Draht Photography is a Vernon and Kelowna wedding photographer led by Eric Draht and serving couples across the Okanagan. The official site presents a candid, imaginative and adventurous approach, with wedding galleries, recent wedding posts and a published investment page.

The business lists Vernon and Kelowna as its base areas and identifies weddings as its main focus, alongside engagement, family and maternity work. Couples can review published package outlines, then inquire directly about date availability, location logistics and the collection that fits their plans.

Services and specialization

Draht Photography documents weddings, engagements, family sessions, maternity sessions and portraits. For wedding work, the official FAQ describes a blend of candid photojournalism and creative portraiture, with natural posing and cinematic editing. The site also says photography is focused on candid moments during speeches, ceremonies and receptions, alongside artistic formal portraits.

Wedding packages on the official investments page include combinations of coverage, edited high-resolution images, online hosting or galleries, and image-delivery media. Depending on the collection, listed inclusions can also include an engagement session, a second-photographer option, albums, prints or canvases. The site also states that elopement photography is available.

Wedding photography, engagement sessions and elopements are documented services.
The stated visual approach combines candid coverage with creative portraiture.
Package details vary by collection; confirm the selected collection in writing.

Service area and who it may suit

The official site identifies Draht Photography with Vernon and Kelowna, BC, and says it serves the Okanagan, including Vernon, Penticton, Peachland and Lake Country. It also states that destination weddings outside British Columbia are available. The photographer’s FAQ treats locations within two hours of Kelowna as local for travel purposes.

This may suit couples planning an Okanagan wedding who want a photographer whose published work and service description place value on candid moments, creative portraits and outdoor or location-led imagery. It may also be relevant to couples considering an elopement or a wedding outside the immediate Vernon–Kelowna area, provided travel and date availability are confirmed.

Base areas stated by the business: Vernon and Kelowna, BC.
Okanagan communities are specifically named on the official FAQ.
Destination coverage is stated as available, subject to direct confirmation.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the depth of first-party planning information. Draht Photography publishes wedding galleries, a substantial FAQ, current wedding blog posts, contact details and a package page rather than requiring couples to begin with an unqualified pricing inquiry. The official site also publishes package components such as coverage length, online galleries, edited images and physical products.

The practical limitation is that a full postal street address is not published on the reviewed official pages; the site instead lists Kelowna and Vernon as service locations. The contact page also says the business photographs a limited number of weddings each year, so a listed package does not establish availability for a particular date. Confirm location-specific travel terms, exact deliverables and current availability before signing.

Confirmed feature: published wedding packages and inclusions.
Confirmed feature: online galleries and edited-image delivery appear in listed collections.
Practical limitation: no official postal address was found.
Practical limitation: availability is not shown in real time.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published on the official wedding-investments page. The Bronze package is listed at $3,000 for three to five hours and includes 350+ edited images, permanent online hosting, a guest gallery, low-resolution social images and high-resolution images on an archival-quality thumb drive. The Silver package is listed at $3,750 for a full day on location, online hosting, guest and wedding-party gallery access, and high- and low-resolution image delivery.

The Gold package is listed at $4,500 for full-day coverage, with a choice described as travel to the US, Canada or the UK, an engagement session, or a second-shooter option; it also lists high-resolution images and either a fine-art album or two 11×14 prints or canvases. The Platinum package is listed at $7,500 for three-day coverage with included travel costs, two photographers, an engagement session, hosting, archival thumb drives, albums and prints or canvases. The page displays dollar amounts but does not expressly identify the currency or state tax treatment, so confirm both with the business.

The FAQ states a $500 CAD non-refundable deposit is recommended to secure a booking. It also says the outstanding amount is due within 14 days of the wedding day. These terms should be reconfirmed against the current contract, particularly if the wedding is outside the local area or a custom collection is requested.

Published package prices: $3,000, $3,750, $4,500 and $7,500 as displayed.
Published deposit: $500 CAD, described as non-refundable.
Confirm currency, taxes, travel costs and current terms before booking.

Contact and booking

Couples can contact Draht Photography through the official contact page or by email at edraht@drahtphotography.com. The official site also publishes the phone number 250-550-6077. It states that it is consulting for 2026 and 2027 couples and photographs a limited number of weddings each year.

A useful first inquiry should include the wedding date, venue or location, approximate coverage needed, guest count, whether an engagement session or second photographer is of interest, and whether the event is outside the Okanagan. This gives the business the details needed to discuss fit, logistics and a current quote.

What couples should confirm

Confirm that the preferred date is available and which package is currently offered for that date. For the Gold collection, clarify which single option applies: travel, an engagement session or a second photographer. For Platinum, clarify who the second photographer will be and how responsibilities are divided during the event.

Ask for the full written agreement to confirm the number of coverage hours, timeline-planning support, travel boundaries, any accommodation or scouting requirements, delivery method, album or print specifications, image-use permissions, cancellation and rescheduling terms, and the final total including applicable taxes. The FAQ says proofing is typically available two weeks after the wedding and that most couples receive 300+ images, while another FAQ entry gives an average range of 400–900 edited images depending on coverage; couples should confirm the expected delivery for their selected collection.

Background and current activity

The official about page identifies Eric Draht as the photographer and states that he moved into full-time photography in 2014. The site’s recent blog includes wedding posts dated in June and July 2026, which supports that the official domain is actively publishing wedding-related work.

The website’s legacy contact trail has been superseded: the old Nixon Wenger URL and 250-542-5353 number belong to an unrelated law firm. The confirmed official website, email and phone for this profile are the Draht Photography contact details published on drahtphotography.com.
