Wedding Photographer Vancouver - The Wink Photography Blog

Wow…This post is long overdue. Sarah & Rob ’s wedding was the last one I shot before my “mat leave” (which in the self employed world just means ‘too pregnant to keep shooting’). I’ve been jumping all over the place with blog posts lately, but it’s time to get back on track chronologically with Sarah & Rob.

These two are SO much fun, and not surprisingly their friends and family were too. Sarah put so much work into making this day reflect who they are, and it showed. From the birdcage veil (yay!) to the Art Deco fonts and carefully restored vintage cake topper, no detail was overlooked.

Each of the guys had cufflinks specific to their personalities, and gorgeous hand-screenprinted ties. (I was even inspired to order one for David)

My favourite way to get over nervousness about being photographed? Gotta laugh it out.

What a beautifully designed/worded ceremony program.

I absolutely love the flabbergasted “We’re actually married now!” look that often ensues.

Time for a few more “formals”.

What a fun day. From the looks of it, your guests would agree too:

Eden and Jeff are a super cool couple who definitely make my job feel like anything but work. Their wedding day was relaxed, fun, and completely them.

You can also re-live the E-session antics here.

Eden and her mom wore matching bracelets.

A little pre-ceremony mingling

This sneaky bride doesn’t want to miss a thing.

Wedding tip: If formality isn’t for you, don’t force it. Greeting your groomsmen with a high five during the ceremony may be more your style.

I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again….I love this look on a groom’s face.

Outtake? No way!

Congratulations, you two!

I had the opportunity recently to do a little shoot for Glamourpuss Makeup. I love working with other small businesses within the wedding industry, and even more so when that small business belongs to my very talented sister.

She’s always been great with makeup, and with people, so I was thrilled to see her finally get her own business going last year. Her focus is on bridal makeup/hair, but she’s also available for fashion and boudoir shoots.

Here are a few shots from our session. Check out her website at www.glamourpussmakeup.ca

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!

So this is the furthest behind I’ve ever been in blogging, but for a good reason. This has been the busiest summer of my life, but luckily I’ve gotten to spend so many days of it doing what I love. Between the many weddings, engagement sessions, and other surprises up my sleeve….I’ve now got a lot of catching up to do. Getting the photos processed and in clients’ hands comes first, so unfortunately blogging tends to get put on the backburner.

So without further ado, here are Steph and John. (Who you may remember from their fun e-session in the spring). It was the hottest day Vancouver has ever seen, so the beachfront lawn at the Brock House was a lovely place to spend it.

Steph’s family had rented a gorgeous heritage home nearby (which I highly recommend doing!), so it was the perfect place to spend the morning getting ready.

The epitome of comfortable stylishness on such a hot summer day.

Mom and sister help the bride get ready.

Steph & John were one of my many couples now choosing to do a “first look” and see eachother before the ceremony. It’s a nice opportunity to have a little time together before the madness of the day begins, and get the photos done while still looking fresh and gorgeous.

Beaming!

Reactions like these to the announcement of being husband and wife just make my heart melt.

Now get this couple some champagne!

Beautiful and classic summer evening reception.

Many of the details were thoughtfully designed and crafted by the bride herself. Many of the emails I received before the wedding would come when she was up late sewing table runners or designing place cards.

Not your average view at a wedding.

Candy stations: A guaranteed hit every time.

And a Celebration of Light fireworks night….what a perfect way to end the evening.
