VanDusen Botanical Garden Wedding Photographer & Videographer in Vancouver
Hey! We’re The Augusts — VanDusen wedding photographers and filmmakers.
There’s something about a wedding at VanDusen Botanical Garden that feels completely transportive — like you’ve stepped into a different world without ever leaving the city.
Tucked in the heart of Vancouver, the gardens offer a rare balance of structure and wildness — curated landscapes, quiet pathways, and soft, shifting light that make it one of the most beautiful wedding venues in British Columbia.
This VanDusen Botanical Garden wedding including the ceremony and reception at Shaughnessy Restaurant was captured across digital and 35mm film — documenting the day in a way that feels both editorial and deeply personal.
A VanDusen Wedding Captured on Film & Digital
This day unfolded slowly and intentionally — the kind of wedding where nothing feels rushed.
We documented it across multiple formats:
Digital photography for clarity and depth
35mm film for texture and emotion
Motion picture for nostalgia and timelessness
The result is a collection of images and film that doesn’t just show how the day looked — but how it felt.
VanDusen’s natural movement, light, and textures make it one of the best venues in Vancouver. Check out more photos and videos from this wedding here and see what couples are saying about their experience working with The Augusts.
