Janna & Neel - E. Session

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

What a fabulous E. Session with Janna and Neel in Steveston this afternoon! We took a ton of cool and fun pictures and at the same time got to know each other so much better. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…. an E. Session with your Photographer is such a great way to build the ultimate comfort level to ensure fabulous pictures on your big day as well as creating a fun and memorable record of you before you were actually married!

Janna & Neel  I am sooo excited for your Big Day at Brock House in September…enjoy your “Sneak Peek”!

Lisa & Chris - July 17th, 2010

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Yesterday was just a perfect day! I was excited to head out to North Vancouver to photograph Lisa and Chris’s wedding at the new Pinnacle Hotel. We started off with some details and Lisa getting ready and by the time she was ready to meet Chris she looked truly stunning in a dress and jewellery from Isabelle’s Bridal.

The “First Look” took place on the ballroom floor with Chris looking handsome and waiting nervously for his bride. Lisa arrived in the elevator and as soon as they saw each other I think most of the nerves disappeared. Then it was time for photos and this was so much fun with Lisa being up for pretty much anything.

Samantha Berry from Dreamgroup did a fabulous job of keeping everything perfectly on time and Hot Wax DJ had the best tunes going all evening….so great to work with so many awesome industry people in one day.

Before they knew it, it was time to get married and they exchanged vows infront of family and friends in the ballroom that had been beautifully decorated by Denise Halfyard of Halfyard Designs.  Then it was time for dinner, dancing, more photos and before I knew it I was headed home and excited to download the cards.

Congratulations Lisa & Chris! What a beautiful day!

Erin’s Family 2010

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

I’ve been photographing Erin’s family for the last 5 years when Finn was just 1 and Macey and Tilly were not around yet. Since they all live in New Zealand it’s extra special for me that a big part of their annual visit back to Canada is a photo session, so of course I was thrilled to receive an email from Erin a couple of weeks ago to let me know they would be in town. We met up last Thursday for an awesome session at the park.

Erin and Rod it was so great to see you and the children again….wonderful to see them growing up. Thanks once again for trusting me with your family memories!

Erin & Ferd - July 3rd, 2010

Monday, July 5th, 2010

High School Sweethearts, fabulous venues, one of the best bridal parties ever and the cutest flower girls…..I have the best job in the world!

After an awesome E. Session  back in May, I couldn’t wait for this wedding day. It was a whirlwind of excitement with Erin and the girls getting ready at Terminal City Club and off to Holy Rosary Cathedral for the most beautiful ceremony. Father Dion has known these two since high school and shared some lovely stories during his homilie. The bridal party totally rocked the photo session and then it was back to the hockey-themed reception at Terminal City. The guests were already going crazy waving the towels the couple gave as favours, but when Ferd skated into the room on rollerblades the crowd went nuts!

The whole day was a blast and I would like to thank Erin and Ferd once again for trusting me their once in a lifetime memories. You guys are the best and I hope you have the most fabulous time in Europe. xox
