This is photography for people who care more about how their moments feel than how they look on paper. The experience here is rooted in presence, connection, and honest storytelling. Not perfection. Not performance. Just real moments documented with intention and care.
I photograph weddings, elopements, and lifestyle sessions across Vancouver Island, creating imagery that feels grounded, emotional, and timeless. The kind of photographs that do not lose their meaning as trends change, because they were never built on trends to begin with.
This is where art and experience meet.
Timeless Storytelling for Unforgettable Moments
The photography Experience at Latitude 49
Photography Rooted in Presence & Storytelling
The most meaningful moments rarely announce themselves. They happen in the quiet pauses, the glances no one else sees, the way a hand instinctively reaches for another. My approach is built around noticing those moments and giving them space to exist without interruption.
I do not believe in manufacturing emotion or forcing connection for the sake of an image. Instead, I focus on creating an environment where you can stay present with the people and moments that matter most. The result is photography that feels honest, layered, and deeply personal.
How I Work
How I Work
03.
Your images are carefully curated and edited with intention, preserving the tone and emotion of the experience as it truly felt. Galleries are delivered in a private online space designed for viewing, sharing, and revisiting for years to come.
After the day
02.
On the day itself, my presence is steady and unobtrusive. I step in when direction is helpful and step back when moments deserve to unfold naturally. In most cases, you won't be asked to perform for the camera. Instead, I focus on creating space for connection, movement, and real interaction.
During the experience
01.
Every experience begins with thoughtful planning. This includes guidance around timelines, locations, and flow, as well as conversations about what matters most to you. The goal is to remove unnecessary stress and ensure your photography supports the way you want your day or session to feel.
Before the day
A Thoughtful, Timeless Editing Style
My editing approach is grounded in natural skin tones and intentional colour, with an emphasis on depth, atmosphere, and emotional weight. Images are edited to feel cohesive and cinematic without being overly stylized or trend driven.
I lean into mood and shadow when the moment calls for it, allowing images to feel rich and dimensional rather than flat or overly bright. The goal is not to make everything look the same, but to preserve how the day actually felt.
This work is meant to feel grounded and timeless. Photographs that hold their meaning years from now, not because they followed a trend, but because they were honest to the experience itself.
If you are drawn to imagery that feels emotive, atmospheric, and quietly powerful, this approach will resonate.
For couples planning a full wedding day who want their story documented with depth, care, and emotional honesty. Coverage is built around the natural rhythm of the day, from quiet moments to shared celebration.
For couples choosing intimacy, adventure, or a slower, more personal way of celebrating. Elopements are thoughtfully planned and rooted in meaning rather than expectation.
For couples and families wanting to document real connection and everyday moments in a relaxed, natural way. These sessions focus on presence rather than posing.
