Domenic & Brian promised forever to one another on a rather hot Monday afternoon at Vancouver’s Hycroft Manor. The sun beat down as they exchanged vows in the lush gardens of the historic estate. Following the traditional ceremony, Dee & Brian had a tea ceremony inside the manor, honoring their cultural heritage and adding a unique touch to their wedding day.

Dee & Brian kept their celebration small with only seventy guests–those who mattered most to them. This intimate gathering created an atmosphere of warmth and closeness, as friends and family gathered to witness their union. I love that they chose a Monday, as well! Domenic was so cute; I asked her, “What made you pick a Monday wedding?” and she answered, “Hmm. I just thought, why not? Long weekend for our guests!”

The afternoon was spent leisurely enjoying great food and time with guests before some portraits of the wedding party around the gorgeous property. We did our best to stay out of the crazy heat by exploring some of the rooms at the house, finding charming nooks and crannies for photos. After portraits, we headed to Stanley Park for a reception at the always elegant Stanley Park Tea House.

The decor was impeccable; Dee’s purple/peacock theme was incredible, with rich hues of purple and touches of shimmering gold creating a luxurious atmosphere. The head table with its incredible, towering centerpieces was my favourite, a stunning focal point in the room. Guests mingled, enjoying cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, while Dee & Brian danced their first dance as husband and wife.

Thank you two so much for inviting me to capture your day: it was a pleasure! Your Hycroft Manor wedding day was a beautiful celebration of love and I feel honoured to have been a part of it. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together!
