MORE THAN PHOTOGRAPHY

Capturing stories that live on forever...

I'm not just your Okanagan-Similkameen wedding, elopement and lifestyle photographer, I'm also someone who is truly invested in YOU and making sure you get to enjoy every bit of your session, while still capturing every detail. My goal, first and foremost, is to make you feel comfortable and at ease. Forget about the stiff poses and forced smiles - for me it's all about connection and finding those unscripted moments and turning them into big memories for you.

WEDDINGS & ELOPEMENTS

This is your big day! Whether you’re eloping as a couple or hosting a massive celebration I want to be there with you! My goal as your intimate wedding and elopement photographer is to focus on capturing your story while making sure that your day reflects the authenticity of you as a couple. I want each image to help you relive those emotions, making you say, “That’s exactly how I remember it”, on your wedding day.

FAMILY & LIFESTYLE

These moments pass by too fast, so let the camera stop time for you. See the laughter on their faces, dirt on their toes and the beautiful mess that is real life. Sit back, relax, have some fun. Let your kids be kids and I will capture the magical moments.

Let's celebrate your love and have some fun while doing it. This session is all about you and your partner, doing activities that are meaningful to you as a couple. I promise not to pose you but to guide you in capturing your perfect story.

    Nicki & Jordan

    I seriously dont’ have the words to describe how amazing Kirst is at her job! From the moment I met her I knew we had made the right choice in who would capture our day. She went so above and beyond to make sure she got every shot that we had talked about and many more. She has such a gift for capturing the moments between loved ones that are not posed but make you feel like you are right back in that moment. Kirsten was seriously one of the best decisions we made and you should just stop reading this and book her right now!

She makes the whole process so effortless & natural - and the photos are incredible. She is beyond talented, but also helps make the whole experience so comfortable & enjoyable. Thank you for capturing our family in such a special way 🤍

    Kirsten was absolutely amazing to work with. I am staring at my wedding photos right now in complete awe of the magic that is captured. It's such a special and monumental day in your life- and Kristen captured the love, happiness, and candid moments in such a remarkable way. I cannot recommend Kirsten and her team enough.

    Thank you, Kirsten, for all your hard work on documenting such a special day in our lives, we are very grateful.
