Radiant Bride in the Shade - Summerhill Pyramid Winery

Glowing bride after her wedding ceremony at Summerhill Pyramid Winery

After a scorching hot, amazingly beautiful ceremony, everyone needed a rest in the shade. So we headed down from the ceremony location to the shade of the heritage farm building at Summerhill Pyramid Winery. We took this opportunity to capture some candids of the wedding party and some casual portraits of the radiant bride relaxing on an adirondack chair. It was the perfect setting to cool down, enjoy a drink, and capture the pure joy that the bride was radiating.

As you may have noticed going through our site we are big fans of black and white photography. This is where we both fell in love with photography, working in the darkroom developing our own black and white film and prints. While we shoot entirely in digital now-a-days, we are always drawn back to creating stunning black and white imagery.

Amongst the Vines - Quail's Gate Winery Wedding Photography

Wedding couple in the vines at Quail's Gate Okanagan Estate Winery

One of the great draws to Kelowna and the Okanagan as a destination wedding location is the abundance of stunning wineries. If you love wine and are looking for great views, like the look of vineyards, and great food a winery might be the perfect fit (and they are always amazing for wedding photography of course!)

This shot was taken at Quails' Gate Winery where this couple was holding their reception. They had gotten married earlier in the day at a private residence on the water nearby the winery.

As we typically do we asked the couple to take a walk together and capture what happens. They choose the perfect spot to take a break with the light breaking through the row of vines.
