Summerland Waterfront Resort Wedding | Caitlin & Craig

Caitlin & Craig’s wedding at Summerland Waterfront Resort was beautiful! I loved their choices in colors and flower arrangements. Being my first time at this resort, my impressions were awesome! What a wonderful staff to work with and the perfect destination wedding location for a Summerland wedding. The rooms were stunning, perfect views out to the lake. The ceremony was right on the beach with a grass area where the guests sat.

Following the ceremony we headed to the Summerland gardens with the bride and groom and their wedding party. Summerland gardens is such a pretty spot for summer weddings, everything is so green and in full bloom.

We headed back to the Resort for the reception, held in their beautiful ballroom and finished off the night with entertainment and dancing.

Ryan & Katherine’s Wedding at Sanctuary Gardens, West Kelowna

Ryan and Katherine were such a sweet couple to photograph. I met them about a year before their wedding when I photographed their engagement session by the lake in Oyama. These two are naturals in front of the camera, allowing for perfect photo opportunities. Their personalities compliment each other so well and it comes off clearly in the photographs.

Their ceremony took place at Sanctuary Gardens in West Kelowna. A stunning location for a smaller more intimate wedding with a beautiful view of Okanagan Lake.

Following the ceremony, we continued to the Gellatly Nut Farm just down the street. The Nut Farm is great for its variety of locations that include: beachfront, a forest of nut trees, and old heritage buildings.

We finished off the day at 19 Okanagan Bar & Grill with food, dancing, and entertainment by Okanagan Wedding Entertainment Group.

Terrie’s Story

I am so happy to have met Terrie and to be able to do this photo shoot for her. Read her inspiring story below…

‘I am a 57 years old, retired from a high stress job two years ago and moved here from the Vancouver Island to the beautiful Okanagan, my Dream Retirement Place.  Having come off of a very stressful job, and now living in a nice home, relaxing and enjoying the great outdoors, I was expecting to begin to feel better. But, I was not feeling better, even after one year of living here. In fact, I was feeling worse and could not figure out why. I was gaining weight even though I was eating healthy and being more active. I was diagnosed as having low iron levels and began to take mega-iron, but this was not helping with my overall wellness. It took a naturopath to diagnose me as having Stage 3 Adrenal Fatigue and very low progesterone. My naturopath also recommended that I supplement my meal plan with more protein and suggested that I drink protein shakes as a meal replacement. I found Almased protein powder, which was recommended to me by my naturopath,  to be the most delicious protein powder of the several that I tried,  and knowing that it is Non-GMO , contains the right amount of protein for me, along with soy, honey, yogurt and many valuable nutrients, I began my path to wellness.  I weighed in at 188 pounds on March 15 2015, the day I started on my path to wellness, and on the day of the photo shoot with Kristine, July 23 2015, I weighed in at 153 pounds!  I was thrilled when Kristine called me to let me know that Almased had contacted her to take photos of the New Me! Thanks to Almased I feel fabulous! And, many thanks to Kristine who was able to capture my renewed happiness and wellness in her amazing photography!  I feel great and look forward to my next photo session with Kristine. Thank you, Kristine for having an excellent ‘eye’ and taking such pretty pictures. They inspire me to keep going!’

Angelene & Cody’s Salmon Arm Wedding

My sister, Angelene and her now husband, Cody have been on my website a few times, a fall session, proposal, and engagement session. When Angelene (my sister) and Cody got engaged, they approached me with a crazy challenge, asking if I could be Angelene’s maid of honor in the wedding and also be their photographer. Honestly I couldn’t choose one job over the other if I had to anyways so I said YES. The wedding day went smoothly…. and so beautiful!! With help from my amazing assistant Alecia, we managed to capture everything Angelene & Cody had hoped for. My favorite part was putting together a dining set in the woods. Here is a glimpse into their day…Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0340 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0342 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0341 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0343 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0344 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0348 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0351 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0350 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0349 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0347 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0346 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0345 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0353 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0354 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0355 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0356 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0357 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0358 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0359 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0360 Angelene & Cody's Salmon Arm Wedding Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0362 Angelene & Cody's Salmon Arm Wedding Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0364 Angelene & Cody's Salmon Arm Wedding Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0366 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0367 Angelene & Cody's Salmon Arm Wedding Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0369 Angelene & Cody's Salmon Arm Wedding Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0371 Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0372 Angelene & Cody's Salmon Arm Wedding Kelowna Wedding Photographer_0374 Angelene & Cody's Salmon Arm Wedding
