I kicked off my wedding photography business almost 5 years ago at age 23 and after shooting almost 100 weddings I still have continued to love every minute of it.
I ranked 5th in "Overall Wedding Photographer" on Vancouver Island in 2016 and will continue to push myself to be the best I can.
My work has taken me all over British Columbia, across Canada and to some of my favourite places in Mexico and the Caribbean.
Participating in workshops taught by world renowned photographers has been a huge part of my success and I couldn't be happier to be a part of such a talented industry.
I have met so many incredible couples and fellow photographers over the years and I am looking forward to seeing what the future brings. |
