DOCUMENTING IN VANCOUVER AND BEYOND
your people matter to you
your photos of them do too
Wedding Photography for couples who value connection over perfection
CHANGE TO PARAGRAPH ABOUT WHO THE COUPLE IS - A wedding is the one time you have both sides of your families and friends in one place. It’s the biggest party you’ll probably ever throw and if there’s ever one party will ask about it’s this one. I promise to photograph your wedding with this in mind, these aren’t just guests. They are your people - the ones who've known you before you could walk, gone through the awkward phase with you, and helped you become who you are today. Your people matter to you and your photos of them do too.
Vancouver Wedding Photographer
you want photos that actually feel like you
You want to be in the moment more than anything else. You want to be fully and honestly who you are and you want that for your loved ones too. You care about how your weddings feels, rather than what looks perfect. You want an album that reminds you what it felt like on that day with your favourite people . It’s a day that only happens once, even the moments can’t be redone with the same meaning and emotion. This day is a big deal.

Hey I’m Val,
GLAD YOU’RE HERE!
I believe you should live your day embracing each tear and hug that comes first, and the photos come from those moments.
After years of photographing weddings, I’ve found the best photos are the ones that come from the moments that unfold between you and the ones you love, whether it’s the one you’re saying your vows to, the ones by your side as you say them, or the ones silently tearing in the first row.
I’m not about faking what isn’t there, but honouring what is and documenting however it looks - big and loud, or intimate and quiet.
