Jericho Beach Engagement Photography Session with Neela & Mike

Posted on August 26, 2013 by Megan Elrick

It was a gorgeous summer evening at Jericho Beach; a spot that is special to Neela & Mike because it’s where they had their first “date”. (Although Mike told me it wasn’t really a date, because they were just suppose to be ‘hanging out’ and Neela had tricked him.)

As always, I didn’t want anything too “posey” or “cheesy”, and opt’d for a more relaxed, fun, and authentic atmosphere with their photos.

We hung out at the beach a bit, then to get out of the hot sun, found some shade under some willow trees that surround the pond at Jericho Beach.

There was lots of laugher, and I had a great time hanging out and getting to know this couple a bit more!

We’re all super stoked about their New Years Eve Wedding this year!

Great photo spots: Londsdale Quay, North Vancouver

Posted on August 23, 2013 by Jamie Poh

Happy Friday FCI readers! Today we’re writing about a great spot in Vancouver for photo taking, Londsdale Quay! Surprisingly we have yet to have a North Vancouver wedding or photoshoot! If you’ve never been to the Quay, it’s a great place to check out. If you like Granville Island or New Westminster Quay, this is a happy medium. It is a bit smaller than Granville Island but bigger than New West. To get there by transit you do have to take the sea bus which I find exciting and different from everyday transit trips.

Umbrellas

This was a neat little patio by the park. I still can’t figure out exactly what it is. My senses tell me it is a restaurant of some type however on Google Maps it comes up as a furniture and design store.

Fresh Strawberries

You can find lots of fruit, meat and candy vendors as well as home craft stands. It’s vibrant colours make for great indoor shots!

Vancouver skyline

Out along the entrance of the pier, there is a great view of the city skyline and a nice walk way with some greenery.

As you walk out from the market away from the seabus terminal, there is an old train ticket stand it looks like that has been maintained with fresh paint but still holds a great rustic feel.

If trees and grass aren’t you’re style, the pier leads on towards more industrial type scenery with lots of benches.

Londsdale Quay has lots of great spots for awesome photos with both grassy green tones as well as more metallic and industrial settings!

Queen Elizabeth Park Engagement Session with Geane & Jesse

Engagement Session Queen Elizabeth Park Geane and Jesse Summer

“Seriously, I almost cried looking through them. I absolutely love them” – Geane

Vancouver is truly a stunning city! We picked Queen Elizabeth Park for its quiet gardens, and epic look out. I had hoped that it would be warmer, and I could maybe get Geane & Jesse playing in the water fountain, but no such luck!

(Maybe some other couple will be down!)

Geane & Jesse were both total naturals in front of the camera, and you can tell they’re really in love! I can’t wait for their winter wonderland wedding this December!

Mike’s Proposal to Bonney on Quarry Rock in Deep Cove

Posted on June 21, 2013 by Megan Elrick

Our photographer, Jamie, hiked all the way up to Quarry Rock with her camera on her back to capture the beautiful proposal of this super outdoorsy-athletic couple Mike and Bonny.

As Bonny tells the story; she knew something was funny when Mike picked her up in jeans and had a backpack for a hike. “Mike never wear pants! And definitely doesn’t bring a pack on a short hike!” she said.
