We had a blast with Amy & Ken at their portrait session. We started at the Round House and Aquarious in YaleTown and then headed off to Jericho Beach. You guys rock, you were so much fun and totally up for just about anything. Thanks guys for letting us take artistic license and be creative, we can't wait till you wedding day!

We made day to night with our super high sync speed and "Fancy" Radio Popper flash triggers!!! Love those things!







We love this area of the seawall, so much potential for awesome portraits! Above= Dan's shot... Below= Kat's Shot.... Taken at the same time!






Setting sun for superb light!

Veil shots are always fun too!

Just before the sun sets is one of our favorite times to shoot at the beach, golden tones and moody lighting make for some of our favorite shots!

Finding light and making light... and having fun;)

Last weekend we had the special privileged of photographing Paul and Candace on their wedding day. We were welcomed by their whole family the day before at the rehearsal and we were overwhelmed by their kindness. Such a joy to spend the day with such wonderful people

We were looking forward to there special day since there E-session here .




The beautiful Candace. Kat's shots.


Paul getting a hand getting ready. Dan's Shots

Together.


A few creatives before the ceremony.




Some moody portraits, under trees...in trees.




Some shots just of Paul & Candace all alone.

Oh and some fun shots playing with the flower girl.

How fun are these shots, look at the faces of the bridal party.

Now on to the ceremony.




Beautiful Candace arrives.


Several members of Paul's family are hearing impaired so during the service they had a translator signing the entire service. Can anyone read it?




A few ceremony candids and on to the reception.


The reception was held at scenic Burnaby Lake Rowing Pavilion.


The dances started as soon as Paul & Candace arrived.

Paul rockin the dance floor.


This lil' dude had moves.


Grandma even hit the dance floor later on.


A quick little get away on the lake. Just Paul...Candace... and a very worried photographer dangling camera and off-camera flash over the edge of the canoe.


The beautiful Candace, twilight bridal portraits.


Oh yes, and Paul too.


And now on to the photobooth!


Some goofing around with the groom.




"The Boys" aren't they cute!











A bunch of fun group shots.



Thank you so much for having us be a part of your special day. You two were fantastic and your family and guests were a joy to photograph as well!

These two are a ton of fun and they were totally up for anything. We started our shoot at Jone's Park because that's were Titus "popped the question" but we quickly headed Due South to water to grab some super duper dusk shots!

Thanks guys for being patient with us and our crazy schedule, we're still catching up on so many E-sessions since we got back.


Blessy almost got Dan in the head a few times.




Train tracks are always fun.




Isn't this just adorable, we helped them pick the flyaways out of Titus's hair after.


It's a train.... It's a car.... No It'sa It'sa..... "PocketWizard triggered flash set at full power" Thats right, it sure is. Love the bottom left one of Blessy.


Some lovely dusk portraits of these two.



And on last intimate twilight shot to finish off the evening. We had so much fun with you guys, congratulations and we'll see you in a Month!

And some goof "n" around...why not?

Up for anything, a looking good while doing it! Jumping, light, and red heels...

"Hello Angels... ahhhh hmmm.... ummmm well, Angel."

Moody and intimate... Tee hee, we tip toed through one "unlocked" open gate into an Emily Carr workshop for this one.

Another moody portrait of these two in love.

Running away?

Vancouver is home to many beautiful things, amazing views, fantastic beaches, great shops... but it is also home to very "unpredictable" weather! Laura and Nathan's special day started off with a beautiful sun filtered slightly with thin clouds, a photographer's dream! Then it started to cloud up, "no problem, we'll work our magic." Then it started to rain a little, "out come plastic bags and umbrellas, still workable." Then it got really cold and windy, "Dan forgot to bring a jacket, thankfully our assistant had a spare." But to top everything off it started to hail and snow during the creatives.... my oh my, what a crazy day.

But we still had fun, and the wedding party was well prepared with an arsenal of colourful umbrellas and cars with heaters blasting between locations. Hope you enjoy the pics :)

The boys

Here she comes

The inside of the beautiful Sherbrooke Mennonite Church with Tilt-Shift loveliness.



A few candid shots during family portraits

We told you it was snowing, yes those are SANDALS two of the bridesmaids are wearing... They were a little chilled on the toes.



Off to somewhere undercover till the snow passes...

And to take some nifty photos while we're there. Concrete squares, a happy find!

Some kuel ring shotz by Kat.

A few more funky portraits with "super assistant" Matt on lighting, you may have seen him if you've been following us for a while. He's also a "super client," check out his blog Matt & Rachel.



Absolutely LOVE this one of the guys. Matt (super assistant) climbed up good and high to light this one.

