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!!

Cass & Ziggy✨ Their wedding at Poets Cove was e Cass & Ziggy✨

Their wedding at Poets Cove was everything a small wedding should be—intimate, full of laughter, and wrapped in the love of their closest family and friends. ✨

From the gentle island breeze to the heartfelt vows, every moment felt personal and perfectly theirs. Small weddings have a way of making the love and joy feel even bigger, and being there to capture it all was an absolute dream.

Angela & Baron ✨ Golden hour in Stanley Park is Angela & Baron ✨

Golden hour in Stanley Park is already breathtaking… but pair it with Angela and Baron celebrating their soon-to-be “I do’s” and it becomes unforgettable.

The quiet trails, the glow over the ocean, and those little pre-wedding butterflies—it was all there. A session like this is the perfect pause in preparation for the big day, a way to soak up the anticipation and capture the excitement before stepping into forever.
Nakisha + Will There’s just something about the Nakisha + Will

There’s just something about the city at sunset—the hum of the streets below, the skyline glowing, and the two of you in your own little world on a rooftop above it all. ✨

Nakisha and Will’s engagement session felt like pure magic—intimate, bold, and filled with laughter that carried across the skyline.
