Welcome to my blog-site! A website/blog hybrid, you say?! YES! You can find information (usually found on a website) in the drop-down menus above.

My name is Sherry Lu, and I'm a Vancouver, B.C. based wedding and portrait photographer. Sessions with me are primarily outdoors since I LOVE natural lighting. If you want to know more about me, click on the "more info" link above!

This is where I'll be posting photos, blogging about recent sessions, the weather, my life, and other tidbits. Blog comments and e-mails make me happy <3! If you have any questions or are looking to book a session with me, just click on the "contact me" link above or e-mail me (sherry[at]sherry-lu.com).

Thanks for visiting my blog-site, and check back often!

For photographers: If you're wondering how I made my blog-site, I used the ProPhoto Blogs theme for Wordpress. Super simple (you can learn more in this post). (psst, use the code 'SHERLU328' to save $10 if you're gonna get it!)

Wedding | Kerry & Niki

While my sister and I were in San Francisco, my parents called and told us that our long-time family friend was getting married. In a few weeks! I was pretty stoked to have photographed Kerry & Niki’s very intimate wedding! Kerry’s mom and my mom actually were friends in college (in Taiwan!) and our families have known each other since we were babies! Kerry and Niki actually met in Japan, where they both studied abroad. Niki is from Switzerland, and actually brought macarons for my family (after finding out that I *love* macarons :D ) Best couple ever? Yes! Kerry and Niki had a very small wedding, consisting of family and a handful of friends. It was held at the Vancouver Aquarium, right beside the otter tank. Their reception was at the Stanley Park Tea House, and between the ceremony and reception, we were able to have a quick portrait session just along the Sea Wall!

*photographers: I processed these using VSCO Film presets*

The reaction to the surprise by Aquarium staff …

… which was treats for the sea otter encased in ice! Niki and Kerry then got to toss the ice cubes over and watch as the otter snatched up his snacks :)

(soo adorable!)

After the ceremony, we had some time to explore the Aquarium :)

They were so fun, and totally okay with hamming it up/cheesing it out for photos ;D

This prawn cocktail has set new standards for me, haha.

Portraits | Esther

This is my friend Esther; she has graced this blog a couple of times before :) Whenever I’m in the Bay Area, we try to arrange for a photoshoot to happen! This one was particularly special because it’s my first “photoshoot” on my new D700! [Funny coincidence: Esther was my first photoshoot on my D90 in 2009 also!] We didn’t have too much time this trip, but we did as much as we could as we frolicked around the lovely UC Berkeley campus!

*photographers’ aside: processed with Visual Supply Co’s VSCO Film presets, woot*

Esther was such a trooper, lying down in a pile of crisp autumn leaves!
