Wedding Photography in Vancouver, BC
Are you looking for Fun & Creative Wedding Photography in Vancouver, BC?
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I am proud to serve Vancouver BC, and to offer you comprehensive wedding photography packages built to suit your needs.
I am happy to offer a free engagement session with any full day wedding package! Please contact me for details.
Vancouver, British Columbia is a favourite for wedding photographers on the West coast. It holds a natural beauty that is hard to surpass, against a simple backdrop of nature-inspired scenery. Vancouver is the largest city in BC and the eighth largest in Canada, making it, along with Victoria, a top place to visit and live. Sitting near the United States border, it’s a popular tourist destination filled with a diverse, eclectic population.
The spectacular scenery is one that cannot be surpassed; Vancouver is surrounded by water, nestled upon mountains, and dotted with celebrated architecture. The mild climate makes it perfect for year-round visiting for tourists, as well as optimal livability for locals.
Vancouver combines a cosmopolitan city with a world class resort-like atmosphere. With an abundance of golf courses situated among the mountains and rolling greens, celebrated ski resorts, and noteworthy arts and theatre, there is something to appeal to everyone.
A Vancouver wedding has all the potential of being a classy affair in a stunning seaside environment or a dense forest.
What is your photographic style?
My photographic style is a mix of photojournalism, creative fine art, fashion-inspired and semi-posed or what I call prompted portraits. I believe in using every style and even creating some new ones to provide my clients with the most modern, original and creative photos. Images that portray their real personalities. I look to record the story of their day, capturing interesting emotions especially joy and happiness– the kind that causes the couple to tear up in the during the ceremony, or break out in beaming smiles during the reception.
I aim to create interesting compositions, colours, great light, and beauty. I especially like to tie in and highlight the beauty of the nature that surrounds us here on the west coast.
What makes you different from other wedding photographers in the Vancouver, BC?
One of my strongest traits that sets me apart from my competitors is my creativity. I have been blessed with the ability to quickly see the potential for new and creative images. I also have the belief in my self to allow for experimentation that leads to interesting, beautiful and classic vintage photos.
As well, I work exclusively as a photographer without having to have another job to support myself. This means that I am not distracted by other responsibilities. I can focus my time and energy on my craft creating those amazing images that my clients come to me for.
How do I choose a photographer for my wedding in Vancouver, BC?
When choosing a photographer to cover your wedding in the Victoria BC, you have a lot of great choices. Every photographer will have her or his own creative style and unique offerings. Your decision should come down to the photographer whose work appeals to you most and whose personality you feel relaxed and comfortable with. I believe your photographer should be a friend, someone that you feel so comfortable with you that your real personality can shine. If you are not comfortable or relaxed with your photographer then your photos may show your tension and discomfort. When you are comfortable the true fun and fabulous moments that you have will be caught so spectularly that you will be amazed over and over.

Within 10 days I provide you with an online viewing gallery that’s linked to a professional photo lab. That means your friends and family can order prints directly without needing to ask you or me for images or permission. All of the images created for you will be retouched to perfection by myself using Photoshop.

What do you do if it rains on our wedding day?
Rain showers are a reality in every part of the world. I am prepared to shoot indoors if need be. Alternatively we can create some fun shots with umbrellas or parasols if you choose to bring them. With great location photography options in and around Vancouver Island, mainland British Columbia, and Cuba, it is easy to sneak inside to skip a rain shower.
How much time should I plan to spend on wedding photography when I am planning my wedding in Victoria?
- Bridal Party Preparations
You will need 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. I recommend having your hair and makeup done at least 1.5 hours before your ceremony. I can then spend some quality time photographing you putting on your dress and veil, sharing a nice champagne toast with your bridesmaids and parents and having some intimate portraits with the girls before the big event occurs.
- Ceremony
The ceremony runs about 30-45 minutes with family photos directly afterward. Family portraits can take between 20 and 60 minutes. It takes between 2 to 5 minutes per grouping. I recommend bringing your family to no more than one location because I find family members can get bored and distracted if they’re kept too long. I give the same advice for wedding party portraits: It can take between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the size of the party and I recommend taking the wedding party to no more than one location. They can get bored and restless waiting for us to do the fun and creative portraits of the two of you.
- Creative & Fun Portraits
I recommend planning at least one special location away from other guests and distractions for 1.5 to 3 hours during your wedding day. This allows me enough time to give you a variety of fun and creative images that will tell a beautiful story of the love and enjoyment of life you share.
- Reception
I am usually asked to stay until the first dance; however, some of my packages include enough hours to allow me to photography the bouquet and garter toss and some of the dancing afterwards.
Should I make a list of my desired wedding photography photos?
I request a list of family combinations and specific bride and groom shots to ensure I get all the shots you want. In the past, some clients have cut out photos from magazines to show me the wedding photography that they like the best. I also am happy to receive links by email. This is a great way to share your vision of the style of photographs that inspire you.
D you have an photo galleries where we can view your work on the internet?
Yes, I do have online wedding galleries. Please visit more photos under the wedding photography section of my website.
Do you offer wedding albums?
Yes, I offer the option of creating a photo storybook from Asuka. It is a coffee-table book printed with flush photos.
Do you require a meal if we book you for the reception?
It is recommended that the couple provide a meal. People generally do not like to be photographed while they are eating, so I take a break during the actual dinner.
