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!!

Manny + Aadila What if your “I do” moment fel Manny + Aadila

What if your “I do” moment felt like stepping into a real-life fairy tale?

Forget the grand ballroom and the pressure of a big guest list. Imagine a quiet, sun-drenched park, just the two of you, promising forever, this is exactly what Manny and Aadila chose for themselves.

Their intimate elopement wasn’t about doing less; it was about feeling more— more connection, more magic, and more of what truly matters. It’s a love story written just for them.
You don’t need a reason to be photographed. Not You don’t need a reason to be photographed.
 Not a birthday, not a milestone, not a ‘new chapter.’
 You’re reason enough—right here, right now
Ever seen a wedding photo and wondered, “Are the Ever seen a wedding photo and wondered, “Are they just naturally this photogenic?!” 🤩

Here’s a little secret: it’s not magic, it’s a perfect mix of authentic moments and intentional posing!

While I absolutely live for those unscripted, belly-laughing candids, the truth is, most couples need a little guidance to feel truly comfortable in front of the camera. That’s where posing comes in!

Posing isn’t about stiff, unnatural smiles. It’s about giving you gentle prompts and directions that help you connect with each other and look your absolute best. Think of it as a little secret language we’ll learn together! It helps create those stunning, magazine-worthy portraits while still making you feel like yourselves.

So yes, I’ll capture all the sweet, spontaneous moments, but I’ll also be your personal hype girl, helping you nail those timeless photos you’ll cherish forever.
