It has been very difficult to know exactly what to post from Carly and Steve’s incredible June wedding at the UBC Boathouse, so I am posting a link to their slideshow here.
They are both creative and gorgeous people—who were willing to climb steep embankments and ladders on our portrait session, making me both very happy and very nervous. Wherever we went they just seemed to see what I was seeing and jumped into the scene—or onto the ladder! I don’t recommend that everyone try this—Carly for one has actual trapeze training, and I think Steve must have done stunt work at some point, judging from his visit to the photobooth we set up during the reception! It was lots of fun shooting with friend Amish Solanki who usually shoots stills but was in this case flexing his cinematographic (is that a word?) muscles –and thanks go to his wife Natisha who found us shooting in the hot field and brought us all bottles of water!! Please check out the list of Carly and Steve’s fabulous vendors at the bottom of this post, and again, their slideshow for more photos.
