Had a blast shooting Kendra and Michael a couple weeks back! We went to my favourite place to do any sort of photos…. GASTOWN! I really can’t pick a favourite from all of these. I’m gonna have a blast shooting their wedding this weekend! Love the cute expression Kendra has on her face. So mid...
Great shots on the stairs! Fun session.
Nice engagement session. You can tell that they really love each other. You can just feel the love through the images. Great job!
Beautiful shots. All the muted tones of the location are great with his red hair. Lovely set!
What a cute, super fun couple! I love all the angles and textures you brought into these images. Great work.
Nice shots 
Definitely got to love Gas town with its character. Looked like they had a blast!
Eleasha and Michael contacted me and were looking for some fun shots of them being them! They are both from Fort St. John, BC and decided to come in to the city for a bit of fun. They are getting married in Vegas very soon so they wanted something a bit different. We came up...

Looking back at Jacklyn and Alex they share many similarities to me and Rita. I first met J+A in Richmond when they were planning their wedding. During the meeting we both thought each other looked very familiar. It turns out that we all went to the same highschool, RHS! GO COLTS! In fact, that is...

What a sweet couple. Great job capturing their personalities and affection for each other.
Beautiful engagement session!
Lovely e-session! The shot of them in the middle of the street is beautiful! Lovely colors between the twilight sky and the warm streetlights. Very well done!
Here are some of my favourites from Agnes and Michael’s engagement shoot! We headed out to the new convention centre out in Downtown Vancouver. It overlooks a beautiful view of the mountains and also peeks of Stanley Park as well. I really love what they have done around this area. It was years back when...

Beautiful work. Really love the first photo 
I was contacted by a friend of Crystal and Kai that was coming to Vancouver after their recent wedding in Asia. I always photograph my couples before the wedding, during the wedding, and after the wedding. Never was I invited to participate in doing some photos during their honeymoon! (*hint hint*) It was such a...

I love couples that have a sense of who they are and nothing bets their personality shining through in a photo shoot.
Amazing session here!Phenomenal portrait lighting and an engagement session they will never forget, great work!
So here’s the story! Dustin contacted me a couple weeks back about doing some photos of him and his ‘girlfriend’ Tanya. With him being in Kamloops, we exchanged emails about a million time to stamp out the details! The plan was to go around Vancouver, take some photos, and at the end surprise Tanya with...

Was this really a surprise? That would be an awesome idea, to encourage the surprise engagement during a portrait session. Awesome pics!
These are really nice. How fun for the couple and the photographer.
Hey Ted, this was really a surprise! I loved the idea!
What a beautiful couple, the shots at Stanley Park look colourful and stunning!
This was one awesome shoot. Meeting for the first time, I didn’t know what to expect. But one look and this couple’s got a unique style to them. We started out in Yaletown and then headed up to Gastown when the light dropped. We really like to draw from each couple’s personality in our engagement...

That’s a great engagement session. Keep up the great work!! Dig your stuff.
Fall is one of my favorite season for photos! The colors are always soooo pretty and it’s just the right temperature to break out the jackets! Van Dusen was awesome as usual! So much variety there and we actually caught it on a semi sunny day! Claire and Robert will be getting married soon at...
