Laurie+Warren=Elegance

It was such a pleasure to spend the day with the Warren & Laurie. Sophisticated and urbane, this couple is one class act. They are so perfectly matched - when they are together, they just radiate a love that is so strong, so calm, and so serene.

Laurie's gorgeous dress & veil was envisioned & created by her oh-so-fabulous brother, designer James Yeh . Sexy slingbacks by Delman.

James arranges the final touches.

Gorgeous bride!

A handsome Warren waits at the church with cutie-putootie ring-bearer Nicholas.

Their ceremony was so moving. Made me teary-eyedwhen I watched their highlight reel shot by Laura Ann Cinema.

Cool spot. Hot couple.

The wedding party was super-fun especially when a little puppy was added to the group!

Though Warren & Laurie now live in London, England, they love to return their hometown and walk Vancouver's waterfront.

I love the peace of this portrait.

A candle-lit reception.

And smiles and tears all around at the speeches.

First dance.

And a final shot out on the street with the gorgeous couple! Congratulations Laurie & Warren!

Chery+John=Sweet

As sweet as a cherry - that is the delicious-sugary-goodness that is Chery & John's love. These two were so giggly and flirty with each other all day! It was so much fun to spend their day with them.

It began at Hotel Vancouver where Chery got ready for parts one & two of her day - allowing John into her suite and then heading out for some city shots.

Two dresses and lots of sparkle!

While Chery got ready, John takes a walk on the wild side with his boys...

Before donning some lipstick and shelling out some cash to see his bride.



Pure sweetness.

Outside for some urban portraits.

Love the lines & textures in this cool underground setting.

Some fun around town and then it was out to Swaneset for a gorgeous sunny-day ceremony.

Chery planned her colour scheme at the ceremony & reception around her name - purple & red for cherries! Decor and floral by the fabulous Kim & Andy at Wedding Design Studio

We Do.

Married!

Some portraits on the grounds of Swaneset - such a great venue.

Playing with the backlight & shadows.

Lovin the light.

Chery greeted her guests at the reception with martini glasses filled with cherries - such a fun personal touch.

And everyone had fun with the bejewelled point&shoot cameras!

Final image of the night.

Congratulations Chery & John!

Sarah+James=Genuine

Genuine. That is the word that comes to me when I think of Sarah and James. The way the listen to each other. The way they look at each other. The real and deep connection that comes from years of truly knowing & understanding each other.

Their day started with a First Look on the beach pier. The handsome James waited patiently to see Sarah & give her her bouquet.

I always love these moments between about-to-be-husband and about-to-be-wife.

We got to hang with the always-awesome-photog Tim who grabbed this shot of me playing it safe balancing on a log...

..while I was shooting my fav image of the day:

Sarah - what a natural beauty! She and James love the outdoors, so we headed into the forest for some portraits among the ferns and trees.

Then it was off to Hart House for the ceremony. Sarah and James shared a happy look of anticipation as they walked down the aisle together.

Why doesn't everyone have their ceremony at sunset? So soft & pretty. Love this image from Tim.

They each wrote and read their own vows - which were filled with tender thoughts & laughter. This image just makes me smile.

It's official - husband & wife!

A romantic first dance.

And lots more dancing & fun late into the night!

Congratulations Sarah & James!
