Steveston Engagement Session – Carly and Daniel

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!

Executive Plaza Hotel Richmond Wedding – Pamela and Toby

Pam and Toby are two of the most easy-going, cheerful people you could hope to meet, which turned out to be a good thing because Mother Nature gave them some liquid sunshine on their big day! Fortunately, we found some great partially covered photo locations, which allowed us to duck in and out of the rain as needed. The beautiful ceremony at St. Paul’s Church in Richmond was followed by a fun reception at the Executive Plaza Hotel, also in Richmond. The reception was full of lively entertainment, including a violin performance by Pam’s little 8-year-old niece. When the dance music started, the floor became packed – I love it when everyone gets into the dancing and cuts loose! Last but most definitely not least, it was great to see past clients Kathy and Dave again, who referred Pam and Toby to me – you can see them getting their dance on in the top right dance photo below!:)

Performance Works Wedding – Alana and David

Not only did Alana wear a birdcage veil, which I adore, but her colour scheme of pewter and yellow was modern and bold and worked perfectly with their chosen venue, Performance Works. Although the weather looked a little iffy at the start, the rain held off for their beautiful ceremony in the park at Granville Island, followed by a fun photo session. The evening reception at Performance works was filled with touching speeches and music by David’s Latin band, inspiring guests to party into the night!

Granville Island Engagement Session – Natalie and Daniel

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

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!
