Movies to Inspire Wedding Themes || Vancouver Wedding Photographers
As most of you know I love reading blogs and I love this idea from Green Wedding Shoes. As much as I love reading blogs I love watching movies and UP was one of my favourites last year. Taking inspiration from the movies we like is a fantastic idea and like Jen said in the post “you don’t need (or want to be) too literal.”
I think you can find so many great ideas from films – so why not bring some of those fun ideas into your wedding?!
It is sweet and at parts sad, but has a really cute message. Quick synopsis – It’s about a couple that meet when they are children and both share a love of adventure and exploring. They later marry and promise to go visit Paradise Falls when they save enough money. Unfortunately, Ellie (the wife) dies and they don’t get to make the trip. Carl decides to try and make the trip himself by tying thousands of balloons to his house and floating away. And an adventure begins…

What movie would you use to inspire your wedding theme?
Wedding Paparazzi! || Vancouver Wedding Photographers
Okay when Jen and I shoot weddings we always make a joke and say, “we’re your personal paparazzi today!” When Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney from the TV Show The Bachelor recently said I do, these photos really don’t say intimate wedding ceremony!
From the random guy (who kind of looks like a scruffy Russell Crow) watching Molly walk down the isle, to the cameras, boom mike and people with press passes waiting for them after the ceremony. The photo that made me laugh was the man either holding up the tree or hiding behind it…I would love to know the story there! And of course I’m sure it’s in every one’s contract to go to these weddings Trista and Ryan (from the Bachelorette) and the host of both shows Chris Harrison chatting to…his agent maybe?!!
You can see some behind the scenes video at abc.com (yes even us Canadians can see it!)
I do love Molly’s dress but I think the orchid and calla lilly bouquet is a bit much. What are your thoughts?

Pinks to Inspire You || Vancouver Wedding Photographers
I’ve been noticing some great colours that brides have been choosing for their invitations this year. Azalea is one of the top colours this year and I wanted to feature a great inspiration board from snippet & ink. Laura is also loving Alice in Wonderland, with that in mind the blue in this board caught my eye as Alice’s dress!


A Supernatural Wedding
Supernatural star Jared Padalecki was married on February 27th in his new bride’s Genevieve Cortese’s hometown of Sun Valley, Idaho. The locally shot television show is currently in it’s fifth season and one of my favourites! According to the CW Jared’s best man was his real-life older brother Jeffrey and one of his groomsmen was his on-screen brother Jensen Ackles.
Genevieve played Ruby on the TV show, and without me explaining all of the back story, let’s just say she was a little demonic! But on her wedding day she looked absolutely stunning. {I would say angelic but after watching the angels they deal with on the show I’ll stick with stunning!}
The photos were taken by Clif Kosterman, Jared and Jensen’s bodyguard, who shared the photos with the Supernatural fans!
