State of the Union: Delirious – We Won at the BC Wedding Awards!!!

Ohwowowowowow!!! We are delirious – last night we won Best Portrait of the Bride & Groom Together with the picture above at the BC Wedding Awards!!! WAHOO!!!! We still can’t believe it. There are so many incredibly talented photographers in BC and we are so humbled that we won. The other finalists were the amazing Sakura Photography & Jonestu Photography, two photography couples whose work we really & truly admire. What an incredible group for us to be in!

One thing that we will never forget is how excited our wonderful peers & colleagues were & are for us. We are so so lucky to work in such a supportive and kind industry. Thank you so much to everyone for all of your congratulations and love.

We had a hard time falling asleep last night when we got home from the really fun party. To be honest, we’re still pinching each other, making sure that we’re not dreaming. When I woke up this morning and realized that yes we really did win last night, I cried big fat tears of joy. It is a wonderful feeling to have our work recognized.

Many many thanks to the BC Wedding Awards for an unforgettable evening. Most of all, thank you to the delightful Rosemary & Andrew for hiring us to be your photographers and for being such fun clients. We wouldn’t have this award without the two of you!

Below are some photos we took of the evening with our little ol’ point and shoot.

14 of us from the wedding industry all took a limo together out to the awards at the Red Robinson Theatre. We were all giddy about getting to ride in a limo and not have to work!

A self portrait before we won.This photo cracks me right up! Roger brought our camera on stage with us when we accepted our award & he tried to snag a self portrait of us with the M.C., Fred Lee. We had the camera on manual setting and in our frantic rush to the stage Roger didn’t change the settings on the camera for the lights of the stage. Even though the photo isn’t all that great, it really makes me laugh.Hurray!!! Here we are with our award!
