Latest buzz from Vancouver Wedding Photographer Blü Studio Photography
Warren and Sumiyo got married out of town but decided to have a big wedding reception in Vancouver for their local friends and family. They opted for the beautiful Renaissance Hotel in downtown Vancouver and what a fun time it was! The couple included all the important elements of a wedding reception… fun, emotion, family, friends and a chocolate fountain!
A wedding season in Vancouver is never complete without a trip to the Chapel in Queen Elizabeth Park! This time we were shooting the wedding of Peter & Stephanie who had travelled up from Oregon for the occasion. We had met the couple for the first time just a couple of months earlier when we shot their engagement session at the Dr Sun Yat Sen Chinese Garden in Vancouver. That was a fun shoot and we were treated to nothing less on the wedding day too!
Our final engagement session of 2011 took us to Granville Island to meet with Mike & Peggy. The couple were here on a visit from Calgary and it was a real pleasure to show them around one of Vancouver’s most iconic attractions!
The weather was perfect for an engagement shoot, warm and not too sunny! We hadn’t met Mike & Peggy before and didn’t even know what they looked like. As we approached the meeting place we saw a nicely dressed couple underneath a big bouquet of balloons and thought “That has to be them!”. Of course, it was them and the balloons made an awesome prop for the session!
We don’t get to shoot many backyard weddings but what a fun time we had at Trevor and Amanda’s! The house was absolutely beautiful and the setup in the garden was second to none with a gorgeous alter and huge tent for the reception.
We started the day with some getting ready shots around the house before a first look moment outside for the bride and groom. Then, it was on to the ceremony which was really fabulous! It was very very easy to forget we were in a backyard! The family had made it nicer than some of the other wedding venues we go to!
Gil & Rozeela tied the knot last summer at Vancouver’s Stanley Park Pavilion. We’d shot there before and like the previous times the ceremony took place on the lawn outside. This was the first time we’d seen the alter positioned on the steps though and I have to say it was a much better setup in my mind!
The day began at the Westin Bayshore hotel in downtown Vancouver. The couple each had their own rooms and got ready there with the various members of the bridal party. It’s a really nice hotel if you haven’t been there before and well worth considering if you’re looking for a place to get ready on your wedding day!
