Kirin at Starlight Wedding: Ivone and Philip
We’re excited to post this wedding because it’s our first wedding at the Kirin at Starlight restaurant, and I know we’ve had a number of couples who have booked this place next year or are interested in this venue. Ivone and Philip were on a bit of a wedding tour, and Vancouver was their first stop (followed by Hong Kong and Malaysia).
Their joyous and emotional ceremony was held at the Peace Mennonite Church in Richmond.


A lengthy ceremony gave us a lot of time to find all the right angles!

Then we were off to Steveston the photos. These bears had the ride of their lives!







Then to Kirin for the tea ceremony:

Kirin restaurant, in all its glory : )

If you are having an off season wedding and are a little worried about the Vancouver weather, we highly recommend booking a place like Kirin restaurant, because on a rainy day, we could easily do a whole shoot inside this place and probably never run out of ideas. There was eye candy everywhere! Luckily the weather was fine for Ivone and Philip, so we didn’t have a photo shoot at Kirin- but because the decor was so cool, here are two “hey stop!” moments where I knew we had to grab a quick one for them because it was just so darn awesome looking:





So many fun activities : )

The real first dance:


And the toss!

Congrats to Ivone and Philip! We hope you had a blast in Hong Kong and Malaysia too!
