Brittany and Tom Kelowna Winter engagement


Brittany and Tom got engaged in November of 2018. Tom was so excited when he picked up her beautiful ring from the jeweler that he proposed a few hours later in their home. Talk about adorable!💗

 The two met and fell in love in Vancouver BC and have been together for over three years. I’ve had the privilege of knowing them throughout that time and have watched their love grow, which is why I am even more excited for their wedding!


Brittany and Tom wanted their engagement photographs taken over the Holidays while they were in Kelowna so we went to Gyro beach so that they could have the iconic Okanagan lake as their backdrop.

It was snowing and terribly cold. I’m amazed we got so many picture in less than 20 minutes! When we got to the beach the snow flakes started to get bigger and the wind started to pick up, making everything much colder. As you can see, we brought their favourite wine to the beach. As the weather progressed we quickly captured them sipping on their wine.

Near the end, we started to use the red blanket more to shelter them from the cold, which ended up being the perfect prop. Getting hilarious pictures of Tom running back to the vehicle to escape the cold. The cold was a fun challenge and made for these unique engagement pictures. 

Special shout out to my sister, Amanda (who also happens to be Brittany’s best friend), because she ran around and carried all the things. She almost lost my umbrella to the wind and oncoming traffic, but we’ll let that go 😂

You can expect to see more pictures of these two!  The loves birds are getting married in the extremely photoesque town of WHISTLER, BC at Nita Lake Lodge. Talk about a perfect wedding! Brittany has great style too so I can’t even imagine how beautiful everything will be. Spoiler alert - it’s an autumn wedding with touches of burgundy, greenery and more!  I’m overly excited to be photographing their wedding - it’s going to be EPIC! 

I am honestly also just excited to see the beautiful, brilliant Brittany walk down the aisle and marry her love, and I can’t wait to celebrate with their amazing families.

 Brittany’s basically a member of my family (My sisters best friend). She’s like another sister to me. We’ve travelled together ( Nicaragua, Praha, Warsaw, Tofino), she’s met our family in Poland, she’s at our house every Christmas Eve, has saved me from a hilarious moment in Vancouver, hosted me and family in her home,  and countless other things. She’s an exceptional person who deserves all the joy and happiness. 

I can’t wait to see what the future brings them and how they will spend the rest of their beautiful lives together 💗 

Who’s ready for this EPIC wedding?! 

Jazzy and Steven's Engagement Shoot

My first engagement session

I'll never forget my first engagement session. I was so nervous. My first engagement session clients were Jazzy and Steven. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to photograph their engagement and wedding in 2014. They found my photography through the University of British Columbia Facebook page.  I was extremely excited to photograph my first wedding with them! 

 

These engagement photographs were taken near sunset at Bertram park in south Kelowna. Bertram is a fantastic location for a photoshoot. Many different background options to choose from! Aren't they just such a beautiful and stunning couple?! I wish them a life time of happiness, health and love!

 

Colourful Portraits with my Mother

A few days ago I photographed a children's birthday party in Kelowna. At the event there were these beautiful massive balloons. I asked the parents (my clients)  if I could take some balloons home, and they said I could!  The event ended late, I stuffed the balloons into my car. You can only imagine how silly I looked driving with a car stuffed with pink baloons! Anyways, as it was late, I decided to spend the night at my mothers house nearby.

My mother was also mesmerized by these balloons! I wanted to use the balloons as soon as possible. I decided it would be a great idea to take photographs of my mother with the balloons in the morning. 

In the morning my mother put on her favourite dress and we went to her pergola in her backyard.  The photos turned out great - I absolutely love them. When my mother looked at the pictures she was amazed at herself. I'am glad my pictures can reflect her inner and outer beauty. I had a lot of fun with these portraits !
