Swan-E-Set Wedding – Marian & Jason
“April showers bring in May flowers.”
Rain showers is definitely something I’m getting more and more comfortable (and used to seeing) this time of the year. Maybe not so much when you have to take photos for a wedding. A lot goes through your mind and how many things can go wrong when you’re dealing with mother nature. But those worries fade away once you start pressing the shutter button on your camera to snap those special moments of the amazing people you’ll be working with such as Marian and Jason.
A week before the wedding, I had a meeting with Marian and Jason to quickly chat about and finalize their wedding timeline and of course, the weather topic came up. As I have always advised my clients, it’s always a good idea to have a plan B if the weather doesn’t cooperate – meaning, let’s get some umbrellas in hand. Wedding day came and we were right about the weather not being too nice, but luckily, we got some rain breaks when it’s needed most. I’m so proud of Marian and Jason, as well as the entire bridal party for sticking out the wet weather to get their shots in. None of them didn’t mind the rain, and from what Marian, Jason and I agreed on, a little rain on your wedding day means that it’s a nice blessing from our Father up above 🙂 Here are some snaps from their day. Congrats again to Marian and Jason.
Langley Wedding: Jessica & James
Jessica and James’ wedding was a nice small wedding that was held on a day where no one expected the sun to come out as brightly as it did. We were all praying and hoping that it wouldn’t be a wet weather considering that the forecast had been dreary for a good couple of months prior. But yes, the sun came out, and everyone who attended their wedding rocked out sunglasses on their outdoor ceremony. Everything was all set once I got to the venue and got some shots of their reception set up, and a few shots of both the groom and his groomsmen, and the bride-to-be with her bridesmaids. The ceremony was short and sweet, and I was so thrilled to capture Jessica and James’ very special day. Here are some snaps from their fantastic wedding day.
Surrey Wedding – Jessica And Boyet (part deux)
Day 2
After a super windy and cloudy wedding day, the sun managed to hide once again and gave us quite a wet weather. Some occasional downpours got me worried and wondered if we will ever get some decent photos of Jessica, Boyet and the bridal party. We did however talked about plan B, which is bringing some umbrellas and we can incorporate them in the photo session. And with an unexpected little hiccup in the timeline, we managed to dodge the downpours and got some shots outdoors. Outdoor pictures done = happy bridal party, happy bride and groom.
Surrey Wedding: Jessica And Boyet
Day 1
First wedding of the season and we were greeted with some spring showers and strong winds. I sometimes don’t bother checking the forecast anymore because of inaccuracy (just in Vancouver), but I still hope that we don’t get too washed out. Nevertheless, it was a very special day for our couple, Jessica and Boyet. Their traditional Hindu wedding ceremony started off at Vedic Cultural Centre, where the temple is decorated with vibrant colours and floral arrangements. Friends and families gathered as they started off with welcoming Boyet in the family with some pre-wedding rituals. It was definitely interesting to see traditional weddings and how they are start off with their ceremonies. You can feel the love and welcoming of Jessica’s family to Boyet as one of their own, and they all did it with lots of laughter and joy.
Here are some snaps from the first day. Stay tuned for the snaps on Day 2 on the next blog.
