Do you photograph elopements & smaller weddings?

Yes! I love intimate weddings & elopements!

Especially in the time of covid, many couples have been reimagining their wedding days. And the drift towards smaller, more intimate weddings is growing in popularity.

Elopements & intimate weddings offer you the opportunity to create a wedding day that is a full & beautiful reflection of your love for one another & the things you love to do. Make a day of it & make it an adventure! Tiny weddings are celebrations of your unique & fabulous walk-into-marriage. Less folks = more time + energy to craft a wedding day that is perfectly yours.

Do you photograph engagement sessions & are they included in your wedding packages?

Yes, i love engagement sessions!

They’re a fabulous way for us to get to know one another with camera in hand. And, most importantly, they're a wonderful opportunity to capture this exciting time in your relationship! They offer a chance to change up locations, clothing choices (if you like) & concentrate on photographing the truth of your beautiful connection, this path leading to your wedding day. I offer engagement sessions as add-ons to my wedding packages.

Do you use a second shooter or associate?

I’m a bit of a one-woman-band when it comes to photography. I work in a ninja-like & unobtrusive way to capture a wide range of honest, heartfelt images for you. It’s what i love & do best.

That said, if you have a very large wedding or would truly prefer having a second shooter, i have a list of other fabulous professionals, (who’s work is similar to my own), who i’m happy to hire as a 2nd photographer. These are other working professionals, not assistants but 2nd shooters.

The cost for a 2nd photographer begins at $700.

Do you travel?

Yes.

Most of the weddings i photograph are on vancouver island & the gulf islands. And the place couples gather to walk into marriage feature strongly in my photographs. Their venue location is often as dear to them as the folks they're gathering with.

With all the changes covid has brought, i am limiting my travel commissions for 2021 & 2022.

If you're planning a 'destination' wedding, please do get in touch.

Are you insured?

Yes!

Do you have back-up gear?

Yes, absolutely.

I always carry a variety of professional quality cameras & lenses. So no matter what happens, i’m able to beautifully photograph the moments of your day.

Do your packages include the digital files?

Yes!

It’s important you have the finalized high-resolution photos for back-up and years of safe keeping. Collections include the high-resolution files (for back-up & printing) + web sized photos (for online/social).

Each of my Collections also include either a selection of 5"x7" prints or a Fine Art Photo Book. Because as valuable as the digital files are, it’s great to remember those beautiful moments need to be printed! In this rapidly changing digital age, printed photographs are increasingly more valuable.

Are all the photos we receive on our usb & gallery edited?

Yes & yes!

Every photo you receive is fully edited. The processing you see of my work is what you'll see reflected in every photograph you take home.

How many photographs will we receive?

Wedding packages include between 700 – 1000+ fully edited, print-ready photographs.

Elopement packages include between  100 - 600+ fully edited, print-ready photographs.

When will we receive our photos?

Your final gallery & usb are delivered 6-12 weeks after your wedding day.

What about your online gallery?

You’ll receive a beautiful gallery with all of your finalized photos. It’s a fabulous way to share your photos with family and friends. There's also a boutique shop in the gallery where i offer guaranteed gorgeous print products - prints, canvas wraps, framed photos, soft & hard cover photo books, calendars, thank you cards & more. It's a simple way for you, your family & friends to get your favourite wedding day photos off the screen & into your hands & home.

Do you offer photo books?

Yes. And they’re truly gorgeous!

I work with a boutique Canadian book-making company. And together we produce truly beautiful keepsakes that hold the story of your walk into marriage. Your first family heirloom!

Creating the layout of your photo book is a collaboration. So you leave with a book that holds your favourite moments from your wedding day beautifully laid out on those pages. Seeing your wedding day reflected in a custom designed photo book allows you to relive those moments every time you open up the pages.
