British Columbia Coastal Engagement Photos

I never tire of seeing what romantic, light-filled images Adrian Michael sends my way, and I doubt Vale + Vine readers do either. Here, Adrian captures some of the best of what British Columbia's west coast has to offer, a shoreline and waterscape filled with rich yet subtle hues, a peacefulness that comes with sunset on the water, and a couple who brings style and comfort together--and goodness knows we on the west coast are serious about making this combination work for just about every situation!...

Intimate Okanagan Winery Wedding

For anyone who has a thing for the golden California light that's so renowned throughout the fine art wedding industry, Canada's Okanagan Valley is the northern equivalent. Tucked away in British Columbia's interior and featuring sunburned hills, a Mediterranean climate, and sparkling lakes, this diverse valley is home to some of the warmest light you'll find in Canada....

Coastal Winter Wedding Inspiration

Earlier this week on Vale + Vine, I featured an exotic West Coast inspiration shoot by Blush Wedding Photography that incorporated lush botanicals and had my imagination wandering off to some far-flung tropical destination. So I found it utterly striking to see Adrian Michael's West Coast inspiration shoot styled with a completely different look and feel--one that conjured up an intimate beach-side ceremony or elopement, with a luxurious Tofino lodge or cozy B+B to duck into as an evening storm rolled in. I love the contrast between the two shoots and how similar environments can inspire completely different styles for two very different types of brides.
