Dave + Leah Wedding || Okanagan BC

Dave + Leah’s Okanagan Wedding over looking Kalamalka Lake

This was one of the most anticipated weddings I’ve ever had the pleasure of being a part of. 
Leah and Dave have been together for 20 years and have two beautiful children together and like life has a way of doing, after Dave originally proposed to Leah, it continued to grow every single day and the wedding plans didn’t come to life until the last few years.

Dave told Leah, jokingly, that if they were to get married that she would need to propose to her. So when she decided that she wanted to make this vow to Dave she purchased a ring for him and proposed to him one morning. With tears in his eyes and his heart filled with emotion they made the commitment then and there to plan their perfect wedding!

So in front of their two children, friends and family, Dave and Leah married overlooking the Kalamalka lake in the Okanagan in one of the most touching ceremonies I’ve been able to be a part of. Leah thought of everything when it came to planning the perfect day, from a time capsual filled with a bottle of their favorite tequila and love notes to a family painting that the 4 of them painted together during their ceremony. It was truly amazing!!

🏔️✈️ Throwback to Janelle & Austin: Chasi 🏔️✈️ Throwback to Janelle & Austin: Chasing Sunsets at Alouette Lake
Sometimes a memory is just so beautiful, it deserves a replay. This one is for Janelle and Austin, who flew all the way up from California to celebrate their One Year Anniversary with a mountain adventure right here at Alouette Lake!

Why These Moments Are Timeless
This is the beauty of choosing intentionality and experience in your marriage. It wasn't just about taking pictures; it was about honoring the start of their legacy by creating a new, unforgettable milestone. The misty, quiet B.C. mountains were the perfect backdrop for their connection—a reminder that their love story is bigger than any single location.

Are you holding off on creating beautiful experiences because of distance or logistics? Don't wait! Investing in moments like this is investing directly into the core of your relationship. These images become your heirlooms, your proof that you chose adventure together, no matter the journey.

Thank you, Janelle and Austin, for letting me be part of this incredible chapter. Your decision to chase those B.C. views remains one of my favorite memories of intentional love!
Your wedding day is a masterpiece, and while the f Your wedding day is a masterpiece, and while the flowers and the dress are breathtaking, it's the quiet, timeless details that carry the weight of your history.

Can we talk about the heirloom pieces? 👇

The Real Story Behind the "Stuff"
For my couples, the details aren't just for show. They're tangible links to the past, little moments of legacy you can feel. I'm talking about:

The delicate heirloom jewelry—maybe worn by your grandmother or great-aunt—that makes you feel wrapped in generations of love. (A moment to pause, breathe, and connect.)

The family Bible, passed down for decades, signed on your wedding day—a reminder that your story is part of something much bigger.

Pain Point: Are you worried these meaningful details will be rushed or missed in the whirlwind? I promise you, they won't be.

My Promise to You
As your photographer, I don't just snap a picture of these items. I treat them with the reverence they deserve, knowing they represent your history and the start of your new legacy. I believe in capturing that quiet, timeless moment—the soft light on your rings, the gentle fold of a treasured page.

This is where your memories become more than just fleeting moments; they become heartfelt, tangible heirlooms for your own children someday.
So often, parents come into a family session think So often, parents come into a family session thinking it’s all about the kids — but I always love to take a few moments to focus on you two.

Because before there were little ones, there was your story — the foundation that everything else was built on.
