On this gorgeous day we were taken out to Metchosin to work on a wedding day shoot taking place on Bilston Creek Farm. This twelve acre farm was one of the first properties in what would become British Columbia — talk about history! Today, this historic property offers a truly unique backdrop for wedding venues, retreats and events. Inspired by the natural beauty around it, and entwined with the activity of life on the farm. It’s where 170 year old apple trees grow alongside fields of lavender, where you can discover the same wild beauty that’s drawn people there. 

The soft pinks, oranges and peach colours of the florals tied right in with the romantic backdrop of the farm. The perfect location for a romantic french inspired wedding shoot.

We recently collaborated with an amazing team on a styled wedding shoot on the grounds of the Horticultural Gardens of the Pacific. The results… these absolutely stunning images that capture every detail of a wedding day. This is a sneak peak into our world of styling and designing weddings.   Each vendor brought their best to the table to achieve the finished results! We meshed fine art with garden styling and came up with some amazing and intricate details such as a succulent bow tie, matching succulent belts for the flower girl and bride, and cake hanging in the forest and hand painted large scale paintings surrounding a serpentine circle aisle, so the bride and groom pass every guest on the way to and from their vows! Your wedding day, what dreams are made of… and the work that goes on behind the scenes, this is how it all happens!

If you’ve never visited the The Garden’s at the Horticultural Centre of the Pacific (HCP) before, it is a must see! Located just 12 kms from downtown Victoria, the HCP is cared for by staff, students and volunteers! The garden started in 1979 with the philosophy of connecting people with plants. We thought the gardens would be the perfect venue for this wedding day shoot.

Still fawning over the florals we did for this couple last fall. The autumn colours came through in all of the arrangements, made up from rich hues of burgundy, corals and greens that went perfectly inside the library in the Fairmont Empress Hotel. Chelsea Warren Photography was able to capture the couple perfectly in their special moments together.
