Jayden & Dillon | Okanagan Elopement Photographer | Tin Poppy Elopement | Salmon Arm, BC

Okanagan Wedding Photographer, Okanagan Elopement Photographer

“Paulina is truly a one-of-a-kind gal! Dillon and I eloped at the Tin Poppy in the beautiful, whimsical Larch Hills of British Columbia. We knew as soon as we went through the photographers that Paulina was going to be perfect for what we were envisioning.  From the moment she showed up, she introduced herself and offered her hand asking “What can I do to help you” and grabbed me a glass of water to calm my nerves.

Neither of us have done a professional shoot with a photographer before, and I am quite camera shy. I was nervous of being in front of the camera – but she quickly relieved me of that and allowed Dillon and I to be ourselves and joke around with each other! She was even so kind as to make sure our dog, Wilson, was included in the photos.

Thanks to her laid back, fun loving approach to photography – she delivered the most real photos we could have asked for. I was even surprised with a mini shoot that Dillon and his groomsman did while I was inside! It was such a treat to see when we got all of our photos back! Paulina managed to capture every emotion ourselves and all of our loved ones were feeling that beautiful, foggy, mystical day. We would recommend her over & over again to anyone looking for a photographer – Paulina goes above & beyond (and then some) for her clients.”

Weselnik Magazine Cover Shoot | Poland Elopement Photographer | Gdansk, Poland

In the spring, I collaborated with some super talented and amazing women from Gdańsk for a styled bridal adventure session. We set our alarms for 0245 and met on a beach in Sopot (which is picturesque Baltic coastal town) and photographed this beauty at the 0400 sunrise. After we left the beach, we headed to the horse academy, Akademia Jeździecka J.J. Darboven for part two of our styled session. You can find our beachy bridal adventure session here, and our horse academy bridal adventure session here.

After these two sessions, we were contacted by Weselnik, which is a local Polish Wedding magazine and planner of “the” bridal fair in northern Poland – Targi Ślub i Wesele. Together, we planned this shoot with the intention of it being used for the upcoming XVI Targi Ślub i Wesele advertisements. Not only were my photos used for the bridal fair advertisements, several of my images ended up on the July and October covers and inside the issues, on their website, aaaaaaaaand on a BILLBOARD on a major road between Sopot and Gdańsk (!!)

Sincere thanks to this amazing team of talent. It was a pleasure working with you. Dziękuję serdecznie ♡
