Ley and Len - September 13, 2008
Ley and Len are a wonderfully sweet and sincere couple, and it was a pleasure to share their beautiful day with them. Their ceremony was held at the always lovely Celebration Pavilion at Queen Elizabeth Park, with many family and friends in attendance to show their support. After photos with the family, it was off to Locarno Beach for some windy photo fun (gosh I love long veils and wind!) and then a nearby heritage site, with a final stop at Richmond City Hall. Ley and Len both looked amazing in their wedding attire, and their wedding party looked equally fabulous - I loved the colour scheme of black, silver, and red - it came together particularly well with the bridesmaids' ensembles. The reception was held at one my favourite venues, Richmond Golf and Country Club, with the very cool decor conceived by Ley and Len and then created by friends and family. After an evening of emotional speeches (and a very, very funny video!), it was time to party - and wow, do these folks know how to get down! In fact we were amazed, impressed, and well - blown away - by an impromptu hip-hop dance performance by Ley's brother, Marvin, and Len's sister, Lana - definitely one of the coolest things I've ever seen at a wedding! The photo doesn't quite do it justice, but let me say these two were burning up the dance floor! Ley and Len also spent some time grooving with a few moves of their own, and in fact performed their own little dance routine earlier in the evening. Ley and Len, it was a fun and fantastic day - thank you!
Jessie and Jo - September 7, 2008
Jessie and Jo had one of those epic days - you know, the ones that start early in the morning and finish 14 hours later! A long day indeed, but a very fun one too! We started with coverage of the groom games (a.k.a "groom torture") where Jessie's friends and bridesmaids made Jo and his guys do all kinds of crazy things - let's just say there was a bucket of ice, some whipped cream, and even a little bit of karaoke! Next it was off to two tea ceremonies, and then the wedding ceremony at the beautiful Cecil Green. We followed it up with a a photo session around Cecil Green, Iona Beach, and Richmond City Hall. Now let me say that I have shot at Iona a lot, and it has always been a great spot. However, on this particular day at this particular time, it seemed that every mosquito in the world had gathered at Iona and was quietly waiting for our unsuspecting bridal party to arrive. Needless to say, our photo time at Iona was short! But I have to give major credit to Jessie, who, in her strapless bridal gown, did not have the barrier of Jo's tux and took more than her fair share of bites - fortunately, after seeing the photos she told me it was worth it! (phew...) All throughout the day, Jo always had his arm around Jessie or was ready with a big smile in her direction - he absolutely adores her, and it's clear that the feeling is mutual! The day concluded with a lovely reception at Sun Sui Wah Restaurant - thanks to Jessie and Jo for having us with you!
