I absolutely fell in love with the wedding venue Gatzke Orchard in Oyama, BC this past year. It has so much rustic charm and beauty everywhere you turn. The ceremony is held in their beautiful orchard, then cocktail hour starts nearby under a gorgeous grape arbour tunnel before moving to a lovely open lawn (with string lights overhead for dancing later) for lawn games and the rest of cocktail hour. The intimate and unique mood is set for dinner under another awesome grape arbour. Eeee I love Gatzke Orchard so much and want to photograph a million more weddings there. I was so happy that the ambient light under the dinner grape arbour was great for me to shoot natural light for dinner and speeches as well. Yippee!

The bride, Kristen’s amazing taste combined with The Blushing Pear really showed throughout the day. The florals created by Classic Creations added so much beauty and atmosphere to each space and I was in love with the gorgeous bouquet she created for Kristen. Impressions Weddings saw to the coordination of the day at Gatzke Orchard and kept everything running on track and DJ Alex Bird supplied fantastic auditory atmosphere to the mix.

Kristen looked stunning in her Nicole Miller dress with chic make-up done by Jenny Mickinney and elegant hair by Inspirado Designs. I’m so happy for Kristen and Devin that their wedding at Gatzke Orchard turned out as beautifully as it did. Everywhere I turned there were people laughing and smiling. So much joy surrounding this lovely pair!
