We highly recommend hiring Tommy as a wedding photographer! He did an amazing job for a wedding and went above and beyond in so many ways, always responding quickly and with great ideas for places to shoot. The photos turned out great and give us some great memories both before and during the wedding, including a coincidental photo shoot we were able to do Seoul while both travelling. Thanks again Tommy and take care!

Tommy is fantastic! I highly recommend booking Tommy for a lifestyle shoot, for portraits or an event. He is very kind and courteous, and explains how you should pose to get the most out of the picture. Also, candid shots of memorable moments were taken without even feeling like Tommy was interfering. We booked him for our wedding and every part of the experience was positive and professional; from the initial inquiry up to receiving images. He took such extraordinary pictures in Pacific Spirit Park during our ceremony, beautiful portraits and fun photos from our reception. We cannot emphasize enough how happy we were to have booked Tommy. Having him as our photographer was a five star experience!!!

Hi Tommy, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, for not only capturing the photos but also making sure that I feel zero stress on my big day. Having a photographer like you makes it easier for us to be ourselves, and that's why all the photos looked so natural and you were able to capture every special moment. It went by so quickly, but those photos you took made us able to relive the biggest day of my life. You were able to capture the love, joy, and happy tears which were the most important for me. All of the photos are works of art.

ROSE & HOANG

Working with Tommy has been an absolute joy. I highly recommend hiring Tommy as a wedding photographer. Tommy truly exceeded our expectations, not just on our wedding day but also in the lead-up to it. He provided invaluable assistance with wedding planning, generously sharing his expertise and experience. Tommy is deeply passionate, incredibly skilled,  professional, and remarkably responsive. He consistently welcomes feedback to ensure our photos reflect our preferences. He was amazing at capturing stunning shots with our dogs during photoshoots! Our experience with Tommy was simply fantastic.

Have you ever wondered why pre-wedding and post-wedding photoshoots are a must? They give you a chance to create truly magical images that just aren't possible on the busy wedding day itself. On a typical wedding day, you might get 30 minutes to an hour at with most for bride and groom portraits. Sure, you&rsquo;ll get some beautiful shots, but nothing like what I captured for Carman and Charles at Deep Cove.

This session was special because we had time to explore, to relax, and to really capture the dreamy, light-heated, and romantic vibe photos for Carman and Charles. We started early, just after sunrise when their was mist still creating this ethereal atmosphere. The light was simply breathtaking, with soft, golden rays peeking through the mist, setting the perfect stage for these two.

We wandered from the pier to a quiet spot by the lake, surrounded by flowers and trees. Every corner of Deep Cove seemed to offer a new and stunning backdrop. I even brought along my trusty bubble gun for some added fun, which always adds a bit of magic to the shoot.

After wrapping up at the pier, we moved to a nearby forest area. Carman and Charles were just the sweetest, kind-hearted and full of love, which made my job so much more enjoyable. Their connection shines through in every photo, and it's shoots like these that remind me why I love what I do.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of this incredible journey with Carman and Charles, where we head to downtown Vancouver for more stunning photos!

Deep Cove Ethereal Wedding Photoshoot: Capturing Carman & Charles at Sunrise in Deep Cove

I can&rsquo;t express enough how grateful I am to have been a part of Rose and Hoang&rsquo;s wedding. My first-ever engagement photo shoot was with them, and I ventured into it without knowing what to expect. It took just one photoshoot to change my life and inspire me in ways I had never imagined. I had never envisioned myself becoming a wedding photographer, but capturing these moments for my close friends meant more to me than anything else I&rsquo;ve ever done. Seeing the joy and happiness on their faces when they received the photos was life-changing. This is why I continue to do what I do&mdash;to be a part of people&rsquo;s stories and to keep creating beautifully crafted, emotional narratives that document life&rsquo;s greatest moments. Once again, I can&rsquo;t thank them enough. To me, they were the ones who started it all!

If you've lived in Vancouver, you know that we have unpredictable weather. Everyone hopes for a sunny wedding day. But there's something else to be said about rain on your wedding day; it definitely creates an ambiance unlike any other. No matter rain or shine, the most important part of a wedding is the emotions and feelings of the day and the coming together of both families, sharing in moments of joy and laughter. Brix and Mortar is an incredible venue that has an outdoor ceremony space that's completely covered, even if it's raining. This is the huge benefit of having a wedding at Brix and Mortar. Their ceremony space is unlike any other in Vancouver; it has a unique vibe with greenery and lights that create an ambiance unlike any other.

Another great part about having a wedding at Brix and Mortar is its location in a Vancouver area with many great spots for photographs. On this day, we went to the downtown library. Even though it was raining, we were still able to get amazing shots at the library with its amazing architecture providing shelter from the rain, still able to capture incredible photographs of the couple.

Ever wondered what it&rsquo;s like to Photograph a summer wedding in the heart of Chilliwack? Noele and Jeremy&rsquo;s wedding was a beautiful, relaxed celebration on a hot July day and it was an honor to photograph from start to finish.
&nbsp;
We began the day at a hotel in Abbotsford, where both Noele and Jeremy got ready with their bridal parties. There were plenty of laughter and&nbsp; hilarious moments with Jeremy and the boys. Jeremy has been a long-time coworker of mine, I was incredibly grateful that I got to document this special moment for him. Noele and her bridesmaids were all incredibly sweet, and you could just feel the love and care they had for each other.
&nbsp;

The first look took place at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve, a location that offered stunning views of a lake.&nbsp; I could see the motion in Noele's eyes as she walked up behind Jeremy and gave him a hug. Tears flowed and it was a beautiful moment to capture&nbsp; and witness. We took some quick group shots with the bridal party and some just bride and groom portraiture before heading to the Yarrow Community Centre, the venue they had booked for the wedding.

The Yarrow Community Centre was a perfect choice for their laid-back wedding and beautiful. They had spent the day before setting up, and the venue looked incredible, with a charming baby blue color theme that matched Jeremy&rsquo;s tux. The ceremony took place in the shade, keeping everyone cool and comfortable, which was a blessing on such a hot day, definitely a luxury of having a wedding at The Yarrow Community Centre.

The evening was filled with heartfelt speeches, lively dances, and incredible energy from the bridal party. Noele and Jeremy truly light up any room they enter, and their wedding was a testament to the love and joy they bring to those around them.
