Katie + John’s North Vancouver Wedding

October 5, 2020
Featured  ·  Photography  ·  Wedding

This wedding day was truly a day that so many of us have been waiting for. Katie and Johns original wedding was set for March 25th, 2020 at the Wallace in North Vancouver, BC. DAYS before they were supposed to walk down the aisle they received the crushing news that none of us had foreseen, the global COVID pandemic caused the government to issue a lock down and forced them to cancel their wedding. It was crushing for many!

After months of back and forth’s and in the end they decided to continue with most of the original plans and just down size to be an intimate wedding. There were so many potentials that many brides had considered, a small elopement, intimate wedding or possibly postponing to allow a larger gathering. In the end they wanted to be married the most and did so in front of 50 of their friends and family. All I can say is it was absolutely breathtaking. The entire day was filled with laugher and joy, tears and so many timeless memories for everyone and I couldn’t be more honoured to have been there to capture this for them.

We explored the Cleveland Dam and the stunning hatchery in West Vancouver and finished off with a breathtaking sunset on The Pier along the ocean front near The Wallace in the North Vancouver Shipyard. It was what dreams are made of, for couples and myself as a photographer.

Here are just a few sneak peeks of their day and the special moments that we got to experience.

Let's freeze this moment in time, together

Getting ready photos? They’re not just makeup to Getting ready photos? They’re not just makeup touch-ups and dress zips.
They’re the quiet glances, deep breaths, and little moments that mark the shift from “fiancé” to “bride.”

You might wonder—is it really worth capturing these parts of the day?
Here’s my honest take:

PROS:
→ It’s a slow, gentle start to a big day
→ Emotions are fresh and real
→ You’re surrounded by your people—your closest circle
→ The details shine (rings, perfume, florals, heirlooms)

CONS:
→ Honestly? There aren’t many.

If we plan your timeline with intention, this part becomes one of the most meaningful chapters of the day.

Golden hour just knows how to show up. Sam brought Golden hour just knows how to show up.
Sam brought her calm energy to this session—and watching her with her little one was such a reminder of how much love lives in the in-between moments.

The way she snuggles her babe, the way she laughs—it’s the kind of stuff you’ll never regret capturing.
Motherhood doesn’t slow down, but you can absolutely hit pause like this.
Not every champagne pop goes to plan… and that’s okay 😅

This groom gave it everything—but when the bottle didn’t spray, he improvised (by throwing it out of the bottle lol and honestly, I’m not mad about it. It was hilarious!

Want the spray and the sparkle on your wedding day? 

Here’s your 3-step champagne pop guide for wedding-day magic:
	1	Chill your bottle beforehand (this builds pressure for a good spray).
	2	Loosen the cage and hold the bottle at a 45° angle, away from faces.
	3	Once the cork pops, quickly place your thumb over the opening and give it a gentle shake—just like a garden hose. Instant celebration!

Whether it’s picture-perfect or pure chaos, these are the moments you’ll be laughing about for years.
There’s something so timeless about a woman in h There’s something so timeless about a woman in her wedding gown—before the music plays, before the guests arrive, before the day officially begins.

It’s that quiet space where emotions stir, anticipation builds, and the beauty of this chapter really sinks in.

This bridal session was all of that and more—soft light, still air, and the reminder that being fully present in your day is what makes it unforgettable.

Don’t rush these moments. Let’s give you the space to take it all in, and remember how it felt.
