A Timeless and Elegant Swaneset Bay Resort & Country Club Wedding in Vancouver

This Swaneset Bay Resort & Country Club wedding in Vancouver was a beautiful mix of elegance, emotion, and genuine fun. From the moment I arrived, the day felt calm, joyful, and full of love. Maureen and Oliver planned a meaningful celebration surrounded by family and friends at the stunning Swaneset Bay Resort & Country Club, and every part of the day flowed naturally.

A Relaxed Start to the Day

The morning began with a relaxed and happy energy. Family and friends were close by, sharing quiet moments and laughter while getting ready. Maureen looked stunning in her two piece white wedding dress, paired with a classic veil that added a timeless feel. Oliver wore an all black suit and tie, keeping things clean, modern, and elegant.

Their color palette of black, white, and light blue worked beautifully with the natural greens and open views around the venue.

Why They Chose Swaneset Bay Resort & Country Club

Maureen and Oliver chose Swaneset Bay Resort & Country Club because they loved the scenery and share a love for golf. The wide open grounds, mountain views, and peaceful surroundings made it the perfect location for both their ceremony and reception.

For couples planning a Swaneset Bay Resort & Country Club wedding, this venue offers a seamless experience. Everything is in one place, the setting feels elevated yet welcoming, and the flow of the day feels effortless.

A Ceremony Filled with Emotion

The ceremony was one of the most memorable parts of the day. This was a beautiful Chinese and Filipino mixed culture wedding, and the love and emotion were felt by everyone present. There were happy tears, warm smiles, and meaningful moments shared between the couple and their families.

It was the kind of ceremony where everyone was fully present, which always makes those moments especially powerful to capture.

Thoughtful Details That Made the Day Personal

One detail that stood out was the lanterns Maureen and Oliver gifted to their guests as wedding thank you gifts. It was a thoughtful and meaningful touch that fit perfectly with the elegant and classy feel of the day.

Small details like this add so much personality and make a wedding feel truly special.

Celebrating with Family and Friends

As the day moved into the reception, the atmosphere shifted into celebration. There was laughter, dancing, and so much joy in the room. It felt more like a big family gathering than a formal event, which made the evening even more meaningful.

Maureen and Oliver found me through Instagram and shared that they chose to work with me because I’m easy to work with and photograph in a documentary, candid style. My focus was on capturing real moments as they naturally happened, allowing them to fully enjoy their day.
