We met with Travis and Janna over a year ago at their home which was full of large paintings and photographs. We learned that they were both creatives and Travis, being a  graduate from the Western Academy of Photography (one of Canada’s foremost schools of photography), we felt honoured that they chose us as their wedding photographers. We are so pleased to hear that contemporaries in our field truly value our work. For their wedding, it was really important for them to put a mark on their wedding, so they created a consistent brand for their wedding right from the beginning, starting with a wedding logo, amazing printed pieces of artwork and it all even tied in with the decor on the cake. vancouver wedding dress

Janna and her Dad riding together in a vintage car to the church. Janna had decided to get married at the same church her parents had over 3o years ago, so it was a pretty special ride for him to drive the same route now with his daughter.

While Janna had the vintage 50’s car for her wedding transportation, Travis and Co. had urban-cool wedding transport; the SkyTrain.

Their wedding coat of arms designed by Travis. It’s a Danish tradition to give a special wedding cake to their guests (that’s what was inside those boxes). How cute are these buttons! We wore ours proudly all day. The ‘peas+ carrots’ button was a hit, but we liked the ‘Scrabble’ button too. And ‘I Heart J+T’!  Super fun!

First dance! This was especially important as Janna had badly broken her leg and torn all her ligaments in her foot in January and was unable to walk for most of the year. She was one very determined women to walk down the aisle this summer, so she worked really hard at rehabilitating her leg and against many odds, she achieved it! This was their first dance together as husband + wife, but also with her now rehabilitated leg. Go girl!!

A beautiful day! steff + justin
