Jamie & Jared: Wedding

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

Something so beautiful about winter weddings. Especially Jared and Jamie’s! Such love and beauty inside and outside of these two. The perfect match.

Most weddings I have a second shooter… this wedding I had a third! Oh snap! Loved it. Seeing as the sun was setting at 4:14 on this beautiful winter day, with three shooters we were able to get the portraits done before dark. Thanks Jason & Amy!

Jamie’s grandpa walked her down the aisle. So sweet.

At the end of the ceremony, they surrounded the couple with prayer and blessings.

The sun was quickly falling out of the sky. Good thing these two are photogenic! Go, go, GO!

The gorgeous ladies…

Handsome lads….

And then time for just J&J. Lovely moment captured by Amy.

This next one is from Amy as well…

Jamie & Jared, I love your love.

Kevin & Sara: Wedding

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

On September 17th, I shot my last wedding before the baby comes. Sara and Kevin didn’t seem to mind me walking a little slower than normal… and likely with a waddle… nor did they mind the multiple pee breaks. In fact, Kevin even bought me a snack a *bucks – SCORE! Never knew their rice krispie squares could be so delicious! Thanks Kev!

Sara got ready at the Sutton Place Hotel in Vancouver with her mom and her sister.

Then we jetted out for some portraits. We stopped at a few different locations, but we started in Gastown…

Isn’t Vancouver beautiful?

The Ceremony and Reception was held at the Teahouse in Stanley Park.

After the ceremony, they had a cocktail hour as the sun set. The appys were amazing… trust me.

Then we headed inside for the reception. The decor was done beautifully!

Sara and Kevin, congratulations on your marriage! Loved being apart of your day!

Khalid & Shahana: Wedding Part 2

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

Incase you missed it, you can see Part 1 of Shahana & Khalid’s wedding day HERE.

After the ceremony and the first portrait session, S&K put on their second outfits of the day. Two outfits in one day. One more reason to be Indian (I’m compiling a list). I’m still drooling over Shahnana’s 2nd dress! Most everywhere you turn in Vancouver, you have a new place to shoot. To be a photographer here, only makes sense.

The reception was held at the Law Courts Inn Restaurant - gorgeous venue!

Shahana & Khalid, you are beautiful people inside and out. A pleasure to photograph, and an even bigger pleasure to know. Congratulations on your marriage. Here’s to growing grey together! Cheers!

Khalid & Shahana: Wedding Part 1

Monday, September 12th, 2011

The morning started with Shahana getting ready at Suman’s in Abbotsford.

She was given a lime with a pin in it and a dot behind her ear, to ward off the evil eye – which she explained to me, was to prevent others from being jealous of her on this day. Something I should likely have on a daily basis…. kidding.

The Ceremony was held at the Ismaili Jamatkhana. Seeing as my church meets in gym… this mosque was worlds away from my house of praise!!! You’ll see a photo near the end this post of the outside…. GORGEOUS!!!

Khalid’s mother washes their feet with holy water.

Traditionally, whomever smashes it first is the head of the household. I think I’d gain weight before my wedding to boost my chances…

The exit…

We spent some time around the courtyard of the mosque. So darn gorgeous. Them.. and the location.

Shahana & Khalid, part 2 is only days away!
