Rikki+Andrew

Rikki + Andrew from Grand Prairie, AB couldn't have lucked out any more for their destination wedding at Spirit Ridge Vineyard Resort & Spa in Osoyoos, BC. As Jon and I drove down we dealt with thundering black velvet skies and non-stop rain. However, when we arrived the clouds opened up and blue sky peaked through. A gorgeous day for a gorgeous couple at one of our favourite places to photograph weddings.

Rikki wore a beautiful Maggie Sottero wedding gown








Love this shot of Andrew waiting for the ceremony


The flower girl






Married!




Spirit Ridge has so many amazing places for photographs. We could have photographed all night if we were able to!

Don't they look great together!

Although they had to move their reception from the outdoor patio to inside due to more thunderstorm threats, they still had a beautiful wedding day. Congratulations guys!

Keisha+Corey

What a fun couple! We had a blast photographing Keisha, Corey and their fabulous wedding party in downtown Kelowna. Keisha and Corey wanted a low key yet super fun wedding day. They married at the Belgo Wedding Chapel and later boarded the Okanagan Princess Houseboat where they had a great evening of music, food and dancing.

The guys right before the ceremony

Although it stormed the week leading up to their wedding, they lucked out with beautiful weather






Jon took this great artistic shot of the two of them




I had a little fun with Keisha and grabbed a few cool shots in front of this cobalt blue wall.








Love this shot of a couple up on the dance floor


Stunning!


Their first dance was so great, the sky came alive







Thanks guys for letting us document your wedding day. Congratulations!

Michelle+Curt

The first time they met was at a wedding when both moms were pregnant with both Curt and Michelle. They grew up worlds apart, Michelle in Egypt and Curt in Kelowna. But it was when Curt spotted a picture of Michelle up on his aunts fridge did he say "I'm going to marry that girl." They were 14. He wrote her an email and said "wouldn't it be weird if we got married?" They've been in each others lives ever since!

It was only fitting that they married by the Pyramid at Summerhill Winery, after all it is second only to the great pyramid of Egypt for precision and alignment. We had such a great day with the two of them and their family. The love, friendship and kindness was evident in not only the two of them, but in everyone around them.




Michelle was absolutely radiant!


Getting help from her bridesmaids


Michelle's mom put on her pearl necklace while her sister put in her pearl earrings. Unfortunately she dropped them down her dress and had to fish them back out!


Their "first look". We love this idea of the bride and groom meeting up prior to the ceremony for an intimate moment before heading down the aisle.




A stunning bridal portrait




Michelle is absolutely beautiful


And the handsome Curt










Love this moment between the two of them


We had to capture some fun shots of the two of them in the vineyard!






All the girls gathered together right before the ceremony. I love this shot Jon took of Michelle with her mom and sister


Curt's mom


Tim, Michelle's brother walked her down the aisle




Michelle and Curt married as the sun set behind the mountain. I love the sunshine beaming through their photographs.




Married!

The Egyptian Princess... need I say more.

We were truly honoured to be apart of your day. Thanks for being so much fun!
