Nancy & Jason | The Cove Lakeside Resort | West Kelowna BC | Wedding Photographer
July 21st, 2018 by jenniferNancy & Jason were the sweetest couple and their elderly pooch named “Diamond” walked down the aisle to make sure these two were happily joined under the arch at The Cove Lakeside Resort. It was a beautiful Okanagan summer day and one of their loving family members took Diamond for the ceremony to keep her in the shade.
Nancy wore designer Badgley Mischka peep toe wedding shoes (Gillian Ankle Strap Evening Shoe) that were just to die for! An amazing arrangement of pink peonies, O’hara garden roses (my favorite), and white dahlias made up her gorgeous bouquet.
Both the ceremony and reception were held at The Cove (a great wedding venue in West Kelowna). The Cove is a great option in the Okanagan that combines a lot of services for wedding ceremonies, receptions and hotel accommodation for wedding guests.
All the best to Nancy, Jason, and Diamond!
Note from the bride:
“We just looked at the pictures and we love them!
The USB packaging is so very cute too.
Thanks again to you and Jake for taking such beautiful photos of our wedding.”

Kasi & Wilson | Sanctuary Gardens | Kelowna BC | Wedding Photographer
April 2nd, 2017 by jenniferSanctuary Gardens is perfect anytime of the year, but August is sunny, warm, and bright. It is truly a perfect location for your summer wedding. If your day turns a little gray fear not, because with the new addition of the “Rose Room” Sanctuary Gardens has you covered in any weather condition the Okanagan can throw at you.
I am so blessed to be a photographer that has access to such great Kelowna wedding venues. Every time my husband and I photograph up at Sanctuary Garens we look at each other and say “let’s get married again – it’s so beautiful here!”.
My bride Kasi & her groom Wilson were as sweet as they come. Wilson was so attentative towards Kasi and I knew from the moment I met them to do their engagement photos that they were meant to be.
The bride chose the perfect tule and lace dress from David’s Bridal, finished with a personal pink silk ribbon that matched the bridesmaid dresses. I also adored that she wore her grandmother’s pearls and matching bracelets for her girls.
It’s no secret at this point that I love animals, so I was super excited to here that sweet, shy little Meeka (a beautiful Keeshond) was to walk down the aisle and stand witness to her loving owners vows!
Dinner and dancing was held at the Cove in West Kelowna. The party was bumpin, the cake was delicious and the speeches were heartfelt. A lone Charmeleon even popped by and made everyone who was playing Pokemon Go yell with joy.
It was a perfect, fairytale wedding!

Mandy & Pavan | Gods Mountain Estate | Penticton | Fine Art Film Pre Wedding Photographer
July 24th, 2022 by jenniferLove has a way of transforming ordinary moments into magical memories. For one lucky couple, their pre-wedding photoshoot at God’s Mountain in Penticton, BC, became an enchanting journey filled with love and breathtaking scenery. With the bride’s sister, a talented makeup artist, making sure she was flawless throughout the photo session, and the groom donning a dashing blue tuxedo, this couple’s pre-wedding photoshoot was a dream brought to life.
Set against a backdrop that evokes the romance of Greece, their story is one that captures the essence of love and beauty.
God’s Mountain is truly a paradise on Earth.
Nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of Penticton, BC, God’s Mountain offers an idyllic setting reminiscent of the enchanting wedding venues in Greece. The stunning panoramic views of mountains and crystal-clear waters transport visitors to a world of romance and beauty. The couple’s choice of this ethereal location set the stage for a truly remarkable pre-wedding photoshoot.
There are so many fantastic photo locations it was hard to choose just one, so we tried to get them all! Vineyard, staircase, lake mountain views, apple trees, and old world charm. I was in a photographer’s heaven.
As the bride’s beauty took center stage with one of my favorite wedding dresses to date, the groom was not to be outdone. Dressed in a dashing blue tuxedo, he exuded sophistication and charm. The blue hue of his attire harmonized perfectly with the azure skies and shimmering waters of God’s Mountain, adding a touch of brilliance to their fairytale-like photographs.

The Tori Wesszer & Jillian Harris | Sanctuary Gardens | Baby Shower
October 27th, 2017 by jenniferI have been lucky enough to find myself living in one of the most beautiful places in Canada, photographing some of the sweetest people you could ever hope to meet – and this event had a LOT of wonderful people.
One of those wonderful people was Yuriko, she runs Vintage Origami – a styling company here in Kelowna BC. The outrageously talented Yuriko was inspired by a classic French farmers market and she executed it with grace. Honestly one of my favorite themes as I love everything French. From gingham napkins to custom brush lettered calligraphy, Vintage Origami brought together a perfect baby shower for Max.
I was so fortunate to cover the photo booth for Tori’s baby shower as I got to meet her & her sweet family. Her cousin Jillian is definitely as sweet as they come, she hosted this beautifully decorated event all the while ready to pop at any time!
Kind-hearted Tori was simply glowing with pride as she held new little Max. Have a look over at Jillian’s blog to see all of the amazing photos that Daniel Han was able to capture!
The event was catered by CrAsians food truck, paired with Jillian’s mouthwatering secret lavender lemonade and wine from Sandhill Wineries.

