Jasmine & Benoit/ September 27, 2008
Photographing Jasmine & Ben’s wedding, simply put, it was a great joy. The two of them are one of the most wonderful people, I have come across. The entire wedding was performed at Delta Ocean Point Resort in Victoria, BC. Though, we went to Parliament building and the Beach for the portrait session. Ben is a third generation Fire Fighter, it is a family tradition, and he managed to bring inn a 1950s Fire Truck at the back of the Parliament building. This was really special, see images below. We ended-up designing a 56 page 11×14 Designer Art Book for them, click link to see the entire book layout.
Ben is from a Canadian French family from Quebec, and his family had come to the wedding to celebrate. Louis and Benoit (mom and dad), send me a thank you letter, and thought to share it with you, truly wonderful people… It was so special to see families from one end of Canada to the other end, blend together. I feel honoured and privileged to be a part of such wonderful celebration.
Dear Lilo,
Louise and I would like to express our sincere thanks for your outstanding work on our son’s wedding Benoit and Jasmine on September 27, 2008.
We have just received the link to your website on which you feature their photo album. What an amazing collection of images! The colours bring the newlyweds and guests to life and render the emotions that we all felt: pure joy and true love. You have forever captured the memories of that day and reminded us of special moments that we shared as a family. Your professionalism, expertise and experience were evident as you photographed Benoit and Jasmine on their wedding day.
We cannot wait to see the real thing!
Continued success.
Sincerely,
Louise and Benoit Laroche
Christina & Dean/ August 24, 2008
Christina & Dean and their two lovely daughters; Ashley and Kailynn are from Calgary, Alberta. Christina, been a West Coast Girl, booked their wedding at the Old English Inn resort in Victoria, BC. Since the time, about 6 moths before the wedding, I spoke with Christina, over the phone, she’s been saying; “I hope it is not going to rain”. Then, we met at the English Inn a day before the wedding, a sunny day, and Christina says again, “I hope it is not going to rain tomorrow”. Guest what, it Rained like never before!
Just about 5 minutes before the Ceremony we decided to change the venue, it was going to be outdoors. Well, we still kept it outdoors, but under cover, just in front of the Hotel Lobby. After the Ceremony, we went to Government House, Victoria, BC. After a few images under the cover, Christina and Dean decided to go in the Rain, yeah babe… This turned-out to be the very best thing they could have imagined for their wedding day, just look at their book layout samples, below. Their book layout can be viewed, in our site in the Album Galleries.
Trudi & Brian, June 7th, 2008
Trudi and Brian’s wedding was celebrated on June 7th, 2008. Ceremony and Reception was at State Winery in Saanich, BC. We photographed the entire wedding at the winery, and it was really a great joy to be with them on their Special day of their lives. Trudi and Brian ordered a 60 page 11×14 book, samples below. What a joy to see so much Love in them.
Amanda & Erik/ May 31st, 2008
Amanda and Erik are from Seattle WA. They got married in Victoria, BC. on May 31st, 2008. I am going back in time here, as I started the blog on March of 2009. Ceremony was held in the beautiful St. Ann’s Academy. We started the day with the Bride and Groom’s preps and kept photographing their wedding till we covered the dance at about 10 pm.
Amanda and Erik are very kind and special people. It was a great joy and a privilege to photograph and be a part of their special day.
After the wedding, we build a 54 page 11×14
Designer Art Book, which is posted on our site within the Album Galleries. Here are few samples of their book pages.
