Vancouver wedding photographer, Amber & Derek at Fairmont Pacific Rim & Monk McQueen's
I'm a little late posting this wedding from way back in June, but here it is! Amber & Derek began their day at the luxe Fairmont Pacific Rim with a dramatic yet intimate first look on a gorgeous spiral staircase. The rain was quite torrential this day but as usual, a smile never left Amber's face. We managed to get outside for a few photos between raindrops and shot quite a bit inside, I was really grateful for the indoor spaces available at the Pacific Rim this day! Gorgeous photos inside and out :) Then off to Monk McQueen's and I'm sure I'm not alone in mourning the loss of this great Vancouver wedding venue! Sadly, Amber & Derek's wedding was to be my last at Monk's. The rain held steady and the ceremony was moved indoors, and officiated by Derek's dad, adding a wonderful personal and touching element to their vows. Many people had traveled to share in this day with this day with them, from as far as Halifax! (Amber's hometown) It was a day filled with joy and genuine happiness, a perfect celebration for a wonderful couple. Just before we left, the sun made a brief appearance, allowing us to grab a few last-minute photos outside by the water, as seen at the end of this post. Make sure to check out the list of awesome vendors who made this wedding a gorgeous success too! After the wedding, when Amber and I met up on photo delivery day, she presented me with a bouquet. She had chosen the flowers to be included, some of her favourites and some that she felt represented me, a combination of us both is one beautiful presentation. It was a heartfelt gift I will always remember, thank-you Amber. Big thanks to Rick Meinhardt for shooting with me for this wedding!

Erin and David (Weller!) at Monk McQueen's
It's actually somewhat difficult to think of the groom as 'David' when literally everyone, including Erin, call him by his last name, Weller. Somebody made a speech about not believing him when he said "My name is actually David" after knowing him as 'Weller' for so long. So, in keeping with everyone else, I'll call him Weller also!

Erin and Weller met initially in Australia, his home country. They re-met again, this time in London, England, when Weller found Erin in a London tube station after a particularly bad night. (There's a good story here, trust me.) He took her home, tucked her in, and literally became her knight in shining armour. My words, not theirs. They've had many more travel adventures and with another chapter of travel in their lives coming up, it was a beautiful day spent in Vancouver with friends and family from Australia and Canada... complete with plenty of Aussie/Canadian rivalry! Erin & Weller were going for a chic "Sex & The City" vibe for their reception and the rainbow of colours worn by their guests lent an amazing burst of colour to so many of the photos. I've never seen so many HAWT cocktail dresses in one place in my entire life!

The first dance shots are definitely among my favourite of this wedding season, I love playing with off camera flash and sometimes the stars simply align... A sultry, sexy and playful dance to Nina Simone's 'Feeling Good'.

We begin with Erin and her gorgeous gown from Something Blue. I heard it so many times that day... "She looks like a skinny Marilyn Monroe!!"... she indeed was stunning...










There's a story behind this shot... and it's got something to do with goats. My favourite part about taking this photo was the sound effects that went along with it...

Absolutely gorgeous floral work by Granville Island Florists and decor by Bridal Beginnings
