bride and groom kissing on their wedding day at hycroft manor in vancouver, bc

Emily + Landon

Emily and Landon's wedding at Hycroft Manor was one of those days where everything flowed perfectly. It was warm, the gardens were in full bloom, and every part of the celebration felt like it belonged exactly where it was.

Set in one of Vancouver's most iconic historic wedding venues, their day leaned into everything that makes a summer garden party wedding work so well. Think lush greenery, timeless architecture, and an atmosphere that was both slow and present.

Emily spent the morning getting ready inside the manor with her closest girlfriends. Landon's morning had the same calm energy with his crew. Before long, everyone was making their way into the gardens as guests settled into the late summer afternoon. The ceremony took place surrounded by the stunning gardens at their summer peak.

One of my favourite parts of photographing weddings at Hycroft is that portraits never feel disconnected from the day! After the ceremony, Emily and Landon didn't disappear for an hour while everyone enjoyed cocktail hour, we simply wandered around the property together.

The stone pathways, ivy-covered walls, and layered gardens offered so much variety without ever leaving the property. My favourite photographs of the two of them happened between locations, when they weren't thinking about the camera at all!

The reception carried the same feeling as the rest of the day. Elegant and relaxed, without feeling overly polished. Long tables, fresh summer florals, and conversations that spilled between courses made it feel more like the best dinner party imaginable than a traditional wedding reception. Guests moved easily between the gardens and the celebration, and as golden hour settled over the manor, it gave us one last stretch of incredible light before the evening gave way to dancing downstairs.

Emily and Landon's wedding reminded me why Hycroft remains one of my favourite wedding venues in Vancouver. It has a rare combination of historic architecture, expansive gardens, and beautiful natural light that makes every part of the day feel so connected.

More than anything, though, it suited them. It was thoughtful, relaxed, and full of meaningful moments!
