Vancouver Club Wedding from Cedar Tree Wedding

The morning of August 11, 2012 dawned with gorgeous sunshine under a blue sky, a perfect day for Vancouver's Marie-Astrid Dubant and Zied Trabelsi. Zied had spent the night at the Fairmont Pacific Rim with his four best men then headed to a barbershop in Gastown where the guys indulged in a fresh shave and haircut, while Marie-Astrid luxuriated in the spa with her bridesmaids and family members. As expected by by family and friends, the wedding day went just as Marie-Astrid had planned it for the past 12 months, and the ceremony venue, the Queen Elizabeth Park Celebration Pavilion, ...

Odawara, Japan Wedding from Gabi Moeller

After a small informal ceremony in Whistler, Mima Hirose and Evan Iveson flew to Japan for a traditional Shinto-style wedding. "Celebrating our union in Japan meant the world to both my wife, a Japanese citizen, and myself as the visitor," says Evan. "It was an unreal experience." The two count themselves lucky to have had their families and a few friends from Canada by their side. The couple rented traditional kimonos for their ceremony held at Hotoku Ninomiya Shrine in Odawara city, and Mima recalls that it was difficult to find one to fit Evan, given his height. Evan also ...

Waterfall Building Wedding from Jarusha Brown

Kasey Burgess and Arnold Chan had been a part of each other’s lives for over 10 years before Arnold proposed in Japan, at the end of an around-the-world trip, surrounded by snow-dusted bonsai trees overlooking Mount Fuji. After a stop in Hong Kong where Arnold was born, the couple fell in love with the city and decided to make their new home together there. Still, they chose Vancouver for their wedding, as it had always been a special place to them, as well as being an easier location to gather friends and family. As Arnold is an architect and Kasey an ...

West Coast Chic Wedding from Christie Graham

Bryn and Jeff French love to entertain family and friends. For the two of them, planning their wedding day was just like hosting another fun and relaxed get-together — only on a much larger scale. Although they realize that a wedding is all about the couple, they wanted their own day to be about their guests and ensuring everyone felt loved, special and well taken care of. Both born and raised in B.C., Bryn and Jeff naturally chose a West Coast chic style for their wedding look, achieved through a green and cream palette, accented with wooden features (including cedar ...

Modern Rustic Wedding from James Moes

Fun, relaxed and casual was how Heather and Jonathan Robertson described the wedding of their dreams. And, the Langley couple now say, that's exactly what they got, thanks to a dream team of professional helpers. While the couple had booked a few key components for the day already (Heather had even created her own stationery!), Erin Bishop and her Filosophi Event Planning team immediately clicked with the couple and quickly grasped the rustic-yet-modern look and feel that Heather and Jonathan were after. Heather had also been following the work of Seattle photographer James Moes for a few years, so choosing ...
