For the love story that's just yours.
This one's for the two of you, basically an hour of me tagging along while you do your thing. Freshly engaged, five years in, doesn't matter, I just want it to look like the two of you, not a stock photo.
For the moment you'll replay for the rest of your life.
Planning to pop the question? We'll figure out the where and when together ahead of time, so on the day I can basically disappear, blending into a crowd, hiding behind a tree, whatever it takes. You just focus on not dropping the ring. I've got the rest.
For the day that deserves to be remembered right.
Small elopement, backyard ceremony, full-blown wedding day, the size doesn't matter, it still deserves real coverage. We'll figure out together what you actually need, so you're not missing the parts of the day you'll actually want photos of.
Both include:
For the story only you can tell.
This one's just you, however that looks. Maybe it's for a personal brand thing, maybe it's a milestone, maybe you just want photos of yourself you don't immediately hate. Either way, it's an hour built entirely around you.
What if I hate getting my photo taken?
What should we wear?
Where are you based?
Where should I take my photos?
When will I get my photos?
Can I buy physical prints?
Can we collaborate?
Can you provide RAWs?
You're definitely not alone. Honestly, most of my clients tell me this before we even start. Being in front of a camera can feel awkward for almost everyone. So I keep sessions relaxed and low-pressure, and I do most of the heavy lifting: I'll give you little prompts throughout the shoot, some of which might feel a bit silly in the moment (whisper something ridiculous to each other, walk toward me and stop, that kind of thing), but they're basically magic tricks. They get you reacting instead of posing, which is where the good photos actually come from. Most people forget the camera's even there within the first few minutes.
When you're actually having fun instead of performing for the lens, it shows, and those relaxed, real moments end up being the ones you love most.
Wear something that feels like you, that's really the only rule. A few tips if you want them: neutrals and muted tones tend to photograph the most timeless, so I'd lean away from highly saturated colors or busy patterns like reds or checkered prints. You'll thank yourself in five years. Coordinating with your partner usually looks better than matching outfit-for-outfit; think same color family, not identical. And comfort matters more than people expect: if you can't move, sit, or laugh freely in it, it tends to show on camera.
None of this is a dress code though. If you want more specific guidance based on your session's location or time of year, just ask, I'm happy to help.
I'm based in the Lower Mainland, BC. If your session's somewhere more remote, just know travel fees may apply, I'll always let you know upfront.
Vancouver's full of good backdrops. A few of my favorites: Gastown, English Bay, Granville Island, David Lam Park, Spanish Banks, Blue Lagoon, and Queen Elizabeth Park. If you're not sure where to go, that's genuinely part of what I help with, just tell me the vibe you're going for and I'll suggest a spot. (Heads up: I don't currently do indoor/at-home sessions.)
You'll get your online gallery within 4 weeks, sometimes sooner depending on the season. From there you can download everything, share it with people, pick favourites, and order prints straight from the gallery.
Yep. Once your gallery's live, you'll have the option to order prints right from there. Just keep in mind shipping times and methods are set by the print lab, not me, so that part's a little out of my hands.
I'm pretty selective about collaborations, but I'm always open to hearing ideas from models, brands, or other creators. Send me an email with what you're thinking and I'll let you know if it feels like a fit.
No, and here's why: booking me isn't just hiring a camera, it's trusting how I see things. The edited photos are the actual work, the RAWs are just the raw material. So I only hand over the final, fully-edited images, that's the version that's actually mine.
