This past spring we noticed a trend: lots of couples were flocking to Stanley Park for intimate elopements and small weddings. Even with our notorious Vancouver rain, spouses-to-be couldn’t stay away from the great outdoors, romantic setting and natural beauty of the trees, beaches and landscapes of Stanley Park.
Here are a few of our favourite moments from a series of spring weddings in Stanley Park!
Sarah & Shane
Sarah and Shane got hitched in Stanley Park with Shawn Miller on a wet Vancouver day. They also brought their dog and baby to be along for the ride. That’s right – Sarah managed to look this stunning in the rain and with pregnancy back pain! Photos by Erica Miller Photography.
Jenna & Roy
It was another rainy day in Stanley Park for Jenna & Roy but that didn’t keep the smiles off their faces. They headed down to 3rd Beach and even brought some team spirit with them on Roy’s hat! Photos by Erica Miller Photography.
Rachel & David
Rachel & David also chose 3rd Beach for their Stanley Park elopement. And instead of a traditional white dress, Rachel opted for a gorgeous blue lace sheath that we are in love with. Photos by Erica Miller Photography.
Marla & Todd
Marla & Todd journeyed all the way from Missouri to get married in our iconic Vancouver rain. And they were our third couple to get married on 3rd Beach! Photos by Erica Miller Photography.
Pamela & Richard
For Pamela & Richard it was a secret elopement in Stanley Park that they got to surprise their friends and family with. Check out Richard’s cute sign with the cityscape in the background. Photos by Erica Miller Photography.
Andres & Lucy
The rain clouds finally cleared for Andres & Lucy’s special day. They brought lots of smiles, bright flowers and adorable dance moves to their Stanley Park elopement. Photos by Emily Nicole Photos.
Steve & Vanessa
We couldn’t escape the rain for long! It was a wet day for Steve, Vanessa and Officiant Jane but that didn’t dampen their smiles. And we’re loving Vanessa’s casual-cool bridal style. Photos by Emily Nicole Photos.
