Priscilla + Mike Pre-Wedding Session

↑ Photo by Raymond

Most of our engagement and pre-wedding sessions in this year were shot in places near city area. However, Priscilla and Mike picked the beautiful places that we seldom shot at. The long narrow bridge across the water (or lake?) was very cool. TT Films' Tony and Tim shot along with us on the day. Priscilla told us Tim almost dropped into water. Too bad... we didn't capture that moment :-) Mike didn't feel well and coughing on the day but it didn't affect our shoot much.

We still didn't have a chance to test the new Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART lens. We are happy with Canon 50mm F/1.2L but we want to have a better lens to replace our backup Canon 50mm f/1.4.

Sharon + Eric Maternity Session

↑ Photo by Raymond

We were very lucky to shoot Sharon & Eric's maternity session a bit earlier. Their baby daughter just arrived last week.

Weather was very unstable in the period of time. Raymond spent about half an hour to shoot their sunset part 3 days before their actual session. Then, Raymond and Billy shot their session on the unexpected sunny day. Usually, we wouldn't go too many places in maternity session (Long walk is bad for pregnant women). This time we went to 3 locations in 2.5 hours but we didn't feel too rush.

After finishing most engagement, baby, family, and pre-wedding sessions, we are going to pause for a while and start again after Jessie's baby arrives.

6 Months Old Amina Photo Session

As a wedding photographer, I think nothing is better than knowing couples' families grow. We are so lucky to be part of a happy family's history and memory.

Shooting Mai & Don's engagement session and wedding day was an unforgettable experience. It was the first time we met a couple who wanted super super cool photos so badly. Don took off his shirt under 7 degrees during the e-session... We went to some unusual places to shoot... Their wedding was on the hottest day of the year...

Now, I returned for their 6 months old daughter, Amina - a super cute baby! The whole session was very smooth because she could stay awake and very cooperative in 2 hours. I can't wait to return for her first birthday shoot!

Brenda + Tyler Engagement Session

In last Winter, I shot a short session with them at the ice rink where they had their first date. This year, Billy and I were back to shoot their Spring session.

Every year's April had very unstable weather in Vancouver. We almost rescheduled Brenda & Tyler's Spring engagement shoot for the second time. None of us knew we rescheduled it on VanDulsen Garden's free admission day. It had 10 times more visitors than a regular Sunday. Therefore, we spent a bit more time at the inner part of the garden first and shot at the popular places before it closed. Then, we took some night shots at Gas Town after sunset. (P.S. I noticed Gas Town's stream clock didn't match the time randomly)

Jessie will be back to the team on their wedding day!
