Reliving the magic, one story at a time
Weddings On Film
In a world dominated by digital technology, where instant gratification is the norm, there’s something uniquely captivating about shooting in film. I find that film photography offers an unparalleled experience, both creatively and technically. Here’s why I love shooting in film and why it continues to be an essential part of my work!
The Deliberation - One of the most significant differences between digital and film photography is the level of intention involved. With film, each shot counts. There’s no endless storage space, and every frame is precious, which fosters a sense of deliberation and mindfulness. I carefully consider each composition, lighting, and exposure, knowing that I can’t simply review and delete images on the spot, which often leads to more thoughtful photos.
The Magic - There’s a certain magic in the process of shooting with film. From loading the camera to hearing the satisfying click of the shutter, and finally, the anticipation of developing the film, every step is an experience in itself. Unlike digital photography, where results are instantaneous, film requires patience.
The Aesthetic - Film photography offers a unique aesthetic that digital often struggles to replicate. The grain, the dynamic range, and the subtle colour variations lend a timeless quality to the images.
The Permanence - In an era where most images live on screens and in the cloud, film photographs provide a tangible connection to the past. There’s something incredibly satisfying about holding a physical print, knowing that it exists independently of digital storage. Film photos have a certain permanence; they’re physical artifacts that can be cherished, framed, and passed down through generations.
The Imperfections - Film photography teaches me to embrace imperfections. They add character, charm, and authenticity to the images. In a world where digital perfection can sometimes feel sterile, film offers a refreshing and genuine alternative.
Shooting in film is way more than just a technique. It encourages me to slow down, appreciate the process, and connect more deeply with my craft. The aesthetic, the magic, and the timeless quality of film photography are truly irreplaceable!

Hycroft Manor
KIRSTEN + ANDREW
Kirsten + Andrew’s love story began when a close mutual friend set them up on a blind date. When they first came to me, they mentioned they didn’t really want the fairytale wedding, but just want to have fun – capturing the day and memories, the story, and beautiful in between moments.
The duo chose to get married at Hycroft Manor, which is one of my favourite venues in Vancouver. Alyssa Rae Events took care of all the planning and coordinating, and the florals by La Bomba were some of the most beautiful and elegant I have seen!
But the best part? They had a tattoo artist, Jamie Kan, stop by at the end of the night for them and their guests. They got matching "K+A" initials on their fingers, which was such a sweet symbol of their love!

City Elopement
ANNIE + NOAH
There is something about simple elopements that melts my heart, and Annie + Noah’s was truly so magical. These two wanted to focus on capturing lots of unique portraits before we had their ceremony, so we took advantage of Vancouver’s beautiful downtown, iconic buildings, charming streets, and lush greenery.
After our portrait session, we headed to the rooftop of the Coal Harbour Cactus Club, where their family and friends were waiting for them to exchange their vows. The view was breathtaking and their love was palpable. Their elopement was a beautiful reminder that love is the most important element of any wedding, no matter the size.
Choosing Kaoverii to capture our elopement was one of the best decisions we made! After meeting her for our initial consultation, I was instantly drawn to her beautiful and warm energy and knew that I didn't need to look for anyone else.
As for our wedding day, she was so lovely and such a pleasure to work with, which made the whole process of having our photos taken really fun, relaxing and easy. It felt like we were just dressed up running around with an old friend. She's one of the most genuine and sweet people I've ever met!
Now for the photos... we were absolutely blown away by the final images (which she provided so quickly, how was that even humanly possible?). Kaoverii captured all of our best moments with such an eye for detail, while keeping them candid and emotionally poignant. The composition, lighting, background, foreground, everything came together so beautifully. I can't even begin to describe how incredible they turned out. There were moments she captured that I didn't even realize she was taking photos of. She has a true talent and her love for her craft shows through her art, the photos. We feel so lucky and grateful to have had worked with Kaoverii. I cannot recommend her enough if you're looking for an incredible photographer for your special day!

Audain Museum
JAMIE + ANDREW
In the heart of Whistler's artistic haven, Jamie + Andrew painted the canvas of their love story at the enchanting Audain Art Museum. The day unfolded seamlessly, thanks to Bliss Event + Design who took care of all the planning, details, floral and design. I worked to capture the day alongside Eastowest Wedding Films, eternalizing the couple's journey. Jordan Sanders officiated the ceremony, infusing it with heartfelt moments. The celebration continued with Airwaves entertainment setting the perfect rhythm, and Hands Simmer’s Cale Shapera, serenading the night.
The ladies’ radiant beauty was enhanced by Natacha Trottier, and culinary delights curated by The Collective Kitchen, added layers to the experience. Whistler Executive Transport ensured a stylish arrival, and the sweet ending was courtesy of Pure Bread's exquisite cake.
Jamie + Andrew’s wedding day was truly a masterpiece—a symphony of love, laughter, and artistry.

SOPHIE + SIMON
Some love stories take a little time to unfold, and Sophie and Simon’s journey is the perfect example. Growing up just blocks away from each other, they shared years of friendship before Simon finally made the move that changed everything. What Sophie thought was a casual “friend date” turned into the beginning of something truly special.
Fast forward six years, and these two decided to tie the knot in the breathtaking setting of UBC Botanical Gardens. When Sophie and Simon reached out to me, they shared that their vision for the day was all about balance—relaxed and fun, yet polished and organized. They wanted a day where their love for each other and their closest friends and family could truly shine.
As their photographer, my goal was to capture the real-life moments and raw emotions that made their day so unique. From the joyful tears during the ceremony to the laughter-filled reception, every moment was a testament to the deep connection these two share. The lush greenery of UBC Botanical Gardens provided the perfect backdrop, with nature’s beauty complementing the love and happiness radiating from Sophie and Simon.
What made this day even more special was the sense of community and closeness that filled the air. You could feel the love and support from everyone who had gathered to celebrate Sophie and Simon’s next chapter. It was a day where memories were made, not just for the couple, but for everyone who was lucky enough to be a part of it.
If there’s one thing I’ll always remember about Sophie and Simon’s wedding, it’s the way they looked at each other—a look that said, “We’ve known each other forever, but this is just the beginning.” And that’s exactly what I aimed to capture in every shot!
