Vancouver Wedding - Michelle & Andrew

Michelle and Andrew got married on May 23, 2009.  I can not believe over a month has passed already!  If you didn't read the post with their engagement photos, you can find it here

I had a fantastic time photographing their wedding, spending the whole day with Michelle and her bridesmaids while they got ready and all the way into the wee hours of the morning.  An amazing couple, close friends and a hot sunny day on a yacht in Vancouver's Coal Harbour... what a day!  Below are a few photos of the day but go to my Wedding|Engagement Gallery here to view all of my favourites.

 

I must thank my good friend Ben Benvie for photographing the wedding with me.  Since Andrew and Michelle are close friends of mine, I was also a guest at their wedding as well as the photographer.  Ben was able to capture this flattering moment of me sampling their delicious cupcakes, proof that I was actually at their wedding, thanks Ben!  (click here to view more images from the day).

Engagement | Michelle & Andrew

My husband and I met Michelle 10 years ago in Jerusalem.  Michelle latched onto us one morning at 4am just as we were all leaving our hostel to go on a day trip to the Dead Sea.  She was traveling alone and we welcomed the company.  We remained close friends ever since.  Michelle and Andrew are getting married in a couple of weeks in Vancouver and I am very excited that they asked me to be their photographer.  For their engagement session they wanted to go back to their old neighborhood in Calgary where they spent a lot of their time as a new couple getting to know each other and playing with Elskan, their adorable dog that recently passed away.  Jingo is the new canine addition to their family, adopted from Mexico, he arrived just a few months ago and sat in for a few of the photos!
