This beautifully rainy, modern and stunning fall wedding at the Loft at Earls Yaletown in Vancouver BC is proof that it truly is good luck to see a few rain clouds during a wedding day, and that embracing Plan B is nothing to be upset about. We would be lying if we said we never wished for clear skies and warm weather when we show up to photograph a wedding. The truth is, there are a lot of wonderful things about beautiful weather, but this day is the reminder we needed to embrace the elements and trust our creative approach when finding beauty and magic on a rainy wedding day in the heart of Vancouver.

Like many couples during the pandemic, K + A were separated for many months by border closures and government restrictions, and when they emailed us of their plan to finally reunite with a anniversary session, we could think of no better location to explore than the oceanside cliffs of West Vancouver’s Lighthouse Park.

For years as a photographer here in Vancouver, we have run away from photographing in the city and taking our clients on adventures throughout downtown, but this rainy urban downtown Vancouver engagement session is proof that even in the wettest of conditions, there is magic to be found in every corner of this beautiful city.

There are few wedding venues in Vancouver that are as beautiful and historic as the Hart House Restaurant, and while we have visited this beautiful space many times before, this beautiful fall and modern wedding was truly one of the most beautiful.

We have always been drawn to and taken inspiration from the beautiful landscape that is home to living on the West Coast, and when N + C suggested taking the family boat out on the water in search of some cliffs on Gambier Island to watch the sunset for their engagement session, we almost fainted with excitement. One of the most common questions we are asked when assisting our couples with planning and coordinating their engagement session is ‘where should take our photos’ and while we take pride in our growing list of beautiful local spots, It was the cliffs of Gambier Island and the stunning provincial park in Halket Bay that will stand out as being perhaps the most beautiful west coast engagement session location we have ever adventured to.

We have been photographing weddings and celebrations for many years, but this beautifully intimate, ritualistic and spiritual wedding on Bowen Island was truly a once in a lifetime day for us in the world of Vancouver Wedding Photography.

There is nothing more magical to photograph as a wedding photographer in Vancouver than an intimate elopement ceremony in the middle of an old growth forest at sunset. We have been to the top of mountains, by the water and in the middle of every field, but there is something inherently special about the sun setting through the trees of the Pacific Spirit Regional Park, and in our opinion the perfect setting for a boho inspired elopement ceremony.

This stunning sunset engagement session at West Vancouver’s Whytecliff Park is the perfect reminder of how incredible evening engagement sessions on the west coast can be.

There is nothing more quintessentially West Coast than a couples session on the beach in Tofino BC under a bed of moody clouds as the tide is rolling out towards the horizon. It really is impossible to make a statement like this, but this afternoon might very well be one of our all time favourites over the past many years of photographing couples. We were lucky to join these two beautiful humans for both their engagement session and their wedding, so it seemed fitting that we would quite literally crash their honeymoon in what we can only describe as being the most beautiful spot on planet earth, Tofino.
