A Vancouver Mountain Wedding
Vancouver wedding photographer, Pursell Photography captured this mountain-view celebration. From the bride's gorgeous lace dress to her stylish veil and bouquet of flowers, it was a romantic affair with just enough sparkle for all eyes on her. The groom couldn't take his eyes off of her either!

The most epic wedding first look ever!
We had a beautiful wedding day that we can't wait for you to see. The morning started with an epic first look, followed by a ride on the gondola and finally a gorgeous ceremony overlooking Howe Sound.

Garter Toss at a Vancouver Wedding
One of the most fun moments in a wedding is when the bride and groom toss their garter to all their single friends. This event usually takes place after dinner, but before cutting the cake. The bride's maids will stand around her as she sits on a chair or stool while wearing her gown with long train (or have it draped over one arm).

The Northern Lights are one of the most sought after natural phenomena in our world, and with good reason- they're otherworldly! Capturing this phenomenon is no easy feat, but it's well worth the time and effort to have an unforgettable moment captured. This couple was able to experience their first kiss as husband and wife under these beautiful auroras.
