Melissa and Dave’s Cecil Green Wedding – July 17, 2009

Laura — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 18:25:28 +0000

What an awesome day we had with Melissa and Dave! Though it was hot – super hot – they were troopers and slugged it out through the Cecil Green grounds, Spanish Banks, and the UBC Rose Garden all for the perfect photo. Their ceremony and reception took place at Cecil Green Park House, a beautiful old mansion originally built way back in 1912. For the ceremony, Dave had written a song for Melissa and sang it while playing his guitar as she walked down the aisle – seriously, there wasn’t a dry eye anywhere! It was an incredibly touching moment and gave everyone a real sense of how much these two are truly in love. After the ceremomy, officiated by the wonderful Ray Soden, we started the photo session with the bridal party around Cecil Green. The bridesmaids really rocked it – Melissa gave them a colour and they picked their own dresses and accessories, and so each outfit really represented the wearer – I love that! After some photos with the bridal party, we went off with Melissa and Dave in their own vintage car (rented especially for them on their big day) to Spanish Banks and then onwards to the UBC Rose Garden for some more photo time – I think we came up with some really creative and romantic shots! We had a great time photographing Melissa and Dave, and we wish them all the best!

Jessica and Keith’s Vancouver Golf Club Wedding – July 4, 2009

Laura — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 00:30:36 +0000

Jessica and Keith were married on the Vancouver Golf Club patio, overlooking the beautiful greenery and cityscape. Although it was a spectacular view, it didn’t compete with the smiles these two had on permanently throughout the ceremony and the entire day! They were married by the always lovely Ray Soden, while their bridal part of ten looked on. After the ceremony, we travelled to Deer Lake for the photo session, then on a friend’s garden for more photos and a champagne toast. I have to say I was impressed by the bridal party – they had a lot of energy (particularly the ladies), and they were fully committed to having a fun day – I love that! The reception that followed was filled with great food, warm speeches, a few tears, and lots of laughs. Thanks to Jessica and Keith for having us with you!
