Every time I look at our wedding photos I can FEEL the butterflies, the nervousness, the overwhelming happy emotions all over again from our special day.

We also love our engagement photos so much. Tommy was open to the locations we chose for our engagement photos as they hold a special meaning for us. Though not the most conventional choice for photos, he captured incredible and beautiful pictures we'll always cherish.

Tommy showed us how to pose so we can look our best. So grateful for that because we are naturally awkward in photos, or at least I am lol. He was so fun and very pleasant to work with as he showed genuine care, knowledge and professionalism.

We can't thank and recommend Kind Photos YVR enough! THE BEST!!

Noele & Jeremy

Tommy is an amazing photographer and a better human being. He takes the time to really get to know his clients so he can deliver the perfect shots for any situation. His professionalism and care really stood out with the photographs he captured for our wedding. We were especially appreciative of his patience and thoughtfulness throughout the entire week - you made our big day that much more special!

JESSE & VICTOR

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!!!

MIRIAM & ROB

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.

Weddings are always an emotional event, but Van and Minh's day in Vancouver felt extra special. The day started at their home, where Minh&rsquo;s parents, visiting from Vietnam, joined the excitement of the upcoming celebration. You could just feel the anticipation in the air as friends and family gathered to see Van and Minh officially tie the knot.
&nbsp;
Minh&rsquo;s sister Melody was incredibly kind and welcoming, showing how close-knit and loving their family is. Of course, their cats, Dior and Louie, added their own charm to the day. We managed to capture some adorable family photos with Minh, his family, and the cats (though Van wasn't around for those &ndash; funny enough, she was missed even by the cats!). The getting-ready moments were filled with joy, with Minh&rsquo;s parents helping him into his suit for the big day.

<h3>The Venue &amp; Getting Ready at Mayfair Richmond Golf Course</h3>
&nbsp;
After spending some time with Minh and his family, I headed to Mayfair Richmond Golf Course, where Van was getting ready. The bridal party looked absolutely adorable in their matching robes, and we managed to capture some fun shots outside in the beautiful light. Van&rsquo;s excitement was contagious &ndash; her entire bridal party was full of energy and ready for the festivities.
&nbsp;
After those cute "getting ready" moments, Van changed into her wedding dress. The time had come for one of my favorite parts of any wedding &ndash; the first look.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q1u-tEr7Rq8

<h3>The Emotional First Look</h3>
&nbsp;
The first look took place in a secluded area on the golf course, with Minh waiting anxiously. I left him there alone to really let the emotions build while I went to get Van. This moment is always one of the highlights of the day for me &ndash; it&rsquo;s such a beautiful, intimate scene. Van looked absolutely breathtaking as she walked up to Minh. The excitement and love between them were undeniable.
&nbsp;
Once Minh turned to see Van, the look on his face said it all. The moment was filled with such genuine emotion &ndash; it was an honor to capture their reactions to seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day. Afterward, we took advantage of the moment to get some photos of the couple, allowing them to share this time together before the ceremony. Doing the first look is such a great idea for couples because it not only provides beautiful emotional photos but also frees up time later for family and party portraits.

<h3>The Ceremony</h3>
&nbsp;
The ceremony was nothing short of touching. Van and Minh exchanged their heartfelt vows in English, which added a sweet, personal touch to their day. They joked that it would be too "cheesy" to say their vows in Vietnamese &ndash; I loved hearing that! Their love was evident to everyone in attendance, and it was so clear how much this couple is adored by their friends and family. After the ceremony, we gathered for more formal family shots before heading into the golden hour for portraits.

<h3>Stunning Golden Hour Portraits</h3>
&nbsp;
The light at Mayfair Richmond Golf Course was perfect for capturing some incredible golden hour portraits of Van and Minh. Their love for each other truly shone through in these shots, and the beautiful scenery provided the ideal backdrop. It&rsquo;s hard to believe they planned this entire wedding in just three months! From the flowers to the decor, every little detail was so thoughtful and perfectly executed. Not to mention, Van was pregnant and they were also moving at the same time &ndash; talk about a power couple!

<h3>Reception Highlights</h3>
&nbsp;
The reception was as moving as the ceremony, filled with heartfelt speeches from the maid of honor and best man. The emotions were running high, and it was clear that everyone there had such deep affection for Van and Minh. It was amazing to witness how they went around to each table, showing their appreciation for all the guests who had joined in celebrating their day.
&nbsp;
As the night went on, there were some fun moments with games, the cake cutting, and of course, the first dance. The kids enjoyed the bouquet toss, and the DJ kept the energy going with great music that had everyone on their feet dancing.

