The ring bearer. Isn’t he cute?

These were originally Molly’s shoes, but she had dropped something on her foot, and ended up wearing flip flops (which were probably more comfortable after a long day)

Detail of Molly’s stunning dress…

She had GORGEOUS blue eyes.

So cute.

A quick portrait of Molly after she got dressed

Hanging out with Mike & his groomsmen before the ceremony!

BUBBLES! (They brought a SWEET bubble machine… It was great)

A grandpa and his grandkid.

Groomsmen are always fun(ny)…

Mike, giving me his best Blue Steel look.

Molly was positively radiant!

Molly’s pretty bouquet!

Ya. I loooved her hair that day.

Instead of clinking glasses, Molly & Mike asked their guests to don a sombrero and ride this tiny tricycle for a kiss. The guests had to WORK for it.

Thanks so much, Laura, for having me come along and second shoot with you! You can see Laura’s take here.

There is definitely something so magical about film that’s just so hard to replicate in digital. And the MYSTERY of not knowing what *exactly* you shot is kind of exciting!! I definitely checked the back of the film camera EVERY. SINGLE. TIME I took a photo. Old habits die hard, I s’pose.

Camera: Nikon F100
Film: Fujifilm 160 C
Lens: Nikkor 50mm f/1.4

My Vera Wang Flower Princess perfume! (And some LOVELY bokeh, mmm)

A daisy!

The light. Oh, I miss summer already.

Those were my favourite shots from my first roll. Can’t wait to share the portraits soon! (Keep your eyes peeled)

Loved AJ’s gold shoes. Girls who wear flat shoes to grad are super smart!

AJ proving that she’s tall.

Good ol’ swingset fun.

Cutest dip evarrr.

Dancing in the woods. What, you don’t? ;D

I loved the light coming in this tennis court!

Good luck, AJ + Alex, with your futures!!! :D You two are super adorable!

Let’s see what he has done: lowered his car, tinted back windows, metal pedals (forgot to photograph those), OH, and WAXED HIS CAR. Oh my gosh. The wax made his car (Eleanor is her name) so impossibly shiny. Haha. I had to photograph at creative angles to avoid getting my own reflections in the shots. This is good practice, for his NEXT round of mods, I guess ;D

We started out at Crescent Beach. We were totally racing for the sunset, but it got too cloudy- and there was NO SUNSET. Well, I think the clouds helped with the whole shiny-car issue…

First try at panning shots. Didn’t bring my tripod, so it was hand-held. I’m gonna try it with a tripod next time!

Then it got dark. And out came the flash. Totally brought off-camera flash transmitter/receiver. But something wasn’t right because I only got a ~1m range… Haha. Should’ve read the instructions I guess.

I kind of like this next photo- even though it was kind of accidental…

Then we left Crescent Beach, because I already accumulated ~4 NEW mosquito bites, and Linus had 10+. So I ran home and grabbed my tripod before we headed up to SFU for some long exposure photos.

The light through the car was the headlights of a car behind it.

SHINY!

Black cars are hard to photograph. I’m gonna buy a yellow car- then it’ll be a lot easier for photos ;D

Middle of the street!

Middle of the street going down the mountain. I was on the median, and Linus is ducking in the car. Just in case any cars come. Luckily, we were able to grab a few photos before any cars drove by.

I’d say that was an interesting challenge. I’ll be ready for his next round of mods. (Eyelids, shark-fin-like antennae, new rims??? And I keep rooting for rectangular exhaust pipes. But that’s just me, haha).

The day started at Minoru Chapel in Richmond. Simon & his groomsmen

Sakiko & Simon opted to do a first look before the ceremony. I love the look on Simon’s face!

The ever-so-beautiful bride.

The cloud covering provided some even, smooth light.

Haha. The ring *almost* got stuck on Sakiko’s finger. That’s Simon’s REJOICE reaction after he finally got her ring on…

I’ve always wanted to do a stealthy photo, and photograph through leaves! DONE and DONE!

Sakiko & Simon had their reception up at Grouse Mountain. And we were able to take a private gondola (only wedding people) up!

We snuck away for a few quick portraits before dinner!

Sakiko’s shoes! I <3 shoes!!!

Their rings

The shoe game, but with balloons instead.

My steak dinner. Nomomom.

Lori’s salmon!

Snuck out for another portrait

Oh my gosh. The most delicious dessert ever. AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. Frozen creme brulee? Not sure. 200% deliciousness. THAT’S what it was.

During the speeches, I love watching their reactions…

Sakiko’s dad sang a song in Japanese. Pretty sure there wasn’t a single dry eye in the room…

Cake feeding!

Love this EPIC bouquet toss.

Thanks to Lori for having me along to second shoot! It was a lot of fun. (Besides the 4 SUPER ITCHY mosquito bites I got. And the 19 that Lori got). Haha. Whatever it takes to get the photo, right? ;D
