Vancouver wedding photographer

I’m Shauna and I’m a wedding photographer in Vancouver, BC and I love quirky, offbeat, authentic weddings.  I shot my first wedding in 2012 after having an amazing experience with my own wedding photographer.  Over the last six seasons, I have found my happy place documenting weddings for couples looking to start their married lives together with a giant party for their closest friends and family.  You can learn more about me and what I’m all about here!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long have you been a wedding photographer?

2020 will be my ninth wedding season!

What kind of camera do you use?

I shoot with Nikon D750 and D800 DSLRs.

How would you describe your style?

My approach to photography is candid, fun, and relaxed because I believe in documenting moments as they happen rather than creating them.  I think everyone looks their best when they don't know that they're being photographed.  It's the genuine, unanticipated photos that really tell your story.

Are you a full-time photographer?

Yes!  I also work full time as a School and Student Support Worker for the Vancouver School Board.  I feel so fortunate to have two jobs that I love waking up to every morning!

What are your packages?

You can view all of my collections here!  I can also create a custom wedding collection for you based on the number of hours of coverage you are looking for.

How many hours do we need?

That totally varies from wedding to wedding.  If getting ready photos are important to you, I typically suggest starting photography coverage one hour before you're finished getting ready, and ending coverage one hour after your first dance.

Do we need a second shooter?

You really do! Your wedding day is far too important to me to not be able to be in two places at once – having the second angle really helps in telling your complete story. My second shooters are talented wedding photographers themselves and are also a lot of fun to have around!

Will our photos be edited?

Totally! I don’t deliver unedited files to my clients.

How many photos will we get?

I guarantee 50 photos per hour of photography coverage. I typically deliver about 600 photos for an 8 hour wedding.

How will we receive our photos?

Your photos will be delivered in an online gallery called PASS.  I love PASS because it's online and accessible anywhere, enables easy downloading for you and for your family and friends, and offers professional quality prints you can purchase directly from the gallery.  (AND your photos are safe online for 10 years!)

Can we meet to chat?

Absolutely!  I'd love to meet for drinks (alcoholic or caffeinated is up to you) to learn more about the two of you and your plans for your big day! 

How do we book?

I require a signed contract and a 50% retainer (payable by e-Transfer or Paypal) to secure your wedding day.  

When is our balance due?

The remaining balance (50%) is due 14 days before your wedding day.

When can we book our engagement session?

Whenever you want!  If you want your images for save the dates or invitations, it's best to schedule your session fairly soon after booking.  Otherwise, pick a season and we'll go from there!

How long until we receive our images?

I will share 8 sneak peek images within 24 hours on my Facebook page.  Your full gallery of edited, high-resolution images will be finished within 8 weeks of your wedding day.
