Minnekhada Lodge Wedding pictures

Victorian venue with vintage cars surprise gift.

Minnekhada park has a treasure. A small private Victorian wedding venue well hidden in Coquitlam Mountains. A jewell which if you did not see you will never know it does exist. Just across from the more known Swan e set. To get here you have to take a private road which will take you inside  the park through scenic tree alley. Nicole and Christian could not have chosen a better place. For a fall season the venue had a dramatic moody atmosphere. Outdoor ceremony at the red bridge was intimate and in family style outdoor picnic time. Simple, relaxing low key guys who enjoyed each other company at it and left for family portraits covered in bubbles.

Surprise of the day were two vintage classic cars. Mom of the bride wanted to give them a nice prop for bridal party pictures and they nicely fit with the wedding theme.

Since the sun was gone fairly fast the whole day was in low light mood. Bride and groom portraits without anyone watching were a perfect time for them to chill out. More intimate and relaxing portraits usually happen when there is no one else around and they only can see each other in their sight.

With a warm and cozy interior of the Minnekhada lodge, the wedding reception was filled with family portraits, hanging time with friends and of course great party time. After the first dance and cake cutting, the floor was filled with dance hungry guys who hit it really hard. Very nice and easy going couple had a blast with their friends. Candid moments are a paradise for wedding journalism and these guys were simply having great time in front of my cameras.

Thank you Nicole and Christian for having me to capture your unique wedding celebration. It was my pleasure to photograph you 😉

Special Thank you to Diane, Nicole’s mom who actually found me among other Vancouver wedding photographers at Pan Pacific boutique wedding show I am part of. Without you this Minnekhada wedding day would not be like it was. Great work.

Cheers, and good luck in your new adventures guys.
