Monica and Michael started their day with a wedding tea ceremony where they served tea to their relatives as a sign of respect. They then had their ceremony at the beautiful St. James Catholic Church in downtown Vancouver. After the ceremony Monica and Michael were taken away by a horse drawn carriage to the Esther Short Park across from the Vancouver Hilton. We did some fun shots in the park before the couple headed into the Hilton to start their lovely reception.

Ophelia and Matthew were married at the gorgeous Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom, having both their ceremony and reception taking place in the large open room. Chinese traditions such as a tea ceremony during the reception and special details found throughout the wedding day, made the whole event both extra special and unique to Ophelia and Matthew. We also took the time to walk the streets of downtown that evening - this made for some romantic shots of just the two of them, peppered in amongst Portland’s downtown scenery such as Old Town and the Max line.
Their choice of a warm winter red for the details looked gorgeous juxtaposed to the incredible blue ceiling in the ballroom itself. Blue Hour Flowers incorporated that same red into all the bouquet’s and the groomsmen boutonnieres, creating flowers and details that visually popped throughout the room.
We also had the pleasure of working again with Travis, of Shields Films. The evening was further complimented with music during both the ceremony and reception and was provided by Stephen, of Celebration Music & Events.

Ada and Brad had a very unique wedding, starting at the First Baptists Church in Portland, and then moving to Governor Hotel Heritage Ballroom. They had around 400 fun guests. Ada had three dresses for the various events, such as the tea ceremony - a traditional white dress, a red dress and a pink dress. Their wedding place cards were golf themed. The table decorations were gorgeous!
