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!

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!
A Wise Woman Once Said F@ck This Sh!t. And She Lived Happily Ever After. What is an Elopement? We believe in the power and the beauty of marriage. We believe that your marriage is a union to be celebrated, and celebrated in the most intimate and personal fashion. The difference between a wedding and an elopement being the emphasis on the celebration of a marriage over the hosting of a wedding. What We Do Help lovers run away and elope in a beautiful, meaningful, and intimate way. We value an epic location, lovely vows, all while capturing the memory. An Elopement Is Two humans in love, with the smallest handful of witnesses, no bridal party, a marriage celebrant, and a photographer.

A wedding day is a celebration more than anything, so let's capture the celebration and give yourself a beautiful memory to look back on. I want you to be able to put yourself back into the moment where you said 'I do' or 'heck yes' and relive the emotions. If you're looking for the most comprehensive, don't-miss-a-moment coverage of your wedding day, the Rocky Mountain Juniper Wedding Package is the one for you. This package is perfect for couples who want to look back and cherish every single moment of their special day. I want you to remember the ear-to-ear smile as you saw your spouse for the first time, or the moment you burst into laughter at your best friend's stand-up improv. I want you to have the photo proof that yes, your breakdancing moves really did tear up the dance floor, and I want you to have the beautiful formal photos with your family that you deserve. More than anything, I want you to walk away from this meaningful day knowing that you were able to do and experience everything you possibly wanted. Bonus: When you book the Rocky Mountain Juniper package, you and your partner will also get a free engagement photography session in the lead-up to the wedding (digitals included).