ABOUT | Jennifer Hodder Photography – Kelowna & Okanagan Destination Fine Art Film Wedding Photographers – Wedding | Elopement | Engagement | Boudoir| Lifestyle
April 30th, 2017 by jenniferAbout Jennifer Hodder
When I get asked why I started doing wedding, engagement, family & lifestyle photography I always start off by telling them a little bit of my design background. I loved connecting with people and helping them design something that fit their brand and who they were as a individuals. Everyone always said that I had a knack for seeing what people were about, and being able to bring that to light in design was my gift. The move toward photography was me really just wanting to do more of that, but with an elegant timeless media.
It really all began with love. When my husband and I got married I fell in love with the idea of helping other brides on their wedding days feel the way I felt. You wouldn’t think that someone who isn’t a fan of having her photo taken would jump at the idea of being a photographer; but It was when I got my wedding photos back and saw how beautiful the light was, how I smiled at my husband that I knew I wanted to share that feeling with others. My approach to taking photos stems from that very moment, I make sure to place you in the most flattering light, and give you opportunities to show me that special glimmer that the two of you share so I can capture it. I blend fine art photography and candid photo journalistic styles to capture your wedding day. Storytelling with real emotion is key to having a great wedding album that will last generations. Have a look at my Heirloom Albums to see how your day can be beautifully hand bounded with care.
These are the following events & occasions I cover:
Wedding & Engagement Photography, Boudoir, Maternity & lifestyle photos, Newborn in Studio Sets & Cake Smashes.

Soft, romantic & timeless fine art photography with candid emotion
One of my fondest memories of planning my wedding was the day before the big event, standing in my kitchen. My husband-to-be and I had just picked up all of the flowers for the wedding that still needed to be arranged. Every square inch of counter space, was overflowing with roses, hydrangeas and peonies – it made the house smell amazing! It even made my fiancé laugh and say “wow it smells great in here – we should have this many flowers in here all the time!” hence why I have flowers in my logo – to have flowers around all the time.
I am a sucker for a great hot drink. I personally think that Starbucks should have a “customer of the month” plaque because I would definitely be a contender, especially in the fall with the Pumpkin Spice Latte. However it might be a better idea to keep my addiction under wraps….but really how can you resist a warm hug from a frothy taste of heaven? I also have an entire cupboard dedicated to tea… but I won’t embarrass myself by going into it.
My most recent passion project has been the inclusion of film into my workflow. It’s exciting incorporating a format that seems to bring new life to the photos I take. Film photography has to be taken slower and for that reason the photos become more of a painting, a perfect moment with meaning and intention. Light is captured differently and photos seam more alive, its hard to explain so you will just have to have a look at my gallery to see.

Courtney & Alex | Cedar Creek Winery | Kelowna BC | Engagement Photographer
October 8th, 2016 by jenniferCourtney and I had the pleasure of working together in the past when I was still a graphic designer for a local Kelowna company. She was always a ray of sunshine and although we both no longer work together I was so excited when she contacted me and asked me to be her wedding photographer!
The engagement photo session took place at Cedar Creek Estate Winery. Fall was setting in and Mother Nature gifted us with some cloud coverage that gave us the perfect even lighting us photographers lust after. Deer came grazing through the vines behind Courtney and Alex to photobomb the session quickly before making their way through the vineyard. Courtney wore an elegant black dress with heels while Alex wore a dapper black suit. I love when my couples get really dressy for photoshoots! The couple purchased a bottle of the Cedar Creek’s amazing Gewurztraminer wine and shared a toast for their many years to come. Love these two!

Meagan & Brian Proposal Story | Knox Mountain | Kelowna BC | Engagement Photographer
June 12th, 2016 by jenniferI live for a good love story. I get the all caps LOVE kind of feeling for the journey that my couples go through before I meet them. So when Meagan & Brian told me their story I think I actually squealed with joy over how adorable it was.
How They Met
It all started with a Christmas party and a coworker in need. Meagan is a registered nurse (pretty much Wonder Woman) and one of her fellow co-workers wanted to find someone to accompany her boyfriend’s friend to a firefighters Christmas party. There was no way that she was going to pass up the opportunity to hang out with a bunch of firefighters! So her co-worker sent this mystery man Meagan’s number. One text lead to another… one lunch date and a Christmas party later they were engaged just shy of a year to the date.
How He Asked
Brian decided to take Meagan and their adorable little puggle ‘Abby’ up to Silver Star Mountain after a fresh snowfall. Little did Meagan know that Brian had purchased a new collar and tag that read “will you marry me?”. Meagan held Abby to look at her new tag and with the softly falling snow and lights overhead Brian went on one knee and asked the question with a stunning emerald cut halo diamond engagement ring.
A true fairy tale engagement proposal! How can you not grin from ear to ear after hearing about their beginning?
I was so immensely touched that they chose me to photograph their engagement session and cover the wedding photography in September. Watching this couple grow and having them choose me to capture all their family milestones has been a highlight of my photography career. I am truly honored to be able to capture these amazing mile marker moments.
