Shanaz + Nick | Hampshire Wedding

When we awoke that morning in the English countryside, the weather forecast was promising us a typically British day… rain, rain, rain! However, by some strange miracle the area surrounding Warbrook House seemed to be spared of it – instead the day was filled with warm sunshine and fresh sweet summer air. The perfect backdrop for such a wonderful day!

Shanaz and Nick’s nieces and nephews were all a part of the wedding – it was cuteness overload! ;)

Shanaz’s dress was so lovely!

Oh how I love the red soles on Christian Louboutin’s shoes!

Time to get ready…

Shanaz… you looked SO stunning!

A few quick shots of the boys before go time

Nick, you were GQ all the way ;)

Ceremony time!

Loved the look on Nick’s face as his bride appeared…

I had some competition ;)

Yay! Mr and Mrs!

A  little pre-dinner mingling :)

We managed to squeeze in a little time for portraits :)

Reception time!

The first dance :)

After the first dance we set off sky lanterns… it was nothing short of magical!

Get down everybody!

Of course, some gratuitous ring action! :)

Shanaz and Nick – words can’t even describe what an amazing experience it was to travel to England and photograph your wedding! Thank you for choosing me to be there with you – I will treasure the memories as long as I live! :)

HUGE thanks to Dave Purton for being my second shooter for the day! You rock!!

Shanaz + Nick | London Engagement

Fresh off the plane from Canada I met up with Shanaz and Nick to shoot their engagement session in the streets of London. I’ll never forget meeting them for the first time – Shanaz was all smiles and Nick was immediately showing off his quick wit keeping both Bryn and I laughing. As we walked through town I was amazed at how much they both knew about their beautiful city and even more so how incredibly open and relaxed they were with two complete strangers.

We started out at Westminster Abbey – I would KILL to have a location like this in Vancouver!


Dear Big Ben: I <3 you!

Stay tuned for the wedding photos!! :)

Jessica + Corey | Engagement

I recently spent an afternoon with Jessica and Corey exploring Granville Island – about half way through the rain started and we ducked into the market for a few shots. What a lovely afternoon! :)

Vivian + Doug | Engagement

Vivian and Doug threw down the guantlet for me with their engagement session – they wanted me to brainstorm a location I’ve always wanted to shoot but never had the chance to and we’d try something completely new and different. Am I ever glad they did! The result was SO much fun to shoot :)


Vivian and Doug – I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun I had on your session! I can’t wait for your wedding day! :)

Kendra + Jon | Engagement Session

Vancouver was it’s usual unpredictable self the day Kendra, Jon and I were set to get together for their engagement session – rain one minute, partly cloudy the next. It didn’t seem to bother either of them though… as you can see their love brought more than enough warmth and light to the day! :)

Love these next couple of shots… makes my heart squeeze :)

You know me and shoes :)


You’re so cute together!


We went on the aquabus! How awesome is that!?:D

The clouds started rolling in… made for some nice moodiness

Kendra and Jon – I had SO much fun getting to know both of you better… and overcoming my fear of little boats. hehe ;)

Looking forward to your upcoming wedding!
