Where are you located?

 I am a Vancouver weddings and elopements photographer, proudly serving couples throughout British Columbia and beyond. While I am based in Vancouver, my passion for capturing love stories takes me to stunning destinations across the province and even beyond its borders. From the vibrant cityscapes of Vancouver to the breathtaking landscapes of British Columbia, including the enchanting Okanagan and the serene Shuswap regions, I am ready to travel to wherever your love story unfolds.

How Many Images Are Included?

As a dedicated Vancouver weddings and elopements photographer, I understand the significance of capturing every precious moment of your special day. While the number of images included may vary depending on the duration and unique details of your wedding or elopement, I strive to provide an extensive collection of carefully selected, high-quality photographs that beautifully tell your love story. My goal is to deliver a comprehensive gallery that encompasses the raw emotions, candid moments, and genuine connections shared throughout your celebration, ensuring that no significant memory goes undocumented.  Typically you can estimate approx. 50 images per hour.

What is your photography style?

My photography style can be described as timeless, candid, and authentic. I strive to capture genuine moments and real emotions, allowing your unique connection to shine through in each image. From candid shots that capture spontaneous laughter to beautifully composed portraits, my goal is to create a collection of photographs that narrate your love story with grace and sincerity.

How Does Payment Work?

I strive to make the payment process as convenient and flexible as possible. I offer multiple options to accommodate your preferences, along with payment plans. You can make secure payments using major credit cards, providing you with a hassle-free and convenient way to settle your balance. Additionally, I also accept e-transfers, allowing you to transfer funds directly from your bank account. Whichever method you choose, rest assured that your payment information is handled securely and with the utmost confidentiality.

How Do I Book You?

Booking with me is simple and ensures that your special day is secured on my calendar. To reserve your date, a non-refundable retainer is required (a policy that allows me to dedicate my time and resources to capturing your love story with undivided attention and care.) along with a signed contract. The retainer serves as a commitment fee, guaranteeing my availability exclusively for you.  As the date approaches, the final payment is due 14 days prior to the booking date. This allows ample time to take care of any remaining balance and ensure a seamless experience on your special day.   

I understand that budgeting for your wedding is essential. To support you in this process, I offer payment plans. We can work together to create a customized payment schedule that suits your needs, ensuring that you can comfortably manage the investment in your wedding photography. 

What Happens If You Can’t
Be At Our Wedding?

I understand the importance of having your chosen photographer present on your special day, and I will do my absolute best to be there. However, in the rare event that unforeseen circumstances prevent me from attending your wedding, I have a reliable and talented community of fellow photographers who are part of my network. These photographers share a similar style and approach to capturing beautiful moments, ensuring that the essence and quality of my work are maintained.

If such a situation were to occur, I would work closely with you to select a trusted photographer from my network who aligns with your vision and preferences. I would ensure that they have all the necessary details and guidance to seamlessly step in and capture your wedding day. Rest assured, I would personally oversee the editing process to ensure that your photographs reflect the style and storytelling that you expect from my work.

Please note that this is a precautionary measure, and I make every effort to be present at each wedding I book. I value the trust you place in me, and I take my commitment to capturing your special moments with the utmost dedication and professionalism.

What If We Cancel/Reschedule Our Date?

When you secure your wedding or elopement date with me, a non-refundable retainer fee is required. This retainer fee serves as a commitment and ensures that your chosen date is exclusively reserved for you. In the unfortunate event that you need to cancel or reschedule your wedding, the retainer fee would be forfeited.

I understand that unexpected circumstances may arise, and I am committed to working with you to find a solution that best suits your needs. If you need to reschedule your date, I will make every effort to accommodate the new date, subject to my availability. Please keep in mind that rescheduling is subject to the availability of both the new date and my services.

I highly recommend discussing any potential changes with me as early as possible to explore available options and minimize any inconvenience. I genuinely care about capturing your special day, and I will do my best to provide flexibility and support during the rescheduling process.

How Long Have You
Been A Photographer?

 I have been passionately capturing moments behind the lens for 9 years.

Over this time, I have honed my skills, developed my artistic style, and gained invaluable experience in the world of photography. Throughout these years, I have had the privilege of documenting countless love stories and preserving cherished memories for couples like you. My dedication to capturing timeless and authentic images continues to grow, and I am excited to bring my expertise and creativity to your wedding or elopement.

Will You Photoshop Us?

As an advocate for natural beauty and authenticity, my approach to retouching is focused on enhancing the best version of you while maintaining your genuine appearance. I believe in capturing real moments and celebrating your unique features. I will carefully retouch any temporary blemishes or minor imperfections that may be present on the day of the shoot, such as acne or small marks. However, I do not alter your overall appearance or body shape. My goal is to create images that showcase your true essence, reflecting the genuine emotions and connections shared during your wedding or elopement.

What Happens If The Weather Is Bad?

