Semiha and Tarek Sneak Peek
Semiha and Tarek were married in September in a lovely, intimate Muslim ceremony – with Semiha wearing traditional Serbian clothing to reflect her heritage. She then changed into a traditional”Western” bridal gown and away we went on location snapping pics around Vancouver!
The result? A gorgeous ceremony and day with a gorgeous couple. Check out the detail on Semiha’s traditional wedding outfit! Envy!

New Year’s Eve Sneak Peek
Happy New Year! Happy newlyweds!!
We were delighted to be the photographers for Rachel and Tyler’s New Year’s Eve wedding at the awesome Fraser River Lodge in Agassiz. Wow. Surrounded by mountains, bison(!), quiet, and crisp cold air – it was a stunner of a day and a stunner of a wedding. Check it out!

New Year, New Location!
Happy New Year!! Happy new digs!!
As we move happily into 2012, we here at bhp are all a-flurry of excitement! Not only was the big man in the red suit just here but we have moved into new digs! Business is booming so we’ve said goodbye to our tiny-but-cute studio in South Granville and bought a house!
We’ve set up in beautiful Port Moody! We fell in love with the area when we were here shooting Ashley and Sheldon’s wedding in the summer and we have already told them that we blame them for making us buy a house here! 
Seriously though, the gorgeous views, the water and beaches, and still we’re close to everything in the big city!
We’re delighted to announce therefore that we have a new place to see clients in the Tri-Cities – Port Moody, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam – and well as outlying cities!
We’re still always in Vancouver (and around the general GVRD), too, so don’t fret. We just have more flexibility than ever as to where we can meet our clients!
So, choose a snazzy Gastown office, a cosy Port Moody locale, or anywhere in between – we’re here for you when and where you need us. (And you can still reach us by our same phone number: 778-918-8307). See you soon!
For now, have an awesome holiday season from bOB and Jen at bOB HOmer photography!

Rita and Jack at the Dockside Lounge
After having shot a wedding at the Dockside restaurant, we were excited to document Rita and Jack’s November wedding at the Dockside lounge! We ourselves had an intimate wedding so we were interested to see how an intimate wedding at the lounge would be designed and celebrated. Rita and Jack are a cool couple so we knew this would be a cool wedding. Be sure to watch the slideshow to see more of the inside ceremony. And yes, it was November, and Rita was über brave – no coat! Check it out!

Sneak Peek of Gorgeous Gambier Island Wedding of Ursula and Rob
We jumped at the invitation to photograph Ursula and Rob’s wedding on Gambier Island. We were introduced to the couple through Jenna of Revel Events, who magically orchestrated a stellar wedding on the remote island 45 minutes from Vancouver. We will have many more gorgeous pictures to come (including a shot of the suckling pig from Savoury City!) but wanted to throw out a sneak peek for the time being. Thanks for having us, Ursula and Rob!
LOVED the John Deere with the Just Married – we have a story to tell you about that later…
Love this shot of Rob’s parents watching the ceremony.

Celebration on Water
On May 12, we went on a little excursion with our friend and event planner, Jenna (of Revel Events), to check out the new wedding and event venue, Celebration on Water. It’s essentially a large historic ferry boat, docked in North Vancouver, entirely redone and updated to be a gorgeous and unique venue for special events.
The Starboard Aft Lounge has room to shake your bootie over to the bar for a drink in between dances and the Forward Lounge (Star Trek TNG, anyone?) has room for a delightful dinner, all after the ceremony out on the deck with gorgeous 360 views of the North Shore mountains, downtown Vancouver, and Stanley Park! You cannot beat this view!!
The team there has thought of everything - There’s even suede on the ceilings! We were particularly impressed with the Bride’s room for getting ready – a chaise lounge completes it. There’s also a honeymoon room for a newly married couple to stay on the boat overnight after their wedding!
We have just a few pictures to show you for now. The real showcase will come after we have the honour of being the first to shoot a wedding there on May 28th! Stay tuned.
Our Awesome Photography Community
You know we’re engaged; we’ve blogged our Save the Date video.
I’ve been planning to write about our wedding planning – dress shopping adventures, funny stories, etc. – for some time now. This is not how I planned to begin blogging about our wedding but I wanted to share my gratitude for some of our fellow photographers in the Lower Mainland.
You might be surprised to learn that the photography community in and around Vancouver is pretty supportive. Already booked photographers who get inquiries for a particular date from engaged couples will refer happy couples to other local photogs. A large group of us meet up every other week for coffee and chatting (if we aren’t shooting!). We share information. We’re sometimes invited to each other’s parties. We goof around a bit on Twitter. It’s nice.
What does this have to do with blogging our wedding, you ask? Well, the other day, I received some very disappointing news that a very special family member will not be able to attend our August wedding. I was heartbroken. Already being on Twitter to check messages, I put up a quick tweet about my disappointment. The response was heartwarming and beyond that which I’d imagined. I was sent virtual hugs, brilliant positive images, and reasons to laugh. I felt supported and comforted by people whom industry outsiders would consider to be our competition. The kind responses of these kind folks helped me get through a difficult day.
And so, to you, Nick of The Other Angle Photography, Sarah of Silver Lamb Studios, Vicki of Ela Blue Photography, Karen of Amber Light Photography, Michelle of Studio 32 Photography, and Anna of Anna Beaudry Photographic Design (for an unrelated matter of support!), I say, “Thanks for lending me a hand.”
Thanks for giving me a hand

Realty Head Shot
Need a new head shot? We work with a lot of realtors who are updating their websites, business cards, and marketing materials. Here’s just one image we recently took for an up and coming realtor.
Corporate Branding Head Shots
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet the dapper and devilishly charming Jeff Devlin.
We were contacted to do a headshot session for Jeff for his corporate branding. Jeff is a Certified Financial Planner, Investment Representative, for Freedom 55. He’s going through some rebranding at work and wanted his portrait updated. We knew it would be a cool gig but we had no idea Jeff would be so darn charming and funny! We laughed so much; imagine our delight when we subsequently booked a couple’s lifestyle session for Jeff and his lovely girlfriend Julia (pics to come)!
