Dan Fontaine Photography - The Blog

Hi there and welcome to my blog.  My name is Dan Fontaine and I am a wedding photographer based in Vancouver, British Columbia.  With the help of my beautiful wife Steph we serve the needs of wedding couples all over the lower mainland with our unique combination of photography and make-up.  This is the place where you can check out my latest work and get an idea for my relaxed and fun style of shooting.  I will also post the odd movie review, rant or rave and a few favourite personal photo's.  If you are a perspective client take a while to search through the posts and use this as an information source to get ideas about your own wedding or portrait shoot.  Friends, family and past clients can check this blog to see what we are currently up to and check out favourite posts.  If you or anyone you know is looking at a date in the 2008 wedding year feel free to call us as we are booking up fast especially for those coveted summer Saturdays.  Thanks for checking us out we truly appreciate it.

I love this shot of them in the limo.  These two were just glowing all day, they couldn't stop looking at each other.

Great series here.  These two are big hockey fans,  Sarah for the Canucks and Seb for the Sharks.  For the first dance they came out to the hockey night in Canada theme song, dropped the gloves and duked it out and then broke into a great thrilller dance.  Hilarious.

We also had the pleasure of working with one of our favourite DJ's Ryan Brendzy at Groovin N' Movin DJ Services.  This guy knows how to keep the dance floor packed and the party going all night long......

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day Mum, you're the best.  Love you lots.  This shot from Korea brings back some good memories.   I wonder where our next adventure will take us.

Granville Island Engagement Session - Jocelyn and Gabe

I love shooting at Granville Island and apparently it is one of Gabe's favourite places in Vancouver.  These two were so much fun they just couldn't stop laughing the whole time.

You may have seen this walkway before, I just love they way it looks in pictures.

Cherry blossoms in full bloom look great, too bad they are only around for a few weeks.  BTW I got really muddy taking these shots.

Teddy's Baby Pictures

Teddy's super cute baby shoot turned into a great family session.  We got some amazing images of Chloe and a few of mom and dad as well.  I hope you enjoy these images as much as I liked taking them.

The timeless look of black and white really works for babies.
