Vancouver, British Columbia
Originally titled ‘Love on the Wings of Eagles,’ the film was shot in Vancouver. Located in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia, the seaport city is a favorable filming destination owing to the generous tax credits, availability of expert technical crews and talented actors, spectacular natural backdrops, favorable climate, and first-rate production facilities. Therefore, it isn’t surprising that it has served as the shooting site of numerous films and TV shows, including many Hallmark productions.
Thanking the cast and crew members for their contribution to the film, Guest wrote, “An incredible shoot, amazing team, love this crew, talented cast, dreamy locations. Thankful for the opportunity to direct this gem.” Other cast members like Darien Martin took to humor and posted how he didn’t realize it would be difficult swimming in full clothes and boots.
