Mandy + Kelowna = Musical Magic

I got to photograph this beautiful woman two days in a row, first in her town then in mine!
I think from now on I'm going to lock my clients in my car during sessions...I think Mandy and I solved the worlds problems twice over, I even learned about guitar strings!
This lady isn't only a stunna, she's a very talented singer and guitar player! She plays locally and I'm pretty much convinced that we created her future CD cover!
She braved Mission Creek in mid September (spawning season), played in a freshly watered orchard and even came and met my beautiful ponies with me.
So early in the shoot busted a sandle... valuable lesson - always carry a spare, I however did not do this.. so my whole shoot with Mandy was done barefoot!
I'm really happy with our results and Mandy I am so happy that you were Kath's friend prior to being mine!

Thank you for your support and feedback, I look forward to many many more shoots with you and your beautiful family!

Mandy + Adam = Lyrical Love

Meet Mandy and Adam...
Now meet Callaway and Peanut, together they make a fantastic perfect little family.
I got to travel a little bit south of Kelowna to beautiful Summerland where Adam and Mandy were my personal tour guide!
I swear the best photo shoots are the road trip ones, where we drive until we find something we like. In this case it was an orchard, a barn, some cool stacked old trees and the top of Giant's Head Mountain.
These two share some common ground, their love of music. Adam is a drummer in a band and Mandy is a "groupie" haha kidding... she's a singer! (We will be doing her promo photos tomorrow so stay tuned!)
I am guilty of really not knowing the valley I live in, however I got a beautiful preview of just how breath taking it is! Sometimes I take it for granted and sometimes I forget just how stunning this vast Okanagan Valley is.

Thank you Mandy and Adam for sharing your story with me, for choosing me and for creating "magic" with me. You two are wonderful people and the love you share is so very special.

Lyndsay + Lindsay = L Squared

How awesome are these crazies!
This is Lyndsay and Lindsay... they've been "best buds" for the better part of 20 years.
These guys were a blast, tons of giggles and really up for anything... did you know it's half way through September and they stood in mission creek... and even had a water fight!
We played in apple boxes and even dodged a few cars on what their photographer thought would be a quiet road (oopsie).
Did I mention these two are totally awesome and dressed up in HP costumes... That takes awesome to a whole new level.
Thanks for picking this photographer for your fantastic photo shoot!

Brent + Lindsey = 9.10.11 Awesomeness!

Well what do you know ... another fabulous amazing wonderful couple! From the get go I knew this would be a livewire wedding! The energy was hitting the rooftop and Linds was just PUMPED to be married!
Their ceremony too place at Summerhill winery, we stuck around for some family photos and a few portraits then zipped downtown where it all began! THE KEG - this was an awesome place to shoot and a somewhat personal touch for Brent and his beautiful bride. Their bridal party was equally as pumped to be apart of their amazing day (10 pretty excited people is an awesome thing to have by your side!)
We even got to incorporate the lovely DT Firehall (Thanks Firemen, you guys rocked), tied in to Lindsey's occupation of working in the fire safety industry.
All in all it was a pretty great day. You could tell by all that attended the wedding there was an abundance of love and support for this couple.
Lindsey and Brent - I can't thank you enough for choosing me to be apart of your special day!
I know you will have a long and happy life together!

Chris + Lindsey = Love Birds

How many times am I going to brag about my AWESOME clients!

Yup, they were another fantastic amazing fun great superb couple!
I knew from the moment we sat down for the consult this was going to be a match made in heaven (naturally I mean me + them!).
I adore these two, they are relaxed fun and SO INLOVE.
All my weddings have love, but I really do admire the love that has stood strong through the years and they choose to celebrate their love for one another by getting married (in this case, eight years later).
They said I do at the beautiful Sunset Ranch in Ellison! We then used an orchard for some of their formals (these guys were so focused on their love they chose not to have a bridal party!), after that we borrowed some friends horses and granted Linds her wish to have ponies in her photos!

I always laugh with my clients but these guys made me feel like I had known them all their lives. I am so lucky they chose me to capture their wedding.
Best part of all, I get to keep Lindsey in my life... she works at the SPCA where I volunteer! (YUP she's another animal lover)

I wish another 8 times 10 years of happiness!

Shalanne + Dag = From Russia - With LOVE

Every now and again I love to suprise my clients with free contests... this is the result of some hard lobbying and a lot of love!
These two fought it out to the bitter end of the contest to get their friends and loved ones to vote for their photo on Kay Photos FB page.
THEY WON and WOW am I happy they did!
Shalanne and I have known eachother since elementary school! We lost touch for a bit but somehow like with most childhood friends it just doesn't matter! She was also my lovely angel in our Alter Ego Shoot last winter!
These two are outgoing, full of laughter and totally in love! It took a little coaxing to get Dag to warm up to the shutter, but he got the hang of it!
They are both totally goofy and so sweet. Just such a great "vibe" from both of them, they are the couple you see on the street and either A) wish you were friends with or B) had their love!

I wish you all the love and happiness in the world you two!

OH on a side note - Dag is part of a KICK ass band - Check em out - Here in the Noise plays at the Grateful Fed downtown THIS Saturday night!
