was like a long lost best brother - he’d fit right in :)  Their wedding party and families were some of the sweetest people that we could not have asked for a better day at the Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club.  Thanks Andrea and Mike for having us, we hope Australia is treating you well :)

JOANNA + NATHAN - COASTAL CHURCH + TERMINAL CITY CLUB WEDDING

This was a special wedding.  Full of people we love :)  The amount of love everyone has for this couple is simply amazing.  We could see how special they were to everyone.  And it’s easy to know why, Jo and Nathan have huge huge hearts; for each other and for all the people in their lives.  They were two of the most relaxed and easy going people we’ve had the pleasure of working with.  But really, they were just so happy to be marrying each other.  The day was full of beautiful details all inspired by Jo’s favourite colour purple, from dresses to flowers to adorable clutch purses and even a great pair of purple raybans that were a gift from one of her besties.  The night was full full full of laughter - seriously, I could  barely control myself with this croud, and some emotional tears as well.  But the joy was perfectly capped off with an amazing performance by one of Joanna’s favourite singers, Jessie Farrell.

Jo and Nathan, Thank you so much for choosing Scott and I to come and share in this special day with you both.  You are amazing people.  And Jo - thanks for some of my fave shots - the one of you in the limo - so NEW YORK - and the one with the ladybug.  I kinda like all the rest too ;P  Enjoy a few faves.

RACHEL + JON - WESTIN BAYSHORE + SFU DIAMOND ALUMNI CLUB

One of the best things I remember about these two - is how amazingly Jon loves Rachel.  They are a beautiful couple and when they are together you can feel the love.  You can feel how much he adores her :)  And the moment they had their first look was definitely at moment you could feel the love.  This wedding was held on a beautiful day in Vancouver and we had a lovely time taking photos in Coal Harbour and SFU.  Their reception was full of beautiful details where a lot of attention was put into little things for their guests including a candy bar, flip flops to help people feel more comfortable and a photo booth to get silly in.  Rachel and Craig put so much work into this beautiful wedding and it was all lovingly pulled together by the fabulous Craig at CBO events.  Thank you to Rachel and Jon, their amazing wedding party and all their family and friends for having us along.
