Adrian & Dino’s Wedding in Vancouver BC, Canada
Filed Under 15 Minutes of Fame, Canada, Destination Weddings | 3 Comments
When we put the call out for beautiful, colorful wedding shoes, we had NO idea how many incredible shoes would end up in our inbox. Even more amazing? Entire weddings planned around the colors found in the shoes! Just fabulous!
Amber Hughes, a wedding photographer in Vancouver, Canada sent in photos from Adrian & Dino’s Wedding, and we just couldn’t stop raving over them! How incredible are those blue Manolo Blahniks?
But even more stunning is seeing that blue repeated throughout all the details of their wedding day!
Adrian’s dress was custom made for her by Jill McKinnon, a dress maker of 25+ years, who lives on Westham Island in East Ladner. Adrian had fallen in love with a high end designer dress that was out of her budget, so she worked with Jill to create something similar but with her own unique twist. Having an experienced dress maker create your dress allows for the little details that make a dress special to be incorporated – her dress even included pockets, perfect for tissues!
All the bridesmaid dresses were custom made to each girl’s taste. What the couple did is purchase a huge bolt of fabric in the material they wanted and then sent each girl on their way to have a custom cocktail length dress made. The girls are from all over, so Adrian didn’t even see all of the dresses until the day before the wedding. I love how each dress so beautifully represents each girl, yet they all compliment each other so well!
They both got ready at their parent’s homes before the wedding.
The flowers were done by Michelle at Petals and Papery. She also handled the decor and wedding planning.
Their wedding ceremony was held at St. Augustine’s Catholic Church, Vancouver BC, and their reception was held at The Law Courts Inn, Vancouver BC.
Their wedding cake was made by Jill from The Uncommon Cake. Jill even made the cake dairy free for Adrian & Dino!
At the end of the night, Adrian and Dino did an amazing surprise salsa dance for their first trip around the dance floor as man and wife! Their DJ was John Mazzei. His father, Vick Mazzei, is a well known DJ in the local Italian community. When Vick was busy that night, John stepped in to help them out.
Be sure to check out Amber’s blog post about their wedding to see even more of the beautiful details from their day!

Tas & Diraj’s Wedding Celebration – Vancouver, British Columbia Canada
Filed Under Canada, Destination Weddings | 8 Comments
Kristel Wyman’s work always blows me away, but I have to admit that when I saw her photos from Tas & Diraj’s wedding, I was left gasping. They are truly, in every sense of the word, breathtaking. This post is very heavy with images, but can you really blame me? One of my all time favorite photographs is down at the very end.
Their wedding was a three day Indian wedding event in Vancouver, British Columbia. It started with a Mendhi Ceremony on the first day.
On the day of their wedding ceremony at the Mosque, Tas & Diraj made a point of having a lot of time set aside for portraits. Having a lot of creative, more editorial photographs was very important to them, and so they spent a lot of time planning with Kristel. Communicating what you want to your photographer is *so* essential! They will have great tips and advice to help you make the most of the day.
The third day of the wedding celebration was the reception, and these were the first photos I saw that left me blown away when I first saw them. *swoon!* Isn’t Tas’s Melissa Sweet dress incredible?
I love them all, but if I had to pick a favorite one, I think the one below would be it. This is Ali Milner performing at their reception at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Kristel’s vision of the world is just so incredible!
