UBC Boathouse Wedding - Carol Ann and Shaun

Carol Ann and Shaun were officially married last year in a small ceremony on the islands.  This spring they decided to have a big ol' party at the UBC Boathouse so all their friends and family could celebrate there big day.  Let me assure you, just because they were already married that didn't stop Carol Ann form having two dresses, a monster party and and the wickedly raunchy Brent Lee band.

So there is a funny little background story on how we became their photographers.  As many of their friends know Carol Ann is a complete wedding buff and pretty much organized everything herself.  She ended up basically booking me while Shaun was away on business.  Well it turns out that I know Shaun from way back in elementary school, we even went to beavers together.  This is how I looked back then.

I know, I know I was pretty cool and unfortunately I don't have a picture of Shaun in his sexy scarf.

Well it turns out that not only do I know Sean but that Carol Ann is a wedding photographer as well.  It's pretty cool when someone who knows the craft and really appreciates pictures decides to choose you as their wedding photographer.

Carola Ann and Shaun decided to get ready for their wedding at The River Rock Casino where we got some great shots of the two of them before the ceremony.  The first few are of Carol Ann chilling out and looking hot.

Notice the cowboy boots.

If this shot looks familiar it is because it's a crop of the shot above.

This shot was totally not posed.  She really was just checking out her flowers while we waited for the elevator.

Love this shot of the two of them.

Just imagine him with a brown beavers hat and a blue scarf.

They arrived in style at the UBC Boathouse.

How cute is this little guy.  He was all over the dance floor.

Sweet cake.

As the party was rockin I grabbed then for just a few minutes to get some great sunset shots.

With off camera flash.

Without flash.  Okay the sky wasn't really pink but it makes for a romantic shot.

Love this shot.  The leading lines are out of this world.

One last shot of the party in full swing.

We had a great time at your wedding and wish you guys all the best.

Queen Elizabeth Park Photos - Dave and Yvonne

We started Dave and Yvonne's engagement session at a park with their super cute Schnauzer and then headed to Queen Elizabeth Park for some more fun shots of the two of them.

Let's start with my fav of the day

Fun, Fun, Fun. I always try to capture the romance during my shoots but these  guys were so much fun they couldn't stop giggling and laughing.

Almost a kiss but she Yvonne couldn't hold it together.

Success.

Love these massive trees.

We had a great time and can't wait to capture their wedding day.

Stanley Park Engagement Shoot - Laura and Pavel

Remember that Saturday a few weeks back when it was really hot, basically the first really nice day this year.  Well that is the day we had arranged to shoot Laura and Pavel's e-session at Stanley Park.  It was nuts, there was no parking and we had to just leave the car running blast out and shoot a few quick shots.  We eventually found parking and I dragged these guys all over Stanley Park.   Usually my engagement sessions last 45 min to an hour, these guys were troopers and toughed it out on a really hot and busy day.  I do think we got a lot of great shots though, here are some of my favs.

I really couldn't tell which image was my favourite from this shoot I had so many.  Which image is your favourite?

Furry Creek Wedding - Maegan and Kris

Maegan and Kris were married at the beautiful Furry Creek Golf and Country Club on the sea to sky highway.  Here are a few of my favourites from the day.

A detail shot of the stunning dress.

Maegan before the ceremony, which do you like better?

Help with the dress.

Kris and the boys.

Formals can be boring for kids so we made it a little more fun.

Wow, sexy couple.

Over looking Howe Sound just before sunset.

I love this shot, it was starting to drizzle and they were ready to get to the party.

Nice cake.

The rings.

There were some very funny speeches, lots of laughs and maybe a few tears.

Kids having fun.

Thumbs up.

One last casual portrait.

Thanks a lot to Maegan and Kris for inviting us to be a part of their beautiful wedding.

Cute kids

Some friends of mine were looking for some great shots of their kids and we had a little photo session a few weeks back.  I thought I would post a few of my faves from the day.

A great shot of bro and sis.

How cute are they, looks like the colour pink is still king.
