A beautiful bride and handsome groom make for a gorgeous wedding, and it was our privilege to be able to capture the amazing wedding of Clare & Brian. The wedding took place in Vancouver on board The Wedding Yacht. Vancouver is a spectacular city and what better place to experience the sights than on a boat cruising through Vancouver Harbour. The Wedding Yacht is a very neat way to plan a wonderful wedding experience. The yacht was docked near the Westin Bayshore Vancouver hotel where the couple and their huge wedding party of bridesmaids and groomsmen got ready. Clare & Brian are both from the US but fell in love with Vancouver during a visit here and decided it was the perfect place to get married. On their first visit to the city, they had their first meal at Cardero’s and so we took a few photos outside the restaurant. Their friends and family all got to experience Vancouver and Canada for the first time and hopefully many of them will come back in the future! Clare had planned a beautiful wedding, complete with lots of cool details like customized purses from Etsy with individual messages stitched inside for all of her bridesmaids. Brian had one of the most awesome groom’s cakes we’ve ever seen (check it out below). We had set up a first sighting for the couple, and then took some photographs with the wedding party. Next, it was time to board the yacht and float out for the wedding ceremony with Stanley Park as the backdrop. Once the ceremony was over, the party began, and the yacht cruised out into Vancouver Harbour and up through the Lower Mainland. After some fabulous food and touching speeches, the dancing began on the top deck of the boat and the DJ played into the night. The evening was completed with a sparkler exit for the newlyweds. It was an incredible wedding and one that we’ll never forget. Thanks to Clare & Brian, and we wish you a fun and adventurous happily ever after.
