What’s not to love about these rustic and romantic Vancouver engagement photos captured by film photographer Sherri Koop? Couple Laurell and Trevor look so very smitten with each other and right at home among the majestic trees and natural beauty of Lighthouse Park on Vancouver’s North Shore. Even the guitar fit right in as the perfect accessory for the photos because of its meaning to the couple. Sherri says, “Laurell is a professional musician, and I loved that during part of the session she sang and played to Trevor. They got lost in the moment….it was beautiful.”
The Wedding: 8.14.10 – Church San Gian – St. Moritz, Switzerland
What three adjectives that best describe your wedding?Loving, happy, amazing
What inspired your personal wedding style, and how did you incorporate your style and personalities into your big day?Our love for the outdoors and mountains really inspired us in the style and location we chose. We loved using earthy colors for our invitation sets, welcome notes and even had welcome macaroon boxes from Spruengli and customized Havaianas sandals! We paid a lot of attention to detail and wanted to make everyone feel like they were the most important guest there!
Looking back, what are the moments, decisions or memories that you love the most about your wedding?I think the best decision we made was to have the wedding in St. Moritz – this was the best location for us to incorporate our love for amazing food, champagne and wine! St. Moritz has the most breathtaking surroundings with its mountains and lakes and fit perfectly with what we wanted and let us really experience a once in a lifetime celebration.
And as a fun bonus, we also have photo from their very Bavarian rehearsal dinner at Suvretta House! Love all that red and white gingham, and the way they shared the region’s traditions with their wedding guests.
Thanks for sharing Barbara and Tim! We love every bit of your wedding!

Bonnie and Bryan’s South Africa wedding, photographed by the talented Yvette Gilbert is the perfect combination of modern style and the spectacularly lush natural surroundings that always make me want to go visit the Cape Town region. Like right now. Take a look at these beautiful photos and wedding story, and see if you don’t want to join me!
The Design: A white wedding color palette with touches of black created a clean and modern look to the day that also allowed the beauty of the vineyards and the art and architecture of the venue to shine through. Wedding invitations were inspired by the look of orchids and designed by the couple’s friend and owner of the amazing design firm Soil Design. Incredible food played a central role in the wedding reception, and at the end of the meal everyone got to share in a dramatic tower of black and white cupcakes with a white cake for cutting perched on top.
The Look: Bonnie wore a wedding dress by Robyn Roberts, a white flower in her hair, and carried a branch or white orchids as her wedding bouquet. Her bridal look was perfectly modern because it highlighted her own natural beauty. It was “very classic and natural, with a touch of vintage – its who I am” Her bridesmaids wore little black dresses and Bryan and his groomsmen looked sleek in black suits with white shirts and modern black ties.
The Moments: Bonnie and Bryan were married outside beneath a huge old oak tree, and Bonnie vividly remembers “when I walked down the aisle and saw my husband looking at me” and then of course their first kiss as a married couple. So sweet! After the ceremony, the couple spent time taking photos with Yvette Gilbert, and they loved spending that special time together “it was very real and the happiness was radiating from both of us.”
Thank you for sharing your wedding with us Bonnie and Bryan! What a beautiful wedding day – see what I mean about the magic of the vineyards of South Africa?
