Congratulations!

Cindy & JP

Cindy & JP tied the knot in a day full of laughter. Cindy is incredibly radient with a beautiful smile. She and JP are so obviously in love and the day was full of joy. Cindy and her bridesmaids were such troopers as we dragged throughout Yaletown and then took them to one more spot before heading to the reception.

Here are two quick images:


Lindsay & Henry

When Lindsay and Henry planned their wedding day, they left no detail to chance. It was exquisite.

Steve and I were lucky enough to have two sessions with them - an Us Session and the wedding day itself. Lindsay and Henry decided to take some pressure off themselves and used the Us Session as an extension of their wedding day portraits. The result was a lower stress wedding day and an opportunity to explore some of Vancovuer's less travelled locations without the time constraints that can come with a wedding.

The best part was, they had stunning portraits to display at their wedding:








And on the wedding day itself, the time and effort that Lindsay spent on the details was evident throughout the Vancouver Club. She chose two of our favorite companies for her flowers and decor - Boquets Floral and Upright Decor - and they created a stunning backdrop for Lindsay's wedding.

And Lindsay herself (along with some help from family) contributed to the decor with 999 origami cranes hung throughout the Club.


One other unique idea they had was a fountain that stood at the entrance to the dining room. With a bowl full of pennies available for wishes, the guests were encouraged to toss a penny full of good thoughts into the fountain. What a great idea!


Here are a few of our favorites from the wedding day:
