westin grand vancouver wedding: miranda&mike

miranda and mike spent the morning of june 2 preparing for their destination wedding at the westin grand hotel. yep, you read right. destination wedding! miranda and mike are from saskatchewan but fell in love with the city of vancouver when miranda came to attend photography school and mike moved with her. they lived in yaletown for the year and after their engagement, both agreed vancouver was the perfect city to revisit and celebrate in! forty of miranda’s closest friends and family made the journey from saskatchewan to BC to spend the weekend at the westin grand with miranda and mike.

everything was so organized when we arrived at the penthouse suite for getting ready photos. miranda’s gorgeous dress by watters (purchased at bisou bridal) photographed beautifully against the large windows. her dress was equally matched by the beauty of two pairs of shoes: manolo blahniks and jimmy choo’s. why choose just one? ;) miranda, her five bridesmaids and her mom, had their hair and makeup done by melanie of mink hair & makeup as well as my cousin kristy of kristy lee makeup. the gorgeous florals were decorated by my favourite stephanie lee of balconi florist. [she did the flowers for my workshop last year!]

after a first look and family photos in yaletown, we zipped over to granville island for a few shots before an afternoon ceremony at celebration pavilion in queen elizabeth park. the weather was perfect. i don’t know how that consistently happens for me — thankful! it can rain all week and boom, sunny wedding day. the best thing about a small wedding is how relaxed it feels. miranda and mike didn’t show a hint of stress or worry all day — only excitement and enjoyment. truly living in the moment. their dinner reception was simply and elegantly decorated — held in the symphony room of the westin grand hotel with a view of one of my favourite vancouver buildings: the library.

loved being a part of your day, miranda and mike. all the best to you!
