Furry Creek Golf Club has been very good to us over the past few years. It’s one of the Lower Mainland’s most popular wedding venues, and for good reason. The food is fabulous, the staff bend over backwards to please their guests, and the scenery can’t be matched anywhere. Megan and Jonathan chose Furry Creek mainly for the variety of backdrops it offers for photography. They had seen some of our previous work there, and it convinced them to book the place for their summer wedding. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!

I was really looking forward to this wedding, not just because Heather and John are such as great couple, but also because I haven’t been to the Okanagan for quite a while. We took advantage of the trip, bike riding on the Kettle Valley Railway, and checking out several local wineries on the way back to Vancouver. But I digress. This blog is about weddings, and H and J’s was one of the bast ever!

Heather was just over the moon on her big day, and John was relaxed and cool as a cucumber. A good combination of personalities I would think. The weather was superb, and Kelowna’s Harvest Golf Club was the perfect setting. We didn’t have to go far to get some great scenic backdrops for our wedding photos, so we got lots. When the sun started to set I dragged the bride and groom out for another quick session on the 18th green. I think they’re the best shots of the day.

The happy couple jetted off to Hawaii for a couple of ]weeks right after the wedding, and were overjoyed that their photos were waiting for them when they got home. Enjoy the memories, guys!

I always look forward to the challenge of capturing the spectacle of a Sikh wedding. The ceremonies, the colours, the sheer size of these events – it’s like being a kid in a candy store for me. Everywhere you turn there are photo opportunities. And the guests, by and large, love having their photos taken. Prab and Kerry’s recent wedding was no exception. Two full days of shooting meant a sore back and thousands of images to process, but I wouldn’t miss it for the world. I love Sikh weddings!

The wedding day was a long one, starting at the bride’s house, then off to the temple, followed by photo shoots at some impromptu locations since it was pouring rain. We’re not done yet — back to the bride’s house for more ceremonies, then the groom’s house.

Day 2 consists of more photo shoots, then the reception. After spending such so many hours together in such a short period of time, Prab and Kerry and I developed a fast friendship that allowed all of us to relax and enjoy the process of making great images. I always feel like it’s an honour to be given such an important role in this once-in-a lifetime event. They are such a happy, fun-loving couple who are so obviously in love, they made my job easy.

Whistler residents Cat, Spencer and baby Ben wanted a back-to-nature wedding, and that is exactly where we found ourselves on a sunny Saturday in October. The backdrop for this Pemberton hideaway was right out of a postcard: late afternoon sun, snow covered mountains, and fluffy clouds floating across a blue sky. Tons of fun, especially the reception, as all the guests were staying either on the premises, in campers, or at local B&Bs, so the refreshments were flowing. Here are some highlights….

Nicole and Ron sent us waaaaaaay out to the Fraser Valley for their Minter Gardens wedding. We didn’t complain too much — the scenery was spectacular, and the happy couple had been to the Gardens many times, so they knew where to go to get the best shots.
We could have stayed outside for hours, there was so many perfect photo opps, but the guests were getting hungry, so we headed into one of their glass pavilions for a great dinner and lots of partying.
