Vancouver Wedding Photographer | Kirin Downtown | Derek + Dorothy

Derek & Dorothy’s wedding day was certainly one for the record books. The girls were up crazy early getting their hair and makeup done at the Carmana Plaza Hotel by fabulous local makeup & hair artist Amanda Gangoso. We shot a first look in the bamboo staircase just outside of the Shangri-La Hotel in downtown Vancouver before heading to the seawall for portraits in the park. Their Catholic ceremony was held at Our Lady of Sorrows in Vancouver and after exchanging vows the newlyweds were off to Kirin Downtown for a traditional Chinese tea ceremony & dinner before they broke it down on the dance floor with a traditional Filipino money dance. Guests enjoyed games, a candy buffet, and a photobooth at this fabulous multi-cultural wedding! Congratulations to Derek & Dorothy! Thank you  both so much for sharing such a beautiful day with us! We can’t wait to hear where baby Wai arrives!! ;) Big ups to Cat McLaren who provided secondary coverage, and to Caileigh Speck to assisted on this wedding!
