Shazhan and Salim

Laughter and smiles, lots of friends and family, and a beautiful day made this gorgeous couple's wedding a day to remember! Shazhan and Salim had their ceremony and a scrumptious luncheon downtown at the light filled open space of Vancouver's Law Courts. In the evening, everyone went to the Hotel de Soleil's Copper Chimney Restaurant on Hornby Street and let it all hang out on the dancefloor. Congratulations, Shazhan and Salim!

We just happened to be standing around in downtown Vancouver, talking about our friend's wedding, when this paparazzo swung by and took our picture....

2009 Brock House Wedding Show a success!

Brides-to-be brought their friends, mothers (and even their fiance's) to a great show in one of Vancouver's most beautiful wedding venues! Some of the best vendors in the wedding business were there to show their work and give ideas at Brock House. A turn-of-the-century Manor where the food and staff are great, your view is of the mountains and ocean and you are steps away from beautiful Jericho Beach and the park. All-in-one fantastic! My wife Regina and I really enjoyed spending time with prospective brides and their friends and hanging out with old friends and peers in the wedding industry.

There were fashion shows featuring beautiful designs from Isabelle's Bridal and Caroline Calvert Couture, Bridesmaid's dresses from Frocks and Groom's tuxedos from The Tux Store. Halfyard Designs and Jeweliette completed the looks with eye-catching blooms and fashion jewellry and DJ Zach Shore played the tunes to pace the groove.

While people sipped (or gulped... I SAW you! ;-D) wines from Peller Estates and enjoyed appetizers from the Brock House chefs, a string quartet from Musical Occasions played sweet and vibrant classical music. For a hot and flavourful pick-me-up, Lorne Berkun of Skyline Espresso (email him at lorne_berkun@yahoo.ca for your events) showed his élan pouring his delightful specialty coffees. Sunam Lighting and Productions created a great ambiance along with A&B Party Rentals completing the decor. Erik from Love Story Media recorded the show with his Canon pro camera and a steadycam.

Congratulations to the whole team at Dreamgroup Productions for a fun, informative and beautiful show!

Simrin and John

Simrin and John live in New York, but have their beautiful wedding planned for October here in Vancouver. We strolled around for an hour and made these engagement portraits together. A wonderful and photogenic couple, I'm looking forward to the wedding!
