Hey, I'm Vanessa! I'm an outdoor Vancouver-based elopement photographer for the empathetic + creative. Adventurous couples hire me to help them remember their weddings with natural photos that capture what's real. I'm super chill, and other than giving you awesome photos, I don't take anything too seriously. I live for golden light, couples in love, and dog kisses, and I'm always up for an adventure! I'm inspired by nature and that wide-awake, super alive feeling you get when you go out into the mountains. If you're planning an outdoor wedding or elopement, then I'm your girl!
The truth is, eloping is an amazing way to get married in its own right. It's a loophole, a life hack. A way to have exactly the wedding day you've always imagined—without any of the fuss you don't care for. This is what makes elopements sooo special. It's also what makes them my favourite type of wedding to document! Do you want to spend the day hiking in the mountains? Going to the beach and splashing in the shallow waves? Getting hitched and eating or just having some drinks? Or, do you want to spend your day at home, barefoot, in PJ's, sharing your vows in your backyard under patio strings lights next to a bonfire? I'm your gal! If you consider yourself pretty chill and low-key, if you feel a bit uncomfortable about the idea of a big wedding, or if you dream of getting married in a more remote location, then it might be right for you! If you're planning to elope and still need to find the right photographer for you, drop me a line. We'll grab a bevvy, chat about your perfect day together, and I'll even help you plan. I can't wait to hear what you've been daydreaming about!

I will capture your day authentically, with a focus on what really matters: your love and connection. If you're looking for a fun adventure and drop-dead gorgeous photos that will document your love story at its best, the 'Get Away' Couples/Engagement Session is perfect for you. Choose any location within 100 kilometres of Vancouver, and over the course of two hours, we'll meet for our session where I'll get to know you and your loved one and capture you two at your most natural, connected selves. I'm here for the snuggles, the laughter, the way you look at each other like no-one else exists. Your love is special; it deserves to be captured in photographs. As an internationally-awarded photographer with 10+ years of professional experience, my goal is to provide you and your loved one with photos you'll cherish forever. I approach each customer individually and do my best so that they are satisfied with the result of any custom shooting, because the greatest joy to me is the happiness of my clients! It's important to me to make you feel comfortable during photo-shooting. If my work resonates with you and you would like to discuss bringing your vision to life, please contact me today. I look forward to meeting you!
