Wedding Photographer Vancouver - The Wink Photography Blog

I was recently asked to do a bunch of new headshots for the home stagers/ designers at Dekora Staging. Like many companies these days they agreed it was time to get out of the studio and do some relaxed natural light portraits. We managed to get through all the employees is under 4 hours, and have a great time doing it. If your company is in need of freshening up their look…I highly recommend not only putting a face to the company with some fun portraits, but getting out of the suits and studios.

You can see the rest of the photos and learn more about this fabulous company at www.dekora.com

Loryne & Josh, like most people new to being in front of the camera, were nervous about the engagement shoot when we discussed it at our first meeting. But on the day, they showed up dressed to kill with the attitudes of supermodels. We were able to have a great time with the session, which is always my main goalbecause these shoots should never feel like work.

As a result, this post may be a little photo heavy. I just couldn’t stop myself.

What a great day! Have I mentioned I love what I do?

These two possess one of my favourite qualities: they don’t take themselves, or anything for that matter, too seriously. Which is very valuable when going through planning a wedding. Sarah even kept a clever blog of the ideas and plans that led up to their recent wedding, which I’ll be blogging soon.

But first, here’s the lovely fall afternoon I spent with Sarah & Rob at Granville Island.

Remember I mentioned the lack of seriousness. Rob often likes to spontaneously take it to a new level.

Sarah’s pure enjoyment of it, and tendency to play along, is one of the things that makes them perfect for eachother.

Thanks guys!

Eden & Jeff’s September wedding is going to be out in Langley surrounded by greenery, so being the urban hipsters they are, we decided to go a little more gritty for the E-session. They first met at the Blarney Stone pub (love it!), so what better spot to start out their engagement session.

We managed to find a couple of unoccupied spots in Blood Alley. Luckily these two were so easy going, that even the crowd forming didn’t phase them a bit.

Did I mention these two were up for anything?

My favourite.

I like to leave in the photos that would normally be considered “outtakes”. Says a lot about a couple, and clearly we had some fun.

And back to glamour.

Awesome day, guys! Can’t wait to have a great time again on the wedding day….just a little more dressed up.

Steph and John are getting married in just a couple weeks, so I figured it’s about time I get around to blogging their E-session. They’ll be married at the Brock House restaurant on July 29th…also fireworks night!  What a treat for their big day to finish off with what will seem like a private fireworks show on the beach. Can’t wait!

In the meantime….meet Steph & John.

One thing I learned right from the first consultation, is that these two are not the types to take anything too seriously. We clicked right away, knowing that a good sense of humour is necessary if you want to make it through planning a wedding with your sanity in tact. John, however, didn’t want to make things easy for me. If it wasn’t for fast shutter speeds and a steady hand many of these pictures would be blurry, because of me either laughing with them, or scolding John like a strict teacher with a kid acting up in class. I do however love the result: people in love genuinely enjoying themselves, and eachother.

A brief serious moment.

They like to joke, but know how to rock it out when needed. (erik sure went to a lot of trouble to write his name under a bridge, didn’t he?)

So much giggling. I love it!

My favourite locations in this city are often a little rough…luckily my clients tend to be up for anything! Steph even crawled into a cement mixer, through some sort of glowing liquid….the things we do for art!

One of my fav’s of the day.

I believe the direction here was something to the effect of, “Cuddle in close and show her a little love, John”. Clearly open to interpretation.

That’s better!

This one makes me want to scream, “YEAH!!” at my computer. Nice work, guys. It was so much fun, can’t wait to see you at the wedding.
