Caroline and Ryan chose Villa Marco Polo Inn for their wedding ceremony and the Brentwood Bay Resort for the reception. Ryan and his friends got ready at the classic Empress Hotel and Caroline at Brentwood Bay Resort. A tad bit of driving here and there but was lucky with parking spots. And the very talented Jenny from Pacific Make Up Group did the makeup. The sun this summer is relentless, sharp as a butchers’ knife. Not a cloud of forgiveness… and I’m certainly not a fan of flash if I can avoid it. Available light is simply beautiful on it’s own. So in post I rekindled with the image wash technique to ease some of the hot spots and it’s been fun! Just a few images here and there to add some visual variety doesn’t hurt. Caroline and Ryan were a pleasure to photograph, always giggling and playful!

Katherine and Steven chose Cecil Green Park House on the UBC grounds as their venue of choice for both their ceremony and reception. It’s wonderful when most events are contained in one area! Steven arrived on a horse in full RCMP uniform. Would have loved to include many other images but was asked to not reveal any of the RCMP officers in images which is most understandable. Steven and Katherine were mostly interested in doing unconventional shots which was a pleasure to comply!

Karen and Stacy opted for a beautiful backyard wedding in Cordova Bay. The June sun was relentless that day and I was truly grateful to be photographing their ceremony under a gigantic white canvas tent where the light was pleasant. My favorite location on their property was their stables, there I could have shot for hours! The food menu was catered by the famous Pete Zambris accompanied with Truffles Catering. Delicious! The beautiful flowers were created by Verbena Flowers and the creative and hard working wedding planner was Christine Smart. The day went flawless!

Saphina and Andrew chose Brentwood Bay Resort as their venue of choice. A wonderful venue where wine and dine is key! Saphina and the pool environment reminded me of the famous photographers’ work of Helmut Newton. From a technical point of view it would have taken 5 assistants with reflectors to achieve Helmut’s lighting technique. I’m humbled Helmut! Wishing you guys the very best and Saphina and Andrew, you ROCK!

Natalie and Graeme chose Church and State Winery as their venue of choice which is a wonderful place to be wedded. After their ceremony the couple surprised everyone by dancing down the Isle along with their wedding party. Natalie and Graeme along with their wedding party were a joy to photograph!
