Did you know in most cases in the Okanagan, you need to get married at the winery you want to take pictures at? One of the best perks of a vineyard wedding is the endless beautiful photo locations without having to drive for a location.

{9 years married}

I know it’s tomorrow, kind of. I forget every single year.

Marriage is hard. It’s the best thing in the world, but it’s hard. It’s hard to stay connected through pregnancies, lost pregnancies, new borns, lack of sleep, screaming toddlers, entrepreneurship, buying houses, renovations, endless projects, global pandemics. Marriage is an effort you have to consciously choose.

And yet he makes me coffee every single morning, he packs me a phone charger and makes sure I have a full water bottle for every wedding, he looks up from whatever he’s doing whenever I come home from a haircut or bought something new, he still acknowledges every Thursday as date day for the last 9 years even if it’s just getting a Starbucks or putting work away early to have wine in bed, he supports every decision I’ve ever made to grow my business even when I don’t believe in myself, he’s endlessly kind when he’s just as burnt out or tired as I am, often more. There’s so many opportunities in a day to grow with someone and grow away from them- and for 9 years he’s always chosen to grow with me. And of all things I love about Royce, that has to be what I appreciate most.

To many, many, many more years. ✨

That’s a wrap on 2022. Officially ready for Fall.

Our next wedding is February and it’s going to be sooo whimsical and fun. And then we’re full on for 2023. I have a handful of dates left for 2023. ✨

Marni & Adam’s Wedding Day So much love and so

Marni & Adam’s Wedding Day

So much love and so many details. A surprise from the groom to have the ceremony painted in real time. A candy bar, photo booth, postcard guest book, wine tasting flights of their favorite wines from California (where they live), late night poutine, tickleberries ice cream cart and cotton candy, a live band, custom stamped ice for their signature drinks, flip flops for dancing, a 80’ reception tent and separate catering tent, and not one but two different wineries on the Naramata bench. Logistically massive and uniquely special in every way. What a day.

Checking every box before we load up for tomorrows

Checking every box before we load up for tomorrows rough set. Outdoor weddings that require every last item to be brought in and moving 135 guests from ceremony to reception at different wineries on a single lane road for the shuttles is a fete. It has to be super calculated so it’s been full on to get this ready to go!
