Cecil Green Park House Wedding Photos & Photoshoots

Cecil Green Park House, Vancouver Heritage Mansion Wedding Venue

Cecil Green Park House is a Tudor style heritage mansion wedding venue perched on the cliffs of UBC in Vancouver, overlooking the Strait of Georgia and the North Shore mountains. Surrounded by manicured gardens, stone paths, and ocean views, it is perfect for couples who want an elegant estate wedding that still feels very West Coast and outdoorsy. If you are looking for experienced Vancouver wedding photographers who know the property, light, and weather at UBC, Cecil Green Park House is a venue we have photographed many times.

What we love for photos

• Ocean and mountain views. The back lawn and terraces look out over Howe Sound and the mountains, giving you sweeping coastal backdrops for ceremonies, cocktail hour, and golden hour portraits.
• Formal gardens and stone paths. Winding stone walkways, rhododendrons, magnolias, cherry blossoms, and a koi pond create layered, romantic backdrops that change with the seasons and work beautifully for first looks and family photos.
• Historic interiors and grand staircase. Inside, the wood panelled rooms, fireplaces, and grand staircase are perfect for portraits, first looks, and moody evening images, and they double as classy rain plans when the weather turns.
• Indoor and outdoor flexibility. You can host an outdoor garden ceremony and move inside for dinner and dancing, or keep everything indoors on stormy days, which keeps your timeline simple and your gallery cohesive.
• UBC campus and nearby beaches. A short drive or walk takes you to forested trails and beaches like Spanish Banks, so you can add forest or beach portraits to your Cecil Green wedding without leaving the area.

How we photograph this venue

Cecil Green Park House combines bright outdoor lawns and ocean views with much darker, warm interior rooms, so careful lighting is key. We use advanced off camera lighting to keep you bright and flattering against backlit views outside, then shape soft, directional light inside so the wood and candlelight feel rich without turning orange or muddy. Our photojournalistic approach means we focus on real moments as guests explore the gardens, enjoy cocktail hour on the terrace, and fill the dance floor inside, while building in short, efficient portrait sessions around the house, gardens, and nearby UBC locations so you do not miss much of your party.
