Amanda + Dan | Wedding

Amber — Sat, 21 May 2011 02:50:11 +0000

Dan and Amanda’s wedding happened on a rare patch of sunshine in an otherwise grey and rainy Spring here on the westcoast – the sun only reflected the warmth everyone was feeling though… you could feel it in every laugh, every glance and every tear. The true sunshine was Dan, Amanda and their amazing circle of friends and family!

Amanda and Dan – thank you so much for choosing me to be there with you! Special thanks to Michael Wachniak for all his awesome second shooting ways!

Jessica + Corey | Wedding

Amber — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 04:42:45 +0000

I started out the day with Jessica at her brother’s cute character house in Kerrisdale. It was such a cozy spot to get ready in and I loved the feeling of excitement you could feel in everyone as the girls got ready!

Hair and makeup for Jessica and her girls was done by Anita Lee from Hairspray and Lipgloss – I’ve worked with them before and they’re fantastic!

Meanwhile my second photographer, Karen Dyke, was with the boys as they got themselves ready… and had a little breakfast

How cute are these two?

The ceremony was held at Knox United Church in Kerrisdale – it was so cute inside!

I love the look on Corey’s face as he saw Jessica coming down the aisle…

Mr and Mrs

After the ceremony we headed off for some portraits in Stanley Park and Coal Harbour

Seriously? Isn’t Jessica stunning?

Tea ceremony time!

We found a moment to run out and get a couple more shots before the reception…

The reception was held in the Crystal Pavilion room at the Pan Pacific Hotel

The cake was beautiful… I love flowers as cake decor!

Jessica and Corey had a few performances through the night… it was really lovely to watch their friends celebrate their love through their artforms!

The first dance

Everybody dance!!!

The rings

One last shot…

Jessica and Corey – it was truly a pleasure to be there with you through such an amazing day!

Kendra + Jon | Wedding

Amber — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 02:43:06 +0000

I started out the day with Kendra at a fabulous character home she rented in Yaletown – it was the perfect setting for the preparations!

Meanwhile my second shooter Masi Bardi was with the boys

The ceremony was at the Celebration Pavilion in Queen Elizabeth Park – I seriously can’t say enough good things about this place! It’s a photographer’s dream

Woohoo!

Time for portraits! We hit up a few different locations around Vancouver

Love love love this next photo!!! Kendra + Jon = EPIC LOVE!

The reception was held at the Vancouver Rowing Club – it had such a lovely feel inside and Kendra and Jon’s decor matched it perfectly!

The food was SO GOOD… if you’re considering bbq for your reception dinner, I highly recommend it!

What’s cuter than cupcakes? Cupcakes in every size and colour of course!

The first dance

Ah… the rings!

As evening fell we just *had* to run outside and grab a few more portraits… how lovely is this light?

Parrtttyyyy!

Kendra and Jon – I had SUCH an amazing time at your wedding! Thank you for choosing me and for making me feel so much a part of your day!

Shannon + Jesse | Wedding

Amber — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 05:16:56 +0000

Jesse waited on the boardwalk… the rain coming down in random drops all around him. As he stood alone with his thoughts his beautiful bride was approaching behind him. Today was the day they would marry… and in a moment he was going to see his wife for the first time on that special day.

* * * *

Loved Shannon’s dress!

The ladies help Shannon into her dress

Shannon’s beautiful jewelry. The locket contains her great grandparents, which she carried with her bouquet all day.

Shannon and this wall had a serious thing going!

Shannon’s other shoes… I loved them!

Meanwhile, my second Kristel was with the boys grabbing these awesome shots!

Shannon and Jesse chose to do a reveal before the ceremony… it was my first time and I loved it!

The other angle from Kristel…

Portraits IN Emily Car? Yes please!

Loved the architecture in there!

The hotness!

This bouquet was just gorgeous!

I love it when times stands still…

Ceremony time at the Pacific Palisades!

The reception was held at Coal Harbour Community Center…. loved their pink and green colour scheme!

I never get tired of cupcakes… especially the miniature variety!

SO many cute kiddos at their reception!

We snuck out for some secret portraits…

I *love* these shots of Shannon!

First dances always make my heart squeeze…

Shannon and Jesse – Looking back on your wedding day, I hardly even remember that it was raining! The warmth you have for each other made it just as sunny a day as any other this summer… thank you for choosing me to capture it for you!
