Les & Michelle 9.27.08

A strange turn of events happened as to how I got to be a second shooter for my girlfriend Robin's brother's wedding...phew...

I have been hearing about this wedding for awhile and had hoped that I could be a part of it, but Michelle had already booked another photographer. Soooo I didn't think twice when Amber was looking for a second shooter...I told her I was available...great! Then I started talking to Robin about how I was second shooting a wedding on Saturday with another photographer...and Bingo Bongo...we realized I would indeed be at her brother's wedding! What a hoot!

Everything was just lovely...Michelle was stunning...Les was very dapper in a custom made tuxedo...the ring bearer and flower girl were absolutely adorable...the food was delicious at the Fairmont Vancouver Hotel and Dal Richards and his Big Band Orchestra were there to rock the house! It was also a pleasure working and getting to know a fellow photographer...thanks Amber for letting me come out to play.

I didn't get a chance to get many photos since I was mostly there to assist....but here are some of my shots from the day...Les & Michelle: Bet you are having a BLAST in Italy!!! I wish you many years of happiness.

I love the way Michelle is looking at Les here...

love this moment... Michelle didn't want any detail shots...but I snuck one in anyways while Amber was doing her thing :)
After a short photosession at the Marine Building we started walking back to the reception.

I love the feel of movement in this photo! Them dancing to the amazing music of Big Band.

And last...the kids just about done for the day....

Leslie & Leigh 9.07.08

Yesterday I had the pleasure of being a second shooter for Kristel Wyman at Leslie & Leigh's wedding. It was really great meeting someone else in the industry and being able to shoot together (and share some tricks ;)...thanks Kristel...you were a joy to be around....as were Leslie & Leigh. They were very welcoming and incredibly calm and easy going! They got married in Stanley Park in a lovely ceremony on the grass, overlooking the ocean...and later held a cocktail party at the Sequoia Grill! That restaurant is amazing! Have fun in Italy!!!

We had a bit of time on our hands so we kinda went nuts on the ring shots! But how fun are these?!?!?!

Bride & Groom dancing with her parents watching ... thought this was a sweet moment.
Cool reflections...
Leslie & Leigh met playing Volleyball...love this shot!

Thanks for a great day!

Raymond & Rosana 8.30.08

After raining all week, I was extremely happy to see the sun come out on Saturday morning!! The day started with the girls getting ready at the Fairmont Hotel and then we were off to Rosana's parents house for the first tea ceremony and for the games to begin ;). The ceremony was at the beautiful Shaunassey United Church...then off to Gastown and Jericho Beach for some fun photoshoots...then off to the University Golf Club for another tea ceremony, a lovely dinner, some funny speeches/slideshows and then dancing! Congrats R & R ... have a blast in Vegas!!

Al trying to bribe their way into the house... The ladies stayin' strong ;)

Fake money isn't gonna cut it....

Raymond finally gets in to see his gorgeous bride!

Waiting for the lovely Rosana to walk down the aisle... The little flower girl kept fixing her aunt's dress...too cute!
