Who the heck are we?

With a decade of experience freelancing in the photo and video industry, we’ve had the privilege of working on hundreds of shoots across a wide range of projects, from corporate storytelling to capturing heartfelt wedding moments.

As a husband-and-wife team based on Vancouver Island, we bring a personal touch to every project. Nathan specializes in videography, while Ali focuses on photography, making us a dynamic duo with a shared passion for crafting meaningful visual stories. Over the years, we’ve realized that the key to any successful shoot lies not only in technical expertise but also in how comfortable and confident our clients feel in front of the camera.

Nathan’s background as a swim instructor taught him the importance of creating a positive, welcoming environment—skills he now brings to every shoot. Combined with Ali’s keen eye for detail and ability to capture authentic moments, we pride ourselves on making every session fun, relaxed, and stress-free.

We’ve seen too often how uninspired professionals approach shoots as just another job—scrolling on their phones between takes or failing to engage with their clients. This lack of enthusiasm often results in flat, lifeless content that fails to connect. For us, this approach is simply not an option.

At Raw Elements Production, we believe every project deserves energy, creativity, and heart. Our mission is to make each client feel valued and at ease, so they can truly shine in the final product. We’re here to ensure the entire process is seamless, enjoyable, and something you’ll want to relive again and again.
