Janine and Steve
A beautiful fall wedding in the Shuswaps. Janine and Steve live in Calgary and were looking for a little nook someplace in b.c. for a small intimate wedding weekend where everyone could be together in the same place. They found this perfect space in Scotch Creek on the huge Shuswap lake while traveling to Janine's brother Bill and wife Libby's wedding in Whistler last year (I photographed their wedding too and thus the connection grows, that wedding was however pre-blog allthough some of them are on my website). So the cottages they found are set up in a perfect horse-shoe with every cabin looking inwards and out into Shuswap lake. And they had almost every cabin reserved for family and friends. I left that morning from Vancouver in a downpour that stayed strong the whole way to Kamploops. I thought for sure we'd be skirting locations with umbrellas, but the sun found it's way through and stayed for the rest of their day!
I love this list for Steve's day. Even labeled for him in case anyone mistake's it for their's.
Allright item number 4: Check marked. They know where the rings are!
There were too many beautiful children at this wedding including Janine and Steve's son Cole riding shotgun here. I could have filled a full blog post of the "kids at weddings".
This was right in the middle of the seating. An old broken handled water pump. So vintage and cool, I had to put this in here.
Here's their son Cole getting a little antsy away from his parents for too long.
With a change of location Cole had relaxed for their first kiss. I love this shot!
The owner of the lodge took us out in his boat to the centre of the lake (he's hiding below the seats), and I got out in a tippy little rowboat to capture them dipping their feet in.
Steve turned out to be a master rock skipper!
Keep the speeches flowing...
This was great. They were actually thanking me for the photography as I happened to be behind them shooting their speech. I asked them to hold poised for me and boom, it's like a posed reception group shot!
I really felt a great part of their wedding, I even parted with an array of gifts of wine, flowers, and cupcakes yum! And I'll not forget their gorgeous choice of locations for such a beautiful wedding.

The Vancouver Fall Wedding Show
Had a very successful wedding show on Sunday down at the Vancouver Convention Centre! It was a lot of fun and I wanted to thank everyone who came by to see me. I'm completely wiped today and I know this is exactly like an actual wedding: tons of preparation over months in advance and it's all over so fast! It was awesome meeting so many new people and I'm really looking forward to the season ahead. I still can't actually believe the last one's over already. Cheers to the to-be-brides and massive points for the groomes that made it out too!

Suzanne and Troy
I had the immense pleasure of photographing Suzanne and Troy's engagement a couple months ago, and from that session I knew their wedding was going to be awesome. The two of them together are a cocktail of fun, and it's infectious! We shared a lot of laughter that day and it continued to their wedding day making them so easy to photograph. Here's some of my fav's from their day.
Here's a little window into the joyful soul of Suzanne.
The cool Troy.
That first glimpse.
Their whole gang down at Spanish Banks.
Some of the details of the day. Hockey and Candy was thematic of the day, and it reflected them well.
Here's the Boat House in Stanley Park where they got married and had the reception. Can they pick a place or what?
Thanks you two you rock!