Rain or shine, I am fully committed to capturing the beautiful moments between you during our session. I embrace the spontaneity and unique atmosphere that different weather conditions can bring to your photographs. My clients are the kind of individuals who are not afraid to embrace nature's elements and have fun, whether it's getting wet, sandy, or even a bit dirty.

However, if you feel strongly about rescheduling due to inclement weather, I understand. Please note that rescheduling a session is subject to a rescheduling fee, which covers the administrative tasks and preparation involved in adjusting the session logistics. We can work together to find a suitable alternative date that aligns with both our schedules.

Ultimately, my priority is to create a memorable and enjoyable experience for you, while ensuring the highest quality of photographs. Regardless of the weather, I will adapt and find creative ways to capture your unique connection and the emotions of the moment.

What Do We Wear To Our Photoshoot?

When you book your session with me, I want to ensure that you look and feel your best in your photographs. To help you plan your outfits and prepare for the session, I provide a comprehensive "What to Wear Guide and How to Prepare Guide." These resources offer valuable tips, suggestions, and inspiration on selecting outfits that will beautifully complement the location, setting, and overall mood of your photoshoot.

The "What to Wear Guide" will give you guidance on color palettes, coordinating outfits, and dressing for different seasons or themes. It will help you create a cohesive and visually appealing look for you and your partner. Additionally, the "How to Prepare Guide" will provide you with practical suggestions on hair, makeup, accessories, and any other preparations that can enhance your experience and the outcome of your photographs.

I encourage you to review these guides and reach out to me if you have any questions or need further assistance. Your input and personal style preferences are also important, and I am more than happy to collaborate with you to ensure that your outfits reflect your individuality and capture your authentic selves.

Do You Offer Discounts?

While I don't offer discounts on my regular sessions, I occasionally provide discounted sessions called "Minis" at specific times throughout the year. These Mini sessions are a great opportunity to capture beautiful moments at a reduced rate. I announce these special sessions on my website and social media platforms, so be sure to keep an eye out for any upcoming promotions.

Please note that even though Minis offer a discounted rate, they still provide the same level of quality and attention to detail as my regular sessions. They are a wonderful way to capture memories in a shorter time frame and are popular for families, couples, or individuals looking for a more condensed photography experience.

I believe in offering fair and competitive pricing for my services, ensuring that every client receives exceptional value and a memorable photography experience. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the available session options in more detail, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly.

What Is Your Turnaround?

I understand that receiving your photographs in a timely manner is important to you.
My typical turnaround time for sessions is 3-4 weeks. During this time, I carefully curate and edit your photos, ensuring that each image reflects the beauty and emotions of your session.

For weddings and elopements, my turnaround time is slightly longer, typically ranging from 6-12 weeks.
This extended timeframe allows me to dedicate the necessary attention to detail in post-production to deliver a comprehensive gallery that truly captures the essence of your special day.

Please keep in mind that these are general estimates, and I always strive to deliver your photographs as promptly as possible without compromising quality. I understand the excitement of reliving the memories captured during your session or wedding, and I aim to provide you with stunning images that you can cherish for a lifetime.

How Does Travel Expenses Work?

I am always ready to travel and capture beautiful moments wherever they may take us!

If I am already in the area where your session or wedding is taking place, I do not charge for travel expenses. However, if you are looking to book your session or wedding outside of the city or area where I am currently located, there are travel expenses to consider. These expenses typically include accommodations, per diem, and current travel rates for mileage.

I believe in transparency and fairness when it comes to travel expenses. I work closely with my clients to discuss and plan for any travel-related costs upfront, ensuring that there are no surprises along the way. By providing accurate and upfront information about these expenses, we can collaboratively make the necessary arrangements to bring your vision to life in the desired location.

If you have specific questions or would like to discuss the travel expenses in more detail for your session or wedding, please feel free to reach out to me directly. I am here to guide you through the process and make it as seamless as possible.

Are you LGBTQ-friendly?

Absolutely! Love knows no boundaries, and I wholeheartedly support and celebrate all forms of love. As an LGBTQ-friendly photographer, I create a safe and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and valued. Your love story is unique, and I am honored to be a part of it, regardless of your sexual orientation or gender identity.

Do You Photograph Families, Branding, Etc.?

 While my heart is primarily dedicated to capturing the love and connection between couples, it doesn't mean that I don't venture into other photography realms. I genuinely enjoy the diversity of capturing different subjects and moments. If you are interested in a family session, branding session, or any other type of photography, please don't hesitate to reach out and inquire!

I believe in the power of storytelling through images, and I am always excited to explore new opportunities and expand my portfolio. Whether it's documenting precious family moments, creating impactful branding visuals, or capturing other special occasions, I am open to discussing your unique photography needs and tailoring a session that aligns with your vision.

Feel free to contact me with your specific requirements or ideas, and we can explore the possibilities together. I'm here to ensure that your photography experience is personalized, meaningful, and captures the essence of the moments you wish to preserve.
