Summerhill Pyramid Winery Reception Dinner

Dreaming of Summer Reception

Wine, floral + greenery and a room filled with love, what more do you need? This beautiful wedding reception was photographed at Summerhill Winery, located in the heart of the Okanagan, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Overlooking Okanagan Lake, they celebrated their union with their loved ones. The decor was elegant, modern and minimalist - the pink + greenery pallet was stunning. While it was a smokey day in the Okanagan, we managed to get these stunning wedding reception photos. I wish these two a lifetime of happiness.

Amanda's Bachelorette party in Tofino

I journeyed to the magical canadian town of Tofino British Columbia on Vancouver Island  to celebrate my sister's bachelorette party. Let me preface this by saying – you have got to go to Tofino! 

I hope you enjoy seeing this west coast vibe bachelorette weekend <3

Home for the Weekend

Amanda knew she was going to Tofino for the weekend, but she had no idea that our plans were to stay in a luxury cabin right beside Tonquin park.  She was greeted at the door with a glass of wine (her fav) - I love looking at the pictures of Amanda entering the cabin and being amazed by our accommodations for the weekend.  

You would understand if you saw the view from the balcony, which  overlooked Feliece and Clayoquot island on the Pacific Ocean.  The balcony even had a hot tub. So naturally, on our first night there we watched the sunset from our balcony in the hot tub. First thing the next morning, while sitting inside having breakfast, we saw a Bald eagle fly by our window, and a baby seal in the water below!  

Tonquin Park

The entrance to Tonquin park was a two minute walk from our cabin.  The boardwalk to the beach is beautifully done. At some point we were able to see our cabin from the lookout point.  It was so stunning. The green enchanted forest.  Trees bigger than my arms. The moss covered landscape. Its the perfect pacific west cost destination. I felt compelled to do double exposure photographs of the group members, so I did! Beautiful ladies in nature, what more do you need! 

The Beach

Later we explored the town of Tofino, descending to Tofino Brewery Co. I decided to leave my camera home, so we used Amanda's Polaroid camera, and the pictures turned out great. To be honest,I actually regret not taking a photograph of all the polaroids on my camera! There must have been at least 60 polaroids, and they are hilarious!

The photographs from the weekend were picturesque so  I wanted to share my experience on my blog! I would love to share all the images from this trip, but some things should stay in Tofino ! I had a great time with my sister and her friends. I am humbled by the amazing, caring, loving friends my sister has in her life. From the coordinating to the polaroids, it was all perfect.  More importantly, we are all looking forward to Amanda's wedding in Victoria , British Columbia this May!

Thank you for reading my blog <3

Vicky and Patrick in Canmore Alberta.

 

Vicky Bunny Angel, a well-known cosplayer from Toronto,  traveled to the Rocky Mountains this past September for a week long trip with fellow cosplayers.  I was privileged to be one of the three photographers on this trip. Vikki's boyfriend, Patrick  from Tricky Love Photography, joined her on her adventure.  Their love for board games, and each other, is adorable.

 

When we were in the Rocky Mountains In Canmore, it did't feel right to not photograph them. I felt obligated to take photos of this beautiful couple! They have been together for three years and within those three years they have had three cosplay photoshoots together! I am happy to report, I am their first none cosplay photoshoot!
