Brooke and Michaels wedding at UBC Boathouse last summer was nothing short of breathtaking. I had the privilege of photographing their special day for my company Community Photography. From capturing their getting ready moments to their emotional first look, followed by a stunning ceremony and reception, this wedding had it all. The day was filled with love, laughter, and pure bliss, making it a dream come true for the couple and their guests. If you're a bride-to-be and looking for some inspiration for your big day, stay tuned, as we're about to take you through all the incredible moments captured at Brooke and Michaels wedding.

The day started at the River Rock Casino in Richmond where Brooke was getting ready. Her bridesmaids (Michaels two beautiful daughters!) were by her side during her preparations, helping her with her dress, make-up, and hair. I was there to capture all the behind-the-scene moments and couldn't help but admire how stunning Brooke looked in her wedding dress. The excitement was palpable in the room, and everyone was looking forward to the wedding ceremony.

The bride and groom then proceeded to the venue, the UBC Boathouse, for the ceremony. The venue was beautifully decorated with floral arrangements that matched the rustic charm of the place. Brooke walked down the aisle looking radiant, and Michael's reaction upon seeing her was priceless. The ceremony was a mix of laughs and tears, and the couple exchanged vows that melted everyone's hearts.

The venue provided a perfect backdrop for the photographs, with the couple and their guests having a great time posing for the camera. As the sun started setting, we were able to capture some stunning sunset shots which created a romantic and magical mood.

The reception space is sunning, set on the Fraser River. The evening was filled with speeches, dancing, and great food.The guests danced the night away, and the venue was filled with laughter and fun.

Brooke and Michaels wedding at UBC Boathouse will forever be one of my favourite. It was a day full of love, warmth, and fun. Brooke and Michaels wedding is proof that weddings are not just about the destination but the journey and the memories that last a lifetime.

Thanks so much for having me! I loved every moment :) xo P

The sky! Her dress. And the way he looked at her!

I’m just swooning over K + T Centennial Beach engagement session in Tsawwassen. I love to leave plenty of time for engagement photos. This is the time I get to talk to the couple and get to know them. I’m photographing their wedding after all!

I met the couple in the parking lot at Centennial Beach. The first thing I notices was how AMAZING they both looked! I like to think of the beginning of our shoot as the ‘warm up’. I generally get the couple to do things that may FEEL super awkward, but look GREAT on camera! They we’re both such great sports and we captured the most beautiful moments. Once the sun starts to set and we enter the ‘golden hour’, that’s when we will head down to the beach for sunset photos.

I loved when Kathleen said, ‘so we’ve done lots of belly smooshing photos, can we just take some fun ones?’ LOL! Yes! I’m all about collaboration so they pulled out their sunnies for some casual fun photos.

As the sun set over boundary bay, the most beautiful pastel sky finished off their engagment photos. The wind picked up lightly and holy smokes, they looked stunning being photographed at the edge of the Pacific Ocean.

Kathleen and Tyler, thank you for letting me capture your photo session. As a Tsawwassen family photographer, to be able to capture two adults so in love, makes such a welcome photo shoot.
