Eloping on the West Coast of Canada
Nestled in the forest, this elopement on Bowen Island was intimate and truly embraced the West Coast. As much flexibility as an elopement can bring, it’s important to not let mother nature disappoint you. Rain can be a beautiful thing!
The West Coast of Canada is home to some of the tallest trees in the country and is considered a temperate rainforest. rain and fog is a natural occurrence, making this landscape lush and vibrant for most of the year. With that in mind, plan your elopement accordingly and be prepared for whatever your day brings you. Having umbrellas, warm and waterproof jackets, along with decent footwear will set you up for success. If you can embrace the elements, I promise you won’t regret it!
Toast, dance, and eat cake
While planning this elopement on Bowen Island, we tried to create an afternoon that would be romantic and fun. Once the ceremony location was determined, we decided that couple portraits on the beach would be the perfect compliment to their forested nuptials. They brought bubbles to toast and a homemade cake to celebrate which created some amazing candid moments. In between it all we stopped in at RILEY’S CIDERY and danced in the rain. nothing was going to keep these two from smiling.
Despite the weather, they celebrated in style. Driving along the Island together, we explored stunning locations and didn’t feel rushed. Being able to schedule a few hours with my couples allows me to create diverse imagery while providing space to enjoy the moments.
