Teresa & Savio | Holy Rosary Cathedral & The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

This was such a beautiful wedding... from the classically beautiful cathedral to the bright Chinese dresses to the gorgeous sunlight that shone to the endless details that filled the ballroom. And of course, dare I forget to mention the incredible bride and groom. Always smiling, always calm, always up for anything. It was a perfect day surrounded by so many of their loved ones...

Thank you Teresa and Savio, for letting me share in this  beautiful day. You have such a special love and connection, it is so inspiring! Wishing the rest of your years will be filled with as much love as that special day. xoxo

It's all in the details... with CountDown Events

Last summer I was commissioned by CountDown Events to capture the beautiful wedding details of this stunning wedding designed and planned by Soha Lavin. Attention to detail is an understatement with Soha, resulting in an exquisite show piece each and every time. This was no exception...

I was lucky enough to chat with Soha about this wedding, here is what she had to say...

"This wedding was the perfect mix of soft romance and over the top glamour! The sheer number of roses and peonies were staggering!

"I always say love is in the details! Every inch of this beautiful wedding was planned and designed with love and careful consideration for the overall style of the day."

"The amount of peonies brought in for this wedding was astounding. The ballroom smelled heavenly. I adore this flower and we were lucky to be able to source it for the bride as she loved it too!"

"A mix of light blush pinks and creams with a hint of gold was the color palette of this stunning lush creation."

"We obsessed over the stationery and incorporated ribbon, lace and gorgeous imagery on luxurious textured paper."

"We worked with Peter at Ganache very closely to put this cake design of a spilling flower in full bloom together and again we used only a hint of blush pink."

"Hotel Vancouver gave us the foundation for a castle-like setting with gold crown moldings and grand chandeliers."

" We took the candy dessert bar to another level! We had over 50 different confections on the table plus delicious dessert creations by the Chef at Hotel Vancouver."
