joy & jon wedding

Now I know you’ve all been anxiously awaiting this post after having a look at their wedding photo teaser.  Well…  Here it is!  I’m excited to share these photos with you.  They were taken in the Greater Toronto Area, with some taken in Downtown Toronto’s financial district.  The very same place where all the G20 chaos was going on — Joy & Joy — good thing you guys got married before all this was going on!

Most of the day was wet and rainy, but that’s no problem for a Vancouver wedding photographer, even if the wedding is in Toronto!

Lucky for us, the rain held off for most of the shoot in the afternoon when we headed off to downtown Toronto!

We weren’t about to let some rain stop us! We had that situation covered with some matching umbrellas!

Hello, everyone… I had to wait until I got all the way to Vancouver to get a closer look at my photos…  I just couldn’t wait to have a look.  I know you want a peek too so I’m sharing just this one with you.  As for the rest… you’ll just have to wait just a bit longer!

lisa & al wedding video

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you may recognize Al & Lisa, a couple whose wedding I shot last May.  I recently stumbled upon their wedding video that covered their wedding shoot! Here’s a little view on how how photo sessions with me run.

I’ve asked Paul Conner,  the videographer, if I can share this video with you, and he has graciously agreed.  If you need videography services, give him a buzz.

A while back ago, I blogged about this couple’s engagement session at Gastown, in downtown Vancouver.  Their wedding was held at Greater Vancouver Baptist Church and the reception was at Heritage Hall.

Here are a few of my favorite photos:

What not to do for a wedding

It seems like some couples will go to great lengths to try something unique for their wedding.  While I’m all for being original, please, please, please try to be safe!  Check out this article from the BBC:

It was a pleasure shooting Lisa & Al…  They are such a relaxed couple, both in front of the camera, and in person — and, boy, are they in love!  If they weren’t laughing, they were being sweet with each other!  Their engagement session was shot in a fairly cool morning in March and they had their beautiful wedding on June 13.  Congratulations, you two!

The very kind folks at the Vancouver Fire Department Firehall #5 were kind enough to actually drive this firetruck out of their garage just for us!!!  How cool is that?!  Thanks so much, you guys!

What an awesome ring.  Al feels the need — the need for speed!  Nice touch with the carbon fibre on his ring (his hood is made out of carbon fibre too!)
