Lana & Chris: E-Session on the peak of Vancouver!

Grouse Mountain Engagement Session


A sunny day, a sweet couple and a short gondola ride to this chilly e-session with Lana & Chris.



Kat's first shot of the day, cutesy and fun. Yepp they went skating.



Lana is an awesome skater, Chris too. ;) They could do some really cool moves and Chris would even hold Lana up as they skated around. Us... not so much, we slipped and almost fell a few times. :S


Oh yes, and the hockey sticks came out too.


Some more spinning and fun, in front of the sun...

Wooooshhhhh!

Dan was covered in ice after this shot. His favorite lens needed a good cleaning too, but it's all good, we love the shot.

And inside for a few intimate shots. Not skates here, no worries of photographers slipping either!

And then outside for a few view shots. And more spinning too!

Thanks so much guys for letting us hang out with you. Props to you two for great ideas and suggesting we all head up to grouse. We had a blast with you two and can't wait till your big day.

Good vibes your way

Dan & Kat: Behind the Lens

Whoa! What a year it was! 2009 holds nothing but fond memories for us, and hopefully for our awesome newly weds too! All throughout our blog and site, there is almost nothing but images of pretty people, white dresses, and perfectly pressed suits...I mean sure, we are wedding photographers. But we thought for the new year we would show a bunch of shots that have been accumulating on hard drives all year long, and we are dying to do something with them.

It's a bunch of "behind the lens" stuff. Either Kat shot something of Dan dangling from a ledge over an ocean risking life, limb and camera to get the perfect angle, or Dan shot something of Kat making a bunch of groomsmen do something completely embarrassing and hilarious to get that perfect...ridiculous...shot! Or maybe you'll see a shot or two of our FANTASTIC assistants, playing with kids to get them to smile, holding lights or mountains upon mountains of gear and just generally being awesome. Speaking of assistants, thank you so much to Brent, Matt and Ali for such an awesome year... You guys really do ROCK!

You will most definitely see the occasional groomsmen, bridesmaid or even GROOM holding the light for us, cuz in a pinch, everyone's a trooper ;)

Enjoy this "not-to-often" seen perspective on what we do... And how we have so much fun doing it! Yes there are a few goofy/geeky shots in here too ;) ;) ;)

Enjoy

Happy 2010 all,
Rock ON!

Top 20

As photographers, we are very attached to many images we've shot. Here are some favorites from this year... they may not be everyone's favs, but we're very fond of the 20 images below. It was very difficult to narrow hundreds and hundreds of images down to 20! These are our favs....maybe it's because of awesome hair, retro airplanes, or cute animals, but for some reason we just LOVE these shots. And we thought we would re-visit them on the first day or two of the new year to remember how much FUN we had in 2009.

We look forward to 2010 and so many more superfantastic couples and images to be made!

Thanks for taking a gander,

And best wishes for 2010

Dan & Kat
