WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGES STARTING AT $3600

Perfect wedding photos make your day timeless. Fifty years from now, you’ll look back and relive the hope, love, laughter, and joy forever reflected on the faces of your family and closest friends. My style is more natural, capturing the best of who you are. It’s posing with a candid feel.
Each package comes with a complementary engagement session. Engagement photos are a fun way to get to know each other before your wedding day and get comfortable in front of the camera. It also provides an opportunity to review shots or angles you like or don’t like, making sure we capture exactly what you’re looking for. The pics you love make great personalized wedding invitations and can be used as part of your wedding day décor.
Your finished photos will be sent fully edited and print-ready, available digitally through an online gallery that you can easily download approx. 8 weeks after your wedding date. The number of images you receive is dependent on your package. I do not limit the number of images, usually you will receive about 600-800 images for an 8 hour day of coverage.

MY PROCESS

1.

Lets meet up!

For a fun experience and authentic images, we need to be a good fit. We’ll meet, get to know each other, and discuss what is important to you on your wedding day. I can walk you through my processes and give you tips to get the most out of your wedding day photography. I’ll ask a lot of questions because I want to ensure that my photos are precisely what you’re looking for. It’s your day and your experience—both should be incredible!

2.

Secure your date.

On average, couples are booking wedding photography services 12-18 months before their wedding date.

Not going to lie, Okanagan weddings book up fast! The most popular wedding months for are May, July and September. Our picturesque lake, sandy beaches, expansive vineyards, and charming orchards are too good to pass up. Once you know that you’d like to work with me, we’ll need to secure your date. It’s easy! All I require is a 30% deposit, and a signed contract and the fun begins!

3.

The engagement session.

All of my wedding photography packages come with a complimentary engagement session; it’s like a practice run before the real thing! Engagement photography sessions are also a great way to get rid of any nerves you might have about being in front of the camera. My goal is to make you feel entirely yourself and comfortable in your skin. After the session, you’ll have beautiful engagement photos for your wedding website, invitations, or to share with family and friends.

4.

The bridal questionnaire.

I reach out a few months before your wedding date to finalize all the wedding details with you. The easiest way of doing this is by sending you a bridal questionnaire. A quick digital form to fill out that will help finalize timelines and all the details to make your wedding day run smoothly.

5.

The big day!

The day you’ve been planning and patiently waiting for is finally here! Today is all about you, and my job is to help you enjoy every moment while capturing every detail and the best of you and your loved ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I receive a sneak peak gallery?

Yes, you will receive a sneak peak gallery within 2 weeks of your wedding

How many images do I get back from my wedding day? Are all the images edited? Are they high resolution?

Images you will receive from your wedding day depend on how many hours you would like me there. A full day of capturing usually produces 600-800 images. All images you receive are edited and high resolution.

How are files sent?

Wedding photography photo files are sent digitally through an online gallery.

What is your turnaround for receiving images?

Up to 8 weeks to receive a beautiful gallery of the images from your wedding day!

How far should we book in advance?

Kelowna / Okanagan is a popular wedding destination so dates tend to book up quite quickly. I recommend you book 12-18 months in advance.

How much time should we schedule for photos between the ceremony and reception?

Ideally it is great to have at least 2 hours between the wedding ceremony and reception. this gives you about 30 minutes for family photos on site, following the wedding ceremony and about 1.5 hours for bridal party and bride and groom portraits on or off location. Depending on the location we discuss for photos, it is good to keep travel time in mind as well. I can help you with a timeline to maximize your time for photos.

Do you add your watermark to our wedding photos?

No, I will never send your finished photos with my watermark on them. These photos are personalized to you.

Blake & Sarah

Absolutely thrilled with the work Kristine did for our engagement and wedding photos! From our first consultation, she made us feel comfortable and truly understood our vision. She has a remarkable talent for capturing candid moments, and her creativity shines through in every shot. On our wedding day, Kristine was professional yet approachable, blending seamlessly into the background while still managing to capture all the important moments. Her attention to detail and ability to highlight the emotions of the day resulted in breathtaking photos that we will cherish forever. The editing and quality of the images were outstanding, and we received so many compliments from our family and friends. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend Kristine to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated photographer. She truly has a gift for capturing love stories!

Nathan & Laura

Kristine is incredibly talented and has an eye for detail. She took both my engagement pictures and wedding day photos. She guided us on how to pose which allowed us to feel comfortable and confident. She’s so easy going and organized, she helped me create the perfect timeline for the wedding which ensured we had extra buffer time and more than enough time for all the pictures. I didn’t feel rushed and felt at ease in her hands. All our guests were gushing over how wonderful she was and the photos speak for themselves. She delivered our photos earlier than expected and they turned out better than I could have ever imagined.

Megan & Tyler

Kristine photographed our engagement and wedding, and we could not have been more impressed! She is professional yet easy going and so encouraging, she helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera (even though we can be camera-shy), she was adaptable on the day of the wedding, she helped us get all the shots we wanted, and all the photos turned out amazing! She also sent us sneak peaks just a day or two after the wedding and the full gallery less than a month after! We highly recommend Kristine for your photography needs 🙂

Alex & Carly

Choosing Kristine as our wedding and engagement photographer made our wedding unforgettable. She was kind, communicative and flexible throughout the entire wedding planning process. Kristine made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and helped us choose great locations for the engagement and first look photos. She has very reasonably priced packages, and we had the option of adding a second photographer for part of the day, which helped to capture friends and family’s reactions at the ceremony. We are in love with all the photos and were very impressed with how quickly we received them. My partner and I highly recommend Kreative Beginnings to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Brock & Anissa

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%!

Lindsay & Andrew

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!

Josh & Natalya

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.
