I arrived at the house before the bride arrived which allowed me to get some great detail shots.
Once Leah arrived I could tell she was really nervous but as soon as we started shooting she loosened up and we had a great time! Of course, the champagne helped too...
Gus, the 6 month old family pup, was enthralled with all the activity until he got stung by a bee. Poor Gus!
The ceremony was at the United Church on 15th and Burrard. I LOVE that little church! It's so small and intimate and the stained glass windows are amazing! Both Leah & Doug tried so hard not to cry but Leah came prepared with her handkerchief tucked in a "safe" place. She may have thought no one noticed...
After the ceremony we did some traveling around our beautiful city.
Just a little background - Leah & Doug are high school sweethearts and are quite young (23). So it's only inevitable that the groomsmen (who are also quite young) tend to be rather... 'playful'... to say the least. They kept me in stitches with their antics.
The reception was held at the Rowing Club in Stanley Park. The light was amazing by the time the couple arrived so I had to take them down by the water.
Even though Leah & Doug are just beginning their lives together at an early age, it's clear that their love runs deep. They're going to have a life filled with joy and happiness! You can just feel it when you're around them!
