Vancouver Island Wedding & Elopement Photography Blog

From Fishing Trips to Forever: Dakota & James in Nanoose Bay

5/06/25

The Latitude 49 Photography blog is where inspiration and resources come together. Here, you’ll find galleries of real couples, planning guides, and reflections on the art of photography.

I share stories from Vancouver Island weddings and elopements in Tofino, Ucluelet, Victoria, Nanaimo, Campbell River, and the Comox Valley. Sessions on Hornby Island beaches, in Strathcona Park forests, and along the coast. Beyond the island, I write about adventures in Vancouver, Whistler, Kelowna, the Okanagan, and the beautiful Chatterbox Falls.

This blog is also a place for Canadian Rockies inspiration—Banff, Jasper, Canmore, and Lake Louise—as well as international destination guides. From Italy’s vineyards to Iceland’s black sands, from Greece’s islands to Ireland’s cliffs, from Mexico’s golden beaches to Hawaii’s sunsets, I share advice and stories to help you dream bigger for your day.

Alongside these real love stories, you’ll find tips for planning a seamless photography experience, advice for elopements, and behind-the-scenes notes from my journey as a photographer. The blog is meant to inspire, guide, and encourage—whether you’re planning a wedding, dreaming of an adventure, or simply looking for meaningful photography.
