Christina & Phillip :: Granville Island, UBC Vancouver Wedding

The sun has finally returned to Vancouver and last week it made for a beautiful Saturday for Christina and Phillip to get married. The day began at the Chapel of the Epiphany at the University of British Columbia and ended at Hy’s Steakhouse, downtown Vancouver. In between we had good time exploring Granville Island as these two were up for anything.

This is Phillip as he and his crew waited to walk up to the altar.

These two were really up for anything. At this point, I suggested that we jump the railing (a crazy idea, really) so I could get a shot of them under the rocks. Christina instantly replied, “OK!”

And it was only after we took off that they mentioned Phillip wasn’t that fond of boats or the water. You could never tell…

Rena & Matthew :: Cypress Creek Wedding, Vancouver

What a beautiful day we had with Rena and Matthew covering their wedding on Cypress Creek! I knew we’d get along famously from our first meeting. Matthew and I talked shoes and tailors and we hit it off; he went to Northampton to get his Grensons and to Modernize Tailors in Vancouver for his gorgeous bespoke suit. Rena looked amazing in a pewter dress and handmade jewelry by one of her bridesmaids.

As Rena was getting ready in her hotel room on Lonsdale Quay, she showed me why this spot was special to her. Even though she grew up in Burnaby, she revealed that when she would skip school, she would take transit all the way over to the Quay where she would waste the day away hanging out on the dock… the dock right below the hotel room where she was getting ready today!

One of the gifts the couple asked for was an acoustic guitar. Rena’s uncle presented them with a beautiful instrument and a Bryan Adams song…

English Bay with Freda & Toni :: Vancouver Engagement

I planned to meet Freda and Toni at English Bay around 6:30 in the evening… little did we know that we picked what was probably the busiest day of the year on the beach so far. It was the first true day of Summer with a ton of great light, a warming heat in the sun, and a cool breeze in the shade. Other than having to dodge a few thousand people on the shore, it was a perfect atmosphere for a relaxed engagement session!

Freda and Toni looked so genuinely happy together; it was impossible to catch a moment where they weren’t smiling or laughing or kissing.

I am certainly looking forward to their wedding in a few weeks where we’ll be on a boat cruising False Creek during the Celebration of Light fireworks!
