Amber Hughes Photography bio picture

Welcome

Pull up a keyboard, get comfy and prepare to know me better! I'm a Vancouver photographer specializing in life's moments (weddings, maternity, newborns... I love them all) and enjoying my own moments in my spare time. I love to knit, cook, ride my cruiser bikes, collect vintage knick knacks... and of course, take photos! ;)

Jenna + Brent | Wedding

July 29, 2010 – 10:08 am

Jenna and Brent are a couple that always keeps me laughing – their smiles are infectious and the ease and warmth they have for each other is beautiful to be around.
I had a lot of fun on their engagement session last year and their wedding was no different! There were so many moments of laughter and warmth from the beginning of the day to the end – we even had a wedding day surprise that kept us all entertained for hours, but that’s a story for another day.
For now… enjoy the wedding of Jenna and Brent! :)

I started out the day with Jenna and her bridesmaids at her parents home – loved the looks Jenna gave me as her hair got done!

hee hee :)

I <3 accessories!

Jenna…. you are SO beautiful!

Meanwhile, my second shooter Karen Dyke was with the boys as they got ready… :)

Time for the ceremony at Redwoods Golf Course

I can’t remember what was said here, but this shot cracks me up every time! :)

Portraits!

Cue the ring shot bonanza….

Reception time!

Now THIS is how you make an entrance!


Jenna and Brent had custom dilly bars as an after dinner treat… what a cute idea!

I always love the first dance :)

Jenna and Brent – it was such a wonderful day filled with laughter, surprises (hehe) and love! It was my pleasure to be there with you! :)

Out of the office

July 22, 2010 – 6:06 pm

Just a quick post to let you all know I’ll be out of town until Monday July 26th for a wedding in Victoria.

And… because no post is complete without a photo… here’s a quicky of my nephew doing what he does best… goof around!

See you on the flip side!

Hi everyone! Well, no doubt you’ve noticed my blog hasn’t been updated nearly as often as one might expect – I’ve been a bad bad blogger, but with good reason.
The last two months have been the busiest of my entire career and in between shooting and delivering final images I haven’t found a lot of time left over!

Well, I give you my solemn pledge to turn that around and start the blog machine back up. Cross my heart! :)

As I know everyone is waiting to see their photos (and I really appreciate your patience) here are preview images of each session waiting in my blog queue at the moment – keep your eyes peeled for all of them to hit the blog soon! :)

Martine + Brett | Harrison Hot Springs Wedding

July 21, 2010 – 1:38 pm

The day started out at the beautiful White Album Chapel – if you’ve never seen this venue before you definitely have to check it out!

I think you’ll agree – Martine is simply stunning!

Martine’s beautiful bouquet

Both of Martine and Brett’s children were there… they couldn’t be any cuter! :)

Ceremony time

Seriously loving the look on Brett’s face as Martine walked down the aisle :)

Yay! :)

There was a little mingle time after the ceremony – Martine and Brett had Dutch peanuts and custom water bottles for their guests. So fun! :)

We headed to Harrison for some portraits

Looking good ladies!

I <3 flower clips for brides! So lovely :)

The reception was held at the Executive Hotel in Harrison Hot Springs

Each table had to send up a representative to play musical chairs – the better you did the earlier you got to serve yourself dinner at the buffet. Love it! ;)

The first dance

Everybody party!

It was such a lovely day Martine and Brett – thank you for having me there with you to capture it! :)

Special thanks to Karen Dyke for being my awesometastic second shooter that day!
