Capturing Love: Brad and Jenika's Wedding at Koerner's Pub
At Affinity Wedding Photography, we believe that every wedding tells a unique story. Brad and Jenika’s special day at Koerner’s Pub, the graduate student pub at the University of British Columbia, was a beautiful celebration of love and connection. Nestled in the basement of Thea Koerner House, this intimate venue provided the perfect setting for their wedding day.
The day started with an emotional moment between Jenika and her mother. Dressed in an elegant white gown with a lace bodice and long sleeves, Jenika radiated joy as she embraced her mother, who looked stunning in a blue lace dress. This heartfelt exchange, captured against a rustic wooden fence, set the stage for a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Meanwhile, I documented candid shots of guests arriving, capturing the anticipation and excitement leading up to the ceremony.
Getting Ready for the Ceremony As the couple prepared to say their vows, emotions ran high. In a cozy tent, Brad and Jenika shared a quiet moment together, surrounded by their closest friends and family. The officiant, microphone in hand, stood ready to guide them through their heartfelt vows. I focused on capturing not only Brad and Jenika’s expressions but also the emotions of their parents and guests, ensuring every meaningful glance and joyful tear was preserved.
After the ceremony, Brad and Jenika celebrated with a joyous toast among friends and family. The newlyweds, glowing with happiness, clinked glasses in a moment of pure celebration. The laughter and love shared during this time were a testament to the deep bonds they have with their loved ones, and our wedding photography beautifully captured these cherished interactions.
Following the ceremony, we headed to the Pacific Spirit Trail in Vancouver West for their wedding portrait session. Brad and Jenika wanted a natural, outdoor setting to complement their love story. Against the serene backdrop of the lush forest, I captured intimate portraits of the couple as well as joyful group shots with their wedding party. Their energy and excitement made the session truly enjoyable, and the stunning surroundings provided the perfect canvas for their love story.
During the reception, Brad delivered a moving speech, thanking their guests for being part of their journey. Dressed in a classic black suit and crisp white shirt, he spoke with deep emotion, while Jenika stood by his side, her hand resting lovingly on his shoulder. This moment of gratitude and connection was one of the many highlights of the evening, and I ensured it was captured with authenticity and warmth.
As the night unfolded, Brad and Jenika took to the dance floor, surrounded by their friends and family. Their first dance as a married couple was filled with joy, their smiles reflecting the love they shared. The energy of the evening was electric, with laughter and celebration filling the air. I captured the movement, emotions, and atmosphere of this unforgettable night, preserving these memories for a lifetime.
