Visual storytelling for the wildly in love.

Eloping isn’t just an alternative to a traditional wedding, it’s a deeply intentional way to begin your marriage. For many couples, it offers the freedom to celebrate privately or with a select few, to focus solely on each other, and to turn their vows into an unforgettable adventure. Whether for simplicity, intimacy, or the spirit of exploration, elopements are a beautiful way to start your forever.

FAQ’s

  • Booking 6–12 months in advance is ideal for weddings and elopements, as dates fill quickly.

  • For booking, please complete my inquiry form. To secure your special day, I’ll send over a contract to sign along with a 30% retainer due. Once that’s in place, your date is officially reserved and the planning begins. Your remaining balance will be due 1 week prior to your booked session.

  • I aim to send out a highlight sneak peek gallery within a week.

    Depending on the time of year your elopement takes place, your complete gallery can take up to 12 weeks to be delivered. Peak season is between June-September so you can expect any albums during those months to take a little longer than usual.

  • The amount of photos you receive can range anywhere around 30-50 photos for every hour I am scheduled on your day!

    The fluctuation in number can be due to a few different circumstances including the location of your elopement and the events that occur during that day. The good news is oftentimes I take and send much more than quoted!

  • The answer to this question is always easy... absolutely yes!

    I am so in love with travel and experiencing new locations & environments for capturing different love stories that I will be there in a heartbeat to capture your day. Usually when I get an inquiry for an out of province or international wedding, i'm already looking up flights to your location for your elopement date!

    On that note, I am flexible for travel outside of BC as well as outside of Canada. Send me your dream location and lets make it happen!

  • Yes! My approach is gentle and natural. I’ll guide you with prompts and direction to help you feel comfortable, but the focus is always on capturing real connection, not stiff poses.

  • I’m comfortable shooting in all types of weather and always come prepared. Sometimes the unexpected conditions make for the most magical, cinematic photos.
