Silver Sage Stables Wedding, Vernon, BC – Ross & Meagan

What a love-filled, fantastic day! I clicked with Meagan and Ross as soon as I met them. Their warm hearts really shine through and they’re so easy and fun to be around. They chose Silver Sage Stables in Coldstream, BC for their wedding. I had been itching to do a wedding at Silver Sage Stables, as it’s an awesome new venue in the Okanagan, so I was pretty excited! The ceremony is held in an expansive wheat field and the reception in a barn. Definitely my kind of wedding! To top it all off, we started in Sicamous, where the couple lives, and got to do photos on a beautiful farm complete with a classic red barn. Meagan brought her horse, wearing a romantic flower crown, along for photos and they had a classic pink Cadillac as well. I was in photo heaven to say the least. ; )

The ceremony was beautiful, held in a light embrace by wheat all around them. Their speeches were so incredibly touching with laughs in all the right spots. It really was a perfect day. I couldn’t be happier for Ross and Meagan.

I hope you enjoy a peek at their lovely day. It was sure difficult narrowing down photos for their blog post. I wanted to post all of them. haha. Thank you to the fantastic Katie Nugent for second-shooting for me!

The First Look. Always a touching moment. These two definitely made me tear up.Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0001 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0002 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0003 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0004 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0005 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0006 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0007 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0008 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0009 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0010 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0011 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0012 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0013 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0014 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0015 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0016 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0017 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0018 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0019 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0020 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0021 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0022 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0023 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0024 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0025 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0026 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0027 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0028 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0029 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0030 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0031 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0032 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0034 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0035 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0036 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0037 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0038 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0039 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0040 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0041 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0042 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0043 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0044 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0045Shot below by my second shooter, Katie Nugent. : )Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0046Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0049 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0048 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0051 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0052 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0053 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0054 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0055 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0056 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0057 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0058 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0059 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0060 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0061 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0062 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0063 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0064 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0065 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0066 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0067 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0068 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0069 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0070 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0071 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0072 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0073 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0074 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0075 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0076 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0077 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0078 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0079 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0080 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0081 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0084 Silver_Sage_Stables_wedding_0089R&M_0819R&M_08321

Kelowna Portrait Session – Niluka

I met Niluka last November at a yoga and surf camp in Costa Rica and we instantly clicked! She has a vibrant personality and is so chill to be around. I loved meeting another independent female traveler around my age and I definitely want to do a trip with her in the future! She got a chance to come visit me last week before heading to Hawaii for a little getaway and it was such a nice little interlude in my busy wedding season. She took the opportunity to do a mini photo shoot with me to celebrate this great time in her life and she was a stunning subject to say the least. Melissa Craven did a beautiful job on her hair and makeup. Fun times!

Sparkling Hill Resort, Vernon, BC Wedding – Tasso & Matt

I had a ridiculously fun time with Tasso and Matt, photographing their big day. They chose the stunning Sparkling Hill Resort in Vernon, BC for their wedding. I love the mix of modern and rustic in their intimate Gernot room. It was the perfect space and Classic Creations artistically decked out the room in her beautiful floral arrangements. I also love the cool cake that Sweet On You Cakes made!

Tasso and Matt are such a fun, laid back pair. Tasso had me laughing so much with his awesome dry sense of humour. I love that they were so inclusive with their dogs. Their puppy bow-ties were so cute. It was such a wonderful, light-hearted day. I’m so happy for these two.

After the wedding, Tasso wrote me such a sweet message that really warmed my heart: “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We loved working with you. I’ve never felt so comfortable with a photographer. It felt more like we were with a close friend! We lucked out having you!!” Awwww, ditto guys. : ) xo
