Yaletown Vancouver Engagement: Corey + Melissa

We first met Melissa and Corey in the summer of 2008. We've seen them three times since then, each occasion being the awesome wedding of three of their closest friends: Cristina + Dennis, Jan + Jason and Andrea + Ryan. We couldn't be more thrilled that they came to us as it just feels like an opportunity to photograph an old friend!

Melissa was a bridesmaid in 2 of the weddings we saw her at and spending an entire day with her, we knew how bubbly and fun she was going to be at their engagement session. Corey, on the other hand, was a surprise to us! As a general rule, I'm a little bit more cautious with how to approach photographing grooms but Corey was as much fun as Melissa. There was no doubt why and how much these two are just meant for each other!

Corey and Melissa, we're looking forward to the laughs we're going to have at your wedding! It's going to be a blast!

Stanley Park Wedding: Warren + Roxy *Just Married*

Warren and Roxy's wedding was an event celebrating their homecoming. After spending time in sunny California for the most part of their relationship, their wedding day was a homecoming to Vancouver. After some time apart, they discovered each other again and fell in love. This day is their homecoming to each other. They could not have picked a better backdrop for their wedding as nothing can represent what they love more about Vancouver than Stanley Park and the weather could not have been any more characteristic (not to mention more different than SoCal) than the wet day we had last April 24, 2010.

Instead of a dull grey haze, we actually had dark angry clouds that day that made for great background for our portraits!

Vancouver has a pretty nice skyline too!

Almost time for the wedding! I found Roxy holding on to the gorgeous flowers.

Warren played the violin while Roxy walked down the aisle!

OK, so there's really nothing special about this shot, just a normal recessional photo BUT I still thought that the timing was impeccable that made Rico and I laugh while culling through the images. I hope Warren and Roxy think it's funny, too!

This boy was such a ham! He LOVED getting his photo taken while showing off how to blow bubbles!

Just before dinner, the weather turned for the better and we took advantage of the sky showing off its colors at different times that night, first at sunset...

... dusk...

and midnight...

Thanks, Warren and Roxy! We hope you enjoy these teasers! We look forward to sharing with you the complete set!
