Vancouver Wedding Photographer | Downtown Urban Wedding Venue - The Permanent
A downtown Vancouver Rainy Wedding Day
In typical Vancouver, BC fashion the day started out overcast but in typical Vancouver fashion the sky opened up and let the rain come pouring down. This was their wedding day and they wanted it documented just as it was, rain and all. The Permanent was the perfect location to capture the Urban feel of this downtown Vancouver wedding ceremony.
Chilliwack Lake | Katy & Dustin | Chilliwack Engagement Photographer
Chilliwack Engagement Photographer
I won’t get up before sunrise for just anyone… but if it’s to capture your love story, you bet I will. I met Katy and Dustin for their gorgeous Chilliwack Lake Engagement session just before the sun came up and I’m not gonna lie it was cold, really cold but Katy & Dustin were troopers.
We spent some time chatting and exploring Chilliwack Lake before we headed down the road to do some ‘bush wacking’ as I was taught to call it as a young child. Dustin was in his element but Katy wasn’t phazed by it either as she showed us she most definitly could climb the morning dew mountain side in a dress!.

Swaneset is a grand fairy tale wedding venue nestled along the coastal mountains in Pitt Meadows, BC. Whether you choose to say your vows indoors or outdoors, you will not be disappointed.
Fall Wedding at Swaneset
Swaneset is a grand fairy tale wedding venue nestled along the coastal mountains in Pitt Meadows, BC. Whether you choose to say your vows indoors or outdoors, you will not be disappointed. The floor to ceiling windows overlooking the golf course and the lush green surroundings truly make it the most picturesque location for your reception, and is one of my favourite locations for wedding photos.
Fall at Swaneset is one of my absolute favourite wedding venues to photograph outdoors, the colours are absolutely gorgeous on the garden terrace.
After H & D said their heartfelt vows in front of not only their closest friends and family, but also their sweet fur baby we drove 10 minutes down the road to take their wedding portraits with the gorgeous cascade mountain range. Afterwards, we took some quick wedding party portraits on the golf course and then headed to the back of the property for some champagne shenanigans.
When it comes to fairytale wedding venues, it’s hard to beat Swaneset Bay Resort & Country Club. The venue is almost dream like, the perfect slate for your dream wedding.

Abbotsford Newborn Photographer| At Home Newborn Session| Welcome Baby Henry
An At Home Newborn Session in Coquitlam, BC
I was present at sweet Henry’s birth so it was so amazing to come back a few days later to see just how truly in love his parents are with him.
Vancouver Maternity Photographer- Buntzen Lake- Chrystal & Mike
Maternity session in Anmore, BC
I met Chrystal and Mike in August 2019 at a wedding that I was photographing when Chrystal was only a few weeks pregnant. She was so excited for the birth of their first baby and wanted to do maternity photos at a location that had amazing views. Fast forward to late Fall after wedding season was over and we met up at Buntzen Lake in beautiful Anmore, BC.
It was a beautiful but freezing cold day and Chrystal powered through our whole session despite being cold. Good thing I had my trusty hot pockets to give her to warm her hands between poses! Thanks for being such a trooper and braving the cold with me.
As it was my first time going to Buntzen Lake I didn’t know that there was no cel service! So if you do head out there exploring make sure you know this going in… it was quite the adventure trying to find my way back to the highway after our session without my trusty google maps!
Wishing you both all the best and I can’t wait to me your sweet baby!
Abbotsford Wedding Photographer | Bakerview Mennonite Brethren Church & Eighteen Pastures Golf Course, Mission, BC | Emilia & Andy
I met up with them shortly before they said their wedding vows at the gorgeous Bakerview Mennonite Brethren Church in Abbotsford, BC. After the ceremony we headed off to Eighteen Pastures in Mission, BC where we spent the afternoon exploring the grounds by Golf Cart.
When I first met Emilia and Andy for their engagement session earlier this year in Chilliwack, BC they came across as this quite and sweet couple. Never in a million years did I expect to laugh as loud and as hard as I did while photographing their wedding this past Friday afternoon. I met up with them shortly before they said their wedding vows at the gorgeous Bakerview Mennonite Brethren Church in Abbotsford, BC. After the ceremony we headed off to Eighteen Pastures in Mission, BC where we spent the afternoon exploring the grounds by Golf Cart. Had I not been holding on for dear life during our Golf Cart adventures I likely would have taken some video footage, but alas keeping myself and my camera safely in the almost sideways Golf Cart was the priority, trust me though, it was hilarious! Here is a sneak peak of their wedding day.
Emilia was absolutely stunning and Andy couldn’t stop staring at her all day. Their day was filled with so much love AND laughter and I couldn’t have imagined a better day for them to celebrate their love and devotion for each other. Congratulations Emilia and Andy!
Chilliwack Family Photographer | Unruh Family | Backyard Portrait Session
Chilliwack Family Photographer
The Unruh’s
I photographed this amazing family in their home in early November in Chilliwack, BC.
Stacy and Mike have trusted me to capture their family for the past few years now and I absolutely adore spending time with them and their girls. During their recent Day in the Life Session we took 20 minutes to update their family pictures for Stacy’s galley wall in her dining room. I adore that we didn’t leave the comforts of their home and all these pictures were captured in their own backyard. Family pictures don’t have to be uncomfortable or stressful, they just have to be you.

