A Beautiful Asian Wedding at Deane House: The Love Story of Kristine and Francine


Kristine and Francine, a couple from Edmonton, are proof that love knows no cultural boundaries. Francine, originally from the Philippines, and Kristine, of Chinese descent, decided to celebrate their wedding in a way that honoured both of their backgrounds. Their intimate wedding at Deane House was a perfect blend of their unique cultural traditions and modern elegance, creating a truly unforgettable day.


Deane House – A Venue That Captures the Heart


Deane House is a charming venue that effortlessly combines historical beauty with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The cozy fireplaces, elegant decor, and picturesque garden provide the perfect backdrop for a wedding that feels both personal and timeless. For Kristine and Francine, Deane House became a canvas for their cultural expression, turning it into a space that felt like a home away from home for their closest friends and family.


Couple’s Wedding Story


Kristine and Francine's wedding was a beautiful reflection of both Filipino and Chinese traditions. Francine wore a traditional Barong Tagalog, the iconic Filipino garment, while Kristine chose a stunning modern qipao, a traditional Chinese dress that added a touch of heritage to their celebration. The couple's wedding ceremony was an intimate affair, surrounded by only their nearest and dearest, and filled with personal touches that told their love story.

Their choice to keep the wedding small and intimate was a decision that reflected their values as a couple. Instead of focusing on a large-scale celebration, they wanted to create a moment of true connection with their loved ones. Every detail, from the floral arrangements to the menu, was carefully curated to honour both of their heritages while keeping the atmosphere warm and inviting.


A Heartfelt Conclusion


Kristine and Francine's wedding at Deane House was more than just a union of two people; it was a celebration of two cultures coming together in love and respect. Their intimate wedding reminded us that sometimes the most meaningful moments are the ones shared with those closest to us. Whether through a traditional ceremony or a modern celebration, the most important thing is that the couple’s love shines through, and for Kristine and Francine, it certainly did. If you're dreaming of an intimate, culturally rich wedding, Deane House offers the perfect setting to bring your vision to life, just as it did for Kristine and Francine.

Wedding photography goes beyond what I do professionally. It is something close to my heart and every wedding is personal. Over the years, I’ve formed strong bonds with my couples and gradually realized that the closeness and warmth I’ve experienced with them is my passion for documenting weddings.
