Favourite Vancouver Wedding Ceremony Venues – Hycroft Manor

Hycroft Manor – A truly stately, elegant Edwardian mansion, right in the heart of Vancouver!  Hycroft is famous for it’s massive pillars, which adorn both the front and back of the venue.  Inside, the highly detailed and ornate decor tells you that you have entered a classy and refined place.  Ceremonies are held on the back patio overlooking the mountains and downtown Vancouver.  If you’d like to continue your day at Hycroft, receptions can be held in one of several grand rooms inside.

Favourite Vancouver Wedding Ceremony Venues – Hart House

Hart House - Located in Burnaby on Deer Lake, Hart House comes with it’s own private lawn, forest, and lake view.  Ceremonies take place on the lawn with the beautiful lake and trees in the background, making for the ultimate romantic ceremony setting.  Hart House also allows your pet to be part of the ceremony, a bonus of having your wedding outdoors.  If you’d like to have your whole day take place around this gorgeous heritage house, no problem – Hart House hosts wedding receptions too.

Favourite Vancouver Wedding Ceremony Venues – Cecil Green

Cecil Green Park House – A beautiful tudor style heritage house set in the UBC Endowment lands, Cecil Green is an elegant spot for a wedding.  The impressive house backs on to a large, gorgeously landscaped area which blends into the forest beyond.  As an outdoor ceremony venue it can accommodate both very large weddings and small intimate ones.  And the huge stone staircase down to the lawn makes for a grand entrance for the bride!

Favourite Vancouver Wedding Ceremony Venues – Brock House

Brock House – Imagine getting married with a backdrop of the ocean, mountains, and beach – the perfect setting!  Brock House offers just that, with ceremonies taking place on their expansive lawn just above Jericho Beach.  With such a wide open space, the decorating possibilities are limitless.  A bonus with this venue is that it can also play host to your reception, so the only traveling your guests need to do is to and from the buffet table and bar!

Favourite Vancouver Wedding Ceremony Venues – Chapel at Queen Elizabeth Park

Chapel at Queen Elizabeth Park – Formerly known as the Celebration Pavilion, the Chapel at Queen Elizabeth Park is a relatively new addition to the list of Vancouver ceremony venues.  Built just a few years ago, the venue is quite different in that it has both an indoor and outdoor feeling.  The entire building is made of partially opaque patterned glass, with huge back doors that swing out to reveal the forest and flowers.  The altar and ceiling are made of wood planks, adding to the natural yet modern feel.  Best of all, photo opportunities abound in the nearby park and gardens!

Hambleton Family Portrait Session – Vancouver Family Photographer

I had the honour of photographing the Hambleton’s for the first time two years ago, when little Mackenzie was just 7 months old.  Well, she’s a big girl now and I had a great time photographing her and mom and dad all over Steveston Village. Fortunately we had a gorgeous fall day, and as always the Hambleton’s were fabulously dressed for their session – add some smiles and voila!  Family portrait magic!  I love love LOVE repeat clients, as it is truly the greatest reward to have a client come back to you over and over again for their personal photographic art.  I am so happy to photograph this beautiful family, and I look forward to creating more portraits of them for years to come!

Reina’s Maternity Session – Vancouver Maternity Photographer

Reina is expecting her second child very soon, and wanted to record her pregnancy with some professional maternity photos.  Of course I was happy to oblige, and even happier to meet Reina and her family, who were an absolute delight!  Little sister Kaya is pretty excited about her new brother, but also seemed equally interested in my camera – when not actually the subject of my photos, she watched my every click! I am now quite convinced she will grow up to be a superb professional photographer!  Reina has also booked a baby session for the new addition, and I can’t wait to see the family again with their beautiful baby boy!
