Learn more ABOUT ME…
your Kelowna wedding photographer, the one behind the camera, photographing all the important moments and everything in between.
Oh hey there!
I'm Mari! A follower of Jesus, a dreamer, a cheesy romantic, an adventurer, and a Kelowna wedding photographer!
​
I've been married to a really awesome man, named Ken, since February 25, 2017! I am a dog and a cat mom! I'm a South African who has lived longer in Canada. I went to the States on a Track Scholarship; so watch out I'm pretty fast! Just recently moved from Canmore, AB to the Okanagan in British Columbia and just absolutely love everything about this place!
A couple of years before I started my photography business I went on a missions trip to Kenya & Uganda. It was so incredible. I had my camera ready, taking pictures of everything and everyone. When I came home I was excited to show people my photos but realized 80% of my photos were of animals, the same ones over and over. I was pretty upset with myself, because I wanted people to relive my story through my images. So this started my journey into being the photographer I am today. Every time I pick up my camera I’m ready to live in the moment, in YOUR moment, documenting it all and everything in between, so that when it’s all said and done you will have your day displayed in nostalgic imagery.
​
So let me tell your story.

​
Values:
I love people. It is my goal when I meet people
I see marriage as the Bible does; holy & beautiful, where two people in love choose to spend the rest of their lives together as one!
I am Christian first and foremost. I love and follow Jesus. Im not a Christian because I’m a good person but because I needed a saviour, I was lost and now I am found.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
​
I’ll be completely honest with you, I love a good love story! I believe that your wedding day should reflect just that, your love! This is why I love being a wedding photographer. I get to live in your love story for a day and document it!
​
My mission as your Kelowna wedding photographer is to be YOU centred, to truly hear your heart and see your vision come alive!
