Carmin & Cameron – Evolve Cellars wedding, Summerland, BC

Carmin and Cameron’s was the first wedding I had the opportunity to photograph at Evolve Cellars winery (formerly known as Bonitas Winery at the time of this wedding) in Summerland, BC and I was totally blown away by what a gorgeous wedding venue it is! Wow! I was so inspired and took way too many photos. haha. Carmin and Cameron are such a fun couple and you can tell they put so much of themselves into planning their day. There were so many handmade details and personal touches, from the wine box made by Cameron’s dad, to Carmin’s garter, veil and earrings made by Cameron’s stepmom. Carmin worked so hard planning the big day and it completely paid off. She was also smart to stop at planning and leave the set-up and day-of coordination to the very talented Rachel and her team at Radiant Events. I was so impressed with the efficiency and dedication these guys displayed, while still being an upbeat and fun presence on the day.

I thought it was so cool, too, that Carmin and Cameron took a helicopter from their second photo location back to Evolve Cellars! In a surprise change of events, I got to go up with them and it was such a fun ride! When we arrived back at Evolve Cellars all their guests were waving enthusiastically from the reception area and their wedding party met us at the landing spot.

The outdoor reception was so lovely and it was beautiful having the sky slowly changing colour in the background of their photos as the night progressed.

 The ring in Carmin’s bouquet is her Dad’s wedding ring. It was such a sweet way to have him close to her on her wedding day as he is no longer with us.Summerland_wedding_0004 Summerland_wedding_0005 Summerland_wedding_0006 Summerland_wedding_0007 Summerland_wedding_0008 Summerland_wedding_0009 Summerland_wedding_0010 Summerland_wedding_0011 Summerland_wedding_0012 Summerland_wedding_0013First Look!

    Beautiful wedding! I’m considering Evolve Cellars for my wedding. Could you email me your thoughts and put me in touch with the couple so I could ask them some questions? Thank you!
