What could be more beautiful than a summer wedding, hosted as the UBC Botanical Gardens! A beautiful backdrop for a beautiful couple. The weather was out in full sunshine, giving the wedding party and their guests an amazing splendor of an evening. The meal started with bar, canapes, and featured drinks – then the ceremony space was transformed into a long table plated dinner.
