Thanks so much to all you wonderful folks who made some very fun blog comments to help fuel a donation of $328 to the Greater Vancouver food bank! That’s $984 worth of food because of the food bank’s 3:1 food buying power!
Happy holidays everyone! We are off-line to spend time with friends and family (and a little trip to Paris) from Dec 21-Jan 4.
Chelsea and Leroy hail from the gang of 6 couples whose weddings I have had the honor of photographing (or soon will be photographing) in recent times. It’s now come to the point where I know who the parents, grandparents, siblings, and children of many guests are- thanks to speeches, dinner table chit chat, and friendly guests who now recognize me. It’s so fun to see how each wedding is different, and it keeps me on my toes to make sure each have a unique experience yet still get the consistent results they are hoping for.
Chelsea and Leroy’s wedding was perfecto from start to finish. Dark and rainy day? No problemo!
Congrats Chelsea and Leroy! We’ll see the gang again in January and in May!
This is the last blog post for Cans for Comments! Thanks to your efforts, we have already had 149 comments since we announced C4C a few weeks ago! We just learned that the food bank has 3:1 buying power, meaning if we donate $2 to the foodbank, they can purchase $6 of food. So rather than us supporting walmart or costco by purchasing their food to donate, we’ve decided to donate $2 per comment to the food bank. Each comment you make is going to allow the Greater Vancouver Food Bank to purchase $6 of food! Last chance to BRING IT ON! Cut off is midnight, Saturday Dec 19. I know some of you are disappointed that we don’t get to make Mark carry a carload of cans to the food bank, but maybe if I exchanged the $300 cash into 30,000 pennies that might be more interesting? If only I had more time on my hands…
1. The shoes
2. The coat
3. The purse
4. The weather
5. Lianne’s frilly behind (of the dress, that is!)
6. The wedding party and amazing flower girl
7. October 31 at Heritage Hall
need I say more?
1. This isn’t something I’d normally say for a wedding, but I love how serious and stressed Derek looked before the ceremony- those are some of my fav pics : ) But the stomach butterflies went away immediately after he saw Judy coming down the aisle and the ceremony began.
2. This was our first New Kids on the Block themed wedding (will there ever be another?) Their custom wedding guestbook I designed for them had page headers prompting guests with questions such as: “Which is a better boy band: New Kids On The Block or N’SYNC?” and their first dance was NKOTB too!
3. Wedding ceremony, tea ceremony, and cocktail hour was held at Social at le Magazin! I love the alleys of gastown- this is the one and only time you’ll ever see a family formal pic posted on this blog- best location for a family formal if you ask me! : )
4. I think Derek and Judy hired us because I use ‘rad’ and ‘awesome’ in my vocabulary a lot. I knew that would get me somewhere in life! Ha!

Just over one month old!
And a proud family member : )
Don’t forget Cans for Comments! For every comment on the blog, one can of food will be donated to the food bank!
Joanna’s smile is contagious, so I thought I’d share some of the many smiles from this wedding! : ) : ) : )
Yup, you guessed it : )
Joanna’s sis, Kate, was the one responsible for Joanna sending me a giant checklist of my ever-favorite “questions to ask your photographer” (the largest questionnaire I’ve ever seen of this kind), so as retaliation, here she is folks! The questionnaire forgot to address embarrassing blog photos!!! ahahahahah we love ya Kate!
When will I ever stop the teasing!?!! I have gotten to know Kate a bit since the wedding, and I think she’ll actually like those two air guitar photos : )
Congrats Joanna and Jordan!
Don’t forget Cans for Comments! One can of food for every comment left on the blog in the next few weeks will be donated to the food bank!
