Vancouver Backyard Wedding {Trevor & Amanda}

We don’t get to shoot many backyard weddings but what a fun time we had at Trevor and Amanda’s! The house was absolutely beautiful and the setup in the garden was second to none with a gorgeous alter and huge tent for the reception.

We started the day with some getting ready shots around the house before a first look moment outside for the bride and groom. Then, it was on to the ceremony which was really fabulous! It was very very easy to forget we were in a backyard! The family had made it nicer than some of the other wedding venues we go to!

Stanley Park Pavilion Wedding {Gil & Rozeela}

Gil & Rozeela tied the knot last summer at Vancouver’s Stanley Park Pavilion. We’d shot there before and like the previous times the ceremony took place on the lawn outside. This was the first time we’d seen the alter positioned on the steps though and I have to say it was a much better setup in my mind!

The day began at the Westin Bayshore hotel in downtown Vancouver. The couple each had their own rooms and got ready there with the various members of the bridal party. It’s a really nice hotel if you haven’t been there before and well worth considering if you’re looking for a place to get ready on your wedding day!

Monk McQueen’s Restaurant Wedding {Keith & Erin}

Personally, I hadn’t been to Monk McQueens before, as a patron or photographer. I think Elora might have been once but it was a while ago so really this was a new venue for both of us. It really is the perfect setting, right on the water with a Vancouver skyline opposite. The fact that it was a red hot sunny day only added to the allure of this place.

The ceremony was out on the deck in the full sun. I think everybody struggled a little bit with the heat and brightness but it must have been even harder for Keith and Erin who had the pressure of a wedding ceremony on top of that. If the pressure got to them at all, it didn’t show. The ceremony was lovely and the couple did an awesome job! I have to say though, I think everyone was excited to get indoors at the end of it!

Cedar View Estates Wedding {Xavier & Maria}

We’d never been to Cedar View Estates in Pemberton before but I sure hope we’ll be going back! What a phenomenal place it was! A beautiful log cabin style house surrounded by farmland was the backdrop for a gorgeous wedding ceremony and reception.
