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 !!

Let's freeze this moment in time, together

There’s something so timeless about a woman in h There’s something so timeless about a woman in her wedding gown—before the music plays, before the guests arrive, before the day officially begins.

It’s that quiet space where emotions stir, anticipation builds, and the beauty of this chapter really sinks in.

This bridal session was all of that and more—soft light, still air, and the reminder that being fully present in your day is what makes it unforgettable.

Don’t rush these moments. Let’s give you the space to take it all in, and remember how it felt.

Your anniversary doesn’t have to be a grand gest Your anniversary doesn’t have to be a grand gesture to mean something big.

Here are 3 timeless ways to celebrate your story:

💌 Revisit your vows – Read them out loud. Remind each other of the promises made and how you’ve grown into them.

📸 Book a session, just the two of you – Capture who you are now—not just who you were on your wedding day. Every chapter deserves to be seen.

🥂 Do something that feels like you – Whether it’s coffee in your backyard, a hike to your favorite lookout, or dinner at the spot you first met… choose simplicity and intention over pressure and performance.

Marriage isn’t about one day—it’s about the days after.
So celebrate how far you’ve come, and the love that continues to grow.

The little details? They’re not so little. Whet The little details? They’re not so little.

Whether it’s your grandmother’s earrings, the perfume you saved just for this day, or the ribbon wrapped around your bouquet—these pieces hold stories. They’re the quiet moments that ground you and bring your wedding day full circle.

If you’re in the thick of planning, here’s your reminder: take time to gather the items that feel like you. Not for the sake of the photos (though yes, I’ll absolutely capture them)—but because these tiny pieces will one day bring you right back to how it all felt.

What’s one meaningful item you’re including in your day?
