It was the last wedding of 2011 for us, and ended our year of weddings perfectly. Elaine and Chester were prepared for the worst in terms of weather on their wedding day, but we were treated with nothing but golden sun until the early winter sunset! Their ceremony was held at Aberthau Mansion in Point Grey, and reception was held at the always awesome Kirin at Starlight restaurant. Thanks Elaine for being a sport in the cold, and congratulations to both of you!

The snow is just about gone in our neighborhood, but last week we took full advantage of the beautiful weather and had an engagement session with Pearl and Justin. Thanks for braving the slippery snow!

I loved photographing Mariko and Howie’s engagement session at a new location- near Mariko’s horse stable by Burnaby Lake. Such a beautiful location that I have only admired from the highway until now. Thanks for the fun opportunity Mariko and Howie!

I’ve been looking forward to photographing these two again for some time. Angela and Corey had a fab wedding way back in 2009 at Hycroft, and now they are back with their sweet little addition: Eli. If you ignore the winter outfits, some of these photos could be mistaken for summertime : ) Thanks for the fun Angela and Corey!

Jennifer and J.B.’s beautiful wedding was held at the beautiful Vancouver Club. I loved all the live music throughout the day, and will especially remember Jennifer’s maid of honor singing ‘At Last’ during the dance- it was amazing! Congratulations Jennifer and J.B.!
