Okanagan Wedding Photographer // Steph & Jeff

Upon repeated (at least 8 times today) viewings of the photos, I came to the realization that you guys have given us this very beautiful gift. You captured exactly what I remember about the day, the love, the laughs, the emotion. I love going through that slideshow. I see something new every time, and I’m brought right back to the day. My Dad, who never cries, says he was sitting at his desk at work weeping. That’s some good stuff right there!

Reading Stephanie’s email after her and Jeff’s wedding at God’s Mountain Estate in Penticton, British Columbia, was a revelation.

Her words affirmed what we deep down have known for a while already: The value in what we do is telling stories. Not in delivering 700 high resolution images in a gallery. How we edit the photos or what cameras we use makes no difference; the curated selection of images that make up the story of a wedding day is all that really matters.

That’s the “beautiful gift”.
