Latest buzz from Vancouver Wedding Photographer Blü Studio Photography
The Chapel at Queen Elizabeth Park is one of our favourite places to shoot and even though it was raining on and off on Dan & Laura’s wedding day, we were very excited to be there! A whole bunch of the family was from England so that was especially fun for me (Paul)! I got to talk about football with somebody who was picturing an oval shaped ball and heavily padded players… we were talking about proper football! Shame they supported Wolves but somebody has to I suppose.
July saw us make our first visit to the West Coast Wilderness Lodge on the Sunshine Coast. We’ve photographed on the Sunshine Coast before but never that far north. What a beautiful part of the World! It’s about a 3 hour drive (with the added bonus of a ferry ride!) from Vancouver and there isn’t much else out there! The views were stunning and the weather was hot and sunny. Most of the shoot happened at the lodge itself but we were able to get down to the water for a few shots after the ceremony.
We visited a few different locations on Isaac & Claire’s wedding day. We began at Claire’s parent’s house for some getting ready shots of the girls. Then it was on to Queen Elizabeth Park to meet the guys. Due to logistical reasons, the couple had decided to take their family pictures and couple shots before the ceremony. So, we set up a “first look” moment for them. It went perfectly and was very emotional for all involved.
Paul & Megan asked us to shoot their engagement session at the University of British Columbia. I wasn’t very familiar with the area and have only shot before at Cecil Green Mansion. We met with the couple at the Rose Garden and from there visited a few spots that meant something to them as they both attended UBC and have some fond memories of the place. I do too now! It really is a beautiful campus with photo opportunities around every corner! Just before the end of the shoot we headed down to Spanish Banks for some photos on the beach. When we got there though we found the tide was in… all the way in. Never mind, we did find a couple of spots that allowed us to get a “beach feel” to the pictures
We love shooting in Stanley Park so when Matt & Kat asked us to take their engagement photos there we were over the moon! It was another beautiful evening and the lighting towards the end of the session was gorgeous! It almost felt like we were in California or some other nice, warm locale. We haven’t had much of that in Vancouver this year but we’ll definitely take some more!
