Wedding at Hart House Restaurant at Deer Lake - Charlene and Josh

Charlene and Josh Get Married in an Outdoor Ceremony at Hart House in Burnaby // Victoria Wedding Photographers

When we headed from Victoria to Burnaby, to photograph Charlene and Josh's wedding, we knew we were going to be in a for a treat.  They had so many great events planned for their day, so we'd have lots of action to cover, and lots of people to meet in the process - from the tea ceremony, to first look, to western ceremony, right up to dinner, and dancing to live music, it was going to be a great day!   We started the day off with a traditional Tea Ceremony with Charlene and Josh's family and close friends, intimate and heartfelt. Char dressed in a stunning red and gold embroidered silk gown,  and was a vision done up in hair and makeup by The Love Team. 

As we arrived at Hart House it was immediately clear how much care and planning went into  planning every detail of Charlene and Josh's day - even doing most of the planning long distance, since Char had spent so much time in Minnesota doing her residency program (big congrats to her!!).  Amanda and her team at DreamGroup Productions helped the couple pull together so many gorgeous details, from their live music by Amanda Wood Music , and their stunning floral creations from The Flower Factory.  With all these incredible details creating a beautiful atmosphere, there was another detail that stood out for us, and it reflects on the type of wonderful people that Charlene and Josh are.  On the folded side of each place card, was a personal note, handwritten to each and every single guest, from the couple.  When we saw all the thoughtfulness and care put into this detail, our jaws just dropped - Char and Josh knew exactly how to let their guests know that the wedding was as much about celebrating with their loved ones, as it was about celebrating the two of them.

Congratulations Charlene and Josh, we're so happy you had us there! We hope you love the photos!

Burnaby Mountain Rose Garden Wedding - Tanya and John

Tanya and John's Wedding at the Rose Gardens on Burnaby Mountain and Reception at The Burnaby Rowing Club // BC Wedding Photography

You probably remember Tanya and John’s fun carnival engagement, where followed these two around from ride to ride, game to game, cotton candy to cotton candy.  We knew from their love of bright colours, the whirlwinds of laughter, and their sense of adventure, that their wedding would be a blast.

Tanya and John got married at the rose garden on Burnaby Mountain, with views of the Burrard Inlet, and downtown Vancouver. With the roses in full bloom, and bridesmaids in bright pink, even this overcast day seemed bright and cheery!

In true Tanya and John style, following the ceremony, we headed over to Deer Lake Park to take a ride on the carousel, and explore the park.  After that, we joined their family and friends for the reception festivities at the Burnaby Rowing club, where Tanya’s hard work shined. She had done an amazing job creating the atmosphere for her own reception by handmaking all the decor, right down to making the cupcakes for her delicious dessert centrepieces.  Filled with dancing, partying, and lots of laughter, and views over Burnaby Lake, Tanya and John’s wedding was one to remember.

Hope you enjoy the photos!
