Melanie & Matti - May 23, 09

Melanie and Matti had a beautiful day for their wedding.  We met up with them at Park & Tilford in North Van.

Here's Melanie looking radiant....

Melanie's lovely sisters were her bridesmaids....

I had the girls on one side of the park while Susannah was with Matti and his groomsmen on the other side....

We arranged for Melanie to come up behind Matti for their "first look" before the ceremony....

We did a few more quick shots around the gardens.  This area was just gorgeous....

Then it was time to head to the ceremony site, with a quick stop at the railway tracks along the way....

I love this one.....

The ceremony was held at the Eagle Harbour Yacht Club in West Vancouver out on the deck.....

After the ceremony we did a few more shots around the Club, on the beach and lastly on the dock.....here's one of my favourites of Melanie..... 

And a closer one of the two of them....

Then it was back to the Club to enjoy the reception - what a great location!

Congratulations Melanie and Matti and all the best for the future!

Matalin

I met Linh and Matt when they came in for a maternity shoot in March.  This week I got to meet little Matalin (a nice combo of their names) at just 9 days old.

She was so quiet.....totally chilled out.

The family....

Matt had these "Dude" hats so we just had to get a shot of them all together....

Great to see you again and to meet your little one!

Annu & Steve - May 3, 09

Annu & Steve were married at the beautiful Swan-e-set Resort and Country Club.

Rain was forecast but Sunday was amazingly clear so the ceremony was held outside as planned.

I started the day with Annu at her apartment although she waited until she got to Swan-e-set to put her dress on.  This is one of my favourite lacing the dress shots - I just love all the hands and the henna.

Here's beautiful Annu....

Annu's Dad handing her to Steve - Steve's got such an intense look....

This one is right after the ceremony - their first moment together as husband and wife....

Awesome greens!

I loved the light in this one....

The scenery on the driveway at Swan-e-set is stunning and Annu is too...

My favourite intimate shot....

Before the reception they changed clothes.  We got a chance later in the evening to take a few quick shots....

And here's the first dance...

I had a hard time choosing what to post here as I had so many favourites.  

Annu and Steve, we had a great time working with you and wish you all the best in your future together.
