Discovering Hidden Gems: A Solo Adventure at Shangri La Gardens for an Intimate Wedding.

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of photographing Micaela and Brad’s intimate wedding at the enchanting Shangri La Gardens in Maple Ridge. As a wedding photographer, there’s a special thrill in uncovering these hidden gems—those cute, unique venues that provide the perfect backdrop for a couple’s big day. Shangri La Gardens was a fun discovery.


Micaela and Brad reached out to us with their request. They wanted a quiet, intimate celebration with just one photographer. We chatted about how we could create a custom package to fit their needs, and before I knew it, I was set to capture their special moments in just two hours.


The wedding ceremony was heartfelt and beautiful, set against the lush greenery and tranquil ambiance of Shangri La Gardens. Micaela also enjoyed a few DIY projects for this wedding but the one that really stood out was this piece of embroidery she had learned just for her wedding. The piece of art was holding the two wedding bands and was outstandingly beautiful. After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed lawn games, adding a touch of playful fun to the day. Meanwhile, I whisked Micaela and Brad away for a few portraits around the gardens.


Creating memories in such a picturesque and intimate setting was a truly rewarding experience. Here’s to more hidden gems, more intimate celebrations, and more love stories waiting to be told!
