Chris and Gina are very talented, with an impeccable eye for composition, colours and detail. 1. Boudoir Shoot I did this with Gina a few years ago in the Port Moody studio, where there are several different sets/backdrops. She's professional but also very friendly, and quickly put me at ease because... let's be real...boudoir shoots could feel goofy. Gina taught me how to pose so that I wasn't all awkward. The photos turned out amazing - classy and beautiful. I pull them out whenever I need a little confidence boost =) 2. Wedding Photography/Photo Booth We were specifically looking for a photographer with a more modern versus soft/vintage style. We worked with Chris and I cannot say enough good things about him. We LOVE our photos - he captured the day/night perfectly. Our friends and family complimented us on how friendly and professional he was during the event. And when we looked at the proofs, I swear he can teleport. I'm not entirely sure how he was able to capture everything that he did... We chose not to do engagement photos, but took post-wedding pictures around town instead. We went to somewhat touristy/over-photographed places (my request - I wanted very "Vancouver" backdrops) but Chris managed to make our pictures look unique (I'm telling you - he has an amazing eye for composition). 3. Photo Booth We used their photo booth for a reception and it was a great addition to the event. The staff was friendly, their props are fun and they have a sparkly GOLD backdrop! 4. Baby Bump Photos I went back to Gina for my baby bump photos. Once again, we did the pictures in their Port Moody studio but this time I was sporting a giant belly. Again, she put me at ease and helped me pose. The photos turned out amazing! 5. Family Portraits We gifted a family portrait to my parents as a Christmas present. We just took the pictures a few days ago so I haven't seen proofs yet... but the experience was great. We pretty much just showed up and Gina did the rest - figuring out different group photo combinations, bribing my toddler to look at the camera, etc. They even have kid-sized backdrops/sets that are super cute. I'm excited to see the pictures.

Thank goodness for Chris and his assistant for the day, Alex, who captured the moments of our wedding day that my eyes could not. They were the best. Showing up ahead of time, quickly staging flowers and arranging our bridal party and family. Finding the right moment to pull us away to capture the best light of the day. Effortlessly moving through all of our guests at a photo booth receiving line- best idea ever, by the way! No, seriously, I can't think of one thing that I would want them to do differently, except for find a magical time machine that would let us do it all over again! From our engagement shoot the month after Peter popped the question where Gina and Chris helped us stage an outdoor living room at the waters edge, to staging and preserving every little detail of our wedding day, they captured our memories like the pros that they are. I could not be happier with our pictures. Chris and Gina, thank you. I know you can't see my tears of joy right now as I write this even all of these months later, but they are there and they are real. You made me the happiest bride. xo

What triggered me to write this review? Well after a posting of a recent Yelp gig, a friend remarked to me that I looked like - "Drakes producer" in one of the pics!!! LMAO!

They were professional, prompt, easy to work with, and most importantly, masters at capturing moments beautifully. What makes their photography stand out is the dynamic contrast between dark and light, and their creative use of the natural surroundings. It's so refreshing to see just how much love and passion they had for their jobs. Will was so "giddy" on our wedding day as it was for once a sunny day, with SNOW on the ground, in Vancouver. He looked like a kid in a candy store, commenting on just how happy he is with the day. You want to work with someone who is passionate about his job.

It rained cats and dogs during our engagement shoot, but with Will's skill and knowledge in the use of lighting and equipment, the photos turned out even better than what I had imagined for a sunny day! For our wedding, Will and Lauren captured so many great moments: both candid and dramatic shots. We viewed the photos with our wedding music while savouring some wine as per their suggestion, and I started crying tears of joy! The photos are that good!!! We feel very blessed to have had Will and Lauren as our photographers! Both of their professionalism and skill sets combined make them a super duo! Lauren's candid and natural shots are awesome, and her ability to stay organized and on top of the administrative aspects of the business are exceptional. Her email responses were so quick! Will's skilled manipulation of lighting, angles, and backdrops are unique, jaw dropping, and breathtakingly beautiful. Their chill and approachable attitude made us feel very comfortable, and because of this, they were able to bring out the best in the both of us to be captured in images that we'll cherish for a lifetime! We totally felt at ease knowing that Will and Lauren were there to photograph our special day! So many of our guests were shocked by how unique and beautiful the photos turned out!

