Lorraine & Illya are an incredibly stylish and soulful couple. It’s been so fun getting to know them over the past year!
We’ve been inspired by their high level of respect for each other, killer sense of humour and detailed involvement in the planning of their big day- so personal and perfectly orchestrated by Sarah at Dreamgroup. The spectacular and intimate day had their ceremony (led by Lorraine’s brother-in-law) at Celebration Pavilion, and included a touching candle lighting to remember Illya’s Mother. Lorraine was stunning as always, and Illya could not have made a more chic suit choice- I always feel under-styled next to those two!
Goldfish in Yaletown was the ideal setting for their reception, with a custom wine selection, seafood stations and mouth-watering meals: top notch in all respects. As always, it’s their personal wedding album that tells the story best (please view the slideshow below, and enjoy their first dance song, “Sweet Lorraine” by Frank Sinatra: how appropriate!). L&I we love you guys, you know that- and we hope that the race went well!!! 🙂

Their ceremony was so touching. Meeting eyes, overwhelming emotion.
I love this gentle moment Chadwick captured crouching in the bushes.
Incredible party at Goldfish. Cake by Ganache- oh Gary, you never miss!
captured to perfection. LOVE.
Sorry, too ashamed to reveal my out-of-date website compared to your work which is just wonderful; both an inspiration and slightly despair inducing as I think ‘will I ever reach that level?’ I’m shooting more and more weddings & events but nowhere near pro standard yet.
Wonderful work.
