Kelowna Wedding Photographer – Guisachan House – Riannon & Jon

The Guisachan House in Kelowna is SUCH a gem. It’s just adorable, the grounds are STUNNING, and the food…. RIDICULOUS. I can’t even tell you how good their tomato soup is!

I feel fortunate being a Kelowna Wedding Photographer because I get to meet wonderful people from all over Canada and Beyond. Riannon and Jon are from Vancouver and decided to have their intimate wedding at the Guisachan House in Kelowna. Riannon was stunning in her blush custom made gown by Coco Melody!

Riannon is one of those super-women that every woman NEEDS in their life. She’s beautiful, intelligent, uplifting, kind… (I could list every positive adjective in the world right here). Jon is handsome, intelligent, caring, and a wee bit quiet (right, Jon?) I don’t know how I’ve gotten so lucky to have the best clients in all the land. These two have become friends for life and I couldn’t be happier about that!

Penticton Wedding Photographer – God’s Mountain Estate – Nils & Erin

September 14

Erin & Nils got married at beautiful God’s Mountain Estate. Although I am a Kelowna Wedding Photographer, I was fortunate enough to travel to Epenticton to photograph their wedding at this stunning venue. The property, the backdrop, the views… just incredible. God’s Mountain is hands-down one of my absolute favourite wedding venues in the Okanagan. So book your wedding there (and then call me!!!).

Speaking of favourites… Erin & Nils are one of my favourite couples of ALL TIME. Yeah, I said it. Don’t get me wrong… I love all of my clients. Every single couple I have photographed this year has been beyond fantastic. Buuuut… sometimes in life, you come across people in your professional life, that you wish you could somehow integrate into your family life and keep them forever. Erin and Nils are one of those couples for me.

Being able to be a part of their wedding, spending time with their friends and families… the day was unbelievable!

Please lay your eyes on these two gorgeous beings and leave them some love!

Erin & Nils – thank you a million times over for including me in your lives and your wedding day. Wonderful people such as yourselves make me absolutely certain that I am doing exactly what I should be. It is a privilege to know you and to provide you with these images. I hope you enjoy reliving your wedding day as much (and more!) as I have!

Kelowna Wedding Photographer – Cedar Creek Winery – Brittany & Dave

December 4

Brittany and Dave’s wedding day was full of sunshine and… wind. Lots of wind. On the bright side, I love wind in images because it adds movement and prettiness! Being a Kelowna Wedding Photographer means that I get to experience some of the loveliest views that the Okanagan has to offer – including the view from Cedar Creek Winery.

Brittany and Dave had the cutest little ring bearer who decided it would be best to take a break on the steps just after he began his walk down the aisle. It was adorable to say the least and he make it to Dave with a little help (and some gummy bears).

It was a beautiful day for a wedding and Brittany, Dave and their friends and family were a ton of fun to spend the day with. And I don’t think I’ve attended a wedding where more men were into physical affection and kisses. You’ll see what I mean… have a look!

Lastly – A HUGE thank you to my amazing second photographer, Kaila, who took some pretty incredible portraits and is always the best kind of person to be around!

Kelowna Wedding Photographer – Tower Ranch – Melissa & Andrew

Kelowna Wedding Photographer – 50th Parallel Estate Winery – Adam & Alannah

November 11

One of the best things about being a Kelowna wedding photographer is that I get to go to wineries. Lots of wineries. Lots of wine. Even better is that I get to go to amazing wineries like 50th Parallel Estate Winery, nearly every weekend (jealous?). The view is incredible! Just incredible!

Alannah and her ladies prepared themselves for the wedding by drinking champagne and juice with fresh berries at Sparkling Hill. No big deal. The guys got ready in a villa at Predator Ridge. No big deal.

The two met at 50th Parallel Estate Winery for their first look with their wedding party peeking from above on the stomp pad. The ceremony took place overlooking the Okanagan Lake and the rain in the distance. After the ceremony, they were driven away in a 1960’s white Cadillac.

My absolute favourite part of the day was Adam & Alannah’s first dance. If you know me, you know I am a big softie and a family gal. The two danced to a recorded version of a song, sung by Alannah’s late grandfather. There weren’t many dry eyes, including my own!

The truth is, there are so many amazing details about this wedding, that you’ll just have to go ahead and take a peek at this blog post. Make yourself a tea, coffee, or grab a glass of wine and enjoy!

Kelowna Wedding Photographer – Benvoulin Heritage Church – Gabriella & Andrew

October 29

Gabriella and Andrew are a sweet young couple who are so in love. They chose The Bevoulin Heritage Church for their ceremony location. Gabriella wore her mother’s own wedding dress, tailored by Andrew’s mother to suit her perfectly.

The Benvoulin Heritage Church is one of my absolute favourite wedding ceremony locations in the Okanagan. I love everything about it from the wood, to the sound of floorboards, to the smell.

Everything was perfect for Gabriella and Andrew’s wedding. The florals from Petal and Vow were some of the most stunning florals I’ve ever seen! The Burgundy, green, and blush colours were such a breath of fresh air!

There was no stress, lots of tears, lots of snuggles, lots of laughs. The weather co-operated. When it got windy, Andrew and Gabriella just embraced it! Everything was beautiful!

Take a look and see!

Osoyoos Wedding Photographer – The Watermark – Amarjit & John

October 23

This wedding is a special one for me. Whether intended or not, there was a theme to this wedding and it was a theme that involved all things that are the most important to me. Love, family, and friends who are family.

From the first day we spoke, I knew that Amarjit and John would be a couple I would fall in love with. I knew the their wedding would be one to stand out in my mind for a long, long time. Not because of the decor, the venue, the food (all of which were incredible, by the way!), or any other detail, but because they made me feel like a member of their family.

Speaking of decor, Amarjit designed every aspect of her wedding and made the decor herself, with the help of friends and family. Which is unbelievable and she should really consider a career change 🙂

It was no surprise to me that Amarjit and John comprised their wedding party of their children, nieces and nephews. Their ceremony was set up so that their guests surrounded them, conveying a sense of love and inclusion. A wedding is traditionally symbolic of two families uniting, becoming one big family. Their wedding reflected that their families had already become one, long before their wedding day and that each person in attendance was an important part of their family.

Amarjit and John – I hope you know how truly important your family is to me. How special it was for me to photograph your wedding and provide you with memories that you can look back on for a lifetime. Your family is beautiful and special, in a way that I can’t put into words. Thank you for everything <3
