Real Wedding: Patrick and Christina September 2011

I had the pleasure of working with an amazing and loving couple Christina and Patrick this past September. Here's some great shots from their wedding held at the First Lutheran Church in East Vancouver, with the reception held at the Riverside Banquet halls in Richmond.


All photography was by Rafael Ferri with Match Studio Photography. Very nice guy!
















The officiant Pastor Hergeshiemer was amazingly helpful and friendly, and as you can see the inside of the First Lutheran church was stunning.










 After the ceremony the bridal party headed down the block to the old Avalon dairy to release butterflies ( from Flutterbuys), then preceded to New Westminster for some more shots.



Florals were from the bride's friend Lori MaClean. She did a great job, very hard working.
A very beautiful shot of the couple. 
 The cupcakes were made by the bride with a little help from her friends. You can't see by photo's, but the frosting was sparkly, so very yummy. Took a couple home myself, just could't resist.
The stars of the whole event (besides the bride and Groom of course) was the band SIDEone. They were absolutely outstanding, with such a vocal range, they covered almost every band out there and did it well!













From what you can see there was a little bit of a Scottish theme, and of course that means bagpipes. Unfortunately I do not have photo's but the piper was Mike Chrisholm, and he did a fantastic job, also a very lovely man.


I wish Christina and Patrick a very happy marriage, and thank them for allowing me to be apart of their wedding. Such a loving couple!

Outdoor wedding? I've found the perfect way to "Save The Veil"

Today I stumbled upon something very interesting, and very unique. Something I think all brides needs if you are planning on having your photo`s or wedding in an outdoor setting. They're called ``Save the Veil`` wedding weights, jewelry for your veil. Created by Sounthern California wedding planner Jill Watson from http://www.savetheveil.com .

They are magnetic and slip on easily, they're non permanent and will cause no damage to your veil. Using these beautiful weights will keep your veil in place while the wind keeps blowing, perfect for the outside photo-shoot.

Canadian brides can order them online from the save the veil website, so far they come in four styles, made with Swarovki crystals, and Mother of Pearl.
