I can’t believe a year has flown by already. It was such a big year, (wedding, home building, and baby on the way!) and I’m sure your 2010 will be even more incredible. Congratulations, guys!

Tyler & Amy Tie the Knot!
You may remember Tyler & Amy from their engagement shoot at the firehall a few months back. Their January 24th wedding took place 10 years to the day since they first met, when Tyler was the firefighter who showed up to put out Amy’s small cooking accident.
The festivities took place at the gorgeous River Rock Casino in Richmond, and their penthouse was a great spot for a giggly girls morning. I warn you, this post is going to be photo heavy, but I had trouble narrowing it down.
Hair & Makeup were done by the fantastic Jinesa & Nicole from Pamper Me Pretty. www.pampermepretty.com
Coincidentally, I hired Pamper Me Pretty to do hair & makeup at my wedding almost 5 years ago!
The girls were stylish in silver heels, and the clutch was Amy’s grandmother’s.
I’m sorry Cathy, but this moment is just too precious to ignore.
Meanwhile, my lovely & talented assistant Andrea was chillin’ with the boys.
Their confusion in this photo is priceless. “What do we do with these”?!
Had time to grab a few fun shots with the family before the limo arrived. Makes it easy to do family photos in the morning when your bridesmaids are your sisters!
Gotta love window light!
The ceremony took place at Our Saviour Lutheran Church in Richmond. www.oursaviour.ca
Papparazzi! The adoring fans of the newlyweds.
I think my favourite thing about being around Amy & Tyler (and their families) is the laughter. No stiff poses for this group!
Think they might be related?
Off to the boardwalk with the wedding party for some photo time. One of my favourite shots of the day.
Such a sweet moment.
They were all such troopers even though they were shivering. These poor girls in strapless dresses in January didn’t let a little cold stop them, and had a great time taking some fun photos.
Caught a couple more little moments before we headed off to the reception.
First dance. I love to see this look on a groom’s face.
As a photographer, I get so excited when some sort of crazy group dance breaks out at a wedding, and this crew didn’t let me down. A little Ra Ra Rasputin really gets a crowd going!
I had a fantastic time, guys, and it’s been great getting to know you. I really appreciate being considered more like a new friend than a vendor. Congratulations!

Neeru & Gary’s Wedding Extravaganza
Okay, so I’ve been a little behind with the posts lately. But here I am getting back on track, with Neeru and Gary’s two day wedding extravaganza. (This was after their 5 days of parties and ceremonies at home). Neeru was happy to introduce me to the world of the Indian wedding, and even assigned her cousin Angela to be my guide throughout the day. I was so blown away by the beauty of the wedding ceremony traditions, and even more thrilled by the awesome party that followed.
Neeru sees herself fully made up for the first time, and can’t believe the change.
The bride looks stunning, being escorted in to the gurdwara by her parents.
The couple aren’t traditionally supposed to look at each other during the ceremony, but Gary can’t help but sneak a smile at her.
We head over to Minoru Park in Richmond after the ceremony, and can’t resist the gorgeous old willow tree.
And much like myself, these two don’t like to take things too seriously.
Then it was time for day 2, the traditional western white dress/tux, and a rockin’ reception.
We head back out for another photo shoot, but mother nature was not so kind to us this day.
There were several traditional dance performances to kick off the party.
Neeru’s bouquet toss was with a break-apart bouquet so everyone would get a rose.
Let the dancing begin. Gary’s dad is the first on the dance floor, learning some new moves from Neeru’s family.
The bride has one final clothing change to finish off the night.
And this shot just makes me smile.
Thanks for a great time, guys! It was an experience I’ll never forget.
