A Vintage Outdoor Wedding in Kelowna, British Columbia

Josephine and Michael met among the picturesque mountains of Kelowna, so it was only fitting that they would choose to say “I do” in the area. For their late-summer celebration, the two settled on the CedarCreek Estate Winery for an intimate outdoor ceremony of just 61 guests followed by a delicious six-course dinner at the historic Laurel Packinghouse. Even though everything didn’t go perfectly according to plan—“Everyone started eating our cake before I even got to see it, and my iPod wouldn’t play our first dance song,” Josephine laughs—it was truly the perfect day. “There were so many amazing moments, and I loved seeing our parents so happy,” she recalls. “I’ll never forget the big smile on my dad’s face.”
