I know, I know, this is really late to post a wedding from September but here it is. I was late with editing because of my fall portrait season. Thank you for being so patient with me, Jessica and Matt. Here are just a few favorites from a great fall wedding day.
I am slowly catching up to my August weddings. Thank you to all my couples for being so patient waiting for their images to be processed.
Jac-Lyn and Max tied their knot during a Jewish ceremony at the UVic chappel. The reception was held at the Uplands Golfcourse, beautifully decorated by Barbara Hastings McLeod and Sarah Richey of Sweet Beginnings. Jac-Lyn was a striking bride and Max equally handsome. Congratulations, Jac-Lyn and Max!
Back to back weddings this weekend. Here are two images from my first wedding. More to come soon.
Sarah and Brad came all the way from Australia to share their special day with friends and family. Congratulations, Sarah and Brad and thank you for letting us be a part of your celebration.
A glorious day for a wedding yesterday. Here is just one favorite, please check back for more soon.
Kanako and Steve tied their knot at the Hycroft Manor in Vancouver. An absolutely stunning building with beautiful rooms, spectacular columns and a lovely backyard. As I don't know Vancouver that well, I was very grateful for Kanako's and Steve's driver who showed us to a variety of different locations. We had a busy afternoon and lots of fun. Congratulations, Kanako and Steve!
I spent part of the long weekend shooting Kanako and Steve's wedding in Vancouver. Lots more to come.
Amanda and Richard tied their knot at Butcharts Gardens. A lovely ceremony in the winter garden with close friends and family. We even lucked out and had some March sunshine for some outdoor pictures. Congratulations, Amanda and Richard!
My head is still buzzing from yesterday. It was such a great experience that I will participate in the exhibition again next year. We had so much fun chatting with brides, grooms and mothers of the brides.
I am participating in the Victoria Bridal Exhibition at Pearkes Recreation Centre this Sunday from 10am to 5pm. If you already booked me as your photographer you might still want to come out. Fashion shows, bridal workshops, and grand prize passports, are just a few of the events that will be showcased during the Exhibition. Hope to see you there.
Alison and Malcolm tied their knot just before the year was out. The ceremony took place at St. Anns and we had to be inventive for bridal party and couple shots. We took some at Craigdarroch Castle outside. The high winds and rain made it almost impossible to take any decent pictures but the nice people from Craigdarroch asked us inside to do some shooting in the castle. Alison had also booked The Earle Clarke House where we took the family and bridal party pictures. Here are a few favorites. Congratulations, Alison and Malcolm.
Robin and Dave tied their knot at the Olympic View Golf Club. We had a typical West Coast November day with lots of gray all around us but that couldn't stop anyone from joining in to this wonderful celebration. The decor was beautifully done by Details Special Event Planning and Decor. Thank you Robin and Dave for letting us be a part of your day. Congratulations!
I am so lucky to meet all these really nice and easy going people. We picked the first stormy fall day of the year. It was pouring rain and so windy that we had to take the formal pictures inside. The staff from the Marriott Hotel were amazing and let us use their lounge on the 16th floor. When the rain eased off we were all brave enough to go outside and take some pictures at the Parliamentary Building, the Goverment House and we even had a little time to make it downtown. Congratulations, Denise and Phil.
Genn and Jeff tied their knot at Holland Point on Dallas Road. We took more pictures along the Dallas Road water front and then downtown. Their reception was at Bear Mountain. Their day flew by because we had so much fun following them around. Congratulations, Genn and Jeff!
Still working on all the amazing images from this wedding. Here is just a little teaser. More to come soon.
Rebecca and Godric picked the most popular wedding date this year: 08/08/08. The number 8 is considered lucky in the Chinese culture. Their day was filled with lots of traditional ceremonies which I enjoyed documenting. During the course of the day Rebecca changed from her stunning white gown into a beautiful red silk costume. I loved the colors and had fun combining them with some urban colors and textures. Here are some highlights from Rebecca and Godric's day.
Just a little teaser image of Rebecca and Godric's wedding last week. More to come soon.
When I met Kate and her mother back in spring and they told me about a small garden party, I was by no means prepared for what I walked into on the actual wedding day. Everything was so glamorous, it felt like a movie set. David Feys from Feys+Hobbs planned and catered the event. The tent was absolutely stunning. The beautiful bouquets were arranged by Vanessa and Jenny from Verbana Floral Design. Congratulations and thanks so much for letting us be a part of your special day, Kate and Kris.
And here are a few venue and flower details.
Natalie and Brett tied their knot at the Grouse Nest Resort in Sooke. Natalie looked absolutely stunning and Brett equally handsome. We had a little bit of rain toward dinner time but that couldn't stop anybody from celebrating. Congratulations, Natalie and Brett.
Still editing. Just a little teaser image. More later. Gotta run to another wedding now. Great day for it.
I am a little late posting these wedding images because of birthdays and visitors from Germany. Sara and Chris celebrated their wedding at the Fuse Waterfront Grill in Sooke. We had a great time documenting their day. Here are a few of my favorites. Congratulations, Sara and Chris.
It was a pleasure to document Connie and Keith's wedding day. They picked a wonderful place for their ceremony, the Fairholme Manor off Rockland Road. Paula Sauve from Details took care of all the wonderful decor on the venue. As a surprise, Connie and Keith released doves. A wonderful touch to the ceremony. Everything was perfect including the weather. Congratulations, Connie and Keith.
The beautiful bride.
The handsome groom.
Connie and her two beautiful teenage daughters.
Here is a little collage I put together from my wedding this weekend. More to come soon.
My first wedding of this year. Cynthia and Kyle and their bridal party were great to work with. It was cold out, but everyone was so brave to face the rain and the cool temperatures. At least we didn't have a storm.
The ceremony was at St. Andrew's Cathedral.
I loved the beautiful columns.
For formal and bridal pictures we went to the Parliamentary Building, just in case it rained. And so it did.
The little flower girl was too cute and she did really well in the cold weather.
After about an hour outside we all needed to warm up and went to the Empress for some indoor pictures.
Congratulations, Cynthia and Kyle. I hope you had a wonderful honeymoon somewhere nice and warm.
Congratulations, Louisa and Grant. Louisa and the girls were stunning and Grant and the boys equally handsome. We had an amazing fall day with a few drops in between but when we hit the beach, the sky was deep blue. So many great images to share, here are just a few of my favorites.
The happy couple leaving the church.
I have been slacking off in posting images lately. Sorry everybody, but I have been busy packaging all my weddings from August and September. Here is one image from yesterday's wedding. More to follow in a couple of days.
When I did Tara and Steve's engagement pictures I knew this wedding would be fun. And so it was. A grey labour day weekend but great energy throughout the afternoon. Here are a few favorites.
A different still life. Tara didn't feel so well before the ceremony.
A very excited groom.
