    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.  ReplyCancel

    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. ReplyCancel

Vernon Photographer

Posted in Weddings

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…
