Queen Elizabeth Park Engagement Session – Sarah and Jason

Laura — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:55:01 +0000

What a beautiful warm summer day we had for Sarah and Jason’s engagement session! We went to the ever-popular Queen Elizabeth Park, a location I love because no matter how many times I photograph there, I always find something new! I’ve been there so many times that I often get a request for the “bamboo shot” – there is a nice bamboo grove in the park and it works great for photos, so over the years I’ve photographed it many different ways with many different people – you can see Sarah and Jason’s very own bamboo shot below!

Granville Island Engagement Session – Krystal and Stephen

Laura — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 00:23:29 +0000

Krystal and Stephen have got to be two of the easiest people I have ever photographed! It seemed like being in front of the camera was totall natural for them, they were so photogenic! (I myself am extremely un-photogenic, and thus very jealous of their mysterious talent!) We had a great time walking around Granville Island, which I think was especially nice for Krystal and Stephen as they currently reside overseas and don’t get back home too often. I can’t wait for their big day next year!

Steveston Engagement Session – Carly and Daniel

Laura — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 00:00:13 +0000

Carly and Daniel were a delight to photograph! I had such a great time wandering all over Steveston with them, and was especially excited to finally have a chance to do some photos with the giant red wave sculpture in Garry Point Park! Although I’ve done many photo sessions in Steveston, it’s rare that I’ve ventured over to the park area, and I’m glad we did this time around!

Granville Island Engagement Session – Natalie and Daniel

Laura — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 02:51:32 +0000

I met up with Natalie and Daniel on a beautiful summer day at Granville Island, and had a wonderful evening photographing them in all the neat spots around the market. I love the colours and textures at Granville Island, and Natalie’s red top fit in perfectly with all the vibrancy. Daniel and Natalie are a super sweet couple who are so in love – you can see in their eyes how much they adore each other! Can’t wait for their big day in 2012!

Gastown Engagement Photos – Maren and Andrew

Laura — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:12:12 +0000

Maren and Andrew are a couple especially dear to my heart, as my sister has been friends with Maren for many years and they toured Europe together. So I was incredibly honoured and excited when they asked me to be their photographer! We had an awesome time wandering Gastown for funky photo locations, and as always the area did not disappoint! I especially loved the crazy graffiti mural we found – it was just bursting with colour!

New Westminster Engagement Session – Alana and David

Laura — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 18:54:06 +0000

In nine years of experience, I’ve shot pretty much everywhere in the Lower Mainland – but for some reason, I had not yet shot in the many back alleys and cute streets of New Westminster! So I was pleased when Alana and David chose this location, and even more pleased to have a beautiful sunny day for their engagement session! Alana and David are one of those couples that just work together – you can see the easy comfort they have around each other. They shared a lot of laughs together during our session, as well as some quieter, more intimate moments, and during all of it they were a joy to photograph. Thank you Alana and David for a great day – can’t wait to share your wedding here!

Richmond Couples Portraits – Laura and David (and Lucy!)

Laura — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 02:22:55 +0000

Laura has been my “little sister” for years now (she’s the best friend of my actual sister) so it was my honour to photograph her engagement session! Laura and David make an awesome couple – they have in common the same crazy sense of humour, as well as a kind demeanor and giving nature. We met in Steveston Village for a beautiful evening session, and Laura and David rocked it! Even their beloved French bulldog, Lucy, seemed to pose perfectly. Laura and David recently married in Mexico and I couldn’t be happier for them – congrats!

Vancouver Couples Portraits – Raman and Jazz

Laura — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 01:21:53 +0000

I loved photographing Raman and Jazz back in the fall, so I was delighted when they contacted me again for a spring session! Despite the rather blistering cold, this couple braved the elements all for the sake of cherry blossoms – lots and lots and lots of cherry blossoms! In fact, every single photo I took for their session had cherry blossoms somewhere! The cherry blossoms were indeed beautiful, and the lovely Raman and Jazz complimented their environment beautifully. I also love how they carefully coordinated their outfits for both sessions – so important for great photos and Raman and Jazz nailed it! Thanks for doing a session with me you two, looking forward to the next one!

Granville Island Engagement Portraits – Craig and Leigh

Laura — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 06:57:19 +0000

The sweet couple of Craig and Leigh are having their wedding in Leigh’s hometown in Tennessee, so they thought it fitting to do an engagement session in Craig’s hometown, Vancouver. On a blustery winter day we headed down to Granville Island, an iconic landmark which would beautifully showcase Vancouver to Leigh’s family back in Tennessee. I’ve shot around Granvillle Island many times, but each time I still manage to find new spots, and Craig and Leigh’s session was no exception – it was neat to explore this familiar landscape through the eyes of Leigh, who had never visited Granville Island before. I had a great time photographing this lovely couple, and wish them all the best in their life together in Tennessee!

Richmond Couples Portraits – Raman and Jazz

Laura — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 06:30:50 +0000

It had been a few years since Raman and Jazz got married, and they thought it was about time to get a new, updated couples portrait. In fact, Raman and Jazz want to do one for every season of the year – what a great idea! This particular session was for fall, and we went to Minoru Park to check out the golds and reds of autumn. I loved the red sweaters Raman and Jazz wore for their session – they really popped in the photos and went great with the fall colours! I can’t wait to see them both again in the spring – maybe they’ll wear pink to match the cherry blossoms?
