Despite such a busy wedding season this year I am still finding time to photograph Bellies and Babies.

Here is a preview for Alaina and Ray. These two were so much fun to work with plus Alaina is probably one of the most gorgeous pregnant women I have ever photographed.

You guys are going to make fabulous parents and I wish you all the best for this new phase of your lives together! xox

You may remember adorable Amy and Curtis from their E Session earlier this year. Having already photographed them and seen their fun-loving personalities I knew we were going to have a fantastic day and was not disappointed! Everything about their day was fabulous from the Planning (Elana at Sweet Beginnings) and Videography (Marliss Productions) to the venues (Knox United and Grouse Mountain) and cake (Cupcakes). Even the weather was amazing, and then… Curtis’ Mum totally made Amy’s day by showing up as a surprise at our photoshoot with FurBaby, Abby, complete with pink bows in her fur!

Congratulations to one of the sweetest couples I have ever had the pleasure to work with! I wish you both all the best in everything life has to offer… hugs! xox

After the craziness of most of August with a couple of 3 wedding weekends I was thrilled to have just one wedding on the long weekend. Melissa and Randy were married up at beautiful Westwood Plateau with a romantic, outdoor ceremony with adorable 20 month old son, Zachary, as the ring bearer. Melissa used the always amazing Elana Lancit from Sweet Beginnings for decor and the room looked fabulous in hot pink and white.

Melissa and Randy you are absolute sweethearts. It was awesome to work with you both and I wish you and your growing family all the best in your new life together! xox

You would kinda think that if you book your wedding in the middle of summer you would get sunshine….or at least the sun peeking out from behind some clouds, or even just cloudy but warm weather. Well, we live in Vancouver, and it’s a rain forest, and….anything seems to go here these days, weather wise. So after my August 23rd wedding where we were on the beach with sunshine and blue skies, I was a little in denial for the Weather Network’s forecast of 100% rain for Sunday, but still prepared for it in the back of my mind. And sure enough I woke up to another summer day that looked like it had been shipped, Express Service (of course), right out of November.

OK…so I know you are all dying to see Witty and Udo’s pics, but before I put them up I am going to tell you why it is lucky to have rain on your wedding day. Brides think that is something that Photographers tell them to make them feel better, but there is actually a bit of interesting history behind it all.

Back in the old days where getting married was referred to as “Tying the Knot” the superstition went that if it rained on your wedding day it was lucky because a wet knot was harder to undo than a dry one. Hence your marriage would be stronger and less likely to come undone. So, Witty and Udo…with the amount it rained on your wedding day, looks like your marriage is going to last into eternity!

And it’s true, Photographers do like rainy or cloudy days since light is more even and diffused and easier to work with at any angle.

Having worked as a Wedding Planner herself, Witty brought in an all star line up of vendors to ensure her day went beautifully: Brent Sheppard performed the ceremony at the Celebration Pavillion in Queen Elizabeth Gardens, Rob and Andrea from Lotus Events were on hand to ensure everything ran smoothly, A Stylish Arrival drove Witty to the ceremony and then the bridal party on to photo locations and up to Grouse Mountain for the reception and Jeanette from DeLovely created the fabulous bouquets and reception decor.

After dinner Witty changed into a traditional Cheongsam in honour of her heritage. This was the dress that her Mum wore for her wedding.

And now, without further delay…Witty and Udo’s preview!

Diane and Chris are one of the sweetest couples I have had the pleasure of working with this year. They have wonderful personalities, but I think the best thing about them is their smiles! Seriously, these two laughed and smiled throughout the whole day with the brightest most infectious smiles and laughs you can imagine. Add into the equation that they are both gorgeous and had an awesome bridal party to boot and you can see why I still love photographing weddings after 8 years! This day was a dream, especially as the weather held out for some super beach pics. Jeanette from Delovely Creative was responsible for the fabulous bouquets and awesome decor at University Golf Club.

I hope you are checking the blog from Paris, Diane and Chris. There’s only so much room here for me to post a preview for you, and I can’t wait to show you all the pictures. xox
