Furry Creek Wedding with Heather & Ewan

If you haven’t heard of Furry Creek, you aren’t alone. Heather & Ewan invited family and friends to join them at the beautiful Furry Creek Golf & Country Club an hour north of Vancouver on the way to Whistler. It was an absolutely gorgeous location on a very overcast day. I’ll probably mention the venue a few more times in this post as it was truly one of the best. Their event coordinator, Jill Weekes, was on top of everything and kept everyone on-time, and even better… the food was out of this world!

What an amazing setting for Heather & Ewan to get married…

My second photographer, Geno DellaMatia was hanging with Ewan and captured these images:

Meanwhile, Heather and the ladies were getting ready nearby.

Two adorable little flower girls were raring to go before the ceremony!

But only one made it down the aisle…

And the other didn’t quite make it all the way down once she saw mom on the side!

The ceremony was scheduled to be an outdoor event on one of Furry Creek’s many scenic overlooks; unfortunately the weather drove us indoors but there was still a lot of beautiful natural light in the room and and equal amount of love.

We headed out in some insanely-powered golf carts to tour the sights and the beaches nearby.

I love this one; thanks to Geno for making the image while having to carry gear and umbrellas!

Big thanks to the fashion photographer who saw us getting wet and offered to leave his temporary shelter on the beach for us to use when he was done! This one gave us a nice break from the constant rain.

Now I’ve seen a fair number of wedding cakes done by friends and family and I’ve seen some really high-quality ones lately, too, but this one takes the cake. (Wow, that was bad, wasn’t it?) The uncle who made this happens to be a culinary instructor so you certainly can see the professionalism here and attention to detail.

The catering and deserts provided by the Furry Creek Country Club were quite easily the best I’ve seen (and tasted) all year.

The first dance…

Freda & Toni & Fireworks on a Boat :: Wedding Photography in Vancouver

I was looking forward to Freda & Toni’s wedding all year. After shooting their engagement session at English Bay, it was easy to see that these two were truly in love… and they planned to celebrate that love by getting married on a boat under the Celebration of Light fireworks!

Earlier in the day, these two were surrounded by a wealth of family and friends on the top deck of the Queen of Diamonds as they said their vows overlooking False Creek.

Even better than the ‘first kiss’ shot, for me, is the ‘first hug’ — so much love!

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…

Krista and Kyle :: Stanley Park Wedding in the Rain




When you plan your wedding for June in Stanley Park, you have a fair reason to expect sun, right? No matter what you plan, Vancouver has its own mind when it comes to the weather. Krista and Kyle took it all in stride when they celebrated their wedding last Sunday in front of close friends and family at the Vancouver Rowing Club. We dodged the rain most of the day, including as Krista got ready at her mother’s home in Burnaby.




Krista looked gorgeous in the overcast light!




15 minutes before the ceremony was scheduled to begin outside, Kyle made the call to move it indoors. The rain wasn’t coming down hard (by Vancouver standards) but it was persistent.




We took a few groups and family photos at the new Convention Centre. Can’t you see the beautiful seascape behind us?




Back at Stanley Park, everything was still wet but the rain had mostly stopped.

Youngjin and Yun – Korean Wedding in Vancouver

Youngin and Yun asked me to photograph their traditional Korean ceremony in Vancouver and I was thrilled to help as it was my first. Yun made a beautiful bride as she prepared for the day in a suite in the Four Seasons, downtown Vancouver.

The bride and groom were first married in a western-style ceremony in the beautiful Arbutus ballroom of the Four Seasons Vancouver.

After the bride and groom were married and introduced to family and friends, the traditional Korean tea ceremony was arranged.

An evening in Yaletown {vancouver wedding photography}

I was contacted by Michael not long before his wedding. He and his bride were getting everything together for what would be a very intimate gathering of friends and family in their Yaletown condo. I was honored to be there and photograph their day! Here are a few select images from the two hour event.

Remember the sun {vancouver wedding photography}

As I’m posting this wedding during the cold fall rain, it makes me long for the gorgeous sunny days we had this year. This gorgeous summer wedding was really a blast as it started in the same church where I was married and then headed to the Vancouver Art Gallery for the reception.
