Daisy & Ed - Mayfair Lakes Wedding - Richmond Wedding Photographer 26.10.2009 | Weddings

This is a massive post so be warned that if you have a slow connection it may take a sec. Daisy and Ed were so much fun to take pictures of. They are super romantic, fun and goofy and a blast to be around. Their wedding and reception were held at Mayfair Lakes Golf and Country Club. Enjoy checking out the amazing details, photos of the wedding party as well as great images of the lovely couple.

Great light streaming in the room as the girls got ready.

The final rose, I think that's from the bachelor?

Daisy looked stunning.


The wedding day was perfect.
A few shots in the limo.
Some romantic images of the bride and groom.





Some classic portraits.

Love this next set of images, definitely my favs of the day.



Like I said fun and a little goofy.

The wedding party.



A quick change for the tea ceremony.
Great speeches, little bro hit it out of the park.
Fun games and a crazy cake.

Shots baby.
We stole the bride and groom from the reception for 5 minutes and got some sunset pictures.

Love this first dance shot, great lighting, great emotion and a great shot to end on.

Photoshop - Before and After - Crystal 10.10.2009 | Photoshop - Before and After

One of the hardest things for me to do as a photographer is decide what version of a photo I want to show the world on my blog. Photoshop is a tool that most photographers use daily and love but it has become such a well used verb in our culture that I constantly hear "Oh lets just photoshop that out/in". While sometimes possible I always like to get the best image in the camera and then use photoshop to subtly tweak an image or add an effect that highlights an emotion or feeling. I don't aim to change the way someone or something looks, that is the realm of a commercial advertising photographer. My goal is to make the people in front of my lens look their absolute best while still having fun and being themselves. Below is an example of what I might do to "photoshop" an image.

The image as it was shot straight out of the camera. Overall I love the image, nice composition, amazing directional natural light pouring in through the window. Crystal looks beautiful and to be perfectly honest I would be happy with this image with little or no post processing.

A little dodging and burning to put more of an emphasis on the bride and less on the wall. A slight colour and contrast boost to make the image pop.

A simple black and white conversion gives a timeless classic look to the image. These B&W shots will never look dated and look great in albums.

Something totally different and a lot more dramatic. The toning and colours give the image more of a painterly feel but the skin tones are still pleasing to the eye. The purple and blue toning are by no means meant to be natural but give the image a fashionable edge.

Vasudha & Vikram - The Wedding 07.10.2009 | Weddings

Here are some images from the last day of Vik and Vasudha's wedding. There were so many great shots of family and friends. Again the colour and culture was amazing. The wedding took place in Vasudha's parents back yard and the reception was held at The Four Seasons Vancouver.

The girls getting ready.
Vasudha putting on the final touches.

HELLO, STUNNING.

A grand family entrance.



Some serious dancing.

The groom arrives at the brides house and needs to sing and play games to win the brides family over. All I know is Vik lost his shoes and didn't get them back until LATE in the day.
Some happy wedding guests.
A proud Dad and a beautiful bride.
My favourite image of the day, a candid shot during the ceremony. Lots of love and emotion during this moment.
Some images we shot at Cresent Beach.
Some shots from the reception.
We had a great time shooting Vik and Vasudha's many different parties and ceremonies during their wedding festivities.
