Wedding Adam & Lindsay | Fort Langley Wedding Photographer

Jan Korteland — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:13:59 +0000

It doesn’t happen very often that we get to congratulate the couple on their marriage the first time we see them in the morning. But with Adam & Lindsay we did. They actually got married at the LDS temple very early Friday morning with only a couple of close friends and family present. You might think that this made the ring ceremony in the afternoon less special, but that was definitely not true. We haven’t seen a groom yet that was so touched seeing his beautiful bride walk down the aisle. From their engagement session a couple of weeks ago we knew that these guys are truly meant to be, and on their wedding day we got to witness their deep love for each other again! It was great to be part of their special day.

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 Wayne & Adina at Whitley House | Qualicum Beach Wedding Photographer

Jan Korteland — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 23:39:09 +0000

Last weekend Wayne & Adina tied the knot at the Whitley House in Qualicum Beach. This beautiful location provided a wonderful backdrop for their emotional ceremony. Wayne and Adina had written their own vows, and I just think it makes it so much more special to hear a couple use their own words to promise their lifelong commitment to each other.
A couple of days before the wedding there were still a lot of things to take care of, but they pulled it off and everything was ready for their beautiful day! Some people don’t completely understand how time consuming planning a wedding is, but it really is not an easy job. It’s wonderful that there are usually so many family members and bridesmaids and groomsmen willing to help out! But even with their help most couples (especially brides) afterward say how they would have liked to hire a wedding planner.
A slideshow with a larger selection of images will follow, but for now you can enjoy a sneak peek.

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 Photos Wayne & Adina | Nanaimo Engagement Photographer

Jan Korteland — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 16:19:10 +0000

Last week we shot Wayne & Adina’s engagement photos at Little Qualicum Falls, a beautiful provincial park. Their wedding was planned a few days after their engagement session, which was this past Saturday. We will soon be posting our favourites from their wedding as well.
We soon learned about Adina’s habit of being fashionably late. All the time. Not only at her first day of college, but also at her engagement session, AND her wedding ceremony. Luckily, Wayne has gotten used to this habit, and he was not worried at all about her possibly not showing up at their wedding. He knew their love was real and that Adina would show up when she was ready. But we digress… this post has some of our favourites from their engagement session and our favourites from their wedding will follow within the next few days!

Engagement Adam & Lindsay | Nanaimo Wedding Photography

Jan Korteland — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 21:32:41 +0000

Adam & Lindsay’s Vancouver wedding is only a few weeks away and we shot their engagement session last Friday in Bowen Park in Nanaimo. We just LOVE shooting there, it’s such a beautiful park!
His family was organizing them a wedding shower that same day, so they had some members of their wedding party with them as well (Megan, you’re a great assistant, thanks!). It was great seeing these two so in love! It promises to be a wonderful wedding!

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!

Bryan & Megan’s Wedding at the Hart House, Burnaby BC – Victoria Wedding Photographer

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 18:46:02 +0000

Last Saturday was a very special day for Bryan and Megan; not only did the two of them start their marriage, but it also meant the start of their family with the two kids. It was very touching to see how they played such an important role on their wedding day!
The ceremony was at the Hart House in Deer Lake Park, Burnaby, and it was the perfect location for their marriage! Although the weather was quite cloudy in the morning, by the time Megan walked down the isle the sky had turned completely blue! After a very personal ceremony and a wonderful lunch the bride and groom spent the evening with their guests at another beautiful location on the lake: the Baldwin House.
Enjoy the photos!

Christian & Heather’s After-Shoot – Victoria Wedding Photographer

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 23:55:43 +0000

Our friends Christian & Heather got married a few weeks ago in Salmon Arm. They loved to have some wedding photos with Vancouver scenery so they got dressed up again and spent an afternoon with us. It was great to have lots of time to create some beautiful images for them!

Melissa and Scott’s Engagement Session – Victoria Lifestyle Wedding Photographer

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 02:51:43 +0000

For Scott & Melissa’s engagement session we went to beautiful Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver. The location was awesome (despite the bee-sting…) and Melissa and Scott were a great couple to work with! This couple is only a few weeks away from their wedding in September. Let’s hope the great weather will stay around a bit longer!
