United Colours of Weddings

Some weddings just have so much colour, whether it’s the dresses or flowers or locations or both. It is so much fun to photograph an event that is full of colour. Colour is a matter of preference, that’s why I find most people are drawn to black and white photos or at least easily appreciate them. It is the lack of colour that draws us to the subject itself and then to textures and light and shadows. Other times we enjoy the explosion of colour.

Here is a wedding that did not lack colour in any way.

The location was just outside of Langley, BC. Yes, not Victoria, I do get out of the Island now and then. It is a fun change of scenery and you do tend to be more alert since you have to come up with something on the spot in an unfamiliar location, it is like playing music, like improvising in a sense.  I find the results always surprise me with a fresh angle.

If you are looking for ideas for your wedding locations, you don’t have to pick exactly the ones everybody goes to, make it personal, reflecting your interests, your personalities. It is more fun for both of us that way.
