Lisa+Kevin=Exquisite


Lisa & Kevin's wedding was all about the art of simplicity. Everything, from the clean lines of Lisa's Alfred Sung dress, to the silhouette of her Calla Lily bouquet, to the couple's intimate lunch reception, spoke of their love for classic elegance.

A sunlit morning to get ready.



Just look at Lisa's expression when she sees Kevin waiting for her at the end of the aisle.
And Kevin looking back at her.

Their rings were especially important to them.
Lisa's joy at being married!
And a quiet moment between husband and wife alone on the beach.

And on the dance floor.

One of my favourites - I just love the moment, especially in rich black&white.
But colour is fun too!
Congratulations, Lisa & Kevin! It was such a lovely day & we're so glad we could share it with you.

Jessica+Gonz=Beautiful


What a day! We like to call Jessica & Gonz our supermodel couple since the camera just looooves them! Especially on their wedding day: the weather was glorious, the details, all pretty in pink, and their wedding party, totally fun-loving. But it was the moments between them that were truly beautiful.

Getting ready at the Fairmont was a flurry of excitement.
Loving the sparkley shoes!
The beautiful bride.

We arranged for Jessica and Gonz to have their First Look in Gastown. It was a tender, beautiful moment.
No wonder Gonz was happy!
I think the images from the sequence on our favourite hill are some of my favs from the year. I just love the way we played with the light to give Jessica that beautiful glow and keep Gonz all rugged in the shadows.


It was fun hanging with their wedding party.Cecil Green is such a beautiful venue and the room looked perfect.
A few moments during the ceremony.And during the speeches (Gonz serenaded his bride with a song).

Dancing the night away...

Michelle+Dustin=Original!

I love a girl who dares to be different! And Michelle was certainly a bride with her own sense of style! She looked absolutely captivating & chic in her passion-red gown.

One more of Michelle in her dress (she looks so fab, I couldn't resist!).


The dress was a surprise for Dustin, who waited anxiously to see her at their First Look. I love this tradition of the groom offering his bride-to-be her bouquet. Click PLAY below to see their romantic sequence.


They were mesmerized with each other.

The ceremony was just as poignant.

And their reception at Hazelmere was gorgeous as well, thanks to the luxe design of Kim at Wedding Design Studio.

Dustin and Michelle had a dreamy first dance. And then partied the night away like the rock stars they are! Hope you guys had a fantastic time on your Vegas honeymoon!

Amy+Oliver


A gorgeous bride and groom + a night in Vancouver= some dramatic images!

Beautiful actress Amy and her handsome British groom Oliver decided to take advantage of our signature B+G Sessions and head out on the town a few nights after their wedding for some dramatically different portraits. They caused quite the stir in downtown Vancouver, literally stopping traffic!

But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself! Before the night shoot was their beautifully romantic wedding on Bowen Island.

The dress.
The shoes.

The view.
The bride.
And the groom.
Who were very much in love.A few nights later, it was downtown for our B+G session. We love to do these shoots either after or before the wedding as it gives us lots of time & freedom to get really creative!

And anything and everything is possible - this summer our pre and post wedding shoots have taken us from the streets of San Francisco to the skyscrapers of NYC to the top of Canada's tallest sand dunes.

Amy and Oliver wanted to do their B+G session in downtown Vancouver at night - the place they spent a great deal of time when engaged!

They got romantic in the middle of Robson Street.
And on its sidewalk.
Before doing some sexy shots on the bridge.We ended up at a bar on the waterfront where Oliver first met Amy - he fell in love after she served him a beer.I love the reflection on the bar in this shot.It was a fabulous night!
Congratulations Amy+Oliver!
