Celebrating Love at HMSC Discovery Naval Reserve: Chris and Jake's Beautiful Wedding at Stanley Park

Love knows no bounds and it was evident in every moment of Chris and Jake's wedding at HMSC Discovery Naval Reserve on Stanley Park. This couple chose a stunning location to exchange their vows, amidst the tranquil beauty of Vancouver's largest natural park, Stanley Park. Capturing the essence of this wedding was a real privilege for me. From the "getting ready" photos at the Delta hotel downtown Vancouver to the magical sunset ceremony and reception at HMSC Discovery, every moment was filled with joy, laughter, and heartfelt emotions. I'm so excited to share the highlights of this beautiful wedding with you!

The preparations for the big day began at the Delta hotel in downtown Vancouver where Chris and Jake got ready with their closest friends. Both guys looked oh so handsome (just check out the photos!). I captured incredible moments of laughter, fun conversations, and excited moments between the two wedding parties.

Once the preparations were complete, we moved to Stanley Park for the ceremony and reception. As we walked through the Westcoast surroundings, the stunning HMSC Discovery Naval Reserve came into view.

Chris and Jake's ceremony at HMSC Discovery was a beautiful reflection of their love for each other. Surrounded by loved ones and nature, these two exchanged heartfelt vows that were teeming with love. So much love and joy between the family and friends as they witnessed the union of these two.

After the ceremony, we moved to the reception area, which was strategically placed to give a magnificent view of the city. The decors, the flowers, the speeches, and the music all combined to create an ambiance that was fitting for such a joyous occasion. There were tears of joy and emotion, laughter, and heartfelt embraces. Chris and Jake's wedding was indeed a celebration of love in its purest form, and every detail was meticulously planned to create a memorable experience.

As the sun set behind the Vancouver skyline, we captured some stunning photographs of the couple, with Downtown Vancouver in the background.

At the end of the day, Chris and Jake's wedding was truly an unforgettable experience, one that I'll will always cherish. The wedding was a testament to the fact that love knows no boundaries and that it can be celebrated in many ways. Celebrate your love, make it magical, and most importantly, make it your own. Thank you, Chris and Jake, for giving me the opportunity to capture your special moments!

A Beautiful Affair at UBC Boathouse | Brooke & Michaels Wedding

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
