Patricia & Edwin

After attending the rehearsal, the real wedding was finally here. It was a romantic wedding located at the back yard under the big willows. The backyard has been nicely decorated by a friend of the bride who travelled all the way from the US. It seemed everything has been set and the wedding should run as we expected at the rehearsal. 

After all, everything was not real until you were on the real wedding. The groom really couldn't help to cry like a baby during the ceremony. I was touched by the scene too. I was about to cry and could not hold my camera steadily. The groom looks like a tough man. However, no one can hide their tears of joy when their soul mate officially become the wife. 

Granville Island Hotel Wedding | Lana + Chris

 “I belong to sea” , Lana once said that to her mother. I did both engagement session and wedding for this lovely couple. One thing I can remember most was that Lana likes the sea so much. She specifically pointed out that she would like to do her engagement session by the water. Without surprise, she would have her wedding by the water, which is Granville Island hotel. 

On her wedding day, it happened to be the boat festival. This was such a bonus for this couple. There were many boats in Granville Island. I could tell how happy she was on that day. After knowing that we were allowed to take photos on the boat, Lana really could not help to smile. 

“This is so Lana", she said, happily. 

Lighthouse Park Engagement | Evelyn + Philipp

This is the second day of 2016. The whole Vancouver was suddenly surrounded by the fog. I was so excited about the foggy weather because it had created a dreamy effect on today's engagement session. The harsh sunlight has been softened and this is the perfect lighting situation that I have been dreaming of!!

Maryam & Chris

This is my first Persian Wedding. Wow, this wedding is full of dancing and dancing. I am really thankful to this couples for trusting me for the first Persian wedding, and I did not let them down. During the shooting, I could not help to dance with all those dancing lover guest with the music. I carried my camera, dancing with all people so that I could really blend in and no one will see me like a total stranger. 

I wish I could shoot more Persian weddings in the future. There are really a lot of entertainments during the wedding, which not only cheer up the guests but also me as well!! 

Point Grey Country Club Wedding | Regan + Aidan

I still remember how Regan was excited and nervous about being the bride. During shooting the preparation, Regan was so freaked out because she could not figure out how to wear her necklace! Time was ticking, she was about to call someone for help. I stopped shooting and somehow I figured how to wear. Such a relief! 

It is really normal to panic on their big day. No matter how perfect the rehearsal is, the unexpected is probably the most precious gift on the wedding day.
