J+C PHOTOGRAPHY

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! Happy holidays and wishing you all the best in 2010!

Please excuse the Ren and Stimpy reference (a controversial cartoon from the early 90s for you young’uns) but it’s always gratifying to get positive feedback from clients.  In this case, Cheryl and Bert have posted up their engagement photos onto their wedding website.  It’s worth a read if you enjoy reading cute proposal stories.

In case you were wondering, this is the shot they’re talking when they mentioned a shot risking lives to take.  Apparently they found it very impressive that I would lay down in the middle of the road and keep taking pictures and giving them directions… even with traffic coming up behind me!

Once again we got featured on Rock ‘n Roll Bride, this time it’s Aurora’s intimates shoot.  This shoot was definitely something a bit different and the results were outstanding!

Cheryl and Bert came to us with very short notice with the request that we shoot somewhere that highlighted the beautiful fall colors since their wedding colors were to be coral and brown. Living on opposite ends of the continent and in different countries (she in Vancouver and he in New Jersey), we had an extremely small window of opportunity to make this shoot happen. Couple this with typically rainy Vancouver weather for November, it would take a minor miracle for this shoot to come to fruition as planned. Luckily for Cheryl and Bert, everything aligned up perfectly and we were able get some gorgeous shots to commemorate their engagement.

Congratulations Cheryl and Bert! It’s readily apparent just how in love you two are with each other!

Inspired by classic horror films where the protagonist is watched unbeknownst except by the audience, we shot this highly unique intimates set. Rather than the usual crisp, highly glamorous and typical boudoir shoots we sought after a dark and gritty feel to the images. Aurora was looking for something sexy yet different from the norm and we were happy to deliver exactly that!

Random update spam…

While going through to prep a couple of more recent shoots, I noticed that there have been some older material sitting on my computer unpublished on the blog.  Some may have been seen before in our portfolio but others have yet to have been seen on our site.

So here they come in one large random post.

First off, some from Brenda…

Next up, some intimates from Mitzi…

And finally, some couples shots of Angie and Ben.

Laura and Matt were looking for engagement photos at the beach as their wedding will be a destination wedding and they wanted to send out some beach-inspired save the date cards.  Now this normally isn’t an odd request or a particularly challenging proposition but this happened to be Vancouver… in October!  As luck would have it, we managed to catch what will likely be one of the last sunny weekends of the year for their engagement shoot.  After a couple of misfires including a (highly legal of course!) U-turn on a highway, an unexpected train crossing, an abundance of drab greyness at our primary location and conflicting with a wedding(!) at our backup location, we finally managed to complete the shoot with some gorgeous light at a very sandy little out of the way spot!

We’re featured on Rock ‘n Roll Bride!  For those of you who aren’t familiar with the site, Rock ‘n Roll Bride features weddings that are a bit off-beat with a rock ‘n roll flair.  It’s an awesome site loaded with a ton of unique wedding features and great photography.  Thanks for featuring us Kat!

Some shots from Janet & Eric’s lovely wedding.  A lesson learned from this wedding: bridesmaids aren’t happy girls at 5:30 AM.  They were much happier after Starbucks opened an hour later and they were able to get their morning coffee!

Blistering hot day but the shots sure were worth it!
