THOUGHTFUL TIMELINES AND HONEST. CANDID MOMENTS THAT REFLECT HOW YOUR DAY TRULY FELT.
Hey I’m Val,
GLAD YOU’RE HERE!
With so many decisions to navigate when planning a Vancouver wedding, I want choosing your photographer to feel simple, calm, and reassuring.
I'm drawn to the moments that make your wedding yours — the laughter, the tears, the quiet glances, and the in-between moments shared with the people you love most. My goal is to create space for your day to be felt, not performed. Through thoughtful timelines and gentle guidance, your day unfolds naturally so you can stay present while every meaningful moment is documented.
The result is a calm, unhurried experience and photographs that feel honest, meaningful, and full of life.
If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear about your plans.
your simple path to authentic photos
Every couple I work with comes to me wanting the same thing — to actually be present on their wedding day, not performing for a camera. My approach is built around that. From our first conversation to your final gallery, everything is designed to feel calm, intentional, and completely personal to you.

Before your wedding, we'll build a thoughtful timeline together so nothing feels rushed and every important moment has space to breathe. If your collection includes an engagement session, we'll use that time to get comfortable together — so by your wedding day, you already know how to be yourselves in front of my camera.
TIMELINE PLANNING
LET’S GET YOU MARRIED
On your wedding day, just be present. I'll handle the rest — blending into your day, anticipating moments before they happen, and creating a gallery of images that feel genuinely, beautifully yours.
We'll connect over a video call to get to know each other and make sure we're a great fit. If it feels right, a deposit and signed agreement holds your date. Vancouver dates book quickly — especially May through October.
Fill out the inquiry form and tell me about your plans — your venue, your vision, and what matters most to you. I read every message personally and respond within 48 hours.
