Jennifer and Rob! Thanks to all our wonderful clients who participated in the 2009 Wedding Photo Contest! We had an amazing number of votes, and it was a pretty tight race between a few couples, particularly our three runner’s up: Eva and Miguel, Kristina and Chris, and Janet and Karsten. Although there wasn’t originally a “second prize”, I really enjoyed seeing comments and so much enthusiasm from our clients’ friends and family, so the three runner’s up will each receive an 8×12 custom print of their image! Jennifer and Rob will of course receive the big prize, a 12×18 Gallery Canvas print! Thanks to everyone who voted – looking forward to doing it again next year!

The winning image again (what a hot couple!):

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.

Favourite Vancouver Wedding Ceremony Venues – Chapel at Queen Elizabeth Park

Laura — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 04:31:53 +0000

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!

Small and large parties can be accompanied, either inside Hart House itself or just outside under a romantic tent.
