Melanie Chapman Photography's Pacific Dogwood Engagement Session

"It's not what we have in life, but who we have in our life that matters." Elopements are such beautiful occasions of love. I especially love elopements because of the intimacy they afford: it's just you, your loved one, and the people that mean the world to you. As a photographer, it's my goal to ensure you'll have gorgeous elopement photos to look back on for the rest of your lives -- from the vows, to the kiss, to the formal photos with your closest family and friends. My camera has followed me everywhere for over nine years. My style as a photographer is to look for the little moments: when you're brimming with happy tears walking up the aisle, or bear-hugging your best friends who you haven't seen in months. With me, you can rest assured that those priceless moments won't go missed -- and you'll be able to keep reliving them long after you've said "I do."

I will capture your day authentically, with a focus on what really matters: your love and connection. If you're looking for beautiful photos at great value, the Basic Couples/Engagement Session is perfect for you. Over the course of an hour, anywhere in Vancouver, 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!

I love working with down-to-earth couples who are chill, in love, and looking for an experience that feels true to who they really are (read: nothing fake, forced, or cheesy). If I just described you guys, then we should chat! Book a complimentary consultation call with me and over a (virtual) coffee or a beer, we'll daydream about your photos while making sure we're a fit. Whether it's hiking the trails, watching the sunrise, or cuddling with the pets at home, we'll come up with a game plan and bring your vision to life!
