CAPTURING THE MOMENTS THAT BRING YOU THE MOST JOY
VICTORIA BC WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Why Choose a Local
Victoria BC Wedding Photographer
Choosing a local Victoria BC wedding photographer means more than just hiring someone who knows the area. It means working with someone who knows exactly where the light falls at Hatley Castle at golden hour, which hidden corners of Oak Bay Beach Hotel make for breathtaking portraits, and how to navigate the unpredictable West Coast weather with a backup plan already in place.
I've photographed weddings across Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, and the surrounding islands for years. I know the vendors, the venues, and the hidden gems that only locals know about. That familiarity means your wedding day runs smoother, your photos look more intentional, and you spend less time explaining and more time celebrating.
When you hire local, you also get someone who is genuinely invested in your community, because it's mine too.
I've had the privilege of photographing weddings at some of Victoria's most stunning venues: Hatley Castle, Oak Bay Beach Hotel, Laurel Point Inn, Church & State Winery, Olympic View Golf Course, Pearson College, and Gowlland Harbour Resort, among many others. Whether you're planning an intimate garden ceremony or a grand celebration, I know these venues inside and out, where the best light will be and the hidden corners.

victoria bc wedding venues
Victoria BC is home to some of Canada's most stunning wedding venues. I've had the privilege of photographing weddings at Hatley Castle, Oak Bay Beach Hotel, Laurel Point Inn, Olympic View Golf Course, Church & State Winery, and Pearson College. Each venue has its own pros and cons, and I know exactly how to capture it.

Hatley Castle is Victoria's most iconic wedding venue: Gorgeous castle backgrounds, Italian gardens, and sweeping ocean views.
Oak Bay Beach Hotel offers refined West Coast elegance with the ocean as your backdrop.
Laurel Point Inn sits right on Victoria's Inner Harbour, offering a glass reception space, large dance floor, and a oceanfront wedding ceremony set up.
Church & State Winery in the Cowichan Valley is pure romance. Rolling vineyard rows, golden afternoon light, and a stunning venue with high ceilings and space.
Olympic View Golf Course has a full package that makes the day easy for all its couples. There's a beautiful waterfall, outdoor ceremony space, and spacious reception hall.
Pearson College on the southern tip of Vancouver Island offers rugged coastal beauty unlike anywhere else in the region. The views and privacy here are unbeatable.

"I was nervous that I wouldn’t look good in any of my wedding photos. Hayley was so enthusiastic about my ideas and made the process so much fun. every photo in our sneak peeks (which we got less than 24 hours after the wedding!!) is stunning. Hayley perfectly balances capturing authentic candid moments and classic posed photos.
When we finally met in person, it felt like I had known her for so long! Her and her team are so kind, charismatic, and calm. They made sure we were on schedule, while also capturing all the moments that we had talked about before the wedding. Even in the pouring rain in the forest 😅
If you’re looking for a Victoria bc wedding photographer, look no further. Thank you Hayley and to your team for capturing our day perfectly. 🫶🏼"

A GLIMPSE AT VICTORIA BC WEDDINGS
ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Myself and my team are based out of Victoria, BC! We regularly take bookings in my hometown of Campbell River, and travel across Vancouver Island and the rest of the world.
The clients we work with value our unique style of storytelling, and want something timeless-not just a basic highlight reel. Couples that work with us want something custom to them, not cookie-cutter! We're all about the raw, real, and beautifully unscripted moments, the teary-eyed dads, the long-overdue reunions, and that exhilarating “Oh my gosh, we just got married!” feeling.
While, yes, I will absolutely guide you when needed, I thrive on capturing the real you through natural movement and connection. Most of all, I want you to express your love in a way that feels right for you. When you look back on your photos and films, I want you to see you—your emotions, your story, your love, exactly as it was. So, if this speaks to you, we just might be the perfect fit.
Our clients want their story told, which means we don't want to miss a single moment! That's why I have a team of trusted Photographers and Videographers. When we are hired to capture both, we operate as a team of 3-5 people. The team size depends on the size and length of the wedding day. This way, we can ensure not a single moment is missed
Wedding couples typically hire my team for 9 hours to ensure their full wedding story is captured. 60% of the time, we are asked to stay an additional hour which we love!
Because my clients love having a seamless, stress-free wedding plan, I connect with all of them again one month before the wedding day. We meet for coffee or over zoom to finalize the timeline details and ensure you have enough wiggle room to fully soak up your day. During this meeting is typically where clients add or shift their wedding day coverage. My goal is to be as flexible as possible for you!
My clients value speed of delivery because they want to share with friends and family right away, while the day is still fresh. This is a huge bonus of working together! As a wedding couple, you will receive a sneak peek gallery of 100 images within 48 hours.
And even better, instead of waiting 3-6 months for your final gallery, I guarantee your final wedding photo gallery in 4 weeks and wedding films, ceremony videos, and speech videos within just 6 weeks. You will receive a personalized gift in the mail with a USB stick that directs you to your online digital gallery.
Before the Wedding:
We plan an Engagement Photoshoot so you can experience how easy it is to work together!
We meet for coffee beforehand so you two can feel super comfortable with me!
During the Wedding:
My team follows a documentary style approach and capture images without being right in your face. But when it comes to the ‘must have’ portraits, I will provide prompts and movements to ensure you feel natural and like yourselves. The goal is to create ‘candid’ moments, not stiff poses.
I’ll be giving verbal feedback and compliments so you know just how amazing you look in the photos
I can show you images periodically so you feel confident in how you look
If something doesn’t look great in photos, I’ll change it up immediately. There’s no need to put you in awkward stiff positions.
We will focus on movement and connection, not static poses
The most important thing to note is you two are going to look fantastic. I get to know what’s most important to you on the wedding day which ensures you will love the moments captured.
First, I'll hop on a call to get to know you—not just how your wedding will look, but how you want it to feel. We’ll chat through your vision, review Pinterest boards, and we can meet over coffee if you'd like to build a timeline that ensures a seamless, stress-free day.
On your wedding day, you get to be fully present while I keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. From quiet, intimate moments to the wildest celebrations, I’ll capture everything candidly and intentionally, so when you look back at your memories, you remember them just as they happened.
After your wedding, here's what you can expect:
Within two days, you’ll receive a sneak peek of your photos
Within 4 weeks, I'll send over your full gallery along with a personalized gift. You’ll have everything you need for the perfect date night—so you can relive the magic of your wedding day!
