Wedding photo and video studio on Horseshoe Way covering pre-wedding shoots, full wedding days, same-day edits and highlight films. It also books maternity and family sessions and produces albums and canvas prints.
Same-day edits are standard here, and they surprise people who have not been to a local wedding. A video team shoots the morning and the ceremony, cuts it over the afternoon, and it plays at the banquet that night. Pre-wedding shoots are the other convention. They happen weeks or months ahead of the day, often in a different outfit and a different location entirely. SoWedding covers the full run of that calendar, from pre-wedding sessions through the wedding day, same-day edits and highlight films.
It also books maternity and family sessions and produces albums and canvas prints, which is worth noting because the print side is where a lot of couples get caught out. Decide before you sign what you are actually buying: the files, an album, or both. A gallery of digital images that never gets printed is a common regret.
Ask to see one complete wedding start to finish rather than a highlights reel, and ask who is actually shooting your day, since studios in this category often work with a roster of photographers. Local shoots tend toward Steveston, Garry Point and Minoru Park, so say early if you want somewhere else. The studio is on Horseshoe Way in Ironwood, in the light-industrial pocket where a lot of Richmond's production businesses sit, because those units give you ceiling height and room for lighting that a retail frontage never will. You go there for a consultation and a portfolio review rather than a walk-in.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside them.
The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.

The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
