Here’s the photobooth from a glamorous old Hollywood style wedding I shot this month at the Vancouver Club. The actual wedding pics will come in the next few weeks. I’ve been shooting so much lately I feel like I’m sitting on a real stash of good material (which I’m backing up at a neighbour’s house just in case my apartment floods.) Oh, summer!
I’m behind on blogging as usual, but I am happy to post this lovely wedding of Jose and Natalia whose ceremony was held at Holy Rosary Cathedral downtown, with the reception at Terminal City club. They had a fantastic bridal party of about twenty people who were all siblings! It was also fun to hear a lot of what I think was a Polish wedding song and even be asked, no, coerced into dancing at the end of the evening. A first! (And quite enjoyable despite my complete lack of skill.)

I recognize that quilt! Lovely shots, Melia. But there’s nothing new about that.
i am so envious of your ability to capture perfect sunflare. i love love love the lighting in these photos
You and the sun are one. You say come, and it enters your lens like magic!
Beauty! love this set.
Shooting is about the only thing that gets me away from my desk when I’m not out of the country it seems, and I was absolutely astounded by the beauty of Lighthouse Park. It had been about eleven years since my last visit, and I was so impressed that I went back that very week just for the pleasure of it. The park was a perfect backdrop for Tristan and Jordan who love the outdoors both above and below sea level. Jordan especially is a rock climber– and perhaps the only person who has expressed interest in making some pictures in spots that I dared not tread. I’m used to it being the other way round.

I love those two last pics! Great sky!
Yay! I am so happy you like the location. These photos look amazing.
Dana and Court’s day was a warm and sunny stand alone in what seemed like weeks of wet and gray. The wedding ceremony was held on Dana’s family farm, a blueberry farm, which I think inspired the deep berry colours in everything from fingernails to beverages and even a lot of guest apparel. The reception was held at UBC boathouse. I enjoyed photographing Dana & Court’s young son as he experienced the wedding of his parents– from waking up from his nap to putting on new shoes and a strange outfit, a familiar yard filled with strangers and food, and a walk/carry down an aisle in front of all of them! He joined his parents up at the front under the big tree once he delivered them the rings.

FANTASTIC photos! AND that’s the dress I found online 9 months ago right after I got engaged and fell in love with it!!!!! The bride looks beautiful in it! If she’s interested in selling it let me know!!!!! jentrance@gmail.com
Thanks!
Very beautiful perspective and tone to your images. Especially love the B&W of the bride & groom against the plain black of the open barn door. Perfect. (Found you originally from recommendation from fellow photog James Moes).
I am loving the bride’s veil & flower hair piece! If she is reading this, I’d love to know where you purchased it!
Hi Anne, The flower and veil are from Jewliette Jewelry. Cheers. m
always so inspired by your work
WOW! Spectacular shots! This was such a special wedding! It was a pleasure working with you!
