Kelsey + Josh’s Elopement | West Vancouver, BC

July 23, 2020
Featured  ·  Photography  ·  Wedding

In the midst of a global pandemic Kelsey, Josh, their immediate loved ones and I adventured to an incredible little hidden gem on the Pacific coast on the shores of West Vancouver, BC to watch their eyes fill with tears and their hearts with love as they exchanged vows in an intimate elopement. It was such an incredible wedding that I was so beyond humbled to have been asked to be a part of this and capture the loved that was clearly shared by all for these two and their vows to each other.

The trek to their elopement was so secluded that we walked through the brambles to the Pacific Ocean and listened to the waves crashing on the beach below as they bound themselves to each other in such a powerful way. Just looking through their sneak peeks of their elopement, I’m getting a little choked up with all the emotions flowing (I’m such a sap for a true love story)

After they said their vows in front of their loved ones we ventured back to their family property in North Vancouver and it was so beautifully decorated. They finished out their elopement laughing with, tearing up with and loving with their friends and family and it was so incredible touching. Intimate elopements are absolutely my new favourite way to experience a wedding day. You get to speak with everyone you’ve invited, you care deeply for every person there and it keeps the focus so solely focused on the reason for being there that day instead of getting wrapped up in a big wedding production.

Watch below for a sneak peek into their incredible wedding day (keep your tissues close) the emotions were flying !!

No cameras, no expectations—just a quiet moment to breathe it all in.

Sarah and David did exactly that. They slipped away from the bustle, stood hand in hand overlooking their ceremony site, and let the day sink in. The view, the calm, the love—it was everything.

Because sometimes the best part of your wedding isn’t the big celebration, it’s the quiet space in between where you realize... this is your forever.

Sam and Dino brought the perfect mix of romance and connection to this mountain-side session—proof that bridal portraits don’t have to be just about the dress, but about the story, the connection, and the moments in between.

Leaving their boys at home, they spent the evening soaking in the meadow, laughing, connecting, and fully embracing just their relationship.
