Andreja & Robert | Terminal City Vancouver Wedding

admin — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 18:13:08 +0000

Andreja and Robert were married at Holy Rosary Cathedral, then held their reception at The Terminal City Club downtown. Shortly after the wedding, I posted many images on Facebook. I sometimes read the comments people make to one another there, and get a kick out of people “tagging” each other. Facebook is really an interesting forum of communication.

I pulled a few different images to post here… I wouldn’t want to repeat myself for the Facebook crowd! These ones are on the whole a bit more casual, whereas these cover the day more fully I think!

Annie & Dave | Vancouver Wedding Photographer

admin — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 00:46:31 +0000

Annie and Dave tied the knot this past Saturday. We took photos around Westwood Plateau Golf Club (very convenient, since that was the venue for the reception as well!). What a relaxed couple… both Annie and Dave were very laid back. It was clear that they were going to go with the flow the whole day, and I’m happy for them that everything turned out perfectly! The weather, the vintage Jaguar limo, the superb buffet spread at the venue…

Well, except maybe for be the The Netherlands losing the World Cup final on Sunday to Spain. The guests from Holland were surely disappointed. It was that octopus’s fault.

Sarah & Zoltan’s Vancouver Wedding

I recently shot Sarah and Zoltan’s wedding here in Vancouver. It’s kinda of funny (or maybe weird) how often I do a wedding and think that they lucked out on the nicest day of the year so far. Or maybe it’s just me. Sarah and the girls got ready at Sheraton Wall Centre downtown, and we all met for the ceremony at West Point Grey United Church. Afterwards, we took a few photos at West Point Grey Park, where Sarah played as a child. Then we headed to the reception location and shot some more around the grounds.

A few things that we really cool about their wedding were: their wedding “cake” was actually a pie (Zoltan’s favorite dessert), the fact that Zoltan is an avid photographer himself, and was even a professional a few years back (him trusting me to be his wedding photographer meant that much more to me), and the fact that Sarah’s 98 year Grandmother was in attendance… how special is that!

A little “Vegas” at a Vancouver Wedding

Nella and Rino had considered a Las Vegas wedding. Well, that idea just didn’t fly with the family, so they changed their plans and honoured the family’s wishes. Now, as a surprise gift to the bride and groom, someone went and flew in a Neil Diamond impersonator from Vegas, just to do a set at their wedding reception! That was a definite highlight of the day! That, the croquembouche wedding cake (another thing you don’t see very often), and the real wedding crashers – how Vegas is that!!

Michelle & Nathan’s Vancouver Wedding

admin — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 17:06:22 +0000

There is a lot of buzz surrounding the release of Apple’s new iPad. What does that have to do with Michelle and Nathan you ask? Just that Nathan is a software engineer who happens to work at Apple… Hmmm, I wonder if he’s going to get an iPad?

Michelle and Nathan’s wedding day was however computer free. Just some good people and a lot of fun times. I really liked that everyone was so willing to let loose and just goof around all day. Both the ceremony and reception were at The Landing in Gastown – which is a very nice venue! For the “formal” photos, we walked around Gastown a little, then headed to the Rose Garden in Stanley Park. Being a wedding photographer in Vancouver means I get to hang out in some very nice locations – great backdrops for creating great images!

Kristina & Ivan’s Vancouver Wedding

Earlier this week I blogged about having an image accepted into the PPABC’s Image Salon show. I posted that particular image of Kristina, but here are a few of the other images from their wedding day! I hope they convey how much fun the whole day was. Partay!

PPABC Competition Recognition

Well, for the first time ever, I entered the annual Salon Competition for the Professional Photographers Association of BC (PPABC). I was pleased that the following image was accepted into the show. It’s nice to know that a jury of my peers found it worthy! A big thank you has to go to Kristina – the bride whom I captured on her wedding day. She really does look great!

Burnaby’s Got Talent! 2010

admin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:34:26 +0000

Coming up on April 1st is the second annual “Burnaby’s Got Talent” show, put on by the Burnaby Optimists. It’s being held at the Michael J. Fox Theater. I was asked if I would photograph the contestants while they performed on stage… of course I said yes.

It’s too late now to register to compete, but it will no doubt be entertaining to watch. Come one, come all!

After the event, I’ll be posting all the images up at… http://www.pictage.com/799210

Jenn and Jamie’s Grouse Mountain Wedding

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:03:56 +0000

The recent Olympics made me think of Jenn and Jamie… Olympics = Inukshuk = photos with Jenn & Jamie on their wedding day. We all started the day getting at the Merriott Pinnacle Hotel in downtown Vancouver, went for formals around town before heading up to Grouse for the ceremony and reception.

Just one of the cool touches about their wedding was the custom label Jones Soda bottles. They used one of the images from our engagement session together. A very nice personal touch!
