Hello lovers,
I am pleased to provide wedding & elopement photography and videography services and connect you with talented floral designers, hair and makeup artists, local jewellers and the most unique venues.
I am fascinated by capturing something in the way that I truly see it. Inspiring, truthful, charged with this sense of beauty and grand. Photographing people can be a deeply emotional thing for me. Getting to peek into someone else’s true and authentic life is one of the highest honours one could enjoy. I fall in love with the people who trust me enough to let their true selves emerge from my photographs of them.
You wonder if another human will ever be able to capture your story the way you want it told, or even better, surprise you with a story that you never knew about yourself. A great joy in my life is finding beauty in the simple, unnoticed details that often reveal the most authentic insights into who we are.
This work can be as satisfying for me as it is for you, and that’s why I treat every session as if it were the most important I’ve ever shot.
British Columbia is a well-known worldwide destination. Renowned for its rocky alpine, mountainous peaks, riverbanks, world-class skiing and mountain biking, and inland temperate rainforest, its magnitude appeal can tell its own story.
The familiarity of travel in my line of work takes me places near and far. I live between Vancouver Island and the Kootenays at the moment and shooting all along the west coast of America. This coming summer, I will share my time travelling and shooting between Vancouver Island, Victoria, Tofino, North Vancouver Island, and Revelstoke all the way to Norway, Amsterdam and possibly other exotic destinations. My lifelong dream is to use my French nationality to spend more time in French Polynesia (Tahiti), so consider it a sealed deal if your wedding is there! This place is the most beautiful place on earth!
I love that I can explore and quench my thirst for travel while working with you to capture your unforgettable moments on film. The diversity in landscapes sparks my creativity and curiosity immensely.
I am a true adventurer at heart and I will make it my mission to find the perfect place for you to promise your love to each other forever. Most travel is included in my packages and since I am a well-seasoned traveler I know how to keep my expenses down. I would happily canoe, ski, bike, climb, dive, and ride a giraffe (just kidding) to capture that moment for you in the most authentic way possible. I come from action backcountry photography so this is my element of comfort and I know how to take care of people in remote areas.
I plan on sailing to a few exotic destinations this year so meeting in remote world-class and unexplored destinations is an option!

Love is life; an amazing experience, passion, swimming in the ocean, that first sip of coffee in the morning, the greeting of my dog after a long day, a kiss on my forehead before I fall asleep. My language of love is taking photographs.
I hold a passion for the world and an eye for the beauty it contains. I am on a continual journey to seek out and capture the beauty of this world – whether it’s the beauty of some of the most extreme and pristine environments in the world, or the beauty of a person's most personal moments. I photograph in a documentary way, gathering the laughter and the hugs, the goosebumps and the tears of joy.
Throughout my years of living remotely and working in some of the wildest places on earth, I developed a passion for shooting couples in connection with natural landscapes such as alpine peaks, lush rainforests and waterscape.
My calm, grounded and sparkly nature is contagious and gives your wedding day all the comfort, ease and empowerment you need.
I live in BC in the summers and travel through the California & Baha during my winters. I love discovering new places and visiting friends along the way so if your wedding is on the island, in the Okanagan, Kootenays, Nelson, Golden, Banff, Tahiti (I actually also have French Nationality), Indonesia, North Pole or anywhere in between, let me know, I am a dye hearth traveller and really good at keeping my travel expenses reasonable. My faith in experiencing life’s beauty is strong and I adventure with an open heart. Outside of the office, my time is spent skiing, swimming, surfing, travelling, laughing and hosting my friends for yummy dinners by the water.
I'm perfectly imperfect and choosing every day to embrace the story that is my life as gracefully as I can.
My Mantras
I capture weddings using multiple tools: DSLR cameras, drone, GoPro, Cinema Camera, professional sound recording and sometimes underwater cameras (for the water lovers) and always sees through my viewfinder with a passionate and generous eye powered by a full heart.
I thrive on Connecting Brides with the best local vendors, to alleviate some of the coordination stress and to fulfill your dream wedding vision.
I will genuinely keep you having fun and you will be able to think back on your wedding day as unposed, fun and unforgettable.
