Christine & Andrew - September 5, 2009

Well the Labour Day long weekend is the last big weekend of the summer. This long weekend weather forecast? 100% rain, rain, rain. So, how surprised were we all to wake up on Saturday morning to find that we might be lucky and the rain might hold off? Very.....phew!

I caught up with the ladies at bridesmaid Julia's house in North Van, quite close to the venue. I had shot Julia and Evren's wedding in 2007 (was it really 2 years ago?) and it was great to see them again.  

Everyone was running around getting ready, but Christine seemed very calm and collected...

Here's Christine, ready to go...

Meanwhile, Andrew waiting at Canyon House at the Capilano Suspension Bridge, was getting some nerve calming help from his brother...

The guys, led by the Minister, having a final moment just before the ceremony...

Andrew's ring proved to be a bit stubborn...

After the ceremony we managed to clear the throngs of tourists from part of the bridge for a minute...

And did some shots in the forest...

Back at the reception there was singing....

...cupcakes....

...and some great speeches....

Here's our last shot of the night before the party continued on with dancing. Congratulations Christine and Andrew!

Chad & Sabrina - May 26, 2007

Chad and Sabrina came up to Vancouver from Seattle for their wedding on Saturday. They were married at the Canyon Lookout at the Capilano Suspension Bridge and had their reception across the road at Canyon House.

I met Chad and Sabrina in November, 2006 on one of their wedding planning trips up here. I was struck by how much in love they were, and also by Chad's fantastic sense of humour (his speech on Saturday was great!) and was looking forward to seeing them both again and working with them on their wedding day.

Here are some images of the day:

First we met up with the guys, looking very cool in their kilts and quickly becoming the focal point of tourist attention.

Next we joined the girls over at Canyon House and did some shots in the garden before heading over to the ceremony. Sabrina looked gorgeous!!!!

Earlier the Suspension Bridge had been jampacked, but we managed to clear it for a few minutes to get these shots (many thanks to all who waited patiently for us before crossing). The second bridge shot here is why I like having a second shooter - a different angle and a different perspective. Nice one Susannah!

I LOVE how these two are with each other!

Chad and Sabrina are heading off to New Zealand for their honeymoon and will be spending several days in Auckland, my hometown. I've recommended a few places to visit and look forward to hearing all about their trip when they get back.

Have a great time guys and thanks for letting me be a part of your big day!
