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 !!

Your Story Doesn't Stop at "I Do" Whether you’r Your Story Doesn't Stop at "I Do"

Whether you’re currently rocking a beautiful baby bump or you’re in the thick of the "toddler-running-circles-around-me" phase, these are the moments that make up your real, messy, beautiful legacy.

I know, I know... the house is a mess, the kids won't sit still, and you’re waiting for that "perfect" time to book a session. But here’s a little secret: The magic is actually in the chaos. ✨ I’m not about stiff poses or forced smiles; I’m all about capturing how you actually love each other right now.

From the quiet mountain views to a candid session in the Fraser Valley—your family is a masterpiece today. Not next year. Not when things "calm down." Right now.

Can’t wait to see more of your beautiful faces in 2026! 🥂

This is where time seems to pause and it’s just you, your person, and that glow that makes everything feel unreal.

It’s the little things that told their story — the heirloom earrings, the handwritten vows, the perfume that will always be 'that scent'.

When they look back, these are the small details that will bring them right back to how the day felt.
