Dennis + Cristina *Just Married*

The hot summer weather continued to hold up for Dennis and Cristina's August 16 wedding. We started off at the salon where the girls were getting all pretty and enjoying goood company.

A year later, we find ourselves working with awesome make-up artist, Ai Nagasawa, again. Doesn't Cristina look gorgeous?

Some cheongsam detail...

Sweet and succulent tomatoes growing on Cristina's mom's garden...

Pretty bridesmaids all in a row...

The bride all ready to go!

And the groom figuring out the suspenders with help from his men...

Portraits under the hot noon sun!

Then it was time for the ceremony... What could Cristina be possibly laughing at?

Perhaps it was nervous laughter after seeing Dennis not being able to hold back tears at the sight of his beautiful bride?

Love this connection between the two during the ceremony... It just radiates happiness in so many levels!

Dennis looking so cool with a bouquet of flowers.

Some portraits...

Tea ceremony details...

A few more portraits!

Dennis and Cristina having a great time viewing a show of old awkward photos of themselves... haha!

That image looks familiar...

I'm sure that Rico didn't ask this couple to pose when he took the shot from across the room but I love how it looks so posed! Something that we'd love to see in our photobooth!

Dennis and Cristina always having fun!

And a kiss for the guests!

We had a delightful time photographing you guys! I'm sure Fiji was wonderful! Can't wait to see the great tan!

Andrew + Bonnie *Just Married*

We almost did not cover Andrew and Bonnie's wedding as we were already booked for August 9. Even knowing that, AplusB still met with us to discuss the possibility of us doing their engagement session and a bridal session before the actual wedding. After our August 9 wedding was cancelled, we told them of our recent availability for that weekend and they readily booked for their 08.08.08 wedding!

You've seen the engagement photos and the bridal portraits. Now it's time to share with you the wedding images.

I love this portrait of Bonnie's grandparents. Very vintage!

The tea cups for the tea ceremony.

This time, it's Andrew's grandparents.

The special neckties for the groomsmen.

What would we be without our dramatic lights?

The bride's shoes that she wore during the tea ceremony.

Those earrings were tricky!

The ceremony was at the Burrard Dry Dock. Bonnie and her bridesmaid were running towards the dock leaving me behind snapping away.

Waiting for the ceremony to start.

Bonnie is allergic to certain metal elements so the natural choice for the wedding rings are these wooden rings made of ancient Kauri wood from New Zealand.

Sweets for the guests!

The long, long walk towards a waiting Andrew.

The ceremony

The dragon dance entertaining our couple and their guests.

AplusB had this antique typewriter for guests to write their well wishes!

More and more portraits!

The toast...

Naughty shenanigans during the reception. Yes, the egg was raw!

More drama...

Andrew and Bonnie, thank you for making us a part of your day. Hope you had a good rest during your honeymoon!
