Farah & Aleem | Wedding

It was a day of sun amidst many many rainy ones that helped make this a perfect day for Farah & Aleem. The Ismaili Ceremony was at the iconic Jamatkhana in Burnaby with the reception at The Pinnacle Hotel at The Pier.   So many beautiful details from the groomsmen's bow ties and pocket squares from Lanvin Paris, to the bright pop of color of the bridesmaid dresses to the decadent florals by Granville Island Florist. Farah & Aleem did an amazing job planning and designing this incredible day! It was such an honor to be a part of it... thank you! Wishing you much love and laughter for many years to come... xoxo

Simone & Stephen | Wedding

Upon meeting Simone & Stephen, I knew this was not going to be a typical wedding. Not only are they so much fun to be around (their energy is absolutely infectious), they let me in on some of their ideas for their big day. Both living in Los Angeles and working in the entertainment industry, they wanted to inject some Hollywood flare... and that they did! From having Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers walk down the aisle, to great live Frank Sinatra-esque singing acts throughout the evening. Simone & Stephen had so many beautiful details that were uniquely their own... it was truly a beautiful day!
