Becky & Darren

Becky and Darren are such a great couple! They are a crossover couple for us - Becky works at the PNE and we do a ton of their weddings, and she and Darren are friends with a group of people whose weddings we shot last year. It was so much fun seeing familiar faces in the audience.

With their ceremony at Swan-e-set, Becky and Darren chose a stunning backdrop for their "I do's". We took advantage of some of the scenery with familly photos and a little bit of the Italian Job on the long, winding road through the grounds.



After a few minutes in the grass and trees, we opted for a change of scenery and headed into Vancouver's urban neighbourhoods.



We borrowed a bike from a friend of Jen's who happened to be cycling past.



The Bridal Party was just as wonderful to spend the day with as Becky and Darren. And they were pretty comfortable with us and in front of the camera:




At the reception, Becky and Darren were surrounded by family and friends, all of whom were having a great time! The 10 course Chinese banquet was puntuated by a series of heartfelt speeches and funny moments. Like most Chinese weddings, there were some games played. From what I can tell, the sole purpose of these games is to embarass the bride and groom while keeping the entire room laughing. They're usually fairly tame and involve a lot of kissing. This wedding was no exception, expect for one of the games which involved a raincoat, shower cap, bridesmaids and whipped cream:



And I can't forget one of our favorite characters of all time: Ron. This guy was a groomsman at two weddings we photographed last year (Justin & Faye, and Tammy & Terry). He is so much fun, he keeps the entire bridal party laughing. While he wasn't actually in the bridal party at this wedding, we felt he deserved an honorable mention after he posed so nicely for the camera. I can't wait for his wedding day!
