Hey I’m Val,
a Vancouver wedding photographer
I started photographing weddings when my friends began getting married in 2020—back when guest lists were small and the days felt like cozy dinner parties. What drew me in wasn't just the beauty of the details, but the emotion in the room. The quiet ways people show up for each other. The joy, the nerves, the gratitude—all woven into one day.
Growing up without extended family nearby, I learned that the people we choose to surround ourselves with become our family. Friends became that extension for me. That's what I see on wedding days—the community and connections that couples have built intentionally over time. Today, I work with couples who share that same love for genuine emotion and thoughtful celebration, and I'm honored to document the people who matter most to them.
That's what I try to hold onto in every wedding I photograph—something honest, something lasting, something that honors the relationships that brought you to this moment.
Your people matter to you. Your photos of them should too.
For one day, you have most of your favourite people in the same place all there to celebrate you, support you, and share in something you've spent so long planning. That kind of gathering doesn't happen twice. I want to make sure you have the space to be fully present with them, and the photos to remember it.
Your wedding day won't feel like a photo shoot. You'll be guided gently through portraits when it's helpful, and free to be fully present everywhere else. The result is a full story of your day — the laughter, the tears, the quiet glances, and the candid moments shared with the people you love most. The things that make your wedding truly yours, captured in a way that feels genuine and looks stunning.
joyful, unhurried, and completely yours. just like you want your wedding day to feel.
