Wedding Blog

In addition to writing about venue options in Vancouver, I’m also going to write about potential photography spots for engagement photos and trash the dress shoots.

Here is a quintessentially “Vancouver” sight of the mermaid statue (”girl in wetsuit” to be more correct) with the sulfur piles in the background. There’s even a little rock for me to pose just like said girl in wetsuit.

I have this secret love for mimicking things around me - see my beau in this photo taken somewhere on the ocean between Kauai and Oahu last summer.

The concept of the sulfur piles is rather exciting to me, but unfortunately, amidst all the photos that I could find on flickr, only one of them wasn’t taken across the water from Stanley Park. And so it leads me to believe that it’s very off limits. Or even if it wasn’t, I’d have to don a hard hat.

These north shore sulfur piles reminded me of the trainyards that I adore there.

My father used to fish for salmon in Capilano when I was young and before the non-commercial/non-sport fisherman overfished the area (that is a politically charged statement, but it’s my opinion). We usually came home via the second narrows instead of the Lions Gate bridge and passed by these trainyards. I returned to these trainyards in college, hoping to have fun running through them at night time, but there were no tresspassing signs everywhere and even a night guard!

Too bad because this would have been a great place for a shoot!
