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!
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!

"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."
