VANCOUVER GAY WEDDING AT HART HOUSE

Daniella Guzzo Photography invited me along to capture Icarus and Ben’s wedding with her last fall. They flew in Hong Kong with all of their family and friends and I am so grateful for the invite. My favourite part of the day happened right after the ceremony ended. A long line of family and friends formed in front of the two grooms stretching from the front of the aisle to the back of the room. However, it wasn’t just a quick hug and congratulations. Each greeting was filled with so much love and passionate intent. Each hug lasted literally forever. As each loved one approached Icarus & Ben, it would always start off with a giant lingering embrace, followed by yells of excitement, and waterfalls of tears that streamed off each person’s face. I have never seen such an emotional outpour of love like this at a wedding. To see EVERY single guest, the men, the women, allowing themselves to be unapologetically vulnerable, unable to hold back their tears of joy was the most inspiring thing. It was constant. It was infinite. I consider myself so lucky to have have had the opportunity to experience this. Thank you […]

CAMP FIRCOM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

One of the things I love about Alex & Ian is the effortless way they connect with each other. They put each other at ease, with even a simple glance. When they told me about their wedding at Camp Fircom, I knew it would be something special. Family and friends traveled from all over to the beautiful Gambier Island, even as far as Mexico where some of Alex’s family was from. The dancing at the end of the night was definitely a highlight for me. Everyone just let loose, opened their hearts and just, danced!

VANCOUVER GAY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER – MATT & CHAD

Matt & Chad Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre October 21st, 2017 Matt & Chad’s wedding celebration was simply about gratitude. The most touching part of the day, that I will remember for the rest of my life, was moments after cocktail hour had ended and guests were sitting down for dinner. Each one of Matt & Chad’s guests were greeted by a personalized handwritten card at their spots, and to see each persons genuine reaction while reading their letters was so very magical. It was gesture so simple, but for me was such a beautiful and thoughtful gift. My heart was full that day and it still is.

NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE GAY WEDDING – DEXTER & ANDREW

I traveled to Ontario in August to photograph a gorgeous gay wedding in Niagara-On-The-Lake, Dexter & Andrew’s celebration at Riverbend Inn! The amount of love that filled the air was indescribable. Dexter & Andrew, who reside in Hong Kong, brought with them many loved ones across the ocean to join them in their celebration. I am so honoured to have had Dexter & Andrew discover and connect with me. They took a chance on someone across the world from them to document their day and I am forever grateful.
