Wedding Eiko & Chris {Victoria Wedding Photographer}

Jan and I were married on a beautiful day in October, and Eiko & Chris definitely lucked out with a gorgeous day as well! The weather is just as unpredictable during the summer as it is in the fall, so why not choose a fall wedding? This creative couple chose Hatley Castle as their wedding venue, and I have to say, that this is probably one of the most stunning wedding locations that you can find on the Island. So full of character, and warmth. Their Victorian decorations made the impact even more dramatic. You’ll see what I mean when you see the images!
But what can you expect from a talented couple like Eiko & Chris? She is a gifted musician who composes music for films, video games, etc. Her music played throughout the reception, and it was evident that this girl is extremely talented. She didn’t say exactly how many instruments she plays, but when Chris told me that she plays several string instruments, brass instruments, the flute, the piano, etc, I couldn’t believe it. Isn’t that amazing? He is quite the artist himself… he does special effects in movies, more specifically he draws monsters and his latest project was the blockbuster Thor. It’s his childhood dream come true.
Eiko & Chris, it was great to be part of your day! I loved seeing how your families from Japan and Australia all came together to celebrate with you and to get to know each other. I hope that your love for each other grows stronger every day!

Queens Park Wedding: Jeff & Monique

Monique & Jeff got married on July 2nd in Queens Park in New Westminster. Monique had written some guest posts on our blog as she was planning her wedding. Check “bride blogger” under categories if you’d like to read the posts. My assistant/second shooter for the day, Laura, and I arrived at the groom’s sister’s house where the boys were getting ready only to find out that they weren’t there. We were there early, so they weren’t expecting us yet. Twenty minutes later they arrived after they finished a round of golf in the morning. The guys always have much more time to have some fun in the morning, while the girls are always up early and taking hours to get ready. Somehow that doesn’t seem fairicon wink Queens Park Wedding: Jeff & Monique
After we grabbed some shots of the groom and his groomsmen we went to Hadden House Bed & Breakfast where the girls were preparing for the big day. When we arrived all the bridesmaids were dressed and the room was better organized than I’d ever seen before! Being a perfectionist, Monique had it all planned out into detail and she was right on schedule throughout the day. After a beautiful ceremony in the Rose Garden at Queens Park in New Westminster, we spent some time with them and their wedding party taking photos at the petting zoo and surrounding park. When we had all the photos we needed Monique and Jeff really wanted to spend a couple of minutes alone to enjoy each other’s company before the reception, so that’s what they did. I think it’s important that a couple can have a little bit of quiet time when they want it. A wedding can be quite hectic, but it is good to slow down to soak it all in!
Thank you, Jeff & Monique it was an honour to capture your wedding memories!
