Sandy+Sonny=Superlative | Vancouver Wedding Photography

Vancouver Wedding Photographers



Jam-packed full of action, events, colour, traditions, laughter, and of course, Sandy & Sonny's uncontainable LOVE, the couple's wedding was amazing! With a thousand guests and activities stretching over four days, we had the whole C+L team out in full force, including our fabulous associate Sarah, our intrepid assistant Garrett, the always-chill TJ, and led by the inimitable Colin. Thanks, guys!

Sandy & Sonny's big, beautiful album has over a 100 pages so it was super-hard to choose which images to share, but here are just a few of our favourites.

Sonny's wedding day attire.




The ceremonial tying of the turban.





Sandy's sparkle.





And the always sparkling Sandy. She is a photographer's dream, & perfectly captured by TJ:





Sonny arrived at the temple in the traditional way, by horse. Looking very regal, Sonny!



Though tradition dictates the couple shouldn't speak or smile during the ceremony, Sandy & Sonny couldn't hide their happiness. My favourite moment.





The couple left in a vintage car - love this album spread.

Joyous traditions.



A change of outfits and then Colin rocked a quick sunset photo session in family farm's blueberry fields. Another of my favourite album spreads.



A freshly shaven Sonny gets ready for the extravagant reception with his dad, Lucky.



Sandy. As previously mentioned, a photographer's dream :)



Chris knows this is his fav from the wedding & is pretty sure it's actually his favourite image he shot all season.



More sparkle.




More Sandy.





It's so nice to create portraits of a couple in a place that is meaningful to them like their home.





We stopped for some more portraits along the way to the reception.








Lots of gorgeous details.





Now this is a grand entrance!



Party time! Lucky & Sonny tear up the dance floor to Sardara Singh Gill.





More dancing! And look, it's Ujjal, our former premier, partying too :)



We always like to sneak out for some late night portraits. The last spread from their album.





Congratulations, Sandy+Sonny! We can't wait for you to have your super-fantabulous albums!

Brooklynn+Cory=True | Wedding Photography

Kelowna Wedding Photography



True. To each other. And to themselves as a couple. Brooklynn & Cory have a love so genuine & real, not even the wettest storm in Kelowna's history (truly- a recordbreaking 34mm of rain fell on their wedding day!) could dampen their spirits! From the moment they saw each other, they couldn't stop smiling.

The couple love the outdoors and Cory proposed to Brooklynn while they were out camping, so they were determined to endure, or perhaps embrace would be the better word, the soaking wet weather no matter what!

She may be an outdoorsy girl at heart, but Brooklynn has got style. Her gorgeous gown & shoes.





And the gorgeous bride herself.





So beautiful & natural. Brooklynn's makeup by the ever-so-charming-incredibly-talented-Vancouverite Nadia Albano (always our fav mua!).



Cory waiting - for quite a while - in the rain by the Bentley.



Flashing a smile once he finds out Brooklynn is ready.



First Look.



Actually, what could be more romantic than a first look rendezvous in the rain? :)




We thought they'd want to dry off, but after their First Look, Brooklynn & Cory hopped the fence & we all hiked up the hill for some portraits.









Then it was off to the lake. Brooklynn's fabulous family friend/interior designer/wedding planner/style guru/mud-stickiness-tester, the amazing Tara of Red Crayon Design helping the couple down to the water.









A few stops in town before heading to the ceremony.

Chris' image:



And mine:



We couldn't resist this old warehouse.





Meetup with the wedding party!







The rain finally let up when we got to Brooklynn's summer home for the ceremony. Guests were invited to kick off their shoes, put on their flipflops, and grabs some lemonade before making their way down to the backyard & the dock.



Ceremony site.



Love the simple & elegant details of their beach wedding. Especially the vintage desk on the end of the dock for the signing.



"We do!"









This cutie-pie joined in after the ceremony.



More simply elegant decor at the reception at Kelowna's Harvest Golf Club



Love this message in a bottle idea for the guests!



It started out as a regular cake-cutting.....


First Dance.



Congratulations, B+C!
