St. Monica Parish Wedding {Kenny & Leah}

Paul — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 00:08:30 +0000

Wow, what a busy summer we’re having here at Blü Studio! So busy in fact, we’ve fallen a long way behind with our blog posts! We are still here and will be updating the blog quite frequently over the coming weeks with weddings and engagement shoots since May. Yes, it’s been that long!

So, we’ll kick things off with Kenny & Leah’s wedding day photos from May 15th! We started the day in Richmond at the Westin Wall Centre hotel for some getting ready shots of the girls. From there it was off to the church, St. Monica Parish, to meet Kenny and shoot the ceremony! After the family shots, when the ceremony had ended, we took the wedding party to Granville Island before heading to the Renaissance Hotel in Vancouver for the reception!

It was a long day but a lot of fun. The weather was great and the wedding party were a real blast to work with! Here are a few of the pics…

Westin Bayshore Wedding {Paul & Jennifer}

Paul — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 02:48:01 +0000

Well, it didn’t seem like 5 minutes since we shot Paul and Jennifer’s engagement shoot in Deep Cove last September, but suddenly their big day had arrived and what a special one it was. The entire event was held at the Westin Bayshore in downtown Vancouver. The couple held the ceremony in the Marine Room before an intimate reception in one of the luxurious suites upstairs.

The weather held out for us although it was a little cold for the shots outside after the ceremony. Still, Paul and Jennifer were great sports and we ended up with some really beautiful photos…

Fleetwood Christian Reformed Church {Anton & Ali}

Paul — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 22:28:06 +0000

Finally, we have a chance to catch up on some of our wedding posts! Anton & Ali were married earlier this year at the Fleetwood Christian Reformed Church in Surrey. Before that, we met with Ali at her parent’s home for some getting ready shots and then we all went to White Rock where Anton was waiting for some family and group shots. The weather had been poor leading up to the wedding day but when we needed a break it came and the whole day was fabulous.

After the ceremony we headed to Eaglequest Coyote Creek for the reception. It was beautifully decorated inside and the lighting was nice and moody with just enough for the photography. Everyone had a wonderful time and it was a pleasure to work with Anton, Ali and all their friends & family!

Chapel at Queen Elizabeth Park Wedding {Joel & Tina}

Paul — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:55:57 +0000

We kicked off 2010 with an evening wedding at the Chapel in Queen Elizabeth Park. By the time the ceremony began it was dark and gloomy outside. Inside, however, was softly lit with candles and the intimate setting provided a wonderful ceremony which was enjoyed by Joel & Tina’s closest friends and family. I think Joel and Tina might have enjoyed it too

When the proceedings had drawn to a close we took the couple outside for a shoot in the dark! Luckily the fountains were lit up so we had some light to work with. We also took the lanterns outside which provided a really unique look to the final images.

Bombay Banquet Hall Wedding {Roger & Nitu}

Paul — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 00:48:50 +0000

What a cold November night this was! We met Roger & Nitu at the Guildford Sheraton in Surrey for some getting ready pictures. We took some shots in Nitu’s room before heading down to the lobby to meet up with Roger. From there it was off to the Bombay Banquet Hall for the reception. The couple married in Mexico the week before so there was no ceremony to capture at this one!

The hall is large and holds a lot of guests! Roger & Nitu made their entry, along with the bridal party, in the style of “the YouTube wedding dance”. You know what I’m talking about… 30 million hits at time of writing! That set the tone for a night of fun and laughter… oh, and dancing… lots of dancing!

Canadian Memorial United Church Wedding {Kevin & Kim}

Paul — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 01:15:45 +0000

Our second October wedding took us to the Canadian Memorial United Church on 16th and Burrard. It was our first shoot at this particular church and an absolutely fantastic location for a wedding. The weather was great and everyone enjoyed a really beautiful ceremony! Kevin & Kim hired a Scottish piper to lead them down the aisle and it really added to the dramatic atmosphere inside.

After the ceremony we took the bridal party to the Vancouver Public Library for a photo shoot where it started to rain! It got heavier and heavier until we were caught in an absolute deluge down at Canada Place. Now you’d think that might spoil the picture taking but in fact it added to the whole effect and we got some really neat photos down by the waterfront before heading into the Terminal City Club for the reception. We were only there for half an hour or so and then had to make our way home through the pouring rain!

A great day for all involved and a pattern seems to be emerging… it always rains when we shoot at the library!

Capilano Golf & Country Club Wedding {Andrew & Margot}

Paul — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 21:27:38 +0000

We kicked off our October weddings with a visit to the Capilano Golf & Country Club for Andrew & Margot’s wedding. It was our first visit to this particular venue and I have to say it was pretty spectacular. There are lots of great photo opportunities and fantastic wedding facilities. We’re already looking forward to another visit there next year!

Anyway, here are a few shots from Andrew & Margot’s wedding! Please feel free as always to leave a comment at the end of the photos!

Pitt Meadows Heritage Church Wedding {Brandon & Cayley}

Paul — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 00:11:05 +0000

Our final wedding of September was with Brandon & Cayley! We met with them at the Amsterdam Nursery in Pitt Meadows for some photos with family in the adjoining garden. Since the couple were meeting there before the ceremony they decided to make it a bit more special and Cayley snuck up behind Brandon to surprise him before we started taking pictures! When we were finished at the nursery we went to a local wooded park and took some pictures of the couple. The church (Pitt Meadows Heritage Church) was right next door so after a photo shoot in the trees we went to get ourselves ready. The church was small and quaint and provided a beautiful setting for a very intimate wedding ceremony with close family and friends.

There was no time to spare after the ceremony and we headed straight to the reception which was held at the Fraserview Village Community Hall in Maple Ridge. Here are a few shots from the day!

See some photos from Brandon & Cayley’s engagement session!

Brix Restaurant Wedding {Lindsay & Cindy}

Paul — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 21:02:57 +0000

Lindsay & Cindy were married at Brix Restaurant & Bar in Vancouver. We met them there for the ceremony before heading to a nearby park and the waterfront for some family/couple shots. We then went back to the restaurant for the reception!

Minoru Chapel Wedding {Tetsuya & Yoko}

Paul — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 06:15:01 +0000

Tetsuya & Yoko travelled over from Japan to get married at the beautiful Minoru Chapel in Richmond. We actually met them for the first time just minutes before the ceremony began! It was a very intimate occasion with only a dozen or so guests. We were there to shoot the ceremony and take a few shots of the couple outside in the gardens when the service had concluded. The weather was slightly iffy but it held out for us and it turned out to be a great shoot! Here are some shots from the event… please leave a comment at the end and let us know what you think!
