Vancouver Boudoir, Portrait and Wedding Photographer | Jen Williams » Travel

Leah Stafford | Mexico

Jen — Sat, 01 May 2010 20:08:42 +0000

Leah and I ‘met’ each other about 2 years ago through an online message board about Destination Weddings, because we both had one. Leah has been a mentor to me through this last year and a half while I stumble and soar through photography. She has also become one of my best friends. I’m kinda weird and she gets my sense of humor. Every time we get together we get the giggles…we’ve been threatened by flight attendants at 6am, received countless evil glares and we ALWAYS have great stories to tell after our adventures. I’ve had the pleasure of assisting Leah at 2 destination weddings – the Bahamas last year and Cancun this week. I’ve also been able to witness her boudoir magic in New York City. She’s an amazing photographer and a dear friend.

Of course, when we get together we like to play cameras. This time we actually got ourselves dressed up and shot portraits of each other. You can check out the photos she shot of me on her blog.

Photographing my friend was a lot of fun. I also was able to try some new processing techniques to really bring out the feeling in each image. Some of the images are a bit different from my normal style but I really like the artistic direction I have taken with them. Please let me know what you think in the comments below.

Ok enough talking, PHOTOS!!

Love this smile.

We always meet new friends too…meet Daniel, he teaches ‘joga’ on the beach. He wanted to hang out with us…so cute.

Susan | Portraits

Susan and I know each other through a photography message board. She’s an awesome photog and a really cool friend We met up when I was in Seattle last week and had lunch and wandered along the shoreline just chatting and laughing. Her little doll of a child Julie came along too. She is the spitting image of Susan and her hubby. SO CUTE!

She is so in love with her baby.

I just like this shot because of Julie’s face…I can’t remember but I think she may have been about to have a meltdown.

I just love her little face, she is so cute!!

James + Marta {Jasper Engagement Photographer}

Jen — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:19:15 +0000

Yesterday Chad and I drove down to the mountains – Jasper, AB to shoot James + Marta’s engagement session. It has been a while since I visited the mountains and I forgot how beautiful they are. Here are some teasers from their session:

I loved this spot, the dock and the scenery were so peaceful. Beautiful colors.

Chad captured these two, I love the connection in them.

Note to self: next time we go camping, lay on the spongy green moss…quite comfy!

Chad and I both think James looks like Robert DeNiro in this picture. Handsome dude!

Isn’t Marta gorgeous? She is going to be a beautiful bride.

Chad caught this one of me making them dance…pretty sure Marta thought I was crazy.

It was worth it though!

And lastly, check out that RING! James – good boy.

Thanks guys for inviting us out to play in Jasper yesterday, we had an amazing time.

To book your engagement session, email us!

Mission Hill Estate | Wine Tour

Jen — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:10:50 +0000

While in Kelowna to shoot a wedding (teasers coming soon!) my husband and I took some time to drive down to the Mission Hill Estate winery for a tour. The property is amazing, the wine is delicious and I didn’t want to leave!

Those grapes were delish!

Can you believe this view?

Me and Chad just hangin out & drinkin wine

Love this shot…the building is a restaurant on the property.

The wine cellar…it was so nice and cool down there.

This is the room they rent out for special events. I want to shoot a wedding here… *hint hint*

Thanks for looking!

Miami Architecture

Jen — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 08:25:01 +0000

I took a trip to South Beach back in July (right after NYC) and took some photos of all the art deco stuff. South Beach is so colorful – in both architecture and residents – and it’s so culturally different than the community I currently live in. I have always loved my visits to Miami and was so happy to be able to capture some of the details on my last trip.

New York City

Jen — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 22:16:37 +0000

Just spent the weekend in NYC! What an amazing city. Wish I had more time to spend there, but hopefully me and my hubby will be able to go back soon. The energy and history in that city amazes me. I’m spending the next 5 days in Miami so watch for some art deco and tropical images next week!

Back in May I had the pleasure of working with Leah Stafford at Cindy and Bob’s wedding at the Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort. It was simple, elegant and a lot of fun. Cindy and Bob are totally in love and I LOOOVE that! Their family was a hoot too! Thanks to everyone for a great couple of days.

Tropical Treats | Bahamas Nature Photography

Jen — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 08:06:53 +0000

I know I’ve been posting nothing but nature and scenery shots lately so I promise this one is the last one for a while as I have a TON of portraits to post for your viewing pleasure.

I was in the Bahamas shooting a wedding back in May and because I’m a geek and love to take pictures of flowers and nature, I snapped a lot of shots. If you are interested in having any of my images made into prints to put in your home, just shoot me an email! I’m offering a special promotion on my nature images – $25 for an 8×12 (regularly $40)! That’s a STEAL! If you live in the Edmonton area, I will hand deliver it to you as well. If you’re out of town, I’ll ship it to you at no extra charge, cuz I’m nice like that

While visiting my grandma, I took a walk and discovered some amazing things.

The City | Vancouver Urban Photography

Jen — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 07:06:24 +0000

I spent 2 hours shooting around the downtown east side of Vancouver today, these images are a bit more moody and edgy than what I usually post; I was just in the mood for something different. This post is pic-heavy…please feel free to comment!
