Wow….I think this post is going to be huge as I really want to post every single image from Ali & Simon’s wedding! I’ll do my best on the image count and I’ll also try to restrain myself from blabbering too much too…no promises though

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
