Let's make a history book full of your life, with photographs that feel real. My commitment to you is to create and document beautiful + fun + emotional portraits of you two; genuine, joy filled candids; photos that make you giggle; family portraits to hang on your wall; emotion filled moments that may bring a wave of tears or a gush of laughter; my goal is to photograph your wedding day as it is.
My favourite photographs from my own life, and the favourites from my clients are always the ones that make us feel something, the ones that bring your right back to that moment. My goal always is to document moments there are filled with joy, tears, wild dancing, quiet moments, kids doing funny stuff, families together all in one place, + LOVE (duh).
Let's make a history book full of your life, with photographs that FEEL LIKE MEMORIES. My commitment to you is to create and document beautiful + fun + emotional portraits of you two; genuine, joy filled candids; photos that make you giggle; family portraits to hang on your wall; emotion filled moments that may bring a wave of tears or a gush of laughter; my goal is to photograph your wedding day as it is.
Editorial meets documentary. Honest. Intentional. Timeless. Fun. Genuine. My goal is to deliver photographs that you can look back in 2 or 20 years, and you'll still be sparked with a memory + a feeling. My goal is to create images that show who you are, not just what you wore that day. My shooting approach is documentary with a hint of stylizing; my editing style is reminiscent of film with a pinch of modern, mood & romance, but always something that will stay timeless.
Yes! I love shooting 35mm film film and proudly offer it as an add on to wedding packages and by request for couple, engagement, and family sessions. More info here.
Good things take time! Between 8 - 12 weeks after your wedding (depending on the season). You can expect previews a day or 2 after! You will receive them in a beautiful online gallery that you can easily share; download your high res file; and order prints and albums from a professional print shop!
The number of images depends on how many hours I cover your wedding and what your wedding is like (for example, if you have a ton going on with a large guest list, there will usually be more photos). Typically I deliver anywhere from 500 - 800 images for an 8 hour day.
Absolutely! Send me an email and I can share a few recent galleries.
Yes! While you can download + print photos yourself, through your online gallery you have access to professional print shop with an array of beautiful products that are easy to order. Fine art albums that are personally designed by yours truly can be directly ordered from me.
Yes! I know you don't see a ton of family photos on here, but I'll always make sure to help you work your schedule to find time for these important things.
Unless you're a professional model, you probably will feel uncomfortable at first, and that's very normal! For 80% of the day, you don't even need to think about the fact that there's a camera walking around. For the hour of portraits, I'll get you moving, hugging, talking; and in a bit of time you'll get back to feeling yourself. We will make beautiful, awkward, fun, honest, and memorable pictures.
Most weddings and elopements I photograph solo - I love being able to blend in to photograph the candid + quiet moments. You will always have the option to book a second if you like! Second photographers are great when logistically it'd be impossible to have coverage in two places at once; when the guest list is 150 or more; or anytime you just want extra coverage.
Kelowna is home #1, Vancouver is home #2 - there are no travel fees for weddings within the Okanagan, weddings in the Greater Vancouver area are subject to a small travel fee. I will also happily travel, take me with you!
Yes and yes.
Funny you should ask, I have a list right here. Click here to see my favourite people + teams!

Additional reschedules or reschedules for other reason are subject to a rescheduling fee.
Inquire about your date by sending me a message using the form on my contact page! I’ll send you all the details + pricing info and we can schedule a video chat or coffee date (if you’re local to Kelowna!) to get to know each other and chat about your wedding!
To officially book me as your wedding photographer, I take a 50% deposit, and we’ll all sign a contract.
Once we’re booked, we can figure out the fun details like your engagement session! From here on out, I got your back if you need timeline help, location recommendations, etc. Don’t hesitate to reach out! I can’t wait to celebrate you + document your day (:

"The way she captured our day brings us right back to the way we felt in the moment. We are so thankful to have the images that so perfectly captured not only the moments, but the feeling of our wedding."
