What Makes Kelowna Elopements Different

Kelowna is the most vineyard-dense elopement market in Canada. Couples who want a ceremony at Summerhill, Mission Hill, Quails' Gate, or Tantalus have options that don't exist anywhere else in BC. Many wineries offer micro-ceremony packages from May through October, and the warm, dry Okanagan light in the late afternoon is among the best wedding photography light in Canada. Budget the most you can for photography here — the setting deserves it.
