Defining your photography style in words can be a tricky business. So often the words we choose can pigeonhole us in the minds of our potential clients.

Is it Photojournalism?

In the past we have referred our style as photo-journalistic, which is only partially true. Pure photojournalism has absolutely no interaction between the photographer and their subjects, nothing should be posed or scripted, and detail shots should be minimal (according to the Wedding Photojournalist Association). This causes a few problems for us:

Is it Traditional?

No, traditional is not really our thing. The Traditional approach is having the majority of the photography is specifically posed portraiture (or “classically posed images” according to Wikipedia). Everyone has probably experienced this before: everyone standing in a line with their bodies tilted towards the center of the frame and told to “smiiilllllle”. While it is true we do this for the family portraits, it is quite a small portion of our coverage. Our goal is to have these complete in 15 minutes flat. And trust us, if you don’t want traditional family portraits we are more than happy to oblige!

So what do we mean by editorial wedding photography?

What is editorial wedding photography? It is a blend of photojournalism and portrait photography that focuses on telling the story of your wedding day. We want to showcase what makes your day special to you, whether it is a more traditional wedding or is totally off-the-wall; we are always up to the challenge. It includes candids of all the in-between moments, posed portraiture of the wedding couple and bridal party, traditional family portraits (it’s all Grandma really wants!), and of course the detail shots. Our ultimate goal is to create artistic & timeless images, capturing the full story of one of the most meaningful days of your life.

What’s with all these words? Show me your photos already!

Honestly you don’t need to know all these terms to know if our style does it for you or not. The best way is to see for yourself, so head over to our Kelowna photographers wedding portfolio to view our work.

Welcome to the new web site & brand direction for Pixel Story! It's been quite a long process but we are finally ready to share it all with the world. We started with a refresh on our logo that better fits with our core messaging (our previous logo put all the emphasis on the word "Pixel" when really the phrase together is what we are all about, the "Story" that goes along with the pixels).

The next step was to do a ground up rework of our web site. A new cleaner design that focuses on making our work stand out and so that potential clients can easily understand who we are and how we work. We then enlisted the help of our friend Seth @ JetScream to polish all of our copy for us. We also added an honest to goodness blog where we will be able to keep everyone up to date.

And finally we revamped all of our galleries and changed the format of them. We now have three main featured weddings that give a more detailed look at our wedding coverage. The Favorites gallery shows our favorites images from over the years while the Wedding Details galleries show more specific images.

We hope our new site & branding will better portray what we (and our work) are all about.

It was just a great day up at the new Sparkling Hill Resort for Jared + Carolyn's wedding this past weekend. Even with the fresh haze from a forest fire dimming the sky, nothing could put a damper on the joy and spark of this wedding!

Here is the hottest new location to get married (and have your reception) in the Okanagan: Sparkling Hill Resort.

Micah was kind enough to give us a tour of the facilities a few weeks ago. The uniqueness and attention to detail was very impressive! Loved how they incorporated Swarovski crystals into literally EVERYTHING, even down to the bathroom signs!

The resort also includes a full wellness spa and is adjacent to Predator Ridge so if you and/or your fiance love golf, you will be in for a treat.

We are very excited to photograph Jared & Carolyn's wedding this summer at Sparkling Hill Resort.

Here is a glimpse of what you can expect up at Sparkling Hill, but it has to be experienced in person to get the full effect!

A very small and intimate wedding at Bertram Creek Regional Park. Thankfully the bad weather stayed away throughout the ceremony AND for the formals as well!
