Kat & Manos | Okanagan Anniversary Session

KCL — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 04:41:00 +0000

Ever since I ventured up the mountains around Kelowna, I have been obsessed with shooting there! Three years ago when my cousin and her husband were getting married, I envisioned taking photos of them overlooking the city in magical golden hour light. However on their wedding day in 2017, wildfire smoke filled the air, so we decided to use a different location. This year, they decided to move out of the Okanagan Valley. I had no intention of letting them leave Kelowna without taking these photos.

We brought some drinks for a long-overdue celebration, on the mountain top. Cheers to their three year anniversary, Kat’s recent graduation, and to their new adventure in Alberta. The sky definitely delivered!

I truly believe to capture a beautiful photo, you have to be doing something fun. Let your true self show in the photos and going on an adventure always helps!

Mikael & Kristine | Backyard Elopement Wedding

KCL — Tue, 05 Jan 2021 04:46:10 +0000

It’s always extra special to document and capture elopements. They feel so personal which helps me get to know the family and create magic. So many people have had to cancel, reschedule or alter their wedding plans greatly in the past year, no exception for these two. When Mikael contacted me to shoot their plan C wedding and I was thrilled! I love it when the groom gets involved with wedding planning.

Even though Mikael & Kristine had to adjust their wedding plans TWICE, they opted to officially get married this year to start their journey together. A handful of friends and family even joined in during a live Zoom stream.

Thanks so much for choosing me to capture your special day. I am so thrilled we did photos with your bikes!

Dakota & Erick | Okanagan Fall Couples Session

KCL — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 09:16:28 +0000

One of the biggest compliments is when past clients and fellow photographers refer their friends to me!!! I was nervous meeting Dakota and Erik, as we had already rescheduled twice because of the weather, and I was worried it was going to happen again. LUCKILY, the weather played nice, and did it ever play nice! About halfway through our shoot the clouds parted and gave us such incredible light!

This was one of my favourite shoots this fall! I had an absolute blast capturing these two and all their quirky love for one another.

Amanda & Braden | Knox Mountain Engagement Session

KCL — Sun, 29 Sep 2019 05:07:28 +0000

Last summer I met the the most adorable little family!

Amanda and Braden brought the whole family for their shoot, including their dogs, and I couldn’t have been more thrilled! Knox mountain is one of my favorite spots to shoot in the downtown area. Mountain and city views and dog friendly, it never disappoints!

I adored meeting these two and could’ve photographed them forever!

Amanda & Adam | UBC Kelowna Wedding

KCL — Tue, 09 Feb 2016 21:38:22 +0000

Amanda & Adam booked their wedding photography with me while living in a different province. That means, our first meeting was there engagement photos at the end of August, check them out here. After meeting them for the engagement photos, I knew their wedding was going to be a lot of fun.

Amanda and Adam decided the best place for them to get married was the place they met and had their first dates! *swoon* How cute is that?! So their wedding ceremony was held at UBC in Kelowna in the main courtyard by the fountain. As the ceremony was approaching, so did the rain. With a last minute adjustment the ceremony began.

Words cannot describe how classically beautiful Amanda looked amongst the fall colours. Of course, Adam was looking handsome as well. The rain allowed us to take some very cool photos inside the Fipke building. Finally the rain let up and we ventured out to take advantage of the fall colours surrounding the courtyard.

I showed up to the reception, Ellison Hall, and was blown away by the party that went down! From the shoe game, to a photo booth, to the photo booth props hitting the dance floor…. everyone was there to have fun!

This was my last wedding of the year and it was the perfect way to end a year. Amazing couple, gorgeous fall colours and a super fun reception!

Once Adam had signed the papers and was officially married to Amanda, he was one happy man. I absolutely love this photo!
These next three photos were taken by my second shooter Chelsea. I absolutely love them!
Adam’s sisters had the best speech! Complete with props from his childhood! Hands down, best speech to date!
