Photographing Weddings in Vancouver

Author: Elizabeth Soergel

Mountains, beaches, lush greenery and great city skyline - what
else does a wedding photographer need to make great shots?
Vancouver is well known as one of Canada's most beautiful cities
and anyone working here as a wedding photographer knows it.

Working in Vancouver does make my job easier - but even the most
obvious locations - as beautiful as they are can become a bit
boring and well over used. Although it's not a bad thing to
include a mountain or ocean here and there - diversity is what
keeps it interesting.

It's our jobs as wedding photographers to always be creative and
to offer our clients something new and unique. It's what will
separate us from everyone else in Vancouver and keep the work
fresh and fun.

When deciding on a great location I look for vibrant colour,
unique architecture (a great way to subtly suggest your
location), interesting elements like reflective glass and unique
light sources, graphic lines (curved walls, interesting shadows)
and texture. An old rusty metal shed with paint pealing is ugly
to most but can be a photographer's dream.

Wedding photography has changed drastically in the last few
years and Vancouver's photographers have played a big part in
that. There is a lot of great talent here and a lot of great
photographers in which to take inspiration when creating amazing
wedding images.

You can never go wrong when you look to do something different.
It not only makes your daily job more interesting it makes
brides take notice of your work.
