Pao Yi and Kevin’s Vancouver Wedding – July 11, 2009

Kevin and Pao Yi had quite the epic wedding day! Somehow they managed to fit in a wedding ceremony at Shaughnessy Heights United Church, two tea ceremonies, two locations for their photo session, a multi-course dinner reception, and even a lion dance! Not to mention lots of speeches, games, table toasting, and dress changes for Pao Yi during the reception. There was a great theme of family throughout the day, evident in the many family members gathered at Kevin and Pao Yi’s parents’ homes to witness the tea ceremony, and in the 250+ guests in attendance at the reception – Kevin and Pao Yi even had their parents sitting with them at the head table, which I thought was a sweet way to honour them. Family members had also arranged a surprise lion dance for the couple, which started the reception at Kirin Richmond off with a bang! I love watching lion dances – there’s something about the fierce lion faces, bright colours, and the banging of the drums that is so intense! Earlier in the day we had spent some much quieter time with Kevin and Pao Yi at Van Dusen Gardens, followed by a quick trip to Spanish Banks. I’d also like to give a quick shout-out to the limo driver, Reid, for Star Limosine – he always knew exactly where we were going, was pleasant and courteous, and pretty much the best all-round limo driver I’ve ever encountered. In fact, we’ve had past experience with Star Limosine and they have always been great! Back to Kevin and Pao Yi – thanks for having us there to photograph your beautiful day! We had an awesome time with you, your bridal party, and family!
