About Kevin - Kelowna wedding photographer

"My philosophy towards photography is to shoot with an open heart which allows me to capture the magical moments that pass in a split second, while using my artistic vision to preserve their beauty."

Where did it all start, hmmm?  Way back in a high-school black and white darkroom when I saw my first image magically appear in the developer.  Those chemical worn hands are now healed, but all that magic and more happens every day for me in the digital darkroom.

Graduating with honours from the Visual Arts program at the University-College of the Fraser Valley developed my creative mind; however, I soon yearned to master the technical side of photography.  I continued my studies at Langara College in Vancouver and apprenticed with local photographers.  The word digital was not even mentioned throughout my entire education, but in 2000, soon after graduating I sold all my film equipment and jumped whole-heartedly into the digital medium.

At about this same time I met my muse, love and now wife Katherine. Her beauty inspires my every day.  We have now been together almost nine years and just married on July 21st, 2007 at Summerhill Pyramid Winery where my three assistant photographers took on the project of actually trying to make me look good; what a task! 

My life passion and career is photography.  Nowadays if you drive by my studio, you will often see me editing until the wee hours of the morning.   From the first phone call through the completion of a storybook album, I love taking the time to get to know each couple and express in my images the beauty that they each possess.

Now having photographed weddings for over 10 years, I feel that I have an innate ability to know a moment just before it happens and capture it perfectly. My technical expertise is so integral to the images I create and this has become one of my top specialties as a photographer. I have been sharing this knowledge for over five years teaching workshops to both the public and professionals.

My photography style is forever inspired by the best fashion and art photographers such as Annie Leibovitz and Paolo Roversi among many more, taking elements of posing, lighting and toning and infusing it into my own imagery. The other side of my inspiration is simply the luxury of being able to photograph weddings in the Okanagan using stunning wedding venues throughout the valley such as our famous wineries and golf courses, paired with great portrait locations like our beaches, parks and orchards.
