Before any wedding day, it’s important for me to sit with my couples and review their preferred shots, timeline of the day and everything they are hoping to get from their wedding day portraits. It’s an amazing time to get together, connect and establish a relationship so I can help capture all the best moments from your magical wedding day!!

Let's freeze this moment in time, together

Kate Paterson | Vancouver BC Wedding Photographer

Solo sessions hit different. It’s not just about Solo sessions hit different.
It’s not just about the photos—it’s the feeling you walk away with.
Like, yeah… I really am that girl🔥🔥
You’ve shared years, built a home, raised little You’ve shared years, built a home, raised little humans… but how often do you pause and document just the two of you?

No matching outfits needed.
No elaborate plans.
Just connection, quiet, closeness.

Because this part of your story matters too:
🤍 The way you still make each other laugh
🤍 The way your hand naturally finds theirs
🤍 The way time has deepened—not dulled—your love

These aren’t “just couple photos.”
They’re a love letter to the life you’ve created, together.

There’s a kind of beauty in motherhood that can’t be posed.

It just is
The ceremony is done, the joy is overflowing… an The ceremony is done, the joy is overflowing… and then it’s your aisle exit. This moment is pure magic—but have you thought about how you’ll move through it?

Here are 3 simple ways to make it your own:

💫 The Kiss, Dip, or Twirl – Some couples share a sweet kiss, others dip or twirl partway down the aisle. It’s spontaneous joy with just enough intention to make it photo-ready.

🌸 Add Some Movement – Petal tosses, confetti, or bubbles from your guests bring color, playfulness, and a feeling of celebration. They also look stunning in photos.

🫶 Just Be You – Laugh, cry, high-five, skip, or simply walk hand in hand. You don’t have to plan every step—just trust the joy of the moment and I’ll take care of capturing the magic.

Your aisle exit is one of the happiest little chapters of your wedding day. Let’s make it feel as joyful as it truly is.
