Paul & Nicole | Sparkling Hill Resort Wedding

I had a lot of fun working with Paul & Nicole. They are a really fun couple, with lots of ideas.

We spent a year together, designing and imagining new things for their big day. They wanted something unique, modern and luxurious. Planning a Sparkling Hill Resort wedding means you’re already halfway there – that venue is breathtaking all by itself. It’s so easy to add more sparkle to it!

From the moment you step onto the property, you’re surrounded by stunning Okanagan Valley views and architectural details that feel both contemporary and timeless. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the foyer flood the spaces with natural light, creating the perfect backdrop for those unforgettable moments. Whether you’re saying “I do” with the lake stretching endlessly behind you or dancing the night away in their elegant ballroom, every corner of this venue photographs like a dream.

What I love most about working with couples at Sparkling Hill is how the venue naturally elevates whatever vision we create together. Want to go bold with dramatic florals? The clean, modern lines provide the perfect contrast. Dreaming of something more minimalist? The venue’s inherent beauty means less is definitely more. The neutral palette and sophisticated design elements work seamlessly with any color scheme or style direction.

The year-long planning process with this particular couple was such a joy because we could focus on the details that would make their celebration uniquely theirs. We weren’t trying to transform a space – we were enhancing something already spectacular. From custom lighting that complemented the venue’s existing ambiance to selecting linens that played perfectly with the mountain views, every decision felt effortless.

That’s the magic of a Sparkling Hill Resort wedding – the venue does so much of the heavy lifting, allowing us to concentrate on creating those personal touches that make your celebration unforgettable. It’s luxury without the stress, sophistication that feels natural.

I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do.
