Grouse Mountain Winter Wedding - Elizabeth and Trevor

Liz and Trevor's Intimate Winter Wedding at Altitudes Restaurant on Grouse Mountain // Vancouver Island Wedding Photographers

The temperature is soaring in Vancouver this week, and it seems like summer has come early.  So today, we're posting Liz and Trevor's Grouse Mountain wedding to cool you all off. 

Our first experience with Liz and Trevor was the time we shot their surprise proposal at the Grouse Mountain sleigh ride.  We were really excited to make our way back up Grouse Mountain to shoot their wedding, at the same place they got got engaged! What a treat.

We started off with Liz and Trevor's first look on the staircase in the Grouse lodge, with their bridal party looking on.  Then we ventured out onto the snow capped mountain for group photos before heading over to Capilano Heights for their ceremony with friends and family. Kudos to this group for braving the chilly mountain weather like champs, while we stayed warm in our winter boots and jackets.

After the ceremony, it was time for portraits with Liz and Trevor.  We had a great time with with these two, wandering around the mountain in the snow.  They were super silly and sweet together, and even told us they did some practicing with posing before the wedding. It was fun to watch them ham it up for the camera, which made for lots of great candid moments and laughs!

Liz and Trevor's reception at Altitudes Restaurant was a rockin' good time. They even had a special guest come to teach everyone at the wedding how to do the céilidh.  We made ourselves dizzy in the excitement of capturing all their guests twirling, and dancing, and spinning about with the biggest smiles on all their faces. It turned out to be the biggest group dance session we've ever been in the centre of.  How awesome!  

As the evening came to an end, the snow started to fall, finishing off a perfect snowy spring day.  

Thanks for having us there to capture your day, Liz and Trevor. Congratulations again, we hope you love the photos!

Jericho Beach Sunset Engagement - Britney and Matt

Britney and Matt Enjoy a Gorgeous Sunset at Jericho Beach During Their Engagement Photo Session // Victoria Wedding Photographers

Vancouver has been having a pretty great string of weather over the last few weeks and we’ve been taking advantage of every minute of sunshine.

Last week we met up with Britney and Matt to do some engagement photos at Jericho Beach.  Britney and Matt are in the midst of planning their December destination wedding, and wanted their engagement photos to reflect their life here in Vancouver.  With Jericho Beach being a favourite haunt of theirs, we decided it would make great place to capture their dynamic, and bits of their relationship together.

We arrived to golden light, budding willows, and teams of ducks flying about.  Since Britney is a biologist, and can rattle off all the names and details of every aviary around, we had some fun corralling ducks to play extras in some of our photos.  After a stroll around the ponds, we made our way over the the beach to get some sand between our toes, and check out the views of the city, mountains, and of course, the sunset.

Thanks Britney and Matt for trekking around Jericho with us! We had fun lots of fun getting to know the two of you.  We hope you love the photos!
