Vancouver Engagement: Warren+Roxy

We love how our clients are really taking on the engagement sessions as a reflection of who they are as wonderful individuals and who they are as inspiring couples. And we couldn't be more excited when Warren and Roxy sent us a list of everything that they wanted to incorporate in the shoot! Unfortunately, the weather was not ideal for everything we had planned, we did a last minute location change and time ran out on us but we still ended up with an awesome session!

The lush forest of North Vancouver has been a favorite location for our clients of late. We can't complain especially when it serves such a serene background. And it's even more perfect when you have clients who leave the warmth of sunny California for the natural beauty of Vancouver, the place that Roxy and Warren has come home to.

We pretty much had the forest to ourselves and it made the moment more hauntingly beautiful with Warren's talent in making his violin sing.

We did a bit of playing around with Warren and his camera, capturing his favorite subject, Roxy.

Yeah, these two are just pros in front of the camera.

... and Warren was bringing it! Whoa!

We had planned to have a few fun shots on the slopes. But if the Winter Olympics had to make do with the mild weather, so can we!

And what snow would NOT melt with these two???

After over an hour out in the cold, Roxy and Warren decided to warm it up a bit more indoors... like the bathroom. Haha!

I hope you enjoy the rest of the images from our session!

Warren and Roxy, you are both awesome to work with! Even though we missed some of our planned shots, it just makes us even more excited for the wedding day itself!

Pelaez Photography Comes Full Circle!

When we left the Philippines 7 years ago, we didn't think we would ever get into the business of wedding photography. We are grateful for what we've achieved and to be recognized in our native country is a humbling experience indeed.

Below are the two blogs based in the Philippines where you can find our images featured.

WE ♥ weddings is a blog by the editors of the Wedding Essentials magazine, the premiere Wedding magazine published in the Philippines. They just recently started a blog as a supplement to the magazine and we are honoured to be one of their first featured photographers.

Another blog where some of our images are being used to accompany their articles is Poptastic Bride. This blog mainly targets international brides and focuses on giving brides inspiration for their wedding.

Thank you to Cynthia Bauzon-Arre for thinking of us! We hope we get an opportunity to come back home soon and photograph a Filipino wedding at our gorgeous locations in the Philippines!

Pelaez Photography in the New World of Weddings

We always get excited whenever we feature multi-cultural weddings. I'm sure you've picked that up from our past blog posts. We're really lucky that Vancouver is such a diverse place where weddings are celebrated with the best of cultural traditions. So imagine our excitement when Fri Bailey contacted us directly to feature Ayaz and Debbie's multi-cultural wedding on the US-based blog, Wedding Nouveau. Wedding Nouveau focuses on the style fusion of weddings from different cultural backgrounds. Head on over to her blog and you'll find a treasure trove of inspiration.
