We still have a few months of weddings to share with all of you out there! As much as we’d love to share every single wedding that we have photographed in 2011… that’s just not going to be possible! But as always, we will share some of our favourites whether it’s large or private! Today’s feature wedding was a more private one with just the family of Jean and Romano’s! The pretty and lovely Jean is a former colleague of Gina’s so it was no question that Gina was excited to capture the intimate ceremony and celebration at the top of Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver at the Observatory Restaurant! The newlywed couple posed for some great photos under fantastic Summer sun at the top of the hill. Congratulations to Jean and Romano! Cheers to many happy years!

Here’s a little fun piece… Have you seen this week’s Georgia Straight? Well the cover is nice and pink and Chris took this photo of the cover girl! The headshots/fitness shoot with Sarah was tons of fun! The real story though is of Sarah Jamieson, who is doing great things for the world through her love for fitness! Could you imagine yourself running 6 kms everyday for a full year? I know I can’t! She has made it a goal to raise $1 Million by the age of 35 and she’s over $800,000 already!
Her latest campaign just kicked off! Sarah will be supporting CARE Canada by running a 3 month campaign, which kicks off International Women’s Day from Mar 8, 2012 – May 20, 2012. Her goal (and she will beat it) is to raise $20,000 in support of CARE Canada’s key projects empowering women and girls. Visit her personal blog site to see how you can become a sponsor or volunteer – CLICK HERE TO VISIT SITE.
So while so many of us go through life, day by day, bickering about where to eat or who said what… There are people like Sarah who go above and beyond… starting each new year by working hard to give people around the world (who don’t have time to worry about little things like us) a chance to have a voice, be educated, and the right to survive. Go Sarah and thank you for being so selfless!

Okay… blog break is over! Back to our feature weddings! Today we’re pleased to present you with… (drum roll)… Connie and Kenny’s big special day! Chinese weddings are always full of fun things happening all day so it’s no surprise that I tend to overkill these posts with tons of photos! The day started with door games and then a Chinese traditional tea ceremony at Connie’s parents’ home then it was off to the beautiful Hycroft manor for some photos and a tea ceremony with Kenny’s parents. And oh yeah, this was really cool… Kenny showed up for the door games on his Gixxer (Sport Motorbike for those of you unfamiliar with the nickname)! For the rest of the photos, Gina and the wedding party went to Iona Beach by the airport in Richmond, Richmond City Hall, and then it was off to Shiang Garden Seafood Restaurant for a big party of a reception! The wedding party entered into the ballroom to LMFAO’s Party Rock Anthem, BUT… complete with costumes! Yes… robot box head was there! Shout out to Desy from RF Productions who captured the video for the day! Do they look familiar? Maybe that’s because you’ve seen their photo booth photos (HERE) or their engagement photo shoot (HERE) in a previous blog post!

Peferct shot! Thanks for your post!
Gina and Chris took a night off to enjoy the Michael Jackson Immortal Tour show at Rogers Arena. The night was organized and hosted by the incredible people at Marriott Pinnacle Downtown Vancouver staff led by the ever-lovely Koreena! By the way, if you haven’t checked out their recently renovated ballrooms, you should check it out HERE! As you can see from the photos, one of the newly-renovated ballrooms was converted into a funky and hip party room for the evening’s guests. Okay so we brought the camera on a day off but so glad we did! The evening started with amazing food catered by the Marriott catering team and the evening ended with an amazing cirque show performed to the beats of the late MJ! Extra awesome time as Harumi from Harumi Signature Weddings and Events and Kathleen from Real Weddings also took in the show with us that night! Great fun and thank you Koreena and the Marriott for the invitation!

You have some extremely creative ideas and the photos are beautiful.
Chinese weddings are always lots of fun right from the get go! With door games in the morning to tea ceremonies to reception games, it’s a day full of chuckles and fun! Christine and David’s wedding was just that and more! The morning started with door games and a tea ceremony at Christine’s house, then it was off to David’s house for the second portion of the tea ceremony. A lovely ceremony at the Celebration Pavilion at Queen Elizabeth Park, followed by the wedding party photo shoot at Richmond City Hall and a finally a wonderful reception at Jade Seafood Restaurant in Richmond to close off the perfect day! Christine kept the guests wowed with her 4 wardrobe changes and boy did she look beautiful in each dress! Congratulations Christine and David!

Wow! It has been a while since we posted a family shoot, but yes… in between the weddings and during the colder months, we are busy with family photoshoots! The added benefit is when we get to capture old friends and their kids growing up right in front of our cameras! Today we’re featuring the Chu family and their session at Queen Elizabeth Park! Enjoy!

I’m really happy to feature Deana and Andrew’s lovely wedding on our le blog today! Gina and I had the opportunity and the honour to shoot this lovely couple’s big day. The ceremony was amazing at the UBC Rose Garden. Quite warm and bright with the sun shining overhead throughout the entire day, but of course… it’s better than rain right?! Due to it being a Festival of Lights fireworks night, we had to work fast at the Olympic Village but we got our shots! The evening ended at the always-awesome Capilano Golf Course in West Vancouver. Shout out to fellow photog: Roger Hur who was part of the slick groomsmen. Congratulations to Deana and Andrew!

Taking a slight break from the Christmas parties before we’re back at it tomorrow! I thought it was suitable to feature a Westwood Plateau wedding from this past Summer seeing as we’ll be there tomorrow for the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce Annual X’mas Luncheon! Today’s feature wedding is Rita and Kevin’s big day at the Plateau! Definitely a lovely couple and together with the wedding party, we went to the Marine Building and the Vancouver Convention Centre downtown for the main part of the photoshoot. And of course, how we could we not grab some shots at Westwood before the ceremony and reception! Congratulations to Kevin and Rita! Cheers to many happy years!

We’re so happy that we can take the opportunity to share this amazing wedding that we photographed of our good friends Winnie and Pierson this past Summer! Right from the getting ready part of the day to the final song at the reception… the entire day was just awesome! The ceremony took place at the Canadian Memorial Church where we were able to also get some lovely photos outside in front of the beautiful doors and archways. From there we had a totally un-rushed photoshoot with the wedding party in Steveston and at the Olympic Village. From there we moved on to Shiang Garden Restaurant in Richmond for a wonderful reception with lots of games, photoboothing and dancing! Oh and of course a delicious 12-course Chinese banquet! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Lam! Here’s to all the many happy years ahead!

Before Alice and Todd’s destination wedding this past October, they booked The Hycroft Manor in Vancouver for a lovely e-session with Gina. We always love shooting at The Hycroft! There are so many rooms for great shots and the garden is of course well maintained and great for photos too! And for a lovely couple like Alice and Todd, the extra privacy for the shoot also adds to the mood and it was just so great to see their love for each other come out during the shoot. Congratulations Alice and Todd! Many cheers to happy years!
