Ali & Simon – Downtown Vancouver E-session

Well hello there! Fancy meeting you here ;)

Our latest E-Session we’d like to tell you about is that of Ali and Simon. We had a lot of fun on this cold winter day (back when winter = cold in this town.) One thing we LOVE is fun. But really, who DOESN’T love fun? I mean, you’d have to be weird not love having fun, right? :P

We met up with this cute couple at Jean Beaty park in Point Grey. Simon proposed to Ali in this park, so it was a great place to start.

We then moved on to downtown Vancouver and shot a bit around Robson Square. They had started setting up the new zipline for the Olympics, so there were a lot of blue fences up. We still got a lot of great shots in, though.

There’s a red coil-shaped sculpture in Robson Square, and Ali and Simon wanted to do a few fun shots in there. Remember what I said earlier about loving fun stuff? Well, of course we were game ;)

One thing that they had mentioned to us when we first met with them was that they loved the use of off-camera lighting. We shot their engagement session an hour before sunset, so we got to do a lot of off-camera lighting.

Ohhhhhh Caaaaa NaaDaaaaaa!! ;) The Hotel Georgia is under major renovations and right now the entire building is covered in a huge Canadian flag. We decided that it was a great backdrop to use, so here ya go ;)

Lastly, I’ll leave you with this. They wanted to have some fun with jumping shots, so we took a few shots and they turned out excellent :D So… I guess the theme for this shoot was… fun? ;D

Thanks Ali and Simon! We’re really looking forward to your wedding!
