Emily and Yuri’s Kelowna wedding was full of sentimental meaning from start to finish. I fell more in love with every new detail I learnt about!
First of all, the wedding was held at Emily’s grandparents’ apple orchard estate in the beautiful Kelowna countryside. Emily and Yuri said their vows on the front lawn of her grandparents’ home, surrounded by a flower garden they had been tending to all year to get ready for the wedding.
The reception was housed in a barn on the estate, decorated with flowers grown by Emily’s mom and full of beautiful diy elements. Maybe my favourite detail is Emily’s lacy bohemian dress, which her mom made for her!
Of course the setting was pretty perfect for photos too, with rows of apple trees just waiting to be picked and views overlooking the Okanagan valley in the distance. Their wedding was in the middle of a bad forest fire season, but luckily it rained the night before and cleared out most of the smoke for their wedding day.
The whole day matched Emily and Yuri’s easy going personality, and I felt like I was photographing a friend’s wedding! Plus I always love working with other creatives like Emily, who’s an artist.
Thank you again for inviting me over for such a special day :)
