Experience
I have been professionally photographing humans for 13 years now. I started off as a hobbyist photographer after taking some photography classes at Camosun College in Victoria, BC. I soon photographed a friend’s wedding and fell in love with it. The chaos, the nerves, the adrenalin, the excitement, the happiness and even the pressure of it all. And since then I’ve never looked back. Photographing weddings makes you end up being a pretty well rounded photographer because you need to do a little of everything – portraits, candids, details, architecture, THE WORKS. Not to mention the quick thinking on your feet. With regards to maternity photography and family photography I often have wedding client who transition into these new areas of life and call on me to document them (for which I am eternally grateful) so I have many years of experience documenting these exciting life events as well.
VIBES
I strive to make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed in front of my camera – I understand you aren’t models! I get to know all my couples BEFORE we start working together that I can understand who you truly are and what you want out of our time together. During your engagement photos or wedding day, my vibe is both letting the both of you just BE and giving you prompts and directions to get those genuine smiles out of you and interact with each other in a way that is genuine to your relationship. My relaxed approach lets you show up as yourself and make authentic memories.

frequently asked questions
What types of weddings do you shoot?
I specialize in intimate weddings and elopements because these are the events that I connect the most with. I love being able to spend time with the wedding couple as well as their guests on the day of. I find that the more intimate the wedding and the more I can hang out with all of the guests, the better the photos I capture because I make a connection with everyone involved. I use a guest count of approximately 50 and under as an intimate wedding distinction but please don’t hesitate to reach out if you are having slightly more people than that attend – I will never say no to a client who I jive with just based on numbers!
What are the benefits of an engagement session?
Engagement sessions are the bomb because it allows us to hang out in person and get to know each other before the wedding day. You will be able to see how I direct you and pose you and I will get to see how the two of you interact. This is the time we can work out the kinks and you will obviously get some photos out of the experience which is great for invites, saves the dates, wedding websites and just to document this special time in your lives!
How far in advance should we think about booking you for our wedding or elopement?
I book 1-2 years in advance, particularly for weekend dates from May – October. The sooner you reach out the better!
Do your wedding packages come with an engagement session?
My packages do not come with an engagement session but I do offer them as add ons and highly recommend doing so!
How many hours of coverage do you provide on a wedding day?
My packages range from 1 hour to 4 hours. With that being said if you think you need more time, I am happy to talk about it and make you a custom package.
Do you offer other sessions besides weddings?
ABSOLUTELY! Although weddings are my main jam I also offer couples sessions, maternity sessions and family sessions. I’ve also been known to shoot a boudoir session or two for the right client 🙂

why i became a wedding photographer in Victoria, BC
What started out as me deciding I needed a hobby and taking some post secondary photography classes soon turned into a passion of mine. I always felt like I had a creative side but it was a mystery to me what that could be (my drawings and paintings are so tragic it’s literally laughable). So when I found I was actually really good at photography and my teachers were noticing, it lit me up. So began the journey of my business and finding myself.
On a deeper level, photography is so important to me because I’ve lost some of the most significant people in my life. Photos are truly the only thing I have left of them and I don’t think that until you experience a big loss that you can really appreciate how important pictures are. These days I get emails and messages here and there about how a loved one had passed away and how grateful they are that I captured them at their wedding. And truly this is why I do what I do. This and the connection that I get to form with all my clients. I’ve been there to capture the happiest days of their lives and sometimes the some really sad ones too. They are all beautiful and important and I am eternally grateful for the trust and vulnerability of every single person that’s stepped in front of my lens.
