Pocket Sunshine Photography

What I Do

Photographing weddings, couples, brands and real estate throughout the Okanagan.

The Photographer

Hello, I’m Darrian!

I’m a professional photographer with more than a decade behind the camera, most recently working throughout Banff and Canmore in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. I’ve since traded the mountains for the Okanagan Valley, now calling Vernon,BC my home and building Pocket Sunshine Photography.

My experience in weddings is extensive, my approach is creative and meaningful. I’ve learned that some of the best photographs start with simply knowing what to look for.
