It seemed Vancouver was determined to make this a wedding day to remember! :)

 

 

Jen and Dmitri – It was an absolutely beautiful day with you! Thank you for choosing me to be your wedding photographer!

You’d never know they were freezing given the warmth between them in these photos… ;)

I’ve known Shira since I was about 14 which made this session even more special for me – I can’t wait to be there with her and Micha as they take their vows this July!

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! :)

Children could be heard playing in the fountains of Queen Elizabeth park and guests mingled outside the Celebration Pavilion waiting to witness love and destiny unfold before them. It was the day Emily and Matt got married.

* * * *

I managed to take these portraits in the few minutes before Emily was to walk down the aisle. She couldn’t have been more stunning!

I think I have a crush on her shoes…

does anyone else’s heart skip a beat when the bride walks down the aisle? It happens to me everytime… Emily was no exception. :)

A little groom action for you… :)

our next stop was Brix – amazing restaurant and reception venue for the evening. We just needed to get Emily’s evening look done, so we ducked into a driveway so no guests could see us. :)

Emily the cameo model

WAIT! Emily’s having her hair done… that means I can take another gratuitous shoe shot right? Sweet!
