Vancouver Wedding Photography That Feels Like You
After photographing more than 400 weddings since 2012, I’ve come to appreciate that the photographs that matter most are often the ones you couldn’t have planned. A fleeting glance, a familiar laugh, the people who mean the most to you, all coming together in a day that passes far too quickly. Knowing when to step in and when to step back is what allows those moments to unfold naturally.
Based in Vancouver, I’ve spent years photographing weddings throughout the city and the Lower Mainland, from historic estates and elegant downtown hotels to intimate outdoor celebrations. Every setting has its own character, and experience teaches you how to work with the light, adapt to the unexpected and find the moments that make each wedding its own.
My approach combines candid observation with thoughtful direction. I’ll guide you when it helps, put you at ease in front of the camera and make the most of the time we have together, without turning your wedding into a series of photo opportunities. There’s room for beautiful portraits, but just as much room for the day to unfold as it should.
Ultimately, I want your photographs to do more than remind you how everything looked. I want them to bring you back to how it felt: the atmosphere, the people around you, and the moments you may not have even realized were happening. Images that feel true to you now, and become more meaningful with time.
In a visual culture obsessed with the “now,” I focus entirely on the “forever.” I don’t chase trends, and I don’t rely on gimmicks. Instead, I bring 14 years of technical mastery to the unscripted moments of your day. My goal is simple: to create a collection of images that feels undeniably “you” – refined, authentic, and immune to the passing of time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I typically provide up to 100 images per hour of coverage.
03/

I guarantee that you’ll have your photos within six to eight weeks of your wedding.
04/
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THIS?
I established my company in 2012. Since then, I have documented over 400 weddings across the globe. This longevity means I have encountered nearly every lighting scenario, weather condition, and timeline challenge imaginable—experience that allows me to deliver consistent, high-caliber work regardless of the circumstances.
05/
DO YOU TRAVEL?
Yes. While based in Vancouver, a significant portion of my work takes place internationally, with a focus on Europe and Southern Africa. I am well-versed in the logistics of destination weddings and carry a custom travel kit to ensure consistent, editorial results anywhere in the world.
06/
DO YOU EDIT EACH IMAGE?
Absolutely. Every image delivered is individually graded for color, exposure, and tone to match my signature aesthetic. The result is a cohesive gallery that flows seamlessly from start to finish. For key portraits, I also apply light retouching to ensure a polished, print-ready finish that remains true to life.
07/
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?
Editorial yet unscripted. I bring a directorial eye to your portraits—ensuring you look your absolute best—while capturing the rest of the day with a quiet, documentary approach. No stiff posing, just you, captured with timeless precision.
08/
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?
I typically accept commissions 12 to 18 months in advance. As I limit the number of weddings I take per season to ensure focus, prime summer dates tend to fill quickly. To secure your date, a signed contract and a 50% retainer are required.
