At Nevenka + Aleks’ wedding reception at the Dockside Lounge, they thanked eharmony.ca a few times for connecting them and facilitating the opportunity for their wedding day to happen. I’d like to thank eharmony.ca too for their eharmony wedding! Nevenka and Aleks really are a perfect match! It was truly our pleasure to capture their intimate wedding day here in Vancouver, on Granville Island. Being a smaller wedding, we really felt so welcomed by their friends and family and heard many lovely stories about them throughout the day. Some of my favourite moments of their day was watching Aleks’ mom lovingly prep all her grandchildren for the day, when Aleks’ parents saw Nevenka as a bride for the first time and of course, witnessing Nevenka and Aleks getting married by the sea.

Congratulations Nevenka + Aleks! 🙂

On one of the only rainy days this summer, Kris and Catherine were married. Some may say it was unfortunate, but we can definitely say that this wedding was not at all deterred by the rain one bit!! Catherine’s beautiful, big smile stayed with her all day and everyone was so incredibly happy to see these two get married, that there was just extreme happiness everywhere we looked! They got ready downtown at the lovely Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel and were married outside amongst umbrellas and raindrops on the dock at the UBC Boathouse.

His/Hers.

Justin and I are both primary photographers and have been photographing wedding for 15 years now. Wow, how time flies by!  We find it’s always so interesting to show our clients what either of them was up to in the moments before they were married. For every couple it’s always so unique as to how nervous or not at all, excited or calm they may be, and also who they have chosen to be there with them at this special and poignant time. Today, we thought we’d share a few with you from Kate and John’s wedding in the getting ready portion of their day. While Justin was with John and his groomsmen taking photos, I was with Kate at her mom’s house with her girlfriends, getting ready before their wedding ceremony.

John and his Mom sharing a really lovely hug. It’s one of Justin’s favourite photos of the day.

I love the way Justin photographed John reflected in the glass of this family heirloom. It’s a framed photograph of his grandfather in WWII and his maroon barret and a medal of honour.

An exciting and emotionally charged few minutes of adjustments with Kate and her bridesmaids, before their big reveal walking down the aisle.

When we can, we always like to choose meaningful photo locations for our couples, someplace they have a connection to. So when Elizabeth and Alfonso suggested just one spot, I knew it was going to have heaps of meaning for them! They chose New Brighton Park for their engagement photo session because it has special meeting to them as a couple and (this is so neat), they both played in this park as children, coming here with their families. And over all those years, they don’t believe they ever met! I just loved this story when they told us, thinking of the possibility that they may have met as kids, and if not back then, but that their paths were meant to cross as adults. We are looking forward to photographing their wedding this August.

    Beautiful pictures… beautiful couple… best wishes for a long and happy marriage!ReplyCancel

Mike lives in Seattle and Natasha lives here in Vancouver and they are always travelling back and forth over the border. So when she suggested having their engagement session at the Peach Arch Park, we just knew it was the absolute perfect place for it! Perfect!

The only thing was the weather!

It was a rain-on, rain-off again kinda day and we were all so close to changing the location, but in the end we kept our eagle eyes on all weather sources and decided there was a chance of dry weather, so we went for it! In the end our amateur meteorology skills came through and we had a fabulous 95% dry photo shoot! And a really, really fun time! Mike and Natasha have such a lovely ease about them and we really enjoyed capturing them being themselves: in-love, hanging out together being all cute and even goofy and silly too! We feel that we truly captured their personalities and we look forward to their wedding this August.
