Danielle + Erik

I’m convinced that everything comes full circle.  This was evident in so many different ways on this beautiful spring day.  Danielle & Erik met at a bar that neither of them were supposed to be at.  It was random, but looking back now makes me wonder…..was it fate?  Spending the day with them hammered in that theory.  The smiles and looks I captured had more meaning than usual.  I share a few links to both families without even realizing and this made the wedding day that much more special.  We chatted a few days prior to the wedding and hoped for some greenery and summer weather, as it was cold and gloomy.  Spring kicked in two days prior to the wedding and everything was blooming.  It was a perfect!

Huge shout outs to the bridal party for one of the best Hora’s I’ve seen to date.  I swear Erik almost touched the ceiling a few times.  He actually flew out of reach of my wide angle lens.  Danielle & Erik, I couldn’t have been more thrilled to be a part of your special day.  There’s something extra special about both of you and it was evident throughout the day and our engagement shoot.  I couldn’t have been happier with the pictures as you guys made it easy to capture priceless moments.

The day couldn’t have been made possible without the wonderful work of Helen Yack, great to work with you.   Had a blast spending the day with the ultra talented TVE productions.  Vince, Roberto and Sonia we MUST do this again very soon.  Raviv from FOS decor made sure the room looked spectacular.  Last but not least, the party was crazy and much of that credit goes to Jet Entertainment.

Thanks always for stopping by,

Cheers

Stephanie + Ben

I was absolutely floored at the idea of doing something like this.  I’m guilty of being the type of person that doesn’t usually get excited about things until the last second (getting excited for trips once I’m at the airport).  Upon confirmation, I was instantly glued to my computer researching locations as it would be my first time in Vancouver.

Above all, my excitement level was elevated by my couple’s enthusiasm.  Stephanie was all smiles and Ben was an awesome Vancouver tour guide.  We managed to see so much in such a short period of time.  I’m glad that I got to see Vancouver’s beauty first hand and realize that we barely scratched the surface .  It was incredibly tough to pick out locations with the limited we had, but I was more than happy to wake up at 5am.  Being on Toronto time made that very easy for me, Stephanie and Ben would have to settle for some good ol’  Tim Horton’s coffee, and they were great sports about this.  My favourite part by far was the early morning drive out into the mountains along the coast OR the beautiful forest with the massive trees and glacier water coming down from the top of the mountain.

Stephanie & Ben, I really can’t thank you guys enough for this.  Although time flew by so quickly, I’m thrilled with the pictures and I’ve got many more coming your way.

Thanks always for coming by,

Cheers

Jayme + Stephen

Finally had some time to catch up on some much needed blogging.  It’s been an interesting winter and seeing these pictures brings me right back to the almost forgotten summer weather.

It was one of those unbelievably beautiful summer days.  I should also mention that the Liberty Grand is one of my favourite venues.  To top that we were given an opportunity to roam the Ex with our own private chauffeured golf cart…..who could say no to that?  Especially with a couple that was so willing to have fun.

There was something so very special about this wedding.  Everyone was excited and taking every possible second in.  I was greeted with nothing but the best smiles, coming from the warmest people.  I was thrilled with every single picture. Jayme and Stephen, you guys are so lucky to have such wonderful people in your lives and they’ve obviously rubbed off on you.

Sarah Cherry you were unbelievable, the second you showed up I knew I could take a huge deep breath and watch the day go down without a hitch.  Susanne from Wildflowers is one of the sweetest people I know in the industry and she did such a great job with the decor.  It’s always a huge pleasure to work with Josh Israel from Video by Josh, we make a great team.  Leading the party was the always energetic Tryst from the Rhythm Kings.  Last but not least, Jenn from the Liberty Grand for being so helpful with everyone of our requests.

Cheers and thanks always for coming by,

Lindsay + Daniel

It’s been a long time waiting for this wedding.  I’m still shocked at our luck for the engagement shoot (seen here) and I knew that we’d need something very special in order to top that.  Thankfully we had a great team with us at the Park Hyatt and were able to get some unbelievable shots.  Please note, the weather dipped to -10 and I gave Lindsay and Daniel the choice of staying indoors yet they chose to tough it out.  Can’t thank you enough for being so willing to accommodate my crazy photo ideas even in these frigid temps.

To that special couple that tied the knot, I could go on and on about how much I loved taking pictures at your wedding.  Witnessing and capturing such priceless moments again reminded me why I adore this job so much.  It’s a day you’ll be reliving for a very long time and I’m glad you chose me to be a part of it.  Mazel Tov.

Shout outs go to the amazing Danielle for doing your thing.  Sarah Cherry from Cherry and Baker event planners for going above and beyond and making sure everything went down smoothly.  Jesse from Big Ticket Productions, great working with you.  Lastly, for The Park Hyatt for letting us roam the building and take some awesome pictures.

Thanks always for coming by,

Cheers,
