Most couples don’t talk about this part. It’s not

Most couples don’t talk about this part.
It’s not the vows that make them nervous. It’s the feeling of being watched.
You deserve to experience your wedding day — not manage it.
If you’re planning a 2026 or 2027 wedding on Vancouver Island and want your photos to feel natural, present, and true to you, you can learn more through the link in my bio.

Some of the most meaningful wedding photos I’ve ta

Some of the most meaningful wedding photos I’ve taken happened when plans quietly fell apart.
.
Your wedding photos don’t need perfect conditions to be beautiful.
.
Somewhere along the way, we started treating weddings like controlled environments.
Perfect light. Clear skies. Everything on time.
Real life rarely cooperates like that.
.
Wind shows up.
Rain drifts in sideways.
Timelines stretch. Shoes get muddy.
None of that ruins the day — it just changes the texture of it.
.
The photos people come back to aren’t usually the ones where everything behaved.
They’re the ones where emotion took over and no one bothered to fix it.
.
I’ve watched couples relax the moment they realize they don’t have to fight the day they’re having.
That’s when shoulders drop.
That’s when things start to feel real.
.
Working on Vancouver Island teaches you this quickly.
You plan thoughtfully, you stay flexible, and you learn how to see beauty in whatever shows up.
That skill matters more than a perfect forecast ever will.
.
If you want photos that feel honest — even when the day doesn’t go exactly as planned —
let’s talk.
You don’t need perfect conditions. You just need the right support.

Family photos don’t need perfect smiles to feel me

Family photos don’t need perfect smiles to feel meaningful.

What matters most to me during family sessions isn’t how things look — it’s how everyone feels while we’re together.
There’s no expectation to sit still, look at the camera, or have it all “together.”
I work quietly, offering just enough guidance to keep things moving, and plenty of space for kids to be kids and parents to breathe.
The pauses, the movement, the little glances and hugs in between — that’s where things soften.
I care about creating an experience that feels relaxed, not rushed or over-managed.
Because when families feel comfortable, the moments that unfold are honest.

If this is the kind of experience you want for your family, I’d love to connect.

Just a few favourite projects from the busiest and most incredible year yet ✨
.
From calm winter days prepping and planning, to sun-soaked garden venues, joyful celebrations, and big personal projects — 2025 was packed with moments that made me pause, smile, and feel so grateful.

I’m incredibly thankful for the clients who put their trust in me and continue to support this small business — your confidence and kindness mean the world 🤍

Feeling equally grateful for the friends and family who showed up, checked in, and supported me through such a memorable and full year. Excited to see what creativity and celebrations 2026 will bring!

August in Squamish with people who feel most at home outside.

Quiet moments, big views, and plenty of space to be yourselves.

Mountains or ocean — which one feels more you?
