Photo Booth Shawn & Zoe’s Wedding | Victoria Wedding Photographer

Jan Korteland — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:42:42 +0000

We had a blast last Saturday at Shawn & Zoe’s wedding in Cowichan Bay. Before we show you any wedding photos, we wanted to share a couple of our favourite photo booth images with you. As always, the photo booth was a lot of fun and the background totally worked with their wedding colours (which were different shades of green). Stay tuned for a sneak peek of their wedding!

Featured Venue: Quw’utsun’ Centre in Duncan | Duncan Wedding Photographer

Jan Korteland — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 18:34:47 +0000

The Quw’utsun’ Cultural and Conference Centre is a popular wedding location for couples getting married in the Cowichan Valley. Couples often choose to get married here because of their family ties in the area; which in general seems to be a reason for many brides and grooms to return to their roots. We must admit that the riverfront ceremony location is fantastic and the reception locations are beautiful too. Not to mention that this six acre property is beautifully landscaped.
The Quw’utsun’ Centre can host weddings up to 250 guests; but is a great place for smaller weddings as well. It seems that weddings up to about a hundred guests are the average. Ceremonies can take place outside, right alongside the river, or inside (if the weather isn’t that great) in the Clemclemaluts Theatre. For receptions there’s either the Comeakin Room, which has views of the Cowichan River and can seat up to 250 guests; or there’s the Quamichan Room which is more suitable for smaller weddings with its more intimate atmosphere. There are many options at this wedding venue and brides and grooms that are looking for a great location for their Duncan wedding should definitely contact Kathy, the event coordinator from the Quw’utsun’ Cultural and Conference Centre !

Update: Come and celebrate National Aboriginal Day at the Quw’utsun’ Cultural Centre next Monday the 21st of June. There’s free admission (or by donation) and they will be open from 10am until 4pm. At 1.30pm there will be a performance by the Quw’utsun’ Dancers, and there are totem & cultural tours and First Nations films throughout the day. You can enjoy lunch at the Riverwalk cafe from 11.30 until 3pm.

Wedding Luke and Katie in White Rock BC – Victoria Lifestyle Wedding Photographer

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 02:10:22 +0000

Last weekend I had the opportunity to tag along with my friend Michelle from Michelle Elisabeth Photography to shoot Katie and Luke’s wedding in White Rock. It was a wonderful day and it all started of at Katie’s home in White Rock where she was getting ready. After some getting-ready-shots of the groom they finally saw each other for the first time. Katie looked gorgeous in her stunning dress and blue shoes! We headed off for a fun and relaxed photo session and in the late afternoon the ceremony in the Coast Capital Playhouse. For the reception we went to Elgin Hall which was beautifully decorated by the bride and her helpers. I loved the center pieces, which were wedding cakes!! I have no idea how she did it, but the mother of the bride managed to bake 12 wedding cakes (5 different flavours) and a three-tier wedding cake as well. Not to mention the decorated cookies, one for each guest… That must have been a few long hours in the kitchen! All in all a great day with lots of personal touches that made it extra special!

Enjoy the slideshow!

Last weekend Jan and I had the opportunity to get together with two wonderful couples for their engagement photos on Vancouver Island. The photos below are from Jennie and Adam who are planning their wedding for June 2010, exactly one year after the date of the engagement photos. This couple has been together for 4.5 years and last Christmas he finally popped the question. We hope their wedding planning will go smoothly!

Bridal Photos with Lisa – Victoria Lifestyle Wedding Photographer

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 07:00:00 +0000

Last Saturday we had a great shoot with Lisa, a local model. Stefanie did an awesome job on the make-up and hair. It was awesome to work with both of you, Lisa and Stefanie!

The dresses Lisa is wearing are from dress designer Caroline Calvert and they are stunning! Caroline carries a collection of beautiful gowns, but she also does custom couture gowns. Anyone still on the hunt for the perfect dress should definitely take a look at her work!

Most of the photos are taken in North Vancouver, at the Cleveland Dam and Capilano River Regional Park. The beach shots are taken at Third Beach in Stanley Park.
