A “Dreams” Wedding | Carmen & Livio

We first met Carmen and Livio back in February 2011.  We could tell they were going to be so much fun right from the start – and they more than delivered!  We loved their sense of play – from their awesome couple session at the PNE last year (Livio, you are a STAR for braving that Ferris Wheel despite your fear of heights!) to their wonderful wedding last month at Dreams, Mayan Riviera (think warm breezes and margaritas).

We have to say something about Carmen’s unbelievable organizational skills.  She really was wonderful to work with, even sending us pictures of everyone in the wedding group beforehand so that we’d recognize people – so thoughtful. It was a great step in getting to know their wonderful families and friends who we happily expect to see more of in the days ahead.

Alas, all the planning in the world could not prevent some challenging moments – like Livio getting locked into a washroom at the Cancún airport, and then throwing away his wedding ring into a garbage can (we’re happy to report that both situations ended well though!), and our flight’s navigational system malfunction (which afforded us all 5 hours in the air only to end up in CALGARY, not Cancún)! Still, like destination weddings we’ve covered before, it was all an experience to talk about and in the end, all was well, and we landed in Mexico ready for a treat at the Dreams Riviera Cancún!

And a treat it was…

Congratulations Carmen and Livio! We’re looking forward to your Vancouver reception coming up this weekend! We’ve loved the opportunity to get to know you both so well.

It was also a thrill to work with Raff and Rach again, such a talented and inspiring cinematic duo – the timing couldn’t have been better!! Also, a special thank you to Danielle at Blue Petal Destination Weddings who was instrumental in making the wedding such a success.

Love in Art | The LOVE² Sessions on Mother’s Day

This past weekend we held our first Limited Edition Series of our LOVE² Sessions at the Vancouver Art Gallery. It was a special day because the series of sessions were held on Mother’s Day – a special treat for all of the Moms and their sons and daughters who participated. It was also an amazing day for the two of us to spend together. If you haven’t heard about the LOVE² Sessions, you can read all about it here.

Thank you to everyone for making our day so magical, and reminding us why we love doing what we do. Here is a sneak preview of the sessions.

Randal - Thanks Camilla – Meralon and I also loved seeing you together!May 15, 2012 – 11:15 am

Camilla - That was such an amazing experience for mom and I. Although her and I are so close already, it really did help us have a moment to reconnect and share such a special moment. I recommend the Love2 Sessions to anyone who wants something more than just a pretty picture =)May 15, 2012 – 10:31 am

Randal - Thanks Aimée. Your comments mean a lot to me personally. I’ll also never forget your Grandmother or our session with her and your Mom – Randal.May 15, 2012 – 10:23 am

Aimee - One of my most favorite and dear to my heart sessions was with my Mom and my Grandmother. I love the fact you’re now offering these special sessions, there should never be a reason to not participate, make the time, and you will never look back with any regret.May 15, 2012 – 9:50 am

A Walk in the Tulips | Kayleigh & Luke

What’s the best thing to do on a rainy day in Abbotsford? How about a walk through a field of tulips?! This was one of our stops during Kayleigh and Luke’s couple session just a couple of weeks ago. Our session started at the Birchwood Dairy in Abbotsford and ended near a tulip farm close by. Although it was rainy, the smiles never left Kayleigh and Luke’s faces – they were wonderful to capture from some lighter moments at the Dairy to their walk in the field. We can’t wait for their wedding this summer at Redwoods Golf Course.
