Meet your
Photo and Video Dream Team

Who the heck are these people?

We( Nate and Ali) are an engaged couple who are on a mission to change the wedding industry for the better. Our journey into the wedding photography and videography began with shooting for countless other wedding “studios”. There we honed our skills and gained invaluable experience at HUNDREDS of weddings which we now bring, coupled with our own creative vision, to our own clients everywhere. We are beyond thrilled to be bringing our experience and incredible passion to Parksville, Vancouver Island, a place we have loved for years and can now finally call home. Don’t worry though, there’s no where we aren’t happy to travel, especially on the island ;)

During our time working behind the scenes of these large studios, we noticed things that troubled us—issues that couples would never find out about. Unfortunately, such problems often arise due to the sheer scale at which these studios operate. When handling a high volume of weddings, it's challenging for each client to receive the personalized attention they truly deserve. That's when we made a conscious decision to be different.

A Little About Me

Our foremost change is that for every single wedding, either Me, Ali, or both of us will personally lead the event as your primary shooters. This way, you can always be rest assured that your precious moments are being captured by the same passionate and experienced professionals you trusted to be there in the first place. In cases where a larger team is necessary, we carefully select highly skilled individuals from our circle of trusted associates to shoot along side us.

While this means we can't take on as many weddings in a year, it allows us to dedicate our love and creativity to each client fully. Our commitment to transparency is another aspect we take pride in. Unfortunately, dishonesty has become somewhat of a norm in the industry, but we promise to be completely open and honest with you. Any information you need to know will be shared with you, and all your questions will be answered truthfully. After all, this is your WEDDING DAY, and you deserve nothing less than a consistent, trustworthy team by your side.

But that's not all we have to offer. Beyond providing amazing photos and videos, we are friendly, outgoing, and enthusiastic people. We want you to have an incredible time while we capture your special moments. Apart from your partner, we'll probably be the people you spend the most time with on your wedding day, so we believe it's essential to create a fun and enjoyable experience together.

Your Wedding day deserves to be nothing short of amazing, just as you've imagined it. Let's connect and start planning what we hope will be the most incredible day of your lives. We can't wait to be a part of your journey and turn your wedding day dreams into everlasting memories!
