Funky Terminal City Club Wedding: Ryan+Andrea Just Married!

Can we ever post something with no mention of Vancouver weather? I think not... :)

It's been absolutely gorgeous and uncharacteristically dry in Vancouver lately that I'm sure every weekend, some bride in the Lower Mainland is offering something up to the rain gods to ensure that the jinx won't fall on their wedding day. A week before Ryan and Andrea's wedding, she sent me an e-mail in the wee hours of the morning worrying about the 90% chance of rain forecast for her June 28th wedding. Whatever prayer she offered to turn the weather forecast in her favor really worked.

We spent that glorious day photographing Ryan and Andrea at Dr. Sun Yat Sen Gardens, the new Vancouver Convention Centre and the beautiful Terminal City Club!

Andrea getting made up by Ai Nagasawa, who've made some of our past brides (Janine and Cristina) into gorgeous, blushing brides!

The gorgeous dress by Paloma Blanca!

No, you're not seeing double with minor variations, that's Kristian, Ryan's twin brother.

Andrea is just stunning!

Bride's shoes by Roberto Vianni.

This shot was right after the kiss and I thought it just speaks of the joy these two must've felt.

The ladies in their BCBG frocks.

Then off to the Vancouver Convention Centre for more!

Terminal City Club, all decked out with shades of pink and brown. Decor by Lisa Gregory.

The talented Naso brothers playing for Andrea to see how well she really knows Ryan's music.

More "Guess which Naso twin said I do!"

It's these times I wish I was a videographer. Kristian sang his whole speech to the tune of "The Gambler" which had the room in stitches and singing along to the chorus...

You got to know when to hold 'em,
Know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away
And know when to run...

I was really looking forward to the live music from this wedding. Fabulous set from the funky band, The Deep End, with Kristian on trumpet.

Members of the Five Alarm Funk band grooving to the music.

And it's FAF's turn. Ryan, who plays the trumpet, got the day off. Nonetheless, the band rocked the night away!

Anyone who's been to Terminal City Club would know of it's beautiful stained glass dome in the middle of the lobby. We thought we'd get a photo with it.

Congrats, Ryan and Andrea! Thanks for making us a part of your day. You know I'm extremely jealous of your honeymoon in France! :)

Glam Portraits: Brittany, Sweet Sixteen

It's been a year since we last photographed Brittany. She just turned 15 then and now, at sixteen, she's really blossoming into a looker. Check and see!

Ryan+Andrea's Wedding Partybooth

A great way for brides and grooms to remind them of the guests who came to celebrate their marriage would be to have a photobooth where friends and family can document how much fun they're having at the wedding. For weddings in Vancouver, we would recommend the services of Photobooth Vancouver in a heartbeat but some of our clients do request our partybooth. Here are some of our fave shots from Ryan and Andrea's Partybooth at Terminal City Club.

Our bride and groom, Andrea and Ryan!

Our past bride, Jan, was Andrea's matron of honour.

... and Jan's hubby, our past groom, Jason!

No directions required! Just bring it! Haha!

Stay tuned for Ryan and Andrea's wedding at Dr. Sun Yat Sen Gardens and Terminal City Club!
