Simple Chic Kelowna Wedding at Gallagher’s Canyon
I realize I may be a bit biased as a British Columbia based wedding photographer, but I think you’d be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful area to get married. Alexandra’s & Mitchell’s wedding at Gallagher’s Canyon Golf & Country Club in Kelowna is a great example of why I believe that! They combined pieces of their story with breathtaking scenery at meaningful locations for a stunning wedding full of love and laughter.

Kelowna Mountaintop First Look
The day started with a cozy getting-ready session at their family homes in Kelowna, filled with joyful anticipation and close-knit moments. After getting dressed to the 9s and sharing celebratory drinks separately, Alexandra & Mitchell did first looks on a nearby mountaintop. Aside from gorgeous scenery, their choice of first look location was near & dear to them and their story. When Mitch proposed to Alex, he popped the question on this very mountain– part of his father’s property. Returning to that spot for private vows & time with just the two of them on their big day was a beautiful, full-circle moment that I was honored to witness. Afterwards, they drove off in their Jeep to Gallagher’s Canyon Golf & Country Club for their main ceremony.





​Gallagher's Canyon Golf & Country Club
Alexandra’s & Mitchell’s wedding at Gallagher's Canyon Golf & Country Club was the second time I’ve shot this venue & it’s stunning! For couples who are seeking a more intimate wedding venue, this one in Kelowna, BC is a great option. While outdoor ceremonies are popular because of the picturesque views, an indoor ceremony space is available in case of inclement weather. The Canyon Room, the designated reception space, has a modern & inviting feel with plenty of room for adding personal touches. (Just know, however, if glitter or confetti are your vibe, they won’t be allowed on the premises.)




Outdoor Ceremony Overlooking Okanagan Valley
Alexandra and Mitchell couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful day for their outdoor Kelowna wedding! They exchanged vows under a white arch draped in colorful florals by Tangerine Orchid with a scenic view of the grove of Ponderosa pines behind them & blue skies above them. Every shot—from the lush outdoor ceremony to the heartfelt toasts inside the reception hall—tells a story of a day filled with joy and connection. Even down to the bridal portraits on the golf course, a nod to Mitch’s love for the sport, had meaning. (A little note to future brides considering Gallagher’s Canyon: look into alternative locations for portraits as there's not a lot of space for extra portraits at the golf course.)




Fun-Filled Kelowna Reception
Following their outdoor ceremony, the newlyweds joined their guests for toasts & celebration. As an added perk for couples, Gallagher’s Canyon offers on-site catering and bar services, plenty of parking, and accessibility for guests. It’s a venue designed to take the stress out of wedding planning, allowing couples to focus on their special day. Not only was their venue choice excellent for photos, Alex & Mitch were able to be fully present with their family & friends as they danced, laughed, and celebrated their new marriage. Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Beres!
