When it comes to unforgettable wedding days, Anika and Shaun’s celebration at Rowena’s Inn on the River—tucked along the stunning Sandpiper Golf Course—was something out of a dream. With the Fraser River flowing nearby, lush forest surrounds, and an air of timeless romance, this day was the perfect blend of elegance, nature, and genuine connection.
The morning began in the Victorian-style manor, where Anika got ready in a space that felt like a page from a vintage fairytale. Soft natural light poured through the windows, highlighting her intricate details and calm, radiant beauty. Meanwhile, Shaun prepared for the big day in one of the luxurious riverside cabins, offering the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Every setting was a photographer’s dream, offering texture, light, and story in every frame.
The ceremony took place in a forest clearing, where towering trees provided a natural canopy and the most peaceful atmosphere. Anika and Shaun stood hand in hand, surrounded by family, friends, and bright, breathtaking florals that added the perfect pop of color against the woodland green. The entire scene felt intimate, heartfelt, and steeped in love.
What makes Rowena’s Inn truly special is its incredible versatility. Around every corner, there’s a new pocket of magic—rolling greens, serene riverside views, storybook architecture, and cozy forest nooks. It’s truly one of the most stunning and adaptable venues in the Vancouver Lower Mainland.
The reception was held beneath a marquee tent that gave off the most enchanting garden party vibe. Bulb lights sparkled overhead, casting a warm glow across tables adorned with bright florals, elegant place settings, and soft candlelight. The energy was joyful, relaxed, and full of celebration. Every toast, every laugh, every dance felt like a moment suspended in time.
And then—the first dance at dusk. Under the glow of string lights, with the gentle hum of the forest around them and the soft flicker of a nearby gas firepit, Anika and Shaun shared a moment that was truly unforgettable. It was cinematic, romantic, and the kind of moment that makes your heart skip a beat behind the camera.
Anika and Shaun, thank you for inviting me to capture your love story in one of the most magical settings I’ve ever seen. Your day was a true reflection of who you are—elegant, joyful, and deeply connected.
Here’s to a lifetime of dancing under the stars, cozy fireside moments, and vibrant love that feels just like this day.
