Wedding Photography in Vancouver & the Lower Mainland
Getting ready, the ceremony, the portraits and the party — photographed as they happen. Documentary coverage for most of the day, with one organised block of family photos so nobody gets left out. Booked by the hour, from $1,200 for the first two, so you pay for the hours you actually want covered.

Photographed, not directed
The best wedding photos happen when nobody is waiting on the photographer. Coverage is built to stay out of the way, with just enough structure that the pictures you actually want get taken.
Wedding day coverage
Getting ready, arrivals, the ceremony, speeches, the cake, the first dances and the quiet moments in between — documentary through the whole run of the day.
Guided family photos
One organised block for family and wedding-party groups, from a list we agree in advance. I’ll round people up and keep it moving, so the reception doesn’t stop for an hour.
Instant delivery
Guests receive a private gallery of their own photos within minutes of being taken, where the venue Wi-Fi allows. $400 per event, and the most popular add-on for receptions.
The hours before
The dress on the hanger, the bracelets, the bouquet, and the last quiet stretch before anyone arrives.
Wedding photography that still feels like a wedding
You do not need to know how to pose, and neither does your aunt. I guide when guiding helps and disappear when it doesn’t, which is most of the day.
GET A QUOTE →Weddings have their own rate card, separate from corporate and public events: $1,200 for the first two hours, then $350 for every hour after. A two-hour ceremony-only booking and a full eight-hour day are both fine, and there are no fixed packages to fit into.
The two of you
Fifteen or twenty minutes away from the party is usually all it takes — sometimes a short walk to better light.
Private Celebrations
Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, showers, engagement parties and family gatherings.
SEE DETAILS →Corporate & Brand Events
Conferences, galas, product launches and staff parties, shot for your marketing channels.
SEE DETAILS →Festivals, Concerts & Public Events
Community festivals, concerts, markets, races and civic events, with sponsor coverage built in.
SEE DETAILS →Reception Photo Booth
A staffed studio booth beside the party, with up to three 4x6 prints per group handed over on the night.
SEE DETAILS →A timeline and a family list, then a light touch on the day
Ahead of the wedding we go through the running order and the group-photo list: which relatives travelled, who must be photographed together, and the details with meaning that I would otherwise walk past. Venues I haven’t worked before get looked at in advance.
On the day I arrive early, work quietly, and keep the family photos to a single organised block rather than interrupting your reception again and again.
What you get back
Toasts, tables and the dance floor
The part of the day nobody rehearses. Documentary coverage through the speeches, the toasts and everything after them.
Wedding photography pricing
A wedding is its own rate card, not a corporate event with a different name. Coverage is billed by consecutive hours with a two-hour minimum, and one flat hourly rate after that, so a long day is easy to work out in advance.
One professional photographer, your ceremony and candids covered end to end, and an edited gallery with full personal usage rights.
One rate, whether it is hour three or hour eight. Past eight hours, or for two-day and multi-venue celebrations, ask for a custom quote.
A staffed studio booth running through dinner and dancing, with up to three 4x6 prints per group handed over on the night. See booth pricing.
Highlight reels and social clips alongside photo coverage. Quoted to your day’s requirements.
Where the venue Wi-Fi is dependable, guests get a private gallery of their own photos within minutes of being shot — the reception photos are on their phones before they leave.
Everything around the wedding
Henna nights, engagement sessions and the proposal itself, booked by the hour and quoted with your date.

No fixed packages. Weddings are priced by the hour on a wedding rate card: $1,200 for the first two hours, then $350 per hour. You pay for the hours you actually want covered.
Six to eight hours covers getting ready through the first dances. Four is usually right for a ceremony plus portraits and speeches, and two works for an elopement or city hall ceremony.
No. Most of the day is documentary. Family and wedding-party photos happen in one organised block from a list we agree beforehand, so the celebration isn’t stopped over and over.
