About
Hey there!
I’m Vira, your go-to Vancouver Island wedding photographer, living in the gorgeous Sooke, BC. So far, I’ve had the absolute joy of capturing over 100 full-day weddings and countless elopements, and I totally love what I do.
My Style: Storytelling with a Twist
Every wedding is unique—just like you two! My mission? To capture that uniqueness in every shot. With a background in photojournalism, I’m all about that documentary style, telling your story as it unfolds naturally. But don’t worry—I’m not just snapping away. You'll get your group portraits, family and bridal party shots, and many others!
I want your photos to feel like mini works of art! I love playing with creative compositions, natural and off-camera flash lighting, artsy angles and interesting indoor and outdoor backgrounds. All is wrapped up in my signature editing style. The result? Photos that are as bright and special as your love story.
Why Choose Me?
Variety is the spice of life, right? After years in the photography biz, I’ve dipped my toes into everything—commercial product shoots, stunning landscapes, dreamy real estate interiors, you name it. But come the weekend, you’ll find me capturing LOVE.
I’m up for anything—from a sunrise elopement on a mountaintop to a lively wedding celebration with 250 guests. Whatever your style, I’m here to capture it beautifully.
When it comes to your wedding, my experience, creativity, and energy are all yours. My goal? To make sure you’re grinning from ear to ear every time you flip through your wedding album—even years down the road.
Why am I a wedding photographer? Simple: I’m hooked on happiness. I’m here to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments that you’ll treasure forever.
