What a day, what a day! A beautiful cultural wedding Irish and Portuguese it’s fantastic when couples include their family traditions and include their own details to make their wedding day unique to themselves.

John and Laura said I do in the beautiful Holy Rosary Cathedral, in Vancouver on June 12th. It was a beautiful ceremony and the Vancouver weather cooperated with us and shone stunning light through the stained glass windows. After the ceremony we had some sweet treats at cupcakes on Denman, this is Laura and John’s favourite shop so it was great to stop in for a few minutes. When we walked around the Sea Wall the bridal party was showered in cheers, whistles and yells of congratulations from all the sunbathers!

Here are just a few of our favourites photos from the day. Enjoy!

A few late guests receive a greeting from Laura’s Dad!! That was awesome!

The photo on the left was Laura’s Mom and her Dad, it was important to Laura to recreate this photo with her Dad on her wedding Day…Check!

Okay, there is a reason we didn’t zoom in on the cyclists…It just so happened that a naked bike ride with hundreds of cyclists went by us as we were getting the cute romantic shots outside of the church. Jen and I mentioned something about getting “detail” shots which made us all laugh!

We matched the table names to the invitations and Laura’s theme of Alice in Wonderland. We also made a fantastic signing book from their engagement photos.

John’s speech made us laugh when he admitted to writing it on the back of the World Cup schedule!

Thank you John and Laura once again for letting us be a part of your  day. We wish you all the happiness in the world!
