Marriott Pinnacle Wedding: Susan and Allan

1. Some people like to get married with trees or ocean as a backdrop, but if Vancouver’s skyscrapers are what you’re looking for, then Marriott Pinnacle is your place!!
2. Cars, cars, cars!  Allan (+company) loves cars, so we were chauffeured around in three “special” cars during the day.  I say special, because I haven’t a clue what they were (sorry Allan!) : P  But my accurate description is that they were “nice, dark, and leathery” : )
3. Japadog!  It’s so fun and relaxing for everyone to have a bite to eat during photo time, and this was my first try at a Japadog (there is a veggie version), thanks to Mark!
4. I want to make a separate blog post on one of the cool games they played during the reception.  Now that I’ve said it, I have to follow through and do it (later, I promise)  : )

Together with many friends and family, a picture perfect ceremony and a huge reception/party was held for Susan and Allan- starting off at “not too crazily early” in the morning (there is a scale of craziness for bridal start times), and going strong on through the night.  Check it:

OMG You are UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Krista

I love love loooove this set!!! So awesome!

michelle ellis

love love love it all….but that shadow-y shoe shot is hauntingly delicious!

Magna Goerke

Leslie, I’m new to the blog scene and just LOVE your work. If it’s possible, I’m even a bigger fan than before!!

Andrea

Nice! I love the ceremony pic…and the shoe pic of course!!

Christina Looker

i love the shadow shoe shot! totally UH-mazingly fabulous! i think you’re the best photographer on God’s green earth!!!

Carolyn Egerszegi

These are all incredibly terrific. You have such a gift for anticipating the moment (either that or you are ALWAYS in the right place at the right time) because the emotions and the expressions and the details throughout are just perfect. Oh, and that crazy-wide shot with the sky and the skyscrapers? Breathtaking. Well done. Again!

Lifestyle Portrait Session with Hanna and Atsushi

Apologies for the “cluster blogging”!  I’m not sure if this has become a habit, but right now I have lots to blog!

These two married lovebirds are in town from Japan for Aveline and Andrew‘s upcoming wedding, and wanted a lifestyle session in Vancouver.  They are super cute x100!  …and I love the dress too!

I love them…All of them…

Andrea and Matt

1. I didn’t believe Andrea and Matt when they told me they were having a small wedding.  I didn’t think they could pull it off with only 15 guests… I figured others would pressure them into letting them attend.  I was wrong!  Not only did they pull it off, but we’re talking 15 people in total, including themselves and the 5 person wedding party (all the brothers and sisters).
2. Holy smokes- check out Andrea’s shoes!  She got them dyed in that hot color and they definitely take the cake.  I love the juxtaposition of a small, quiet, and intimate wedding day, and those “out there” shoes!
3. Their one-table reception was held in the wine room at the C Restaurant.
4. Matt and Andrea are having a large reception up in the Okanagan which is going to be totally amazing (wish we could be there but we’ll already be in the Okanagan to shoot a wedding at the same time!).

What an honor to be asked to be a part of such an intimate day!  Andrea and Matt were married by Matt’s father, Matt’s brother lead a prayer during the ceremony, Andrea’s father did a reading, Andrea’s loving sisters sang and her future brother-in-law played guitar– the closeness and meaningfulness of everything was quite apparent and moving during their ceremony.  We wish them a beautiful day of fun in Kelowna!

Andrea

Thanks so much! I’m so happy that you both were able to join our celebration!

Janie

Wow that’s so cool! LOVE LOVE LOVE the dress/BM dresses.

…i’ve never abbreviated bridesmaids before…and now that I have, I realize that it looks like I said Bowel Movements. I am leaving it for now, but I don’t think I will ever abbreviate that again.

adam loewen

I love your stuff, very clean and classy.

Alice

wow, love the photo of the couple standing among the trees.

Leslie

Janie, I think the Bowel Movement dresses are beautiful as well : )

Jessica

Beautiful, beautiful beautiful! Awesome pics. I am going to keep telling all my friends about you :)

diana

absolutely stunning :o ) I am beyond thrilled for the both of you. I send you all my very best wishes.
