I started my day with the girls getting ready at the Cherry Blossom Bed & Breakfast in Kerrisdale, while Nick took off to the Landis Hotel downtown for the guys. I don’t go to Bed & Breakfasts very often, but I think I might have to because this place was insanely gorgeous and a wonderful way to relax. It certainly showed because Ali & her girls were calm and collected the entire morning.

Okay, I think I’m going to break my promise about keeping the image count in check…  But really, it’s not a bad broken promise

I just have to take a minute to point out how awesome Ali is. While she was getting her hair done, she says to me, “I was wondering if I got in the tub if it would be a great picture…” I almost fell over because I was thinking of ways to ask her to get into the tub for some portraits! With a few minutes left before running out the door she climbed in and I snapped away…

Now while the girls were relaxing in style…so were the guys – with a pedicure! The guys really enjoyed it and had a bit of fun with it too! When they met up with the girls later, they remarked on why they were never let in on the whole Spa experience before….

Ceremony! When I look at this image I get caught up in the emotion and spill a few happy tears   I am soooo in love with it

Portraits!

Ali, you are so beautiful

Their ceremony & reception were held in the Uber Lounge at Steamworks Brewing Company and also in the lobby of The Landing (which is right next door).  They had a cocktail-style reception which was fabulous because they could mix and mingle with all of their guests with ease.

Ali & Simon had a bit of fun with their cupcake tower!  I really could not help but laugh – a lot!

Ali & Simon, Nick and I had a fabulous time photographing your wedding and meeting all of your friends and family. Congratulations on everything both of you have achieved so far and for everything you have yet to reach in the future

Bernice. Jack. They’re fun kids. It’s true! Observe…

A few weeks back we met up downtown and started out at the infamous “Gold door.” What’s that you say? You have NO IDEA what I’m talking about? Well here, lemme show you

From there we walked over to Gastown and took advantage of some of the nice textures. I think Gastown is a funny name. There’s not a single gas station there or anything!!

Off now to another town, this time of the Yale variety! I love shooting at the roundhouse. It’s got some cool lines and there’s so much history behind the building (I LOVE Vancouver History). There’s also a spot where, if you stand there and talk all the echoes bounce right back to you and it sounds really cool.

Well my friends, that is all I have for this post. Stay tuned for more yummy goodness. No really, yummy! We have cupcakes to blog from Vancouver’s first Cupcake Challenge!

This last one has me in it… ya, we had fun too

Our first stop was the Chinese gardens near Downtown. I’d never been there before, and it was really cool.

After the Chinese gardens, we made a stop in Gastown. They looks so cute

After Gastown we went to Stanley Park. Yep, we were hitting it up all over town!

Who doesn’t like a good kiss on the rocks? Mmmm… I wonder if there’s a drink called “Kiss on the rocks”

Our final stop in the Downtown area was at the Library.

Well, that’s it for this round, Kiddies! Thanks for stopping by

I love the mix of colours in this shot.

We didn’t even plan on this location! We were just walking by and they pulled us into the alley way and we started shooting!

I think this one is our favourite!
