Latitude 49 Photography
Vancouver Island Wedding & Elopement Photographer Creating Cinematic, Editorial Love Stories
Vancouver Island Wedding & Elopement Photographer | Latitude 49 Photography
Love deserves to be remembered in a way that feels timeless, intentional, and cinematic. I’m Sarah Buckley-Jones, the photographer behind Latitude 49 Photography, creating luxury wedding and elopement imagery rooted in storytelling, emotion, and artistry. Based in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, I photograph weddings, elopements, engagements, and family sessions across British Columbia and beyond—always ready to travel wherever love leads.
My inspiration comes from the raw, wild beauty of the Pacific Northwest. From the misty forests of Campbell River to the rugged beaches of Tofino and Ucluelet, every landscape shapes how I tell a story. You’ll often find me photographing across Victoria, Nanaimo, Hornby Island, and Quadra Island, capturing the connection between people and place. I also serve couples across Vancouver, Whistler, and Chatterbox Falls in Princess Louisa Inlet, crafting imagery that reflects both the serenity and adventure of the West Coast.
Beyond Vancouver Island, I document destination weddings and elopements throughout Canada and worldwide. From Banff, Canmore, Jasper, and Lake Louise, to Kelowna vineyards, Okanagan orchards, and beyond—my work extends to Italy, Ireland, Iceland, Greece, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Hawaii. Each destination offers a unique backdrop for love stories told through an editorial lens with documentary soul.
Wherever your wedding or elopement unfolds, my goal is to blend fine-art elegance with authentic storytelling—creating imagery that feels alive, intentional, and deeply personal.
Destination Weddings & Elopements
Your story doesn’t have borders—and neither do I. As a destination wedding and elopement photographer, I travel across Canada and worldwide to capture love stories that are as wild and beautiful as the places they unfold. From the mountain peaks of Banff and Jasper to the vineyards of Kelowna, and across the coastlines of Italy, Greece, Ireland, and Iceland, I create imagery that feels cinematic, intentional, and deeply personal.
Each destination wedding and elopement experience is designed to reflect your unique connection and the landscape that frames it. Every collection is tailored with care, ensuring your memories are captured with the same artistry and emotion you felt in each moment.
More Than Photos—A Legacy
Photography is more than documentation—it’s memory, legacy, and art. It’s the ability to look back and not only see your day but feel it. Through a blend of documentary storytelling and editorial direction, I craft imagery that is timeless, emotional, and alive with meaning.
My goal is to create photographs that transcend trends—images that tell your story with cinematic elegance and become heirlooms for generations to come.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence. About the way it felt to stand there together, living a moment you’ll never want to forget
You’re not just planning a wedding—you’re creating a day full of meaning. A day where every glance, every laugh, and every tear becomes part of a story only you could write. The beauty isn’t in staged perfection, but in the fleeting moments you’ll want to hold onto forever.
My role is to preserve those moments with intention. To capture the way it felt to be there—cinematic, raw, and timeless. Because years from now, it won’t be the perfect pose you remember. It will be the way their hand fit in yours, the sound of their voice, and the magic of knowing this was the start of forever.
Telling the Soul of Your Love Story
Hi, I'm Sarah!
the photographer behind Latitude 49 Photography. I believe your love deserves to be told like an unforgettable novel: raw, intentional, and beautifully true. Inspired by Vancouver Island’s rugged coastlines and quiet forests, I create cinematic imagery that feels alive and deeply personal. My work isn’t about perfect poses; it’s about the way it felt to be there—the fleeting glances, the laughter, the tears, and the beauty found in every in-between moment.
Every story I capture is tailored, shaped by the way you love and the landscapes that surround you. From intimate elopements on windswept beaches to elegant celebrations in the mountains, I create heirlooms that preserve both artistry and emotion. Featured on Wandering Weddings and trusted by couples across Vancouver Island and beyond, my process is designed to feel effortless, elevated, and undeniably you.

We just got our sneak peeks back from Sarah at Latitude 49 Photography They are amazing and she was amazing to work with, so helpful and considerate with managing family during family portraits and so so so easy to work with to take the photos. The package we got included an engagement session and I absolutely adored all of the photos. I could not recommend her enough! She also has super reasonable prices and her talent is out of this world!

Sarah did our engagement and wedding photos for us. As people who are not super comfortable in front of a camera she was awesome at directing us, making us feel comfortable and making sure she captured the moments we cared about most. All of our wedding guests were commenting on how friendly and professional she was and how she overall was a pleasure to have around. For any future brides we would highly recommend choosing Latitude49Photography as your wedding/engagement photographer

The Stories I tell
Every photograph is created to hold not just how it looked, but how it felt.
Love reveals itself in the in-between. In the hush before a kiss, the laughter that breaks through nerves, the stillness of being wholly seen. My portfolio is a collection of these moments. Layered, cinematic, and deeply true.
Let’s create the story you’ll return to, time after time
