Dana & Stu

Another incredible Tying the Knot couple this weekend! Dana and Stu got hitched in style. Dana's understated elegance and grace was evident in every part of the wedding day - from the dress, to the dessert buffet. It was all in impeccable good taste.






The entire bridal party got ready at the Hotel Vancouver where Steve and I were able to spend some time with both the guys and the girls. Then it was off to St. Andrew's Wesley for a beautiful ceremony. Dana's father spoke with eloquance and passion at his daughter's wedding - his words impacted everyone in the room, including the Minister performing the service. His love for his daughter shone through his words of hope and advice, and his obvious love for Stu was quietly affirmed in his words.

Then it was off for another incredibly fun photo shoot. The entire bridal party was so very much fun! We all laughed an had an amazing time together. And in between the laughter, we were able to make beautiful photographs again. Dana and Stu fit so well together and the love they share was evident in every look they shared. Our favorite moments are those when they are focussed solely on each other - and there are a lot of them!






After photos it was back to the Hotel Vancouver where the team at Upright Decor and Boquets Special Events transformed the ballroom into a stunning backdrop for the reception. The staff and chefs at the Hotel out did themselves - everything was taken care of perfectly!

And when the first dance was over, the party started!

Ann & Kay

Ann & Kay tied the knot in an incredible two days of celebration! We spent Tuesday with them as they honoured their heritage with tea ceremonies - one in the traditional Chinese/ Filipino dress and the other in traditional Japanese attire. Ann was stunning in each of her outfits!

On Saturday, Steve and I were honoured to be part of the wedding day. After getting ready at the Marriott, Ann & Kay headed to Holy Rosary for their ceremony. As always, the church provided a stunning backdrop for their vows.

After the ceremony and family photos, it was time for the photo shoot. Steve and I are always challenging oursleves to come up with new locations - ones that we haven't been to and ones that are not overdone. Well, today we succeeded. With incredible light, a little bit of wind, and a couple that trusted us completely, we were able to make some of my favorite images ever!

When the photos were finished we moved on to the reception at the Pan Pacific Hotel. With the videographers (Jan & Jake) from Horizons by our side, we watched emotional speeches, the first dance, and a beautiful moment between Ann & her father. We felt truly blessed to be there.

We know that Ann & Kay are going to be friends for life and we feel so lucky to have met them!

Break Free with the Bebbs

Are you stuck in rut? Ready to move your photography and business to the next level? Are you ready to break free?

Come hang with us in Chicago this fall and learn how to break all the rules and take your business, photography, and relationships up a notch.

We’ll show you how we do it…how we work together, live together, raise children together; how we work with clients, and how you can do it too!

This is not a seminar for the complacent or the content. We’re going to challenge everything you thought you knew and everything that you’ve been told. At the end of these three days you will shoot differently, and feel differently about all your relationships.

Email us at breakfree@tyingtheknot.net to receive your exclusive invitation to this event. There will be no more details here: to get the scoop you need to get on the list!
