When Fareedah and Robert met with us and mentioned that their wedding was going to be in June, Fareedah said that she is convinced that it is going to be a beautiful day. And truly, the weeks leading up to June 13 have indeed been uncharacteristically gorgeous and sunny for Vancouver. The week before the 13th, however, forecasted some rain. I remember Fareedah, Robert and I sitting at Caffe Artigiano poring over the different weather apps we had on or iPhone to check, nay triple-check, what it's going to be like. Although we did have a scare that we were going to be rained out, it was all for naught for, as Fareedah confidently forecasted, it turned out to be a beautiful day!
Besides the weather, a lot has excited us about this wedding in the details Fareedah mentioned during the planning - the old hollywood, vintage look she was going for, the wedding at the peak of Vancouver, Grouse Mountain, the souped-up rides she (a Rolls Royce) and Robert (a helicopter) and a chance to work with Fairy Godmother Weddings and Photobooth Vancouver, to name a few.
We started the day in Gastown at Burke & Hair with very talented hairstylists, Kelley Schedewitz and Marty Boechler and makeup artist, Oz Zandiyeh.

There's something about this shot that I really like...

Nothing puts a smile on bridesmaids' faces but boxes from Tiffany & Co. Heck, even I had a smile on my face watching and shooting this!

The portraits!

Robert and Fareedah, thank you so much for making us a part of this great occasion! I hope you enjoyed the Tigh-Na-Mara getaway and the Korea/Japan honeymoon will be awesome!
