Dunes Wedding Photographer

Ryan + Melissa were married on a stunning Fall day in October at the Dunes in Kamloops. It was my last wedding of the year and was special for so many reasons! Ryan and Melissa are family, so it was so amazing to get to celebrate with them, and to get to take their photos – plus it was Fall, my favorite season of all! <3 Although it was chilly out, they opted to still do their ceremony outside, which was absolutely stunning (I love outdoor ceremonies!) The mist along the mountains, and the crisp outside air made for a beautiful backdrop for their vows.

Both their children played a large roll in their wedding walking their mom down the aisle and acting as bridesmaid’s and groomsmen for the couple (which was the most adorable thing ever!) Keyanna looked like a mini ballerina bride, with an elegant bun, a tiara and a beautiful tulle dress! Austin was a miniature Ryan. He looked so dapper in his suit, and he was the most well behaved groomsmen I’ve had in awhile 😉

Melissa and Ryan are amazing together! Even after two kids and quite a few years together, they still are so loving towards one another! They tried to say that they weren’t a super romantic couple, but every time I would turn around Ryan would be holding her in close, keeping her warm, and Melissa would be smiling her big gorgeous smile! I think the biggest testament to how great they are together is their amazing kids. Keyanna and Austin are the best! They are so kind, well behaved, cute and helpful! They didn’t complain at all with how cold it was when we were doing photos, they sat up straight and listened intently during speeches, and then they danced the night away! I think it made the day that much more special that they got to play such an integral role in the wedding! Love you all so much! xoxo