<h3>Final Thoughts</h3>
&nbsp;
I just want to express how grateful I am to have been part of Van and Minh&rsquo;s incredible day. It&rsquo;s clients like them that make my job so rewarding &ndash; their warmth and kindness were felt throughout the entire event. I hope these photos serve as a lasting reminder not only of how beautiful their day was but also of the deep emotions they shared. Van and Minh, thank you again for trusting me to capture these precious memories &ndash; I can't wait to continue documenting your family as it grows!

Richmond Wedding at the Beautiful Mayfair Golf with Van & Minh

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

Robert and Alex I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for the opportunity to capture the moments of your wedding day through photography. From our first meeting at the downtown library to our photo session in South Korea, your trust in me has been both humbling and a true privilege. The faith you placed in me to document your meticulously planned and beautiful ceremony at UBC Botanical Garden is something I will always appreciate.
&nbsp;
Your kindness, understanding, and the joy we shared from the beginning made this entire journey a pleasure. Alex, your attention to detail and your ability to bring such an incredible wedding to life left me in awe. Rob, your loving humor and the way you care for Alex added so much warmth to the occasion.
&nbsp;
Being part of not just the celebration but the planning as well has meant the world to me. Witnessing the love and happiness among your guests and family gave me a glimpse into the wonderful life you have created together.
&nbsp;
One of my favorite spots for capturing photos is Spanish Banks in Vancouver. The view from afar, along with the glow of sunlight through the trees, creates a magical effect that is perfect for photography. This is exactly why Alex and Rob chose it as their first stop on their wedding day. They decided to take family photos before the ceremony, not only to take advantage of the beauty at Spanish Banks but also to enjoy more time at their cocktail hour. This approach gave them fewer photos to worry about later. Spanish Banks offered a picturesque backdrop, resulting in unforgettable moments, and its close proximity to UBC Botanical Garden was both visually appealing and convenient.
&nbsp;
The UBC Botanical Garden, surrounded by lush greenery and captivating displays, is an exceptional setting for photos. Every corner seems to provide another perfect shot, making it a dream venue for weddings. Ceremonies in this enchanting forest setting become even more magical, allowing the natural beauty to enhance every photograph.
&nbsp;
Another amazing feature is the possibility of hosting an outdoor reception in this same garden. Imagine sharing a meal under the stars, surrounded by sparkling lights and the serene atmosphere of the UBC Botanical Garden. It offers an unforgettable ambiance for a celebration that no one would want to miss.
&nbsp;
Please know how much you both mean to me. As you continue on your path, whether you are starting a family or finding your forever home, I would be honored to document any future chapters in your lives.
&nbsp;
Thank you again for everything. Your wedding was one of my greatest dreams to photograph, and I am so thankful you allowed me to be the photographer I always hoped to be. I truly hope our paths cross again soon!

Tips for Planning a Summer Outdoor Wedding at <a href="https://botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/rentals/weddings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UBC Botanical Garden (click here for their website)</a>
The UBC Botanical Garden can provide chairs for the ceremony, as well as tables and chairs for an outdoor reception. However, you or your vendors will need to bring in everything else, from decor to dining equipment. This venue can be costly, and the natural beauty of the location can also make planning more complex. Still, if you are drawn to this magical forest backdrop, be prepared for an unforgettable experience that cannot be found anywhere else in Vancouver. From my experience at Alex and Rob&rsquo;s wedding, here are a few insights and tips to help guide you through your planning at the UBC Botanical Garden.
&nbsp;
<ol>
<li>
Start planning as early as possible This allows you time to work with vendors who have experience at this venue and know their way around the UBC Botanical Garden.
</li>
<li>
Choose experienced vendors Vendors who have worked at this location before can help you avoid any surprises on your wedding day. Their familiarity with the venue can streamline the entire process.
</li>
<li>
Embrace the natural beauty The garden&rsquo;s charm speaks for itself. A minimalist approach to decor can highlight its inherent beauty without overwhelming it.
</li>
<li>
Have a weather backup plan Summer days are lovely, but rain can happen. Consider tent rentals or an indoor alternative. Regardless of rain or shine, remember that you will have an amazing time.
</li>
<li>
Let guests know what to expect Include information in your invitations about the outdoor nature of the ceremony and reception. The terrain can vary, and it can get quite hot in the summer. Letting guests know about the conditions helps them dress comfortably and enjoy the celebration.
</li>
<li>
Provide snacks and water Summer heat can be intense, so having water stations and light refreshments available ensures everyone stays hydrated and happy throughout the day.
</li>
<li>
Plan for comfort Consider offering small folding fans, and remind guests to bring sunscreen and sunglasses. As evening approaches, provide insect repellent since mosquitoes are common. Your guests will be grateful for these little touches.
</li>
</ol>
