    The past three weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind of travel for us here at Cloud Nine as our team has been flying all over North America filming events and weddings.  We started on Sept 21st filming editorials for the upcoming issue of our magazine WedLuxe before flying back to Lake Louise to film a stunning wedding in the mountains.  If you’ve never been to Lake Louise, I would definitely recommend putting it on your bucket list  Then it was back to Toronto for more WedLuxe shoots before flying down to Florida to film the Engage ’10 conference at The Breakers hotel in Palm Beach.

    Yesterday was a great day. Not because I got to visit Canada for the first time in my life, not because JD and I found this amazing Japanese restaurant where they spoke verrry little English, and not because I convinced JD to buy me a jacket from Lululemon because I left mine at home. Actually, those moments made the day special, but what made the day great was the chance to meet an amazing group of photographers in Vancouver. I spoke at ImageQuest Conference at the River Rock Hotel and being surrounded by such an amazing group of photographers rocked my world. I was incredibly welcomed an...

  • I’ve been craving me some vintage Canadian wedding action as of late. So this indie Vancouver wedding photographed by Rebecca Sehn has me pumped. First of all I fell in love with Kristina and Josh when I featured their indie engagement shoot on this lovely wedding blog. It was a favorite for sure. And now their cute-as-pie wedding does not disappoint. Gorgeous scenery. Gorgeous photography. Gorgeous bride. And some gorgeous post-I-do dancing. So awesome. They rule. Photography by Rebecca Sehn...

  • Meet Jule and Jae. A Vancouver couple with SUPER DIY style.  Lyndsay London Photography shot their engagement photos last month and I’m just in love with their love.  So sweet.  Here’s Lyndsay, their photographer, with some tidbits from the wedding: Julie & Jae put together the details for this summertime-vintage engagement session.  Many of the props/items were handmade and DIY, including Julie’s hair accessory, the picnic blanket, the flag banner, and even the wildflower white “snowball” bouquet that we picked from nearby wild trees minutes before the session. The se...

  • I’m quite smitten with the Vancouver weddings we’ve been receiving as of late. Love you west coasters! I’m particularly partial (and jealous) of the outdoor wedding venues I’ve been seeing.  Rustic weddings are all the rage in British Columbia.  And today’s Vancouver Island wedding is showing off a doozy of a Vancouver wedding reception venue, Strathcona Park Lodge .   SO pretty.  And of course the prettiness comes care of the artistic lenses of wedding photographers Tracie Howe and Natasha Ali.  Pat and Renee’s wedding is gorgeously DIY and raw in natural beauty.  Thank you...

  • Cowichan Bay. Cool name, right? And this Vancouver Island locale is as gorgeous as it is cool.  We’re treated today with an absolutely stunning barn wedding shot by the sweet and ever so talented, Jamie Delaine.  Jamie has been blessed with a plethora of amazing brides and super cool rustic weddings.  And this is definitely one of them.  Erika and Malcolm’s wedding took place at a family-owned farm….the very same farm where they first met!  Pretty cool, eh!  I have so so so many wedding photos to share with you all so please come back for part two later today.  but for now, soak u...

    Pre-wedding activities are not complete without a stagette event with your besties. And since Vancouver is a world-class city with many natural and cultural delights to enjoy, why not treat yourselves right here in your own backyard? Or, if you have friends or guests coming from out-of-town for the big day, any of these destinations and activities are sure to please and impress. In December, our Managing Editor Angie Ishak, her gal pal Corrie, and several out-of-town women in media enjoyed three days of girl-getaway fun in and around our “City of Glass”. First stop, the Sutton Place Hotel....

    Let's switch the conversation over to RAINGEAR, yes? Yes. Hi ESB,  When I got engaged last year and became suddenly interested in the wedding industry, I found your blog and have been reading it regularly every morning since. I neeeeed my morning snark. Anyways, no real wedding drama to report, just wanted to ask you for some wardrobe advice. I am getting married on October 1st, and guess where we are going for the honeymoon afterwards: VAN-FREAKING-COUVER! Since we will be in the area, and you happened to post about it, the hubs and I are going to come to your film screening on O...
