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 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 high-value half-day coverage that will cover all of the day's big moments (e.g. ceremony, family photos, mingling with guests), then the Pacific Willow Wedding Package is right for you. This package is perfect for couples looking for fewer hours than full-day coverage but who would still appreciate having high-quality images of their loves ones and the moments they shared. I want you to look back and remember the ear-to-ear smile as you saw your spouse for the first time, or the first time you saw your reflection, or the moment you burst into laughter at your best friend's stand-up improv. 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.

Do you think about that look in the eyes of the person you love, when you ask them that overwhelming question of living your lives together? The Surprise Proposal package is one of my most favourite packages to capture the unexpected teary-eyed happiness in your partner's face when they say, Yes! I hide somewhere in the location and capture all the magic that happens when you go down on your knees and ask that very special question. One of my clients once told me that they were so overwhelmed that they didn't even realise how their partner reacted and it was through the photographs that really bought them back to the moment, which means a lot to me! It makes me extremely happy to shoot so much joy, so much surprise and a big step forward in your life. It's a very moving day for the two of you, and I promise I will keep a shush! No spoilers from my end.
