May Recap:
May Moments: Behind the Lens with Sky Eyes Video
May has been one for the books here at Sky Eyes Video — full of creativity, connection, and some seriously electric events. From helping launch a brand-new venue to capturing bold boudoir sessions and soaking in the sounds of Kelowna’s freshest DJs, we’ve been busy doing what we love: telling stories through photo and video.
Here’s a look back at some of the standout projects we worked on this month:
Grand Opening at Sixteen15
We’re thrilled to announce our recent collaboration with Sixteen15, Kelowna’s newest event space, located in the heart of the city at 1615 Pandosy Avenue. This stunning venue is a fresh addition to the local scene — versatile, modern, and full of personality.
Sky Eyes Video was proud to be part of their official launch, providing both photography and videography for the grand opening celebrations. We captured everything from the bright, elegant daytime showcase with music by DJ Invizible to the electric energy of the evening event with music by Kapital City, giving a full picture of what this space can offer. Check out the DJs at @dj_invizible and @kapitalcitykelowna.
Beyond event coverage, we also had the opportunity to document the venue itself as renovations wrapped up — creating a set of crisp, brand-aligned images for Sixteen15’s brand new website. From the thoughtful decor to the smart, open layout, every detail felt intentional and full of potential.
Whether it’s a workshop, private party, or wedding reception, Sixteen15 offers a beautifully designed and highly flexible canvas for any event. Owners Taylor and Daniel have poured their vision and heart into this space — and it shows. We’re genuinely excited about what’s ahead and can’t wait to continue collaborating with this dynamic team.

Boudoir, Reimagined: A Bold Step Into Men's Sessions
This month also brought a bold and beautiful creative challenge as we expanded our boudoir photography offerings to include a fresh new segment: Men’s Boudoir.
Our model, Papa Playtyime, brought incredible energy to the shoot — always moving, full of charisma, and, honestly, someone who could be teaching modeling courses with the amount of natural rizz he brought to every frame. Together, we crafted a session that felt bold, confident, and deeply expressive. Check out @xxwallawallawillyxx for more burlesque show dates and shoots.
We used a variety of props and styling elements, each carefully selected to enhance the vibe and highlight his unique presence. The final images are nothing short of striking — balancing masculine strength with a playful edge.
These photos will soon be featured in promotions for upcoming burlesque shows and other online creative content. And for us, this shoot reaffirmed something we truly believe in: Boudoir is for everyone. It’s a chance to explore your sensual side, to celebrate your beauty — whether bold, soft, hidden, or loud — and to tell your story in a way that feels authentic and empowered.
Latin Fiesta Friday Patio Party at Casa de Frida
We had the absolute pleasure of attending the Patio Party Fiesta at Casa de Frida on Lawrence Avenue, @casadefridakelowna. It was such a treat to connect with the wonderful owners, Nathy and Luis, out on their warm, colorful, and inviting patio — a perfect setting for a lively spring night.
The music was on point, and one of the best parts was connecting with the Kapital City crew — a new and exciting DJ collective that’s been lighting up Kelowna’s event scene. Big shoutout to:
🎧 Paul @paullrusu
🎧 Matt @matthewjmuscat
🎧 Alex @betonred.dj
🎧 Joel @21realms.wav
🎧 Amber @amberrozenza
These guys brought serious vibe, and we’re excited to see where their sound takes them next.
And let’s talk about those #1 Margaritas in Kelowna — absolutely nothing to sneeze at. They were a standout: gold flakes, handcrafted flair, and a whole lotta love in every glass. You could feel the passion behind every pour.
The energy was bopping, the conversations were flowing, and the party carried on well into the warm Kelowna night. A beautiful celebration of music, community, and summer vibes — we were so glad to be there with cameras in hand.
Onward and Upward
From sleek new venues to bold boudoir and nights under the stars, May has been an inspiring month full of creativity, community, and expression. Thank you to everyone who collaborated with us, trusted us with their stories, and made space for our cameras.
We can’t wait to see what June brings.
