“She is everything. My love, my best friend, my forever companion.”
One year ago we were photographing their engagement in the streets of New York City and this past weekend, we were photographing their I do’s overlooking the ocean in Vancouver. When I think about each of these occasions my heart fills with gratitude. Randy and Sumeuy are the kind of couple who reminds me why it is that I love what I do; they are some of the kindest people you’ll meet. Friends and family were there to witness and celebrate from all over the globe – the US, Australia, France, China – and you got the feeling that everyone shared a similar sentiment.
The day began at the gorgeous Fairmont Hotel Vancouver with tea, pastries, mimosas and all sorts of lovely. Christina and her team from Red Carpet Ready were on hand to make the girls look extra glam, while Randy and Sumeuy’s French Bulldog Stella ran around in her tutu (made by the bride herself!) and headband enjoying the festivities as well. It was here at the hotel where Randy and Sumeuy shared a very sweet first look, and then we had the afternoon for photos around Gastown and Jericho Beach, before arriving at The Brock House the day’s main event.
Randy and Sumeuy, I can’t thank you enough. Wishing you all the best as you celebrate becoming husband and wife on your European honeymoon!
Sumeuy said yes to this stunning dress at Kleinfeld’s while in NYC last Spring

Manolo Blahnik’s and pretty peony blooms….be still my heart
Handmade boutonnieres by one of the bridesmaids…Sumeuy later thanked her girls for helping make all of her “Pinterest dreams come true” ;)
This is why I love first looks…
Just like at their engagement session, these two were just perfect in front of the camera…
