Jason + Jan *Just Married*

This year has been an extremely blessed one for us. We had awesome clients, awesome learning experiences and great friendships forged throughout the process. If this is any indication of how next year is going to turn out, well, we just can't wait.

Jason and Jan's wedding is the great ending to this season. I remember Jan as the stress-free bride who breezed through the planning considering the time of their wedding - fall in Vancouver. But with how the day it turned out, it could have been any day in the peak of summer. The sun was glorious and everyone was in such high spirits.

It was cool to see a few familiar faces at this wedding. In fact, Jan was a bridesmaid at Cristina's wedding and now they've switched roles! It's really special to witness such strong friendships and the love and support that's truly evident on Jason and Jan's day.

The girls were up bright and early getting their hair and make-up done at Jan's aunt's salon...

But not too busy to check out Facebook!

A simple but elegant wedding dress.

Jan's dad loves miniature trains. He even has a working one in their backyard. We've asked one of the crew to hold up the rings for us... hold that pose! hold it, hold it!

Love the fall colours! I always thought Vancouver as an evergreen place, regardless of season, especially compared to the mid west. It wasn't until we were doing serious photography that we noticed the lovely colours everywhere around town.

I thought this portrait just shows how happy Jason is.

The rote lineup of bridesmaids fixing each other's dress up...

Yummy light illuminating our gorgeous bride...

Holding back tears just before walking down the aisle!!!

Nothing but pure joy when she reached the end of the altar...

Time for portraits!

Great candid caught by our second shooter, Gina!!!

These two are naturals...

Jason proposed to Jan during a trip to Disneyland. The Mouse ears were his idea. I love it!

Somebody's enjoying her ride!

Back to Sun Sui Wah for the tea ceremony and the reception.

Check out the bling!

The toast!

Jason always had a big smile ready for the camera...

Jason's brother and a friend are probably the best reception emcees ever! Everybody was rolling in laughter during Jason's brother's ROAST! Yes, it wasn't a speech, it was a roast... and oh boy, my ears are still ringing with the howls and the bursts of laughter!

We're glad the they agreed to do last minute portraits at the parking lot. One of my faves!

Jason and Jan, thanks for such a wonderful experience. You guys were awesome to work with and we're so excited for you to see the rest of the photos. I hope the cruise was a blast!
