Thank you to all my amazing clients who have supported my for the past eight years in Vancouver!
In an age where everyone has a digital camera many people feel they can hire just anyone to photographer their Vancouver Wedding, and they question why are Vancouver Wedding Photographers so expensive?
Here is a basic cost breakdown for a typical eight hour Vancouver Wedding.
Typically a Vancouver Wedding Photographer meets with the bride and groom several times before and after the wedding, there is usually a consultation, multiple emails back and forth, a pre wedding walk through or an engagement session.
Then the eight hours on the wedding day plus travel time to the wedding and back.
The next step a Vancouver Wedding Photographer will take is to spend time downloading, backing up files, blogging, and editing, for most professional Vancouver wedding photographers this is approximately 25 to 30 hours.
When all the time is added up a typical Vancouver Wedding Photographer will spend 30 to 40 hours per wedding.
Your photographer is more that just your photographer for the day they are typically looked to for advice on how the day will run and what vendors to hire, the wedding photographer will generally become your portrait photographer for life, someone who documents your growing family for generations.
I’ve teamed up with studio mate and good friend Kari Heese for a 2009 Holiday promo, we are please to offer mini holiday sessions at our studio next Wednesday Dec, 2, 2009. We will also be collecting food for the Vancouver food bank at this time to help spread a little holiday cheer.
Call to book as space is very limited and we are filling up fast.

I was excited to work with the fabulous Fran Chelico for the wedding of Lucia-Anna and Bryce. The day started out at the beautiful St Francis of Assisi Parish in Vancouver followed by the reception at the Diamond Alumni Centre at SFU. Luckily the weather held up following the ceremony and we were able to catch some amazing light up at SFU for the portraits prior to the reception starting. I always love when I find new and exciting place to photograph couples on their wedding and Fran and I found a great spot to do some killer portraits of the pair. Here are some of the highlights from the day.
I always give myself little projects of the day when shooting, this wedding was reflections.
It’s really close to crunch time for me, I’m leaving for Copenhagen in less the 24 hours and have two photoshoots and all my packing still to do, but wanted to get this post up before I leave! I’ve been so blessed this year with the absolute most easy going couples and Wayne and Tanya carried on the trend. Their day started out at the Unitarian Church of Vancouver, followed by portraits around Downtown Vancouver and then the reception at Floata Restaurant in Chinatown.
This is the raw camera image, the light was amazing
I have to apologize first for the lateness of this post and second that it is going to be a short one. I met with Jennifer in the Spring for her September wedding at Seasons in the Park. Jennifer and Micheal were referred to me through past clients whose Vancouver Wedding I was the photographer at 4 years ago, it’s always an honor for me when clients refer me and I’m very blessed that more then half of my weddings come to me as referrals. I headed out to Queen Elizabeth Park to meet up with the wedding party and take some pre ceremony pictures it was such a fun afternoon with a laid back wedding park. Thank you so much for including me in your day heres a sneak peak of what to come.

When I woke up to the pouring rain, I was really dissapointed, not because it was raining, I actually like shooting in the rain but because I really love Jen and Joel and wanted their day to be perfect for them. As Libby and I headed to Temple Sholom in Vancouver the clouds broke and the rain stopped! We started out by taking photos of Jen getting ready, followed by the ceremony, reception and at the end of the afternoon we headed downtown with the happily married couple to do some portraits. Here are some of my favorite from the day. Thanks you two for being two of the funniest and easy going people i’ve ever met.

I love this photo of Jen's crinoline
What more could a photographer ask for then a fabulous couple, fun wedding party, fantastic venue and hot day? We started out at the amazing Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver where the girls were getting ready, then off to Holy Rosary Cathedral for the ceremony, some urban portraits in downtown Vancouver and back to the Four Seasons for the reception. Thank you so much to Lotus Events for making the day run so smoothly and putting together a stunning backdrop for the reception. And thank you so much to Alycia and Chris for trusting and allowing me creative control to me to document your day, you two are rockstars!

The stunning bride
Its rare that I don’t meet a couple until the day of the wedding, but Phil had found me online and booked right away and there wasn’t a chance to meet with them before the day. It was a very sunny and hot Thursday afternoon, when I walked into the backyard of their Vancouver house and finally met them I knew the day was going to be totally easygoing and fun. Emily and Phil have been together for a number of years going through the trials and tribulations of life and they finally decided to tie the knot. They have two stunning children and are surrounded by so many wonderful family and friends, I was honored to be a part of your day. Here are some of my favorite photos.
