You're getting married!! This is once in a lifetime kind of stuff!

Spoiler Alert...You're going to LOVE it here!!!
Why Choose Vancouver Island to elope?
The air here is soaked in cedar and saltwater. Ferns and moss blanket forest floors filled with trees that peel, creeks and rivers that speak and mountains that keep watch over the ocean below.
This is a place where you can backpack in majestic wilderness, walk barefoot along curving sand beaches, climb to hidden waterfalls and gaze at snow capped peaks.
This is Vancouver Island.
A perfect place for nature lovers, and adventure seekers looking for a wild and rugged wedding experience.
Eloping on Vancouver Island is right for you if...
You want an intimate experience
If a traditional big wedding just doesn't sit right with you. If you want an intimate experience that puts the focus on who YOU are as a couple. If you want a shared experience together that is not "the ordinary" with no added stress or drama, than a Vancouver Island elopement is right for you!
You Crave nature
It's a wilderness out there! A land of tall trees and cold seas. If you are craving those classic Pacific Northwest landscapes, look no further! Whether it's mountains, ocean, lakes, rivers, waterfalls or streams, you can find a corner of Vancouver Island to meet your needs. All you have to do is choose which landscape you want as the backdrop to your day.
You Love Adventure
Whatever adventure means to you, you can find it here! From hiking, to mountain biking, from surfing to sailing, from long walks on the beach to storm watching on the bluffs...Vancouver Island literally has it all. If you want to bring adventure and the outdoors into your elopement day, than Vancouver Island is right for you!
Whether it's lacing up you boots with your bouquet strapped to your backpack or hopping on a helicopter to be whisked up to a snowcapped peak, say "I Do" on top of a mountain with alpine vistas stretching before you.
Breathe in the evergreen soaked air as you hike along the fern lined rainforest trail. The carpet of moss is your wedding aisle that leads to the sea. Stand hand in hand along a misty, windswept shore as the waves roll in and soak your sandy hem.
The Sea is Calling. Seasalt air, windswept hair, crisp sails, sun-kissed island shores, and your hands together at the helm. A Sailboat Elopement package where every detail of your day is taken care of for you including saying your vows on the bow.
Let's Get you out adventuring in it!

“If you’re looking for a photographer on Vancouver Island Gina should be your go-to! My husband and I just did a vow renewal with her for our 10-year anniversary, and it was an adventurer’s dream!
Throughout the booking process and leading up to our trip, Gina stayed in communication through email and video calls and made sure we had everything we needed!
Gina really showed her love for the island as we planned our trip! She explained all the logistics of getting to the northwest coast via logging roads and camping for our vow renewal. She planned our day according to sunrise and sunset, the tide schedule, and the activities we wanted to include. On top of all that, she gave us many recommendations for places to see, eat, hike, buy groceries, etc. which was over and above what we would have expected, but truly helped make not just our day with her incredible, but our entire trip.

“Booking Gina was the best thing I did when planning our elopement on Vancouver Island. Gina and I clicked instantly and I fell for her editing style and ability to capture sweet, little moments. Gina helped commemorate our marriage by providing us with options to pick a spot that best represented our vibe which was helpful since we had never been to the island before. Communication? Great. In person connection? Amazing. Ability to let loose and get comfortable in front of the camera? You bet! Working with Gina was so very special and the breathtaking photos just solidified our decision of eloping and hiring Gina as the best part. These will be memories I will think of fondly for many years to come. Thank you for everything, Gina. I would book you again and again “
