Jessica and Peter - engagement

Jessica and Peter are getting married next July at the UBC Boathouse and for a different kind of look they thought they would do their engagement shoot in the City.  We started at Coal Harbour and then headed into Stanley Park for some lush Fall green.  Here are a few shots of this lovely couple....

Here is their dog Layla - she was so well behaved!

Looking forward to your wedding next July!

Jessica and James - July 26, 2009

Part 2 of our busy weekend was something quite unique and extremely cool.  Jessica and James met while hiking and it is a love they both share.  They decided to get married up on the mountain overlooking the Tantalus Glacier.  We went up the mountain by helicopter - many thanks to Black Tusk Helicopters for the great service and safe ride!

Here's our beautiful bride before the flight....

BEST aisle walk EVER!

Jessica and James during the ceremony....what a backdrop!

Group shot of friends and family.....

LOVE this one of Jessica!

Maid of Honor Jocelyn is a great hiking friend and although the ladies wore heels for the ceremony, they did bring their boots....

There were spectacular views all around.....

This one shows the Glacier behind them....what an awesome setting...

Sweet....

For the last flight down I got the pilot to lift off and fly around Jessica and James so we could get a picture of the vastness of the landscape....

We did go back down to pick them up....

The pilot took us a more scenic way down and it was so beautiful. I had my camera out of the window and just kept shooting!

After we landed we headed back to the Vancouver Rowing Club for their reception.  I took advantage of the evening light to get a few more photos on the dock...

James made a great speech and presented a beautiful bunch of flowers to his new wife....

Here is Jessica's reaction....

To get everyone on the dance floor, Jessica and James had a friend call out some Scottish dances.  It was so cool to watch.  Arms and legs moving all over the place...

All the best Jessica and James!  Your wedding was spectacular!

Trent & Brent - June 15, 2009

I was very privileged to be asked to photograph Trent and Brent's wedding which was a small, intimate gathering of close friends and relatives.  Trent's family traveled from the States to be with him and support him on his wedding day.

We met the guys in their apartment just before the ceremony and we got a few quick touching up shots.

Then it was a short walk through the West End to the Coast Plaza Hotel with some casual photo ops along the way....

I love this one Susannah took as they were walking....

The ceremony site was outside on the Hotel Garden patio and was lovely.  Luckily the sun stayed out for us...

Then we popped across to the Rose Garden in Stanley Park for family photos.  Here's the whole gang.

The guests then went back to the Hotel while we wandered around the Park, stopping at various points along the way.  Here are a few of my favs.....

I could have photographed these two all day!

Congratulations Trent and Brent and best wishes for your future together.

Linh & Nathan's E-shoot

Today I met up with Linh and Nathan to do some engagement pictures before their wedding in a couple of weeks time. We drove down to Stanley Park which was more packed than I'd ever seen it before! I think half of Vancouver was there!!

We managed to find a couple of spots for photos....

And then we headed off to the much less crowded Crab Park to cool off in the water....

These guys make a really nice couple!

Looking forward to your wedding next month!
