Wedding days at The Falls in Chilliwack always have a way of feeling expansive. The mountain views, the rolling greens, the warm Fraser Valley light, and Jarrett and Breanna’s July celebration was no exception.
From the very beginning, their day felt light. Easy. Joyful in the most unforced way.
Jarrett & Breanna
A Hot July Morning At The Falls Golf Club
Mid-summer in Chilliwack is no joke, it was hot. The kind of heat where everyone is a little flushed and moving just a little slower. But somehow, instead of feeling overwhelming, the warmth added to the relaxed, carefree energy of the day.
That’s who Jarrett and Breanna are.
Light-hearted. Go-with-the-flow. Fully present.
Breanna told me ahead of time that Jarrett can feel a little awkward in front of the camera and tends to lose focus. She said the trick? Make him laugh. Think little-kid humour. Farts. Random jokes. Keep it playful and refocus him gently.
And honestly? Being a boy mom, that kind of energy is fun for me to work with.
If you’ve seen my work before, you know my goal is always the same, to create an environment where you forget I’m even holding a camera. Breanna told me that’s exactly why they chose to work with me. She loved how comfortable and natural my couples looked. And that comfort? It’s intentional.
Getting Ready In Navy, Coral & Summer Light
The colour palette for their day was fresh and classic: white, coral pink, and navy blue.
Jarrett and his groomsmen wore navy suits with crisp white shirts and coral pink ties, perfectly tying in with the bridesmaids’ dresses. It felt polished without being too formal. Elegant, but still playful.
Breanna wore a beautiful A-line gown with delicate spaghetti straps and a deep V neckline. Timeless. Feminine. Effortless.
There was something about the contrast of navy against the bright summer sky at The Falls that felt especially striking. The golf course views stretch endlessly, framed by mountains in the distance. It’s one of the reasons couples love this space, it gives you that grand, scenic backdrop without needing to travel far from the Fraser Valley.
And yes, it’s also a practical choice. Affordable. Accessible. Beautiful.
Ceremony Under the Summer Sun
The ceremony was heartfelt and simple, exactly in line with who they are.
The sun was high. The air was warm. Guests fanned themselves and laughed softly as Jarrett and Breanna stood together, smiling in that slightly “is this real?” kind of way.
There’s something so beautiful about couples who don’t try to control every second. They let the day unfold.
That was the rhythm here.
Relaxed. Unrushed. Honest.
Portraits, Keeping It Playful
When it came time for portraits, I kept things light and interactive. Movement over stiff posing. Conversation over silence.
Jarrett did exactly what Breanna predicted, he’d drift for a second, then burst into laughter with the right joke. And those are always the moments I love most. The in-between. The genuine.
The landscape at The Falls gives us space to breathe. Open greens, soft hills, mountain silhouettes. Even in the heat, we found pockets of shade and wind that gave us movement in her dress and softness in their expressions.
They didn’t overthink it.
They didn’t perform.
They just enjoyed being together.
The Reception & That First Dance
If I had to choose one moment that defined this wedding, it would be their first dance.
It wasn’t slow and swaying.
It wasn’t choreographed.
It was joyful chaos in the best way.
They picked a fun, upbeat song and jumped around on stage like they were teens at a concert. Laughing. Singing. Completely themselves. Halfway through, their parents joined them, and suddenly the dance floor felt like one big celebration.
It was the kind of moment that reminds me why I love this job so much.
Unscripted.
Unpolished.
Unforgettable.

Four Insider Tips for Your The Falls Chilliwack Wedding
1. Plan for the Heat (Especially July & August)
Mid-summer ceremonies can be very warm. Consider handheld fans for guests, water stations, and scheduling portraits closer to golden hour or before noon.
2. Use the Landscape to Your Advantage
The rolling greens and mountain backdrop are stunning, but timing matters. Sunset portraits here are magic. Build it into your timeline.
3. Choose Colours That Pop Against Greenery
Navy, coral, soft neutrals, and crisp whites photograph beautifully against the golf course landscape.
4. Keep the Energy Light
This venue suits relaxed, joyful celebrations. Lean into fun moments, playful first dances, candid cocktail hours, movement over stiff traditions.
