How to Choose the Best Photographer in the Comox Valley (And Why It Should Feel Like Finding a Friend)
Why Your Photographer (or Brand Photographer) Matters More Than You Think
Choosing a photographer isn’t just about finding someone with a camera—it’s about finding someone who truly sees you. Someone who captures the real, raw moments, not just the posed ones. Someone who makes you feel comfortable enough to be fully yourself, so that your photos don’t just look like you, but feel like you.
Your photographer should feel like a friend, someone who understands your vision—whether that’s telling the love story of your wedding day or creating soulful imagery for your brand that connects with your audience. That’s why finding the right person matters. You deserve more than just beautiful images—you deserve an experience that feels effortless, fun, and deeply personal.
As someone born and raised in the Comox Valley, I know the landscapes, the golden light at Goose Spit, the quiet magic of Seal Bay, the way the mountains hold space for love stories and creative businesses alike. And now, as I prepare to move back home, I’m beyond excited to create meaningful images in the place that shaped me.
What to Look for in a Photographer (Beyond Just the Portfolio)
A great photographer is more than just their portfolio. Here’s what truly matters when choosing the right person to document your love story or bring your brand to life:
A style that resonates with you – Do you love soft, organic, cinematic images? Or raw, moody, documentary-style storytelling? Make sure their work makes you feel something.
A connection with their approach – Read their website, follow them on social media. Do their words, their vibe, their presence align with how you want to feel during your session?
The ability to make you feel at ease – If you’re worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera, your photographer should have a way of guiding you that feels natural, not forced.
A deep understanding of the Comox Valley – The right photographer will know the best hidden spots, the seasonal light shifts, and how to make the most of the landscapes around you—whether for a wedding, a branding shoot, or an intimate elopement.
🌿 If you’re dreaming of an experience that’s effortless, fun, and deeply personal, I’d love to be that person for you!
The Experience Should Feel Like THIS…
Take a deep breath and picture this:
Reconnecting with an old friend, where conversation flows so naturally that time slips away unnoticed.
Feeling so deeply present in the moment that all the stresses of life fade into the background.
Laughing effortlessly, caught up in stories and shared memories, without a second thought about the camera.
A great photographer doesn’t just take photos—they create a space where you can be completely present, where your love story or brand essence shines through effortlessly. When you look back at these images, you won’t just see what you looked like that day—you’ll feel it all over again.
