vincent + vivian destination wedding vancouver, b.c.

Vincent and Vivian were married on 05.09.09 at St. Andrew’s-Wesley United Church in Vancouver, BC and held their reception at Kirin Seafood Restaurant in Richmond, BC. We totally lucked out with the weather that day! Vince and Vivian were great to work with, they are an awesome couple with a great sense of humor! The morning for us started at 8:30am with Vince and Vivian getting ready for the day’s events that lasted throughout the day and into late evening. It was a beautiful traditional Chinese Wedding with lots of fun games, tea ceremonies and seriously good food! Vivian had several outfit changes during the day, starting with the Chinese qua, then into here wedding dress and then the cheong sum. They were great models for us as we drove all around Vancouver for photo ops, so was the bridal party.  Don’t miss their slide show below.
