Paskeron - December 6, 2008

"Paskeron" is a combination of Julia and Brett's last names, and is a way they described their much anticipated wedding. Kerry Reid from Fairy Godmother Weddings was onboard for this one and both Kerry and myself were totally looking forward to working with Julia and Brett.

With Christmas just around the corner, it will be a little while until I complete their images, so I'm posting a few more photos than usual.....plus I couldn't decide!

Susannah and I started the day at the Sheraton catching the end of getting ready.  

Here's Julia looking gorgeous!

Julia changed in her room and then went back to be with her bridesmaids......

Here is their reaction on seeing her in her dress.....

Due to a nail crisis the girls were running a little behind so Brett and the guys had to wait.....

We had Julia come down the stairs behind Brett.  I think the anticipation just about killed poor Brett....

We took a few quick shots inside....

.....before braving the elements and heading outside.  It was raining and very cold so we headed under Burrard Bridge for some bridal party shots....

It was nearly dark and incredibly cold - the girls were so brave!

And the guys were fantastic in giving up their jackets...

It got dark really quick, but we got some cool shots of Julia and Brett using our new video light. I love the soft moody light it creates....

Then we headed back to the Sheraton to do some Christmas lights shots.  We had to hide from guest waiting for the party bus to take them to the ceremony site, so we had a little fun with the escalators.....

Before getting some shots outside....

Then it was off to Queen Elizabeth Park to the Celebration Pavilion where the lovely Karen Ell conducted a very fun ceremony...

Last stop was the ScotiaBank Dance Centre for the reception.  Hazel from Barwick Designs did a fantastic job of decorating and the room looked awesome!

Brett's surprise for Julia was to have it snow during their first dance.....sweeet!

Julia and Brett celebrated 8 years together on their wedding day.  You guys are super and we wish you many many more years of happiness.

Merry Christmas!
