A Sun-Drenched Summer Celebration by the Sea in Victoria, BC

Jessica and Mike’s summer wedding at the Cordova Bay Beach House was the kind of celebration that lingers with you—the kind where love feels tangible. With golden sunlight shimmering across the water and the soft sound of waves setting the rhythm for the day, every moment unfolded with a sense of peace, beauty, and joy.

From the beginning, Jessica and Mike made it clear: they wanted their wedding to feel relaxed, heartfelt, and full of presence. They weren’t chasing trends or tradition for tradition’s sake—they were building a day that reflected them. I was honoured to walk beside them from planning to final portrait, gently helping them create space for presence, calm, and connection in every part of the day.

As they exchanged their vows with the ocean as their witness, emotion moved through the air like the sea breeze—soft, undeniable, and deeply felt. Every glance, every tear, every smile held meaning. It was more than a ceremony; it was a threshold—sacred and real.

Their loved ones circled them like the tide: gentle, supportive, and all-in. I love capturing weddings like this, where nature plays an active role and where moments are not posed, but lived. We wandered down to the water’s edge as the sun began to dip, where their portrait session became less about posing and more about being. Laughing, barefoot in the sand, wrapped in each other and the moment.

Why I Love Photographing Weddings Like Jessica + Mike’s

Weddings like this one are why I do what I do. I’m not just showing up to snap photos—I’m walking beside you, tuning into what matters most to you, and gently guiding you through every step so you feel supported, calm, and connected. I help you slow down, breathe, and truly feel your day—so the photos don’t just show what it looked like, but what it felt like.

Whether you’re eloping by the sea, exchanging vows under the forest canopy, or gathering your people in a cozy community hall, I bring intuitive, heart-led presence to every celebration.
