Ali & Gordie’s Summer Wedding at Tyax Lodge


Tucked away in the remote beauty of the South Chilcotins, Tyax Lodge was the perfect backdrop for Ali & Gordie’s incredible summer wedding. With its serene lake, rugged mountain views, and vast wilderness, it was a dream setting for a couple who loves the outdoors.


A Breathtaking Venue in the Heart of Nature

For anyone unfamiliar with Tyax Lodge, it’s a hidden gem nestled in British Columbia’s backcountry. The lodge offers a peaceful escape, where towering peaks meet the tranquil waters of Tyaughton Lake. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and nature takes center stage—exactly what Ali & Gordie envisioned for their wedding day.


A Day Filled with Love, Laughter & Adventure

From the moment I arrived, I could feel the excitement in the air. The morning was calm, with the lake reflecting the soft hues of the summer sky. Ali and her bridesmaids got ready in one of the cozy cabins, sharing laughter and heartfelt moments. Meanwhile, Gordie and his groomsmen shared a drink and a game of pool at the lodge before organizing everyone for the main event.

The ceremony took place on the lodge’s sprawling lawn, with the mountains standing proudly in the background. As Ali walked down the aisle, there wasn’t a dry eye in sight. The couple exchanged vows surrounded by their closest friends and family. The intimacy of the moment, combined with the breathtaking scenery, made for an unforgettable experience.


Golden Hour Perfection

One of the highlights of the day was sneaking away with Ali & Gordie for their golden hour portraits. We snuck out to the dock to catch the last light of the day. The way the sun dipped behind the mountains, casting a golden glow over the water, was pure magic. Their love was so effortless and joyful—it was an absolute dream to capture.


A Celebration to Remember

As the sun set, the reception kicked off with heartfelt and hilarious speeches, incredible food, and plenty of dancing. The lodge’s rustic charm set the perfect mood for an evening of celebration. It was the kind of wedding where you could feel the warmth—not just from the fire, but from the love that surrounded Ali & Gordie.


A Wedding for the Books

Ali & Gordie’s wedding at Tyax Lodge was nothing short of spectacular. It was a perfect reflection of who they are—adventurous, deeply in love, and surrounded by an incredible community. I feel so grateful to have been a part of their day, capturing the moments they’ll cherish forever.
