INFO
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.
Honest. Documentary. Intentional. Timeless. My goal is to deliver photographs that you can look back in 5 or 50 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.
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 long I cover your wedding. Typically you will receive from 500 - 700 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.

If there is a government mandated lockdown or ban on weddings/elopements due to Covid that makes it impossible for to proceed with your wedding/elopement we can reschedule your date to a mutually agreeable date within 12 months of your original date. Additional reschedules or reschedules for other reason are subject to a rescheduling fee.
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).
