Sonya + Chris | Engagement

Amber — Mon, 02 May 2011 19:20:38 +0000

When I met with Sonya and Chris for their engagement session I was half expecting the sky to open up on us – not only did it spare us the downpour, the clouds actually broke and gave us a beautiful sunshiney session. I love when mother nature smiles on me!

Jessica + Anthony | Engagement

Amber — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 21:33:21 +0000

I headed out to Granville Island with Jessica and Anthony for their engagement session recently – they managed to keep the hugs coming despite the soaring temperatures that day!

Jessica and Anthony have spent many hours at Starbucks together studying… it seemed only fitting to drop in during our session!

I had so much fun getting to know you both better! Can’t wait to photograph your wedding next year!

I recently had the pleasure of photographing Amy and John’s maternity session – I love shooting sessions like this in more urban locations!

Amy and John – it was SUCH a pleasure capturing this time in your lives! I can’t wait to meet your new little girl one of these days!

Jessica + Corey | Engagement

Amber — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 20:19:54 +0000

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!

Kendra + Jon | Engagement Session

Amber — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 17:27:18 +0000

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!

Jessi + Brock | Wedding

Amber — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 19:23:18 +0000

I’ll never forget the way the chapel felt that day – so warm and full of love. It seemed like no matter where you looked people were wearing their joy on their sleeves. In the middle of it all, Jessi and Brock stood – so in love it seemed like the rest of the room wasn’t there. In the presence of all those who loved them, Jessi and Brock were getting married.

Jessi’s bridal jewelry

I’m SO in love with Jessi’s bracelet!

One last steam…

The girls watching… can you feel the love?

Meanwhile, my second shooter Masi Bardi was with the boys

Brock gave his groomsmen personalized lighters as wedding gifts

Ceremony time!

This was my first time witnessing a prayer circle… it was simply amazing to watch!

Jessi’s father wrote and performed a song – I had tears in my eyes

You KNOW what a sucker I am for architecture

We headed down to Granville Island from there and had a little fun in the market…

Jessi gave each of her girls a different vintage ring

Some proof that Brock and his groomsmen are full of awesome:

Loved this shot from Masi

Reception time!

Check out their cake toppers…. the little Brock even has a polka dot tie!

The first dance

Jessi and Brock – it was such an honour and pleasure to be there with you through this wonderful chapter in your lives. Thank you for choosing me to capture your love!

I met up with John and Christine recently for a fun (and slightly drizzly) couple’s session in Granville Island.

Telling secrets… makes wish I knew what they were whispering about!

Love is neat

Love this shot of you John!

Oooo… stunning!

Sarah + Joseph | Family Session

Amber — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:31:43 +0000

I met up with Sarah and Joseph recently for a chilly but fun family session. Their two little guys were total sweethearts!

Did somebody say TICKLES!?

Aww!

Hehe.. this rain set is *too* cute!

Lollipops, cute kids AND an awesome green van? Yes please!

Sarah and Joseph – It was such a pleasure to get to know your family better! Your boys are just adorable and I loved watching them have fun with those giant lollipops.

Thanks for choosing me to capture them!
