Sunset Bay Yacht Wedding: Lisa and Denis

This doesn’t look like Vancouver to me! Lisa and Denis were married aboard the Sunset Bay Yacht and stayed at the Westin Bayshore. Spending the evening cruising around Vancouver’s harbours and enjoying the heat mixed with a little breeze was soo nice. It was a blast!

Wow! If I could type whistling noises here, I would! : )

So while the girls were busy for several hours getting their hair styled, makeup applied, putting on their dresses and the many other final touches, let’s flip over to the guys, where you can see in a span of a few minutes what is involved in a groom’s prep: On goes the tie, aaaaaaaaaaannnnd we’re done. Is it as tough as it looks guys?

The guests awaited Lisa and Denis on the top deck, and Lisa was escorted to the yacht under an umbrella so that no one could steal a glimpse of her before the ceremony. I loved the cute little spiral staircase on the yacht!

After the ceremony, the boat returned to land to drop off the officiant and to allow for us and the wedding party to hit land for a quick shoot.

And it was a very quick shoot! So I am glad that the Pelaez‘ scouted out these glorious vents (seen below) in the Coal Harbour area in a previous shoot of theirs. We had no time to waste looking around : )

And we made sure to hit up W Georgia’s famous LOVE sculpture as well before we went back to the yacht.

We cruised past the lighthouse park and back into the Burrard Inlet, guests were treated to scenes like this all evening!
