I have been intrigued by the Tin Poppy Retreat ever since I picked up one of their brochures a couple of years ago. I started following them on Instagram and then decided to reach out to Maggie Shook to see if she wanted to collaborate on an elopement styled shoot. Maggie and her husband Jeremy are the most interesting and creative people and I wanted to spend way more time talking with them.
Each unique and inspired accommodation on this beautiful, 160 acre property in the Larch Hills has incredible character and style. It has three rentals available – the Lavender House, Violet Cabin and its namesake, the Tin Poppy. It’s eco (solar-powered!), rustic yet luxurious and an absolutely perfect place for an offbeat couple’s elopement or intimate wedding. If I could do it all over again, this is the just kind of place that I would absolutely get married. Thankfully there are always vow renewals, right?
I collaborated with these fantastic artists/vendors from the central and north Okanagan:

Thank you to everyone involved! It was a beautiful day and I can’t wait to come back and spend a cozy weekend by the fire at this forested retreat in the hills.
Oh my goodness! Tin Poppy Retreat is almost as beautiful as that bride! Love the unique aspects brought into their intimate wedding day. You documented it so well!
That cute puppy in the beginning! What a beautiful forest elopement.
I have no words for how much I love everything about this!!! My favorite photos are the one where her dress is hanging in front of the cabin and the bride hold the deer skull. This tin poppy retreat elopement looks so dreamy. And that cake looks delicious. What a beautiful intimate wedding!
Oh my goodness Paulina, this is STUNNING!!! You are a fantastic Okanagan Elopement Photographer and Tin Poppy Retreat is indeed a stunning spot to elope!
