A couple of weeks ago I had an opportunity to second shoot for the ever fabulous Jamie Delaine in Vancouver, Canada. I love Vancouver. No really, it’s awesome! I can’t believe my first time there was only this last summer. It’s such an amazingly beautiful city, and the city in the fall…. OH my.

This was the sweetest couple, I met Jennifer for the first time on Saturday morning. She was glowing. Warmth and excitement oozed from her pores. She was the most excited bride I have witness yet.  Her sweet voice shook ever so slightly with the nervous anticipation of seeing her groom. As her mother laced her dress, her sisters and bridesmaids gathered around her and said what both Jamie and I were thinking. Stunning Jennifer, Mike is going to lose his breath.

And I think he did. Between the dynamic music, and the hushed oooo’s and ah’s, the time in the room seemed to stand still when she walked in the door. I really could go on and on about how captivating this ceremony was. I of course was in tears, and so happy for the love that they found in each other. More than anything though, it was the understanding of the commitment that really was apparent at this wedding. Jen’s father gave her away, and led the ceremony. He’s the pastor at Coastal Church in Vancouver, where Mike and Jennifer married. It was truly unique and extremely personal.

Following the ceremony, we headed to Jennifer’s parents penthouse downtown. We couldn’t help but take advantage of the gorgeous 360 degree views of the city from their rooftop. Mike and Jen did an awesome job of looking warm didn’t they?

J’aime les feuilles de chute.

After leaving the high rise, we headed to Stanley Park for a quick portrait session before the sun went down.

The reception was held at the Stanley Park Pavilion. Such an amazing venue!

Thank you Jamie for allowing me to join you again. You’re awesome!
