Grouse Mountain Winter Wedding - Elizabeth and Trevor

Liz and Trevor's Intimate Winter Wedding at Altitudes Restaurant on Grouse Mountain // Vancouver Island Wedding Photographers

The temperature is soaring in Vancouver this week, and it seems like summer has come early.  So today, we're posting Liz and Trevor's Grouse Mountain wedding to cool you all off. 

Our first experience with Liz and Trevor was the time we shot their surprise proposal at the Grouse Mountain sleigh ride.  We were really excited to make our way back up Grouse Mountain to shoot their wedding, at the same place they got got engaged! What a treat.

We started off with Liz and Trevor's first look on the staircase in the Grouse lodge, with their bridal party looking on.  Then we ventured out onto the snow capped mountain for group photos before heading over to Capilano Heights for their ceremony with friends and family. Kudos to this group for braving the chilly mountain weather like champs, while we stayed warm in our winter boots and jackets.

After the ceremony, it was time for portraits with Liz and Trevor.  We had a great time with with these two, wandering around the mountain in the snow.  They were super silly and sweet together, and even told us they did some practicing with posing before the wedding. It was fun to watch them ham it up for the camera, which made for lots of great candid moments and laughs!

Liz and Trevor's reception at Altitudes Restaurant was a rockin' good time. They even had a special guest come to teach everyone at the wedding how to do the céilidh.  We made ourselves dizzy in the excitement of capturing all their guests twirling, and dancing, and spinning about with the biggest smiles on all their faces. It turned out to be the biggest group dance session we've ever been in the centre of.  How awesome!  

As the evening came to an end, the snow started to fall, finishing off a perfect snowy spring day.  

Thanks for having us there to capture your day, Liz and Trevor. Congratulations again, we hope you love the photos!

Fraser River Fishing Lodge Wedding - Mikaela and Colin

Mikaela and Colin's Winter Wedding at Fraser River Lodge // BC Wedding Photographers

It's no surprise that most weddings are held during summer months for the weather aspect. It takes a brave and unique couple to host a winter wedding.  Mikaela and Colin are one of those couples to pull it off immaculately, at their Fraser River Lodge venue, and we LOVE it.  Winter weddings like Mikaela and Colin's have such an intimate and romantic feel, keeping our hearts toasty warm.

When we first arrived at Fraser River Lodge for Mikaela and Colin's wedding, we were giddy.  The giant log building with soaring ceilings, has a glass wall with views of the Fraser River and mountain range beyond. The mist was creeping in making the mountain look like a gigantic, rough blue sapphire. A perfect complement to contrast Mikaela's beautiful white gown, and her choice of white and red decor.

We had a blast being flies-on-the wall at Mikaela and Colin's reception. Between games, the PebbleBooth, and the biggest Congo line we have EVER seen (seriously, almost every guest was part of it), there were loads of shared laughs and silly antics.

Thanks for having us along, you two! Hope you love the photos! 

Check out some of the the awesome photos!
