Elegant Vancouver Club Wedding with Traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony & Lion Dance | Vancouver Wedding Photography

Tucked into the heart of downtown, The Vancouver Club is one of those wedding venues that feels timeless the moment you walk through the doors. With its heritage architecture, rich wood interiors, and elegant city views, it’s the perfect backdrop for couples who love a classic, refined aesthetic with a touch of old-world charm.

As a wedding photographer, I’m always drawn to the way light moves through the Club’s historic rooms: soft window light for romantic portraits, dramatic textures for editorial details, and intimate spaces that naturally elevate every moment. A wedding at The Vancouver Club is always timeless, but this celebration was especially meaningful as it beautifully blended classic elegance with rich cultural tradition. Set within the Club’s historic interiors, the day began with a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, an intimate and emotional moment honouring family and heritage.

From there, guests arrived to the sound of live string music and a fashion illustrator creating beautiful watercolour keepsakes of each couple and family. The celebration continued with a vibrant lion dance, filling the Club with energy, colour, and joyful movement to start the reception.
