Wedding Bryan & Rochelle at Eaglequest Coyote Creek | Vancouver Wedding Photographer

Jan Korteland — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 04:54:34 +0000

These guys were so much fun to work with! We shot their engagement session in Gastown and that’s where we went back for their wedding photos.
They decided to do a “first look” in the morning, so they would be able to move quickly from the ceremony into the reception. We’ve done quite a few first looks this season and it’s something we always discuss with our couples. If a couple isn’t big on traditions, the first look is a great way to spend some time together in the morning and it allows us to create beautiful portraits of either just the bride and groom or with the wedding party as well.
Bryan & Ro, we hope that you guys will soon be able to start your life together when Ro can move down to Seattle! It must be so hard that now you’re still living a couple of hours apart. We wish you all the best for your marriage and hope to stay in touch!

Wedding Brad & Ashley at Vancouver Club | Vancouver Wedding Photographer

Jan Korteland — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 20:38:16 +0000

Last Saturday Brad and Ashley tied the knot at the Vancouver Club. Their wedding was very intimate with just 25 guests. This meant that they got to spend their special day with their best friends and closest family; which made their day a really special one. I don’t think we’ve ever seen so many tears shed at a wedding; seriously, there was no one that didn’t cry at some point! I’m sure that those tears weren’t tears of sadness, but of joy. The love that these two have, not only for each other, but also for their family and friends was very obvious. I really admire their decision to celebrate their wedding with only those closest to them; it really was a day filled with love!

Ashley and Brad flew in from Calgary a few days before the wedding; other family members flew in from Alberta later in the week. Their wedding was at the Vancouver Club, a beautiful downtown venue, which is a favourite location for both ceremonies and receptions. Their ceremony was in the Georgian Room, which has a perfect size for intimate weddings and their officiant Alan Burnett was by far the nicest and funniest we have ever come across! After the ceremony we took the couple to Stanley Park for their photos and all of us were so happy that it turned out to be such a beautiful and sunny day!

Engagement Brad & Ashley | Vancouver Wedding Photographer

Jan Korteland — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 21:25:27 +0000

Last Thursday we shot Brad & Ashley’s engagement portraits in Gastown and Stanley Park, Vancouver. When we left the Island in the morning, we didn’t expect to see complete overcast skies in Vancouver, as it was sunny on the other side. At least it wasn’t raining, so I guess we shouldn’t complain It was great spending time with them and their engagement session was only 2 days before their wedding… so stay tuned for a sneak peek of their wedding images!

Wedding Venue Victoria – Amethyst Inn

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:15:42 +0000

We thought it would be nice to share some interesting wedding venues on Vancouver Island on our blog for brides that are planning their wedding. Today, we would like to share about a very cool B&B for more intimate weddings.
The Amethyst Inn in Victoria is a lovely 19th century building that has been completely restored, but a lot of the original details are still there. The interior is simply stunning. There are beautiful antiques everywhere you look. Even the phones in the rooms are antique! It’s a photographer’s dream to take photos at such a beautiful place. Of course, there are modern luxuries as well, such as wide-screen TVs, mini-bars and internet.
This location is ideal for couples that are looking to spend their special day with close friends and family. And the inn has room to accommodate up to 30 people, so everyone could stay if they wanted to, and you could all enjoy breakfast together in the morning. So if you’re looking for a place where you can celebrate your wedding with a small group of friends you should definitely check out their website!

David & Kelly’s Engagement Portrait Session in Cowichan bay BC – Wedding Photography Victoria

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 01:54:38 +0000

When I received Kelly’s phone call on Monday early afternoon I didn’t expect her to ask if we could do her engagement session that very same day. After all, it was raining. But their schedules are very busy, so they didn’t have a lot of options to do it another time. Our only “issue” was our 2.5 week old baby girl Rosalynn, for whom we couldn’t possibly find a babysitter on such short notice. But Kelly and David were okay with the rain and they didn’t mind that we had to take Rosalynn. So a few hours later we met up with this couple and we had a great time shooting their engagement portraits in Cowichan Bay! Believe it or not, but just before the session it started pouring pretty bad, and then, while we were drinking coffee, the sky cleared up a little and we had an (almost) dry engagement session! (And Rosalynn couldn’t have behaved any better: she slept during the whole session!)

The last couple of photos were taken at the Masthead Restaurant where Kelly and David got engaged. This restaurant has such a gorgeous interior! We loved the opportunity to take a few shots there. And we can’t wait to go back there for dinner someday!

Wedding Album | Wedding Photography Victoria

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 19:00:35 +0000

Last week we received a beautiful new sample album. This album is a little different than most wedding albums, because there is no hard substrate between the pages. This means that this album has thinner pages than a traditional album would have. The print quality is gorgeous nonetheless as the prints are on true photographic paper! We think these coffee table books with linen covers are fabulous and we’re sure you’ll love them too!

If you prefer a more traditional album, we also have premium leather albums with the thick pages available. Both types of albums come in seven exciting colours (lime green, blue, white, pink, brown, black and red) and they will be custom designed for you!

Every couple deserves a beautiful wedding album to treasure their memories!

Engagement Photos of Matt & Anna – Victoria Lifestyle Wedding Photographer

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 04:31:16 +0000

For Matt & Anna’s engagement session there definitely was no lack of ideas on their part where to go for photos. We walked around Chinatown, managed to get a few shots in Fan Tan Alley (the narrowest street of Canada!) before they closed the gates, then headed into Esquimalt over the Johnson Street Bridge for some train track shots and of course some shots with downtown Victoria in the background. Enjoy the photos!
