Alphonse & Danica had given me a long list of formals with family and bridal party. The wedding got off to a late start, and they wanted to get things back on schedule, so they completely threw out the list, taking off to Esther Short Park with their bridal party.
It was my first trip to this park, and it’s incredible. Though I live in the western suburbs of Portland, I’ll definitely recommend Esther Short to my clients for engagement sessions and portraits. It is in an urban part of Vancouver. The park itself has lots of big shade trees, a gazebo, another large structure, play areas, and plenty of open lawn.
I try to keep formals casual and fun. We took the truly formal formals (straight line, look at the camera… sort of thing) and then squeezed in some relaxed ones.
