Marie & Peter’s wedding day was filled with so many memorable moments. One that stands out is their First Look at Pacific Spirit Park. The warm October sunlight streaming through the forest created a magical atmosphere—it was such a joyful moment. Before their church ceremony, they also exchanged vows in a private ceremony in the woods, with only their immediate families and wedding party. It felt intimate and truly special.

Their ceremony took place at Canadian Memorial United Church, one of my favorite venues in Vancouver. After their vows, they took communion, served by Marie’s dad, who also officiated. What made it even more meaningful was the use of the same communion cup Marie’s parents had at their wedding 40 years ago, all while Peter’s mom sang a beautiful Irish blessing.

The vintage Rolls Royce they rented made for some gorgeous photos in Stanley Park, and the bubble-gum-pink sunset over the Vancouver Rowing Club was breathtaking. The reception was full of laughter, speeches, and fun, but one of the best surprises was when Marie and Peter hit the dance floor in matching sweatsuits! Their guests definitely didn’t see that coming, and it added a fun vibe (that felt very “Marie and Peter”) to an already unforgettable evening.