Surrey Wedding Photographer | Cloverdale CR Church and Redwood Forest| David + Julianna
David and Julianna's wedding day started with threats of an epic rain storm but instead we were greeted with sunshine and the most epic storm clouds. After photographing Julianna getting ready with her closest friends and family we arrived at the Cloverdale Reformed Church for a first look with David and their beautiful and heartfelt wedding ceremony.
Afterwards we loaded up the RV and headed to Redwod Park in Surrey, BC to capture David and Julianna’s love for each other and some crazy shenanigans with their wedding party! I haven’t laughed that hard during wedding party photos in a long time, especially when the bridesmaids dropped the groom!
… and when your heart knows… it knows. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness.
Chilliwack Wedding Photographer | The Falls Golf Course | Kandice + Tyler | Chilliwack, BC
The Falls Golf Club is gorgeous in itself, but the breath taking views of the Fraser Valley at sunset really cannot be beat!
I adore this little venue. Whether you choose to have an outdoor ceremony on the front lawn or the indoor setting- they are both perfect. The wedding coordinator on staff is phenomenal and my experience is that they go above and beyond to ensure your wedding day is exactly how you envisioned it.
Kandice and Tyler’s wedding was no exception. We had such amazing weather and it truly made me fall in love with Fall weddings all over again. As you all know I adore children, especially at weddings, and their children were no exception! Their toddler stole the show for most of the day, including ALL the golf balls all day long!
The Falls Golf Club is gorgeous in itself, but the breath taking views of the Fraser Valley at sunset really cannot be beat and with Kandice and Tyler’s wedding running late due to an accident on the highway delaying their ceremony we were able to capture the amazing Fall sunset as part of their wedding portrait time.
Chilliwack Wedding Photographer| Robbie & Kristy Wedding Sneak Peak | Secret Garden at Woodbridge Pond
Here in the Canadian Pacific Northwest rain is just a part of our lives and Robbie and Kristy’s wedding at the Secret Garden in Chilliwack, BC was no exception. However, this did not phase these two, or their guests. Robbie and Kristy have been together for years and the emotion that was seen on their wedding day, not only between them but all their friends and family had me in tears through out the day. This my friends is what marrying your best friend looks like.
Here is a sneak peak of their day… Click on the play head on the wedding bouquet!
Chilliwack Engagement Photographer | Brandon + Rebecka | Chilliwack Lake, BC
Rainy, Snow and Sleet… just another day in the Fraser Valley’s Pacific North West.
A few months back I met with Brandon and Rebecka to chat about their upcoming wedding at Whonnock Lake. I remember admiring their attention to details- the ones most important to them- the assurance that everyone at their wedding be honoured and respected for who they were. I assured them, that I would never have it any other way, and after playing some hot wheels with their little guy and finishing up our donuts from the Harvest Cafe we were well on our way to planning the most epic engagement session!
Fast forward to the days leading up to their engagement session, it rained… and rained and got colder and colder. We talked about postponing but looking at the forecast it didn’t look like it would be getting better anytime soon, and as life in the PNW goes… the show must go on!
“I find more love in a storm with you than a thousand sunny days without”
Chilliwack Engagment Photographer | A Surprise Proposal | Jim + Val
An Engagement Session at Cultus Lake, BC after a surprise proposal.
It’s hard to put into words all the emotions I’ve gone through holding onto the news that one of my oldest and dearest friends was going to propose to his girl. He’s always been my biggest supporter and has always had my back- like 32 yrs of having someone’s back is a LONG time.
We often talk about the good ol’ days of being rowdy teenagers but honestly what I cherish most is the loyalty, the positivity, the strength his words give and the love of a solid friendship. Secret meetings and phone calls and parking lot dodges as we worked towards keeping this marriage proposal a surprise will forever make me laugh. I was beyond honoured to be asked to witness one of my besties profess his love and commitment to his forever this afternoon.
Jimmy & Val I wish you both a lifetime of happiness, laughter and SLAYER. Always SLAYER.
So after some bush whacking and some quick engagement pictures we headed to the pub together for a drink. The old locals must have been laughing at us as we tried over and over to get an in focus picture of the three of us in the dimly lit pub. It's not perfect but its the epitomy of joy to me.
