Kelowna Wedding Photographer | Kreative Beginnings Photography

Hello, I'm Kristine

I’ve been photographing beautiful stories in the Okanagan for over 10 years now!

I’m a wedding & lifestyle photographer. I’ve captured the joyful events of people’s lives for over 10 years now, creating experiences in front of the camera that are stress-free, fun, and authentic.

Based in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, my clients have an endless selection of charming orchards, exclusive wineries, and secluded beaches to choose from as the backdrop to their wedding pictures and family portraits. Kelowna and its surrounding communities offer some of BC’s most magical wedding destinations!

ENGAGEMENTS

Engagement photos are a fun way for us to get to know each other before your big day. These sessions are great practice to help you get comfortable in front of the camera. Trust me, you will feel comfortable before it's over. Engagement photos are a gorgeous addition to your wedding website and are great added pieces to the design of your wedding day.

WEDDINGS

Wedding photos make your big day timeless. I create beautiful memories of you just being ‘you’ on your wedding day, while helping to create a 'FUN' atmosphere where you don’t feel rushed or stressed and can just focus on each other. I shoot with a combo of traditional and candid posing, while capturing all the moments of your wedding day.

FAMILY

I work with families to capture the character and authenticity of their family story by creating a fun, stress-free atmosphere. I work to calm nerves in front of the camera and connect with the people I'm photographing. Whether it’s maternity shots, newborn photography, or family portraits—you get natural, candid images that tell a story of lives well-lived.

WEDDING & ELOPEMENT REVIEWS

I cannot say enough good things about Kristine! She has been my go to photographer for 5+ years through multiple businesses, and most recently our engagement and wedding. Not only are her photos and talent incredible but she is so lovely to work with and makes you feel your best in front of the camera. Kristine was a huge help navigating through COVID wedding planning and made the whole experience extremely positive. I am positive that you will not find a better person to capture your special day!

Nick & Emily

Kristine is absolutely awesome – very friendly, relaxed and positive! We reached out to her after finding her online – she was warm, knowledgeable and made great suggestions for capturing our day. She went above and beyond – always in communication with us and flexible as our plans adapted to accommodate changing restrictions. Kristine was one of the family for our day, capturing super special moments with our grandmother and siblings but also candid moments between everyone. We love how comfortable she made us feel in front of the camera. She even stayed a little later in order to capture our first dance! Her care and excitement added so much to our big day. We are beyond happy with our photos. Thank you Kristine!

You won’t regret it!
My husband and I had this wonderful, talented lady capture our wedding this past July. After finding her portfolio online and a few (very helpful) messages back and forth, we decided to meet with Kristine for coffee before we made our final decision. She was so lovely and well-organized at that meeting; we knew immediately that she was our one 🙂
Included in the package we chose was a complimentary engagement shoot, which was a perfect opportunity to experience her personality and style, and to dispel any worries about being in front of the camera all day.
Come the big day, Kristine was everything we needed her to be: she gently commanded our large and somewhat rowdy bridal crew, getting hundreds of photos with her second camera-person at a variety of locations before heading to the ceremony, where you hardly noticed they were there, they blended so well. She got a ton of amazing photos of the day, of our family, of the reception and dancing, and a bunch of candid shots of our guests.
We are so thrilled with how our photos of the day turned out, and would recommend Kristine without hesitation. 100%!

We recently hired Kristine to do our wedding photography and I am so happy we did! Kristine did a great job of making us feel comfortable during all of our photos, even though we are naturally very awkward in pictures. These were by far the best photos we have ever had taken of us and Kristine did such an amazing job capturing the emotion and feeling of the day. We have a dog who was part of our wedding and normally refuses to sit still during pictures or look at a camera but Kristine managed to capture many great shots with her. We decided to do engagement photos as well and I am really happy we did as it helped reduce a lot of the anxiety around pictures the day of the wedding. Overall I would highly recommend Kreative Beginnings to anyone who is looking for beautiful photos that you will want to look back on for years to come!

I recently hired Kristine for my engagement photos at Quails’ Gate Winery. Our experience was amazing! She worked with me to be certain we would capture the perfect moment, while being discrete to ensure we didn’t tip off my to-be fiance. She is great at communicating, easy to work with, and captured some beautiful photos. Could not speak more highly of her service – would highly recommend her business!

Dave & Bella

Choosing your wedding photographer can be very overwhelming. I picked Kristine to do my wedding based on the information I got on Google (her website and online reviews) it just felt right to choose her amongst the gazillions of other options online and recommendations.. and I’m glad I did! I’m more than happy with the over all experience of working with her from the engagement to the wedding. She was very easy and fun to work with and she made us feel comfortable smiling and posing on the camera for hours. The pictures were all beautiful. Wonderful moments captured and I’ll forever treasure! Highly recommended!

Alex & Nevyas

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Kristine was such a pleasure to work with during this very exciting milestone of ours! She captured the most beautiful photos during our engagement session and our photos from our wedding…we are going to need a much bigger photo album because they are all so incredible! Not only is Kristine extremely talented, she is such a joy to work with. She is so friendly and has such a warm personality. Even though we are from out of town, we would definitely consider using her again for future milestones.
