This wedding was a most excellent ending to my 2012 season. It was my first time photographing a wedding reception in the Pacific Ballroom at the Hotel Vancouver and I can’t wait to return. It was the perfect golden setting for a warm and elegant evening. The flash mob and traditional Filipino dancing were the icing. And as always, it was my great pleasure to work along side the extraordinary wedding and event planner Alicia Keats. The bride’s hair and makeup was styled by Jayna Marie and her earrings and hair piece were by Elsa Corsi (including the lavender Swarovski crystal friendship bracelets for the bridesmaids.) Flowers by Granville Island Florist.

Not every day do you get to be a part of a directional blessing by a Salish elder in a beautiful candlelit Spanish Ballroom of the Hotel Georgia. What a beautiful end to our year! Thanks to Alicia Keats for her excellent planning and managing, Michelle Davidson for a meaningful ceremony, Elsa Corsi for Sarah’s sparkly accessories, Jayna Marie Makeup and Hair, Balconi Floral and Upright Decor. (Oh, and Vera Wang, good work, too.)

The rain was no damper for the vibrant green and pink Vancouver Club wedding of Stephanie and Blake last July. I had such fun literally running around with them in the downtown drizzle, releasing their silver date balloons.

You may remember Nicole & Kenndal’s engagement session which had me very excited for their Brock House wedding coordinated by Jessica Minnie of Petite Pearl Events. I hope some of these photos represent just a bit of the warmth and affection circulating that beautiful afternoon.
