Last week I visited one of Vancouver's newest wedding and event spaces, Waterview. Situated on False Creek across from Granville Island, Waterview offers gorgeous floor to ceiling views of the surrounding area. Since its opening in May 2015, the venue has already received numerous venue awards, including Canada's Loveliest Wedding Venues by Wedding Bells, and Best City Centre Venue by Unique Venues Best Of Awards.

It seems like ages ago now that I shot Karen & Geoff's intimate wedding at the Conrad Hotel in Koh Samui. We started the weekend with a nice pre-wedding shoot at their hotel the day before, and then the ceremony and dinner the next day. I'll never get get tired of watching the sunset in the background while couples say their vows. Since their wedding, I also did a newborn session for them, which I'll be posting soon.
I couldn't wait to shoot this wedding. We were sitting at a bar below their Hong Kong apartment when Vanessa and Harry described their wedding day to me. It was going to be on a beautiful patch of grass where no one ever goes, surrounded by ocean and trees. Everywhere you look you would find little personal touches, such as flowers, signboards, a polaroid station, colourful sunglasses for all the guests, and much more. The ceremony would start in the late afternoon with the sun just starting to sink, and afterwards as the sun when down there would be games on the lawn, a do-it-yourself gin bar, and time to enjoy the warmth of the day. In the evening there would great food, music, dancing and celebration late into the night. When the day finally came, it was everything I imagined.
