On Saturday, August 22nd, I shot a wedding reception for Stephanie and Stephen, with the help of Phil. They hired a photographer to shoot the ceremony and formals and asked my friend to shoot the reception. I volunteered to shoot the reception so that my friend could relax and have fun, instead of struggling to get the right exposure in a dark hall. The official photographer ended up sticking around longer than agreed, which was very nice of him, and we tried to stay out of his way. I had a lot of fun shooting this spirited crowd. I loved the bridal party’s classic gangster style suits and black satin dresses. The bride and groom looked amazing as well and there were some really impressive dancers in the crowd. I got some images that I really love, and I hope you’ll love them too.






Reception location: Church of the Advent, Colwood, BC
