As Wedding Photographers in the Okanagan, my beloved associate Kate and I have travelled to a lot of locations. This past weekend, it was my family and I driving to the small town of Lillooet B.C. (about a 3 hour drive from our home) to share in the beautiful ceremony between Kate and Simon. To…
As a Vernon Photographer for almost 20 years, there are certain venues and couples whose wedding I can’t wait to capture. This is one of those weddings! If you remember Joe and Amy from their Engagement Session a few months ago, they are the kind of couple who may not love being in front of…
Being a Vernon Photographer in the Okanagan Valley for almost 20 years, I can say there are only a handful of weddings where the weather was poor. That’s one of the reasons why this beautiful couple from Alberta chose Vernon and Predator Ridge Golf Resort as the perfect location for their beautiful wedding ceremony. Weather…
For Vernon Photographers, the weather in the Okanagan Valley can be very predictable in the summer. It is hot and dry. I think I have photographed only a handful of weddings where it rained on a wedding day and next year will be my 20th year as wedding photographer! But when your wedding gets a…
As a Kelowna Wedding Photographer, I was THRILLED when Victoria and Jace contacted me to see if I would be free to photograph their Keefer Lake Lodge wedding next summer. If you have seen some of my weddings from there, you know it is my absolute FAVOURITE venue and making the venue even more special…
OMG. What beautiful photos. Can’t wait to see you rest.
Marcia, the love your son and Kate share is so beautiful! Thank you for being such an important part of the celebrations. I can’t wait for you to see the rest!
Gorgeous photos! You’ve captured them beautifully (happy cry face). Was so nice to get to see you in action and your fun dynamic with Kate too.
Thank you for everything you did Gin on their big day! It was so lovely to see you again 🙂
Stunning photos, but then of course they would be. My sister, Alix, captured some amazing photos of Renee doing what she does best. Hoping Alix remembers to pass them along. The wedding was beautiful. Still get that happy lump in my throat thinking about it and seeing these images.
Oh I sure hope I get to see those Cat! That would be a lovely keepsake from such a memorable weekend! I get a lump in my throat too!!!
So so beautiful. These are amazing, you are amazing. It’s all really quite wonderful. I’m so glad to have finally met you.
The feeling is mutual Liz! So glad we got to meet
Congratulations Kate, so happy for you!!!! Renee, these photos are stunning as always, I love how you showcase our province while still making it all about the bride and groom!!!!
Lillooet was SO beautiful and such a wonderful backdrop to their love story
I loved this wedding. I am delighted in so many ways. It would take me a long time to adequately express all my thoughts. Kate and Simon have what most of us wanted…
Many thanks for all these great photos from René. It was lovely to finally meet you too, and meet all the others. And such wonderfull kids too. Running about having the best time also.
I am going to stop here. But the feelings will go on forever. MAH-WIDGE !
You brought so much joy and fun to the wedding Greg! Loved getting to know you more! I see where Kate gets her twinkle in her eye!
Such beautiful photos of what looks to have been a glorious day! The backdrop is stunning and you both look fantastic! Congratulations Kate and Simon!
Thanks Risa! It was a day to remember forever!
Amazing wedding, amazing people, and amazing photos! That was an incredible wedding and was so glad I got to be there. What a magical event!
It WAS magical. Glad you were there by my side hubby 😉
I first met Kate when her & Renee photographed our wedding in 2011. I knew right away that we would become life long friends & we have done just that! I am so happy for you Kate & wish you nothing but happiness and love! Thank you for being so kind and always being a light in everyone’s life. So happy for you both and I hope to see you again real soon ❤️
Your wedding still stands out as one of the most special we have photographed over the years!
So happy for you Kate!!! Congratulations to you and Simon What a breathtaking backdrop for your special day. These captures are stunning … I especially love the one on the stairs by the river! Did Renee have her gum boots on?!! lol
It was her sisters that knew of this magical little spot and it was so special to have them there too! As for the gum boots, long lens, perfect spot to stand on the shore 😉
It has been a week and a lot of beautiful emotions to allow to seep in and absorb into my soul. I have looked at this blog post 1000 times (slight exaggeration) and have to pinch myself that after all these years photographing 100s of weddings (not exaggerating) with you that I finally get what it is ALL about. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Renée, you are the hardest working wedding photographer I have ever come across, you are like the Energizer Bunny, you stop only to eat and then, it’s often only a few nibbles before you are back up and capturing moments in real time. I want all of your clients to know that you put more than time in, you put your heart and soul into capturing their treasured moments and the beauty of that is reflected in images you produce.
Love you my friend.
Oh what a wonderful story and how perfect you got to photograph her wedding!
These are so beautiful! How special for you to capture these!
