Kootenay Lakeview Lodge is one of my favorite West Kootenay wedding venues. Reg, the manager specializes in catering for weddings and it shows. There is a lodge, 9 hole golf course and mini-golf course which makes the location ideal for large family gatherings. The backdrop of the East Shore of Kootenay Lake and the Purcell mountains is icing on the cake.

Weddings at family properties have a special attachment for the bride and groom. The home might be a place that you will return to many times over the coming years. Catering sometimes is managed by relatives. The atmosphere can be very relaxing and accommodating for everyone. You might have a special place that you want for your intimate wedding photographs. These are photos that you will treasure forever.

When the wedding commissioner's daughter gets married and selects me as the photographer - you better bring your A-game! This wedding involved a ceremony for 200 in Silverton and a boat ride over to the Valhalla Provincial Park for romantic and adventure photos. I live in New Denver just minutes away from local wedding favorites like the Kohan Gardens on the shore of Slocan Lake.

The ceremony and reception are located right outside the door on the beautiful grass of the par 3 golf course. World famous Kokanee Creek Provincial Park is just down the road on the shore of Kootenay Lake. The light in the afternoon at the Lodge makes for perfect photographs.

Of course you want a photographer to mark this milestone in your life. You may have eloped, or you might have hundreds of family and guests. It is important to have valuable photographic memories. A well composed photograph is very different from a snapshot. Wedding photos are a blend of portraits, group photos and capture the moment photography.
