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!!

Let's freeze this moment in time, together

Kate Paterson | Vancouver BC Wedding Photographer

Solo sessions hit different. It’s not just about Solo sessions hit different.
It’s not just about the photos—it’s the feeling you walk away with.
Like, yeah… I really am that girl🔥🔥
You’ve shared years, built a home, raised little You’ve shared years, built a home, raised little humans… but how often do you pause and document just the two of you?

No matching outfits needed.
No elaborate plans.
Just connection, quiet, closeness.

Because this part of your story matters too:
🤍 The way you still make each other laugh
🤍 The way your hand naturally finds theirs
🤍 The way time has deepened—not dulled—your love

These aren’t “just couple photos.”
They’re a love letter to the life you’ve created, together.

There’s a kind of beauty in motherhood that can’t be posed.

It just is
The ceremony is done, the joy is overflowing… an The ceremony is done, the joy is overflowing… and then it’s your aisle exit. This moment is pure magic—but have you thought about how you’ll move through it?

Here are 3 simple ways to make it your own:

💫 The Kiss, Dip, or Twirl – Some couples share a sweet kiss, others dip or twirl partway down the aisle. It’s spontaneous joy with just enough intention to make it photo-ready.

🌸 Add Some Movement – Petal tosses, confetti, or bubbles from your guests bring color, playfulness, and a feeling of celebration. They also look stunning in photos.

🫶 Just Be You – Laugh, cry, high-five, skip, or simply walk hand in hand. You don’t have to plan every step—just trust the joy of the moment and I’ll take care of capturing the magic.

Your aisle exit is one of the happiest little chapters of your wedding day. Let’s make it feel as joyful as it truly is.
