Hello, my name's Breyden

I've been shooting photo and video ever since I bought my first camera in 2016 and have enjoyed every minute of it. Born and raised throughout BC, primarily in the Okanagan/Shuswap area. I love the outdoors, animals, poutine and my amazing wife Darcee!



My focus is capturing wedding, elopement and engagement photography that conveys the emotion and unique story behind your wedding day. Based in Vernon, BC, I photograph weddings throughout the Okanagan and Shuswap, drawing inspiration from the stunning views of BC. I prioritize colour, light, and thoughtful composition in every image I create, but above all, I believe a great photo tells a story. Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and I’m so excited to be able to capture those memories and moments for you to be able to cherish forever.

Behind the Photos

 

My inspiration comes from a background in landscape photography, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of creation all around us. Light, colour and composition are what make up the backbone of my visual style, with storytelling being at the foundation.


I believe that all visual media tells a story, and what better story is there to tell than one of love, comitment and sacrifice. Weddings are a beautiful portrait of all these things, and I cherish the opportunity to be able to capture these stories in lifelong memories.
