Serendipity in Vancouver
Sometimes you meet people, for reasons beyond that are obvious straight away, and that’s completely how K and I both felt when we met to do her and R’s engagement shoot in Vancouver Canada. I was in Vancouver photographing an engagement shoot for Richard & Kristi, who met me at one of the weddings I shot in Canada, and asked If I could shoot their engagement and wedding pictures! I got the shock of my life when they told me the wedding was in Maui, Hawaii… and that they would fly me there to shoot it! Wicked!
You might remember that I put a photo of a guy with a ferrett on my blog while I was in Vancouver, and K was a blog reader, so she saw that and contacted me and organised for me to shoot her engagement photos the following morning at 7am. I’m always up for last minute randomness so I was happy!
K is a weddingbee blogger, which basically means that she’s rather famous in the online wedding world.. and thousands of brides around the world read her blog looking for inspiration for their own wedding.. so I felt EXTREMELY privileged to be asked to take these photos for her and R.
K and R are getting married this November in the Dominican Republic, and unfortunately they already booked another photographer to shoot their wedding.. but I was lucky enough to get to spend this time with them doing their engagement photos.
I can’t wait to hang out with you guys again. I will be back!
Welcome to everyone that has arrived here from WeddingBee! You know you’re totally welcome here and I hope to see you commenting and checking this place out daily!
To see more from this shoot, go to my main website www.jamesday.com.au and enter the website (not the Journal) and enter the client access code “serendipity” to view more photos.
In other news, I have Matt and Katie from the Shadowplay team visiting until tuesday. They’re rocking it out with me tomorrow at Alex and Danikas Wedding. Matt does video, Katie does photo.. so it’s going to be pretty much an intense, but fun day. We also have another Matt visiting from X-Sight Brisbane who will be shooting with us as well.. Alex and Danika are going to have a whole team of photogs, and a video!

p.s. Lauren, you’re amazing and I love you more every day.
Gorgeous shots James! I love the first one in front of the love sign! and the second…and the chair one. Oh we all know I’m terrible at picking faves!
Oh James! Could that LOVE sculpture be any more perfect! I LOVE how she coordinated her dress to be the perfect shade of blue to match. Beautiful work as always
Stunning photos JD. Your clients will be rapt for sure!
Couldn’t wait to squizz at the others in client area, then almost couldn’t remember how to spell “serendipity!”
They’re wonderful…
I’m a weddingbee reader, and when I saw these photos, oh, was I so very sad that I’m already married and don’t have a reason to hire you! I so very rarely have an emotional reaction to wedding/engagement photos, even though I browse them almost every day, but your photos make me want to smile in such an honest way and they make me warm and fuzzy inside. Bravo, James! You are amazing.
