A true elopement, just a beautiful bride and her handsome groom. You could instantly tell that these two were in love, and I am so lucky to have been able to share such an intimate moment with them.

I’m so honored that Kelly and Brian chose me to capture this quaint Okanagan elopement at the Summerhill Winery in Kelowna BC. This was the first elopement that I have been lucky enough to photograph, and I must say it was amazing. Those of you that know me are aware that I love all of the details, tablescapes, and floral arrangements of a typical wedding. I love families coming together to celebrate all the wonderful couples I photograph, the dancing, the music, all of it. As special as those big days can be, it’s refreshing to be a part of something…simpler. When you boil it down, all you really need is your partner, your marriage license, and your two closest friends. Love doesn’t always require a huge reception for all your relatives, or the months of planning leading up to it. Kelly and Brian love each other, and that’s all they needed on their special day.

Summer Hill Winery in Kelowna is always a great location to photograph. It’s been a hugely successful wedding venue for many years and it’s easy to see why. It’s very accommodating for ceremonies of all sizes, the food is always great, and there are countless spots to get some really amazing photographs.

Kelly and Brian were an amazing and lovely couple. I’m thankful to have been a part of their big day and wish them all the best!

“I had Jennifer photograph for my wedding and I cannot say enough to how above and beyond she went for us. We battled with covid throwing wrenches in our plans, resulting in planning a whole new wedding in a different town, and she was the calm we needed through it all. Through family drama, rain, and smoke, she did it with a smile and made everyone comfortable whether that was making us laugh or being patient when needed. We never felt stressed with going over time or missing certain shots as she kept telling me to just enjoy the day and she will do the rest. In fact, she even helped with a major part of the decorations just out of her love for creativity (she hand wrote my table place cards and stamped them with wax!!). Everyone was talking about how great she was!

We cannot thank her enough for what she gave us for our special day – acting calm and professional, helping us cherish all the special moments, and providing us with the most beautiful photos. If I could give more stars I would. Thank you Jennifer, you really put your all into your clients in more than just the photos – it truly is an experience.”

“Jennifer and her husband Jake captured our special day and our engagement session. I am beyond happy with every single photo we received. Her attention to detail blew me away. I had guests complementing her during and after the wedding. She made us and our guests feel special and important. Thanks again for an amazing job!”

“Jennifer is amazing! We LOVED how all of our photos turned out! She is very passionate about her work, easy to talk to, and very professional! I highly recommend her if you are in the market for a photographer.”

“We had Jennifer photograph our wedding in June of 2016 and I’m so happy with all the beautiful photos we received! She accommodated the rain so well and we got some great shots of the wedding party with umbrellas! We got many wonderful family shots that I’m going cherish for years to come. I’m going to have a hard time picking just a couple photos to frame!”

– Kirsty McRae
Powers Creek Retreat, West Kelowna, BC Canada

“My Wife and I decided to have Jennifer be out photographer for our wedding and she did excellent work for us. She was very professional, she wanted a list of important photos. When she showed up she got right to it, she was easy to deal with the entire time and she ended up staying quite a bit longer than anticipated because our schedule was late. At the end of the day she had really gone that extra mile to make sure she had gotten all the pictures we specified were important to us, and not only that, they were good pictures. We are very happy with the work she did for us and would definitely hire her or recommend her in a heartbeat. Thank you so much, your photos will be cherished and displayed for our lifetime of marriage.”

– Tim
Salmon Arm, BC Canada

“Jennifer’s service went well above and beyond. She was courteous, professional, and very patient will all of us. Jennifer was able to get some amazing priceless photos that we will cherish forever.
The price of her service was very reasonable; she could be charging a lot more for her quality of work. I would highly recommend her for any occasion.”

– Tami
Kelowna, BC Canada

“I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! Not only did our pictures turn out beautifully but Jennifer made me feel more at ease on a very hectic day! The hardest decision I have to make now is narrowing down which photos to frame! Thank you again Jennifer!”

– Jaclyn & Marc
Kelowna, BC Canada

“I couldn’t be happier with the engagement/wedding photos that Jennifer took for us. She checked with us leading up to our wedding to make sure that she understood our preferences and if we had specific shots that we wanted. She captured so many candid moments throughout our wedding I was amazed when we got our pictures.”

– Jessica & Ryan
Vernon, BC Canada

“Jen has done quite a few of our family photos, most recently this October. Each experience has been great! We’re so happy with all of our pictures. She pays a lot of attention to fine details. We will Definitely be having her take our next family portraits!“

– Jesse, Michelle & Mack
Vernon, BC Canada

“Jennifer and Jake were great. Jennifer always responded promptly to my emails of inquiries and concerns, she made sure she included the photos/poses we wanted while also bringing us her professional input and ideas. Jennifer was very flexible and easy going on the day but also able to keep things moving along to make sure we were on time. We felt very comfortable with her and are very happy with our photos!”
