Elopements
Wide enough for the mountain, the ocean and the two of you.
Elopements
Small celebration, big feelings.
An elopement puts the focus back on the two of you — a mountaintop, a beach at sunset, a quiet garden, with or without a few loved ones.
I'll help you think through locations, timing and permits, then document the vows, the portraits and the adventure in between.
Location ideas
From the Sea to Sky corridor to Pacific beaches and city gardens.
Ceremony + portraits
Your vows, a celebration with anyone who's there, and unhurried portraits.
Across BC
Vancouver, the North Shore, Whistler and further afield.

Questions couples ask
Do we need a permit?
Some parks and gardens require a permit for ceremonies or commercial photography. I'll help you check what applies to your spot.
Can family come?
Absolutely. Elopements can be just the two of you or include a small group.
What about the marriage licence?
You'll need a BC marriage licence and a licensed officiant — we can plan the timing around them.
What if the weather turns?
We'll pick a backup and keep the plan flexible — mountain weather changes fast.

Months prior to the proposal he helped me in many ways, helped with timing, outfit colours, location so many things I wouldn’t have thought about! We had the best time and I couldn’t be happier with the way the pics turned out! I’d reccomend Joenell for any of your photography needs! Not only is he a great guy he’s a fantastic photographer!”
