Also from The Fairytale Fantasy Issue, Perfect Wedding produces what every girl dreams of! This was the earliest call-time we have ever had- 1:30am, to capture the best light just after sunrise. Photographed by Leanne Pedersen at Lumberman’ s Arch in Vancouver’ s beautiful Stanley Park, this photo session came with added excitement.
Leanne’ s then soon to be husband worked in the movie business. He suggested smoke machines were needed to give the best effect for a mystical foggy look. We agreed. For a good 45 minutes he walked back and forth in the scene, using the smoke machine to fill the air with an eerie beauty. Little did we know this area was viewable from a traffic webcam mounted on or near the Lion’ s Gate Bridge. Just as we start shooting, three fire trucks with sirens blazing come to an abrupt halt in front of our set. The firemen, some laughing to themselves and shaking their heads, climbed down off their trucks to tell us someone had spotted the smoke via the webcam and thought the Vancouver Aquarium was on fire!
The horses and carriage are available through Stanley Park Horse Drawn Tours.
