Rockwater Secret Cove Wedding: Ashley and ChrisMay 16th, 2012 | Full PostA beautiful Sunshine Coast wedding! |

I’ll start by showing one of our most crazy dress shots we’ve taken in a while!





Ashley and Chris had a first look before the ceremony, which allowed us to have a lot of time for creative shots. Thank you Ashley, for scrambling all over the rocks!







Ceremony time! It was perfect. Their marriage commissioner, Grieg Soohen, is definitely our top choice for the sunshine coast.








Vancouver Wedding Ceremony LocationsApril 30th, 2012 | Full PostVancouver has some of the most beautiful ceremony locations to get married in! Here are some of our favourites! |
|
|
When I think of my favourite locations, it’s not just based on appearance, it also has to do with ease of shooting. It’s great photographing at a location where I am able to access various angles without disrupting guests.
Sommer and Dean got married at the Blue Water Cafe, which created such a unique and romantic feel with the candles and the cool overhead lighting! Such an intimate setting!



We love shooting weddings at Brix! Such a romantic setting with great food!
Ericha and Shaun share their wedding vows in the courtyard

Michelle and her flower girls walk down the aisle. Love that chandelier! : )

One of the main reasons we love shooting at Brix is this walkway. It’s brick covered walls and lighting creates a great backdrop for our couples!

A perfect location for a beautiful ceremony! Trees, lake, and a beach! One tree in particular has witnessed it’s fair share of wedding love! ; ) We’ve done so many weddings at Brock House that it was difficult to choose which pictures to post, but here are some of my favs, starting with Sarah and Sim’s wedding!

Kathleen and Warren get married under the infamous tree at twilight. So romantic!


Much like Brock House, Hart House is also surrounded with gorgeous trees and lush greens!
A perfect Summer’s day and gorgeous ceremony location for Adina and Zach to get married!


Some people like to get married with trees or ocean as a backdrop, but Susan and Allen chose Marriott Pinnacle in order to be amongst the magnificent Vancouver skyscrapers! Very cool!

Celebration Pavilion is another popular choice for those wanting to have an indoor/outdoor feel and can be a great pick if there is suspected rain as it opens up to the outside, but keeps the couple dry!
Here is Linda walking down the aisle to Chris!

And here is an example of the back opening up on a rainy day as Angela and David tie the knot!


Hycroft Mansion is a great place to get married indoors or outdoors because of it’s beautiful setting!
This garden yard setting was perfect for Sharon and Paolo!


Inside is elegant and authentically stunning! A wonderful setting for Angela and Corey‘s vintage style wedding!


A beautiful downtown church, here is where Trina and Andy were married:


This parish is absolutely beautiful, and was where Kathryn and Jesse were married:


St Augustine’s Parish was a beautiful setting for Claire and Fiachra’s catholic ceremony:


Minoru Chapel is a popular choice for couples who want the sweet quaint feeling of getting married in a chapel nestled in a beautiful park.
Jenni and Gab just married!

…and here is a view from afar as Cindy and Derek share a kiss for their guests : )

This church is grand! The beautiful stained glass window makes for a great backdrop and lighting! I had always wanted to photograph there and when Jill and Glenn contacted me I was thrilled!!! : )


Alaina and Chris had a beautiful fall day wedding at Christ Church in Cloverdale, one of the more intimate church settings.

Another gorgeous church setting, a bit bigger than the last. ; )
Melissa and Peter get married in St Paul Anglican Church. Love the height of the ceilings and the wood beams! And it looks like such a quaint setting from the outside!



This popular UBC location looks great rain or shine. Here’s Judy and Mike’s ceremony at Cecil Green:

And Susan and Jason’s ceremony on the covered deck. Thank goodness they installed glass ceilings on the deck to let in the nice natural light!

Despite the many seagulls flying around, Megan and Dorian and their guests were safe from blessings of poo!! UBC Boathouse is beautiful right on the ocean with the crisp sea breeze. Very cool location!

You can’t beat this backdrop, which is why I love photographing at the Westcoast Wilderness Lodge on the Sunshine Coast! So many spots to capture couples in amongst gorgeous spots!
Here are Rob and Robyn with their wedding party chilling out!

And Rich and Janelle’s ceremony. The view is amazing!


Alicia and Ed’s vintage wedding dreams came to life on their wedding day, held at Whonnock Lake. This location has sentimental value for me and I love shooting there because it’s where Mark and I were married!! ; )
Beautiful scenery makes beautiful ceremonies!



One of my very favourite ceremony locations, and I was so happy when Stephanie and Dave picked it because it has so much potential for capturing such beautiful shots amidst the amazing flowers!



More lush greens and a variety of different types of trees at Swan E Set makes it a popular choice for a great backdrop, and helped make Steph and Jeff’s ceremony such a beautiful event!! : )

I love these two trees as a backdrop for a couple getting married. Almost a metaphor for love intertwining! : )

Here is a very recent wedding at the Vancouver Club where Jennifer and J.B. held their ceremony. So glamorous and intimate! And I love that chandelier!!


I saved one of my very favourite locations til last! This place rocks!! The very title “secret cove” makes it ideal for a celebration of love! It was perfect for Ashley and Chris!

One of the coolest things about Jenn and Steve’s ceremony was that all of her guests were gathered on the rock face, while Jenn and Steve were married on the dock in front of them! The couple requested that I sit in a boat behind them and at first I thought that was crazy (in a good way, of course!) but I plucked up my courage and did it anyway! I am so glad I did because it worked out so well!!!

Random side note: When I first met Trina and Andy YEARS ago through a mutual friend, I remember thinking to myself that Trina had very nice eyes and they would be fun to photograph. Little did I know that I’d be photographing their engagement session, wedding, and now, maternity session!!! And more to come I’m sure ; )

hycroft is my favourite…!! your blog always make me feel like i want to get married all over again…

I am always looking for new people to meet and collaborate with, if you are looking for new talent to work with, let me know. I would love the opportunity to do a test shoot with you in the near future.
