Nestled within the beautiful Okanagan overlooking Skaha Lake lies God's Mountain Estate, a stunning venue creating a setting as though you have travelled across the ocean without having to leave Canada. I had the pleasure of staying at the estate for a week, and though it was tough to be away from family, it was bittersweet when it was time to return home from my creatively recharging stay.
This beautiful rehearsal dinner table setting, styled by White Event Studio, was an homage to the stylist's Mexican heritage with its presence of terracotta, bright citrus-coloured florals, papayas, and mangoes.
Stunning flower arrangements from Celsia Floral married the colour scheme perfectly with the table setting. A perfect evening to dine al fresco with views of the Skaha Bluffs and Lake was a satisfying end to my stay with the most exquisite meal provided by Joy Road Catering.

I am honoured and deeply proud to share the images and video I created for Noon on the Moon at St. Chad's in Regina, Saskatchewan featuring their latest stunning collection of ethereal veils and bridal adornments.
I had the incredible pleasure of once again being asked to photograph the newest bridal collection for Noon on the Moon, and so when they approached me with their vision and a team of vendors, I suggested they send their collection to my sister, Tera, who ensured the day ran smoothly and that no item was missed (among many other things like steaming fabric and feeding the team), and I set out to bring it all to life (while 8 months pregnant)!
The venue was quite dark, and with shooting primarily on medium format film, I had to stay in and near pockets of sunlight daring to shoot in full sun creating beautifully dramatic images highlighting their incredibly sheer veils.
Being pregnant with my newest little girl, and then editing the images and video with her snuggled to my chest afterwards, engrains this time so beautifully in my memory as I had a sweet bit of magic close to me throughout. View the promotional video I created for this collection here.
