Carmen+Curtis

They have known each other since they were little, both taking the same school bus to Glenmore Elementary. It wasn't until years later (after graduating high school) when they ran into one another did they see each other in a different light. After Curtis proposed on a trip to Harrison Hot Springs they decided it would be a romantic place to get married, so that's exactly what they did! Two days, and two dresses later they celebrated in Kelowna on the breathtaking lakefront property where Curtis grew up.

Carmen thought every little detail through with the help of Terri Rosenau a wedding event planner originally from Vancouver and now relocated to Kelowna. From their personalized monogram to the beautiful lime green lanterns purchased by Carmen while traveling in Vietnam, everywhere you turned there was something new, special and exciting!

The thick dense trees created an absolutely stunning backdrop




Married!


Love the excitement after the ceremony of Curtis's parents


Back in Kelowna, Carmen and her bridesmaids got ready for the second reception in a beautiful suite at the Eldorado Hotel, one of our favourite places for getting ready shots


Stunning bouquet






Carmen and her sisters


Curtis and his brothers


We had some time to do some gorgeous bridal shots of Carmen, isn't she absolutely beautiful




And the handsome Curtis


Curtis was all fun and games and not too interested in the picture process, but we promised Carmen and his mom that we'd get some good ones. I think they turned out great.

Entering the reception/dinner area and seeing it all decorated for the first time


Avalon Event Rentals did an amazing job putting up this clear roof tent. It covered the tennis court creating a cozy and sophisticated dinner area. Again look at all those details!






As the sun set everything in the tent illuminated creating a romantic place for a tasty meal catered by the Eldorado Hotel




Thanks guys for having us be a part of your beautiful wedding days!

The Forsberg Family

What a great family! This session was a ton of fun because the five of them were up for anything! We scheduled their session when we knew we'd get the most beautiful light. This allowed us to not only capture this great looking family but the natural beauty of the Okanagan.

Jerel, Brett, Chelsey, Kirsten and Karen


Love this moment we caught of them walking down the mountain, isn't the sky and rock just amazing


They never stopped laughing with each other




Such a great shot of Karen and Jerel






The light was amazing in this grass, we love how each strand of grass glows










Thanks for allowing us the opportunity to capture some family memories that will last a lifetime!

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!




One of my favourite bride+groom shots




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!
