How much experience do you have?

Photography

Since 2008, my work has evolved from sports and families into weddings (2012) and now fully immersive, experience-driven storytelling. I’ve worked in high-pressure, once-in-a-lifetime environments—from private political events with Pierre Poilievre, to ambassador gatherings at The Vancouver Club, to documenting TV personalities and retreat leaders like Gary Golding, WitchBetty, and Ste Kelly.

What this means for you:

You get a calm, steady presence beside you—someone who can handle pressure without passing it onto you. You’re free to stay in the moment, knowing everything is being read and anticipated before it unfolds. Nothing feels staged or interrupted. And when guidance is needed, it comes naturally—so you feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely like yourselves, without ever being pulled out of the experience.

Medical Background

6 years as a clinical practitioner and first aid instructor, with extensive experience in patient care, mental health, and high-responsibility environments.

What this means for you:

You feel safe—physically and emotionally. There’s someone present who understands people, not just timelines. If something shifts—weather, energy, nerves—it’s handled calmly and quietly. You don’t have to manage anything. You get to be fully present with each other, knowing you’re supported.

Expedition & Guiding Experience

Over a decade of leading and guiding in outdoor environments while documenting real experiences as they unfold.

What this means for you:

Your elopement flows effortlessly. Locations, timing, weather, and movement are all handled with intention. You’re not second-guessing decisions or feeling rushed—you’re guided through a day that feels natural, grounded, and deeply aligned with what matters most to you.

Survival & Bushcraft (Naked and Afraid)

As the first Canadian woman to complete Naked and Afraid, and through years of teaching survival and bushcraft, I’ve learned how to strip away distraction and bring people fully into the present.

What this means for you:

Your day becomes something you feel, not just something you schedule. You slow down. You reconnect. Maybe that looks like building a fire together, or creating a piece of primitive pottery using the land around you—where the sand becomes temper in the clay, strengthening something you’ll keep forever. A reflection of your vows, your faith, and your foundation. Fired in your own campfire, it becomes part of your story.

The result

You don’t just get photos. You get a day where you felt safe, grounded, and fully connected—where nothing pulled you away from each other. And when you look back, you won’t just see it… you’ll feel it all over again.
