Carol & Randy’s Timeless Vancouver Wedding Celebration
Carol and Randy’s story started back in 2013. They met one night at a Christmas party, and by 2014, their journey together officially began. From then on, it’s been a beautiful ride filled with food, travel, and unforgettable memories.
They’ve explored places like Hawaii and Japan, soaking in different cultures, sharing countless meals, and snapping all the photos along the way. Both huge foodies, their adventures always included something delicious. They supported each other through everything including their journey to becoming Canadian citizens. And in 2025, they said “I do” in one of the most unique and timeless venues in Vancouver.
The Day
Meaningful Moments from Start to Finish
Carol and Randy got ready at a close friend’s home, surrounded by laughter, hair and makeup, and a lot of excitement. I ended up driving Carol myself so they could keep their first look a surprise and build that anticipation right before the ceremony.
The ceremony was emotional and beautiful. Every word felt meaningful. There were tears all across the front row. After a Labubu toss to celebrate, they shared a first dance that was so well practiced, yet still felt effortless and real.
The reception was incredible. The setting was cozy and elegant. The food was amazing. And most of all, the love and support from their friends made everything feel even more special.

Afterwards, we explored some of my favorite photo spots starting with the Rose Garden for portraits, then a quick stop at the Totem Poles for those iconic downtown Vancouver views.
