This summer we have had the treat of shooting a number of weddings away from home.  In August we headed out on a two week road trip and right in the middle of it we got to spend a beautifully stormy Okanagan day with Katie and Tyson at Paddle Wheel Park in Vernon BC.  When we were scouting locations a few days before the wedding we were a bit worried about the weather because it was so so hot.  I fear I have really become an Islander now as I don’t enjoy the searing heat quite as much as I did when I used to live in it!  The morning of the wedding we became a bit more concerned about the wind, rain, and potential thunder and lightening than hot sunshine!  The weather ended up being perfect as the breeze kept us cool and the skies gave us beautiful cloudy textures and the rain waited until just before the reception.  Tyson and Katie found us through his sister Shani who we have had the great pleasure of working with before.  It was so much fun to reconnect with Shani and her family and to make new friends in Tyson and Katie.  Tyson is really into fly fishing so there were fly hooks in the boutonnieres and a fishing bride cake topper snagging her groom.  Tyson and Katie received a lot of help from friends and family as they live in Ontario and planned the wedding from afar. Shani and her friends did a lot of the decorating, which resulted in one of the prettiest ceremony setups that we have seen, and the evening ended with Tyson and Katie dancing to a live trumpet performance by Katie’s brother Dan. Thanks so much to Shani for recommending us for this day and to Tyson and Katie for being so much fun.  Here are some of our favourites from the day and all the best wishes to you both!! E&A

While we were in Kelowna for Danya and Aaron’s wedding we also spent a whole bunch of time with some great little people and their parents for some family sessions.This session with Pabby, Oriole and their three lovely girlies was special for us as I have the treat of being called Auntie Emmy as these three girls are the best friends of my three little nieces!! We met up with them one morning in late September at park  in Kelowna to get some soft morning light in the almost autumn grass.  Aaron and I have been digging the low sunlight in meadows look lately.  We had such a great time trying to keep up to little Myah who is always on the go, catching sweet Charlotte when she wasn’t too bashful, and listening to Camille who always has the funniest things to say and of course found a little ladybug to take care of.  Thanks for a great morning with a beautiful family!!  We will have more family posts from our Kelowna sessions soon!

We are in Kelowna for a week of photo work.  We were super excited for Dennis and Jen’s wedding shoot at the Ornamental Gardens in Summerland, BC.  The property has so many options, heritage buildings, old sheds, tall grass… and a Kettle Vallery Railway trestle!!! I actually jumped up and down like a kid with a present when we scouted the location.  It was hot and sunny but these two were so fun and  were great about letting us be creative in an old shed and the trestle. Here is a preview of Dennis and Jen’s photos. Congrats