He didn't do our engagement photos, but we met up to discuss our suggestions and ideas, and he also provided some input when we shared our concerns about lighting at the ceremony. He captured our moments beautifully, both at the ceremony and reception. We also spent a few hours taking photos with our wedding party at some specific outdoor locations, in which he and his partner followed in their own vehicle. The quality of his photos were great, and he was fun to work with. When we weren't sure how to stage ourselves for a photo, he'd offer some guidance. During our reception, he displayed a slideshow of the moments he captured througout the day, and I thought that was a nice touch. We spoke little to each other throughout the day because I was confident in his ability to photograph all that was going on. His style is appropriate at various times, where he is able to capture the mood during the more ceremonial moments and at dinner time when everyone was more relaxed. He provided us with all the photographs at the end, and a beautiful coffee book that I still look at to remind me of that day. Gives me butterflies every time I look at the photos. One photo that I think illustrates his talent and creativity is where he photographs my wedding shoes by hanging them off my parent's tree in their front yard. My very own shoe tree!. Ask him to show it to you :)

My fiance and I are extremely fortunate to have had worked with Emily Nicole. She helped me capture…read morethe surprise proposal I had imagined with her amazing talent. Emily is undoubtedly proficient and passionate about her work, which shows through her pictures! My fiance and I were on a week long trip beginning from Oregon to Washington and finished in Vancouver. Months leading up to our excursion, I was searching for a 'proposal' photographer in the area where we will spend the last couple of days of our trek. I had a specific look in mind, and after going through many photographers nothing matched my vision. At that point I came across Emily's page on here, I was somewhat hesitant from the number of reviews she had, however when i viewed her site, and social media page I was sold! I booked her immediately! Emily was extremely receptive to my questions and suggestions. She helped to ease my mind by sharing her experiences and going through different possibilities which made me feel more comfortable. Since she's a local to the area, she was able to handle everything I tossed at her. Even leading up to the 'huge day', she confirmed my final location and how she was going to set herself up in order to capture the right angles while staying incognito (she wore a black trench coat like Inspector Gadget and had like 3 cameras under it - it was amazing!). Capilano Bridge is a wonderful well-protected park only a couple of minutes North of Vancouver. This was the perfect place for a memorable proposal over their popular 140 meters suspension bridge. After the nerve-racking minute (She said, Yes! What's more, I didn't drop the ring!). She had the two of us model for her all through the park. She made us feel really comfortable by becoming acquainted with us as a team and suggesting the best ways to pose for the camera. Once Emily warmed up, you could tell that this wasn't her first rodeo (whatever that means); she would set up her shots by moving all through the bridges and platforms like a feline, while my Fiance and I remained there thinking about whether she would ever return. Haha, it was great! To sum everything up. We are more than grateful for the opportunity to work with Emily Nicole and couldn't have picked a better photographer to capture this special moment. She thinks about connecting with her customers and thus you feel good and engaged while on the photoshoot. The pictures you get a while later are proof of what an all-around amazing photographer she is! Because of her, we have some great photos that we'll be sharing with our loved ones! Much appreciated once more, Emily Nicole!

She went above and beyond to make our day special for us in so many ways.

She gave us such a diverse spread of photos to keep afterwards and the dramatic style of her photographs and editing is remarkable. Not to mention she is super kind and patient. 10/10, would 100% recommend!

The package we chose included the bouncy castle, face painting, balloon animals and parachute game and had 2 helpers. The kids loved it and were really happy. The adults had fun too, especially in the bouncy castle and had their face painted. The age range of the kids were toddlers but I believe they have packages for older kids too and I think they will go all over the lower mainland. We will definitely use Par-T-Perfect again.
