Best Wedding Decision!

I don't even know where to begin. From our very first meeting to our wedding day, the Coconut Creative team were so wonderful. On our big day they made us feel so at ease and comfortable. They truly became like family. They took such incredible photos and video of the day. This was truly the best decision we made on our wedding day. They were able to capture the love and joy so perfectly. Cannot recommend them enough!

Best In The Business

David and Justina are top notch! Our engagement photoshoot turned out amazing, and we can't wait to see the wedding day photos and video. The Coconut team are so professional and personable, they made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. One of their videographers, Liam, even proactively offered his belt because one of the groomsman packed the wrong belt. Talk about going above and beyond! My parents even shared the next day that they're so impressed with the team because you can tell how passionate they are about capturing the perfect shot. I highly recommend The Coconut Creative for any and all photo/video shoots!

13/10 would recommend working with justina & david ๐Ÿฒต

Jokes aside, from the get-go, we fell in love with their professionalism. We had interviews with 5 different photographers for our wedding. They really stood out with their jaw-dropping portfolio and presentation slides. We had our wedding on a typical, rainy day in Vancouver this October, but Justina and David never stopped smiling (how can you be so loveable and sweet even after 8 hours in the rain with heavy gear?). My fiance is extremely camera shy around strangers and he just bloomed in every single shot we received. They really made us feel at ease.

Their photography/videography style is exactly what we dreamed of: romantic and natural; nothing too saturated or overexposed. The engagement photos we received were out of this world (I had to include the pic with our Jeep); and the wedding photos/video are just oh-so-lovely. This power couple is also very responsive and always available! We were shocked by how early we received their masterpiece. As much as we love them, we secretly don't want them to get famous so we only know them... We are definitely going back for more family portraits in the future and we highly recommend you to do the same as well.
