I first met Tyler & Kelsey a few weeks before their November wedding at a little coffee shop in Langley to discuss the details of their day! Hearing their plans for a wedding in Salmon Arm, right on the edge of Shuswap Lake, I was instantly excited. Having grown up in the beautiful Okanagan, I never shy away from the opportunity to be back home.

As I made my way over the Coquihalla down into Kelowna and then north, I was anxiously tracking the weather, hoping for a break in the rain, wind & cold we had been experiencing. Unfortunately, we didn’t get much of a reprieve from the rain, but Tyler and Kelsey were such troopers, they didn’t let it dampen their spirits at all. After a bit of a delay and mom-of-the-bride to the rescue, the rain held off long enough for Kelsey to walk down the isle to see Tyler. Despite the day not going quite as planned, the warmth & love these two showed towards each other made up for it tenfold. As I’m sure they will agree with me, it was so worth every second of getting soaked in the cold outside!

It was an absolute privilege to be able to share in the joy and celebration of your marriage with you Kelsey + Tyler, a big congratulations from the Meg Kristina Photography family!

Misty contacted me back in the spring about her summer 2016 wedding. We went for coffee and conversation quickly turned to planning out their engagement session. We decided on a fall session at a park her & Cole love to spend time at in Burnaby. This summer flew by and before I knew it, autumn was here. I’ve been looking forward to their engagement session since we first went for coffee and let me tell you, these two killed it!

Deer Lake Park is always a beautiful location, but this warm Sunday evening it looked absolutely magical. The flowers were still in bloom, the leaves all changing colours to beautiful yellows, reds & oranges, and the golden hour light filtered down through the trees; it was stunning. These two were so photogenic I still can’t get over it! It was so much fun to watch the way they interacted & laugh together. Cole made sure to keep things light hearted and fun, easily putting a smile on Misty’s face. You can see the way they care for each other & I am so excited for their wedding at Manning Park next summer!

I had a great time with you Misty + Cole!
