Hi there! :) Have you ever been in a place with the person you love and the light was just perfectly falling on your faces, the breeze moving your hair and as you kissed them, you wished someone was there to capture that genuine moment for you two?If yes, I am glad you have found me. I love to capture authentic love, and I realise that it happens in the most simple moments. My process is all about you two. I want to know how you first met, your hobbies, favourite films, music, what you are passionate about, everything! I aim to plan the shoot in a way where you feel the most comfortable and like yourself. There is nothing more satisfying to me than you wanting to look at those pictures again and again. Photographs are not just meant to be for social media, they are meant to preserved through ages and generations in physical form. Through you, I want to preserve these memories.

IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU AND THE REAL GENUINE YOU. The love you share is unique and I want to preserve that, in photographs. I am a photographer and filmmaker who wants to document authenticity. I want you to see yourself in the photographs and you help me do that. I want to know how you met you two met, your favourite food, the movies you like, the music you groove to, are you a mountain or a beach person, and all the fun stuff! I think‚if it is true thatthere are as many minds as thereare heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts.‚Äù ~ Leo Tolstoy A little about me and why me? I am a ponderer. I love to look at the changing colours of the sunsets, at clouds and find shapes of all kinds in them. A good day to me is eating a good bowl of hot ramen, watching anime with my cat and my partner. I love to read in the sun, take long walks and listen to music. I started photographing almost a decade ago. I worked with some of the most amazing photographers in the world, like Joseph Radhik, when I began my journey. My education from Vancouver Film School in filmmaking helps me to expand my techniques in storytelling. I want to tell your story with my professional and personal experience to capture the 'real love stuff'. It is your turn. Tell me everything about you!
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!

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.
