Back in early August, I helped Matt Mendelsohn shoot a destination wedding in Tofino, BC. Matt is an award winning photographer (Photo District News included Matt in its “15 hottest wedding portfolios in Americas” issue) from Washington, DC. Scott Schneider and Meggan Crum, who is the accessories director at InStyle magazine, are from New York. If you look closely at the photos, you probably can spot Meggan’s friend, a very stylish Taylor Tomasi Hill, who is the accessories director at Marie Clarie. Taylor was just full of energy the whole weekend and even tried surfing with her husband. Check out Matt’s blog and pictures he posted on Meggan and Scott. Matt is an amazing photographer and exceptional writer. Be sure to check out portraits of celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman on his site!

I took a lot of pictures over the three days. This gallery has pictures of Meggan and Scott relaxing around Tofino during the first two days before the wedding. The day of the wedding is in this gallery.

Joanne + Zen | Wedding

It was a beautiful day ! Joanne and Zen got married on the MV Burrard Queen off Granville Island on August 28. I could not believe how energetic Joanne was all day after learning she helped set up the boat well past midnight. Also, nobody noticed her walking through pain because she accidentally cut her foot stepping on broken glass the day before. Like most weddings, everything was just a little behind schedule. Joanne was only 30 minutes late but who’s keeping tracking of time on this important day. Joanne and her dad walked so fast to the boat that I was having trouble to keep up with them. If Zen was anxious, he certainly didn’t show it. He calmly walked down the isle and waited for Joanne and her dad.

The rest of the day was just perfect, packed with speeches, slide shows of Joanne and Zen growing up, Croatian dancers and the tea ceremony.

This is a modest campaign created by Victoria Dragon Boat Festival back in 2006 to celebrate the courage of people who are fighting, have beaten, or have succumbed to cancer.

People buy these lanterns on which a message can be written to tribute to anyone they knew who had been diagnosed with cancer. The proceeds would go to the BC Cancer Foundation.
