Jaimie and Scott’s wedding at Pacific Spirit Regional Park<\/a> was perfect for their intimate elopement! The two had a handful of family fly in from all over the world to watch as Jaimie and Scott exchanged vows in the forest. After exchanging their Minichiello Jewelers<\/a> and Michael Hill<\/a> rings, they headed over to their cake table for celebratory shots and the signing of their marriage license. After some killer couple portraits by Bake Photography<\/a>, Jaimie and Scott had a private dinner at Coast<\/a> with their families to celebrate the joyous occasion!<\/p>\n

I was running late to the ceremony site and didn’t think we’d have time for a first look. Our photographer was there to calm me down, help me breathe, and enjoy a quiet moment with Scott<\/span>. She made taking every photo fun and enjoyable.<\/em><\/p>\n

We wanted have a ceremony that was intimate and captured the beauty of Vancouver for our elopement. I used to walk the trails of a park near our first apartment here because it was so quiet, peaceful, and a great escape from the city. Pacific Spirit Regional Park<\/a> is covered with giant firs and maples, moss, and gorgeous ferns. With that beautiful backdrop, we didn’t really need to decorate. A small clearing off of a trail seemed like the perfect location.<\/em><\/p>\n

I always wanted a laid-back and intimate outdoor wedding with as little traditional pieces as possible. Neither of us are comfortable being the center of attention, so this gorilla-style pop-up wedding was the perfect way to share our love with our closest family. Because photos were going to be especially important to us, we spent a lot of time staging the site.<\/em><\/p>\n

There were only two retailers in BC that reflected my taste in non-traditional dresses. Mine was made by Anais Anette<\/a>, a Canadian company that focuses on clean and feminine lines. It felt very garden-like and was very me. I wore a gold, diamond-encrusted necklace, which belonged to my mother, and a few dainty pieces from Swarovski. I wanted my hair and make-up to be loose, feminine, and natural.<\/em><\/p>\n