Meanwhile, Kat grabbed this awesome detail of the boys standing on the cement pipe...auhh thing. That was BTW not really secure, is rolled back and forth a little... Safety first?

The boys... ahhh I mean, MEN....

The Ladies.

Goofin' around....all key shift style...

And a jumping shot, cause they're FUN!

Yes, that groomsmen is kissing the back of Nathan's head....





Skipping ahead to the dance



Some Photo-Booth highlights.





She was so much fun.

"The single guys," their words... No Lie.

Congrats to Laura and Nathan,
we had a blast and thank
you so much for having us as a
part of your day.

All the best

We went on a fun little trip with a couple of old friends, they just so happen to be getting married! And guess what, they asked if we could capture their day. "YES!!!" We exclaimed loudly.




Goofin' around by an old church.

A couple of characters they are.

They did this on their own, but then we asked them to "do it again"


Final shot of the night, thanks so much you two. You're just so fun, we are totally stoked for your wedding day.

Till then

What a day, we clicked with this crew from the first shot. The whole day we couldn't stop laughing, smiling and just having a total blast. Kevin and April are such a cute pair, from their wedding party's black and white coordinated Converse shoes to their tagged getaway cars, everything was totally them.

We did all the creatives along 216th in Langley; first this cool grain station... ummm ahh... thing...

A jumping shot.... cause they're fun!


The absolutely stunning April!

Their crew on the back of a nearby train...



A Few Details.


A few more...

Getting the boys to stand still for this series wasn't easy!

A sweet intimate portrait.


Playing with the sun...

Down the street there is this awesome old Texco station. And another jumping shot, cause they really are fun....



Further down 216th we made our way to the Langley Airport and got to use a 1930's DC-3 for this classic, nostalgic series.

Love this infrared one,


this IR one too.



April had no problem at all getting around wearing these kicks, no 3 inch heels here.



We especially liked this clever camouflage technique, same colour as champagne!


Taste testing the cake, caught you!


First dance together...


Party Time!
Some PhotoBooth Favorites

Kids are always fun!

Congrats you two,
It was truly an honor to be a part of your wedding.

Isn't he just the cutest pup ever, and so well behaved too... Kerry & Jamie are pretty awesome too. We made full use of last Saturday's beautiful weather to capture this e-session for these two on Granville Island.



They're so much FUN!!! We just loved their energy.



Snuggle snuggle...

Okay, so if no one has guessed we were rockin the 85mm Shift Lens A LOT on this one! It's a new favorite.

Nothing like a sweet portrait of two people in love.




Last one to end the day. Thanks you two for a fantastic shoot.

We just loved this wedding, so fun... These two are so awesome! Charles, and most of his family are up from Eugene Oregon, where he is a Professor at University of Oregon. The Ceremony and Reception was at Green College at UBC, we were lucky the weather held and we had sun most of they day in Late July.



Props to Kat, grabbed this fun reflection shot.

Some fun getting ready details, love the musical shoes from John FlueVog .



Beautiful Sherry gets ready



Some trouble folding Charles' handkerchief, but never fear! To the rescue comes the blackberry with instructions!

All details aside, Charles looking very handsome.





Kat grabbed this wicked angle.

I got this one.









Love this.



The Boys...










Just love the wood framing and atmosphere of Green College...

Some Reception details, how cool are the bride and groom PEZ dispensers...

Proud Father...









Cheers!

Goofing around...

Fun group shots with fisheye....

...Fun group shots with fisheye x2


And the first dance



And everyone else hits the floor.

Fun at the Photo-Booth, A new thing for us...







This was a total hit and everyone had fun...some even knocked a few things over.

This group was a little over the top, but so much fun.

Yes that would be me goofing around with the MC in the bottom right...

Yes and we jumped in there too. Our fantastic assistant Brent Hodge took this one of Kat and me...

Congratulations Charles & Sherry!

We squeezed this fun shoot in just before New Years for Odette & Troy as they had to fly back to Montreal the very next morning. We'll be shooting their wedding come August. Can't wait! For now we hope you enjoy the photos.

We ran around Old Ladner for the last light of 2008 and grabbed some fun portraits of these two.








A little bit of goofing around is always fun.

Finding backdrops in small alleys.

Dodging Cars on this old bridge was fun, but it was getting colder and colder by the minute.



Hope you guys got home safe! We'll see you in in August!

Matt and Rachel are such a cute couple; we did this shoot in Ladner where they live. Along the water and in the old part of the town. Rachel has now left to go back home to Birmingham England for a few months. This shoot was a day or two before their last day together.










I was just loving these clouds; we underexposed the sky to get a dramatic effect for this series.


And a few silhouettes because they're fun!







So fun, you two were awesome! Hope you like the pics.

Best,
