Love knows no bounds and it was evident in every moment of Chris and Jake's wedding at HMSC Discovery Naval Reserve on Stanley Park. This couple chose a stunning location to exchange their vows, amidst the tranquil beauty of Vancouver's largest natural park, Stanley Park. Capturing the essence of this wedding was a real privilege for me. From the "getting ready" photos at the Delta hotel downtown Vancouver to the magical sunset ceremony and reception at HMSC Discovery, every moment was filled with joy, laughter, and heartfelt emotions. I'm so excited to share the highlights of this beautiful wedding with you!

The preparations for the big day began at the Delta hotel in downtown Vancouver where Chris and Jake got ready with their closest friends. Both guys looked oh so handsome (just check out the photos!). I captured incredible moments of laughter, fun conversations, and excited moments between the two wedding parties.

Once the preparations were complete, we moved to Stanley Park for the ceremony and reception. As we walked through the Westcoast surroundings, the stunning HMSC Discovery Naval Reserve came into view.

Chris and Jake's ceremony at HMSC Discovery was a beautiful reflection of their love for each other. Surrounded by loved ones and nature, these two exchanged heartfelt vows that were teeming with love. So much love and joy between the family and friends as they witnessed the union of these two.

After the ceremony, we moved to the reception area, which was strategically placed to give a magnificent view of the city. The decors, the flowers, the speeches, and the music all combined to create an ambiance that was fitting for such a joyous occasion. There were tears of joy and emotion, laughter, and heartfelt embraces. Chris and Jake's wedding was indeed a celebration of love in its purest form, and every detail was meticulously planned to create a memorable experience.

As the sun set behind the Vancouver skyline, we captured some stunning photographs of the couple, with Downtown Vancouver in the background.

At the end of the day, Chris and Jake's wedding was truly an unforgettable experience, one that I'll will always cherish. The wedding was a testament to the fact that love knows no boundaries and that it can be celebrated in many ways. Celebrate your love, make it magical, and most importantly, make it your own. Thank you, Chris and Jake, for giving me the opportunity to capture your special moments!

I’m a Tsawwassen girl, and to be honest, I don’t often venture out of our neighbourhood for photo shoots. Saying that, when a client suggests we shoot at a new location I’m always game! A new location is like a new playground for a photographer. When taking photos somewhere new, it sparks your creativity and allows you to play with new light and landscapes. When beautiful momma to be, Ana suggested we take her maternity photos at Stanley Park in Vancouver, I was super excited! I asked my wedding planner sister Briar of Epic Events for suggested shoot locations in the area as she often does weddings at the Tea House and other Stanley Park venues.

She suggested 2nd beach, when I went to scout out the location, fell in love with right away. The reason I loved it for the maternity session so much was within a 5 minute walk, you went from a beautiful forest setting to a Vancouver beach landscape.

When I met up with Ana and Alex for their maternity photos, the first thing I noticed was Ana’s stunning dress choice and her flawless makeup. The gorgeous couple, and Ana’s perfect little baby bump made for such a dreamy team for the forest photos. As the sun was setting, we took a five minute walk and quick outfit change that brought us down to 2nd Beach for the second half of our maternity photo shoot.

Once again, Ana totally nailed her outfit choice with a soft pink dress that would compliment the sunset perfectly. At this point in the photo shoot we are all relaxed and having fun, which you can totally see through their photos.

Ana + Alex, thank you for choosing me to capture such a milestone moment in your lives. It was so wonderful meeting you two and thank you for allowing me to venture out of Tsawwassen to take your maternity photos!
