We’re Jen + Brian—partners in life and storytellers at heart. Based on the Sunshine Coast of BC for the past 13 years, we are endlessly in love with the peace and wild beauty this coastline offers.

Living here for over a decade has given us a deep-rooted understanding of the land. We specialize in the Sunshine Coast—a hidden gem where you can have an entire breathtaking location to yourselves with no permits required—as well as the rugged, iconic shores of Tofino and Ucluelet.

Between the two of us, we bring a combined 20 years of experience in wedding photography and filmmaking. This isn't just a job for us; it’s a craft we’ve honed over decades. Having two perspectives means we capture the grand, cinematic scale of the West Coast alongside the in between moments and intimate details of your connection.

Our passion is creating an experience that reflects your story in the most authentic way possible. We are here to provide a reassuring, down-to-earth presence that allows you to let go and fully soak all the beauty of your day. Our approach is calm and intuitive, blending cinematic imagery with real emotion so your day can unfold exactly as it should: naturally.

We are most at home when we are documenting elopements & small intimate weddings. There is something profoundly special about getting to know our couples, learning the rhythms of your story, and capturing your connection in its most genuine form. We truly feel like we have the best job in the world.

We believe eloping should remove the weight of expectations and stress. To make that a reality, we offer all-inclusive elopement packages. We handle the planning, timelines, and logistics, coordinating with a close-knit community of talented local vendors we know and trust. From florals and hair and makeup to the wedding commissioner, we’ve taken care of everything so you can simply show up, breathe, and be present.

Because we work as a dedicated team, we also serve as your legal witnesses. We take pride in making a truly private, "just us" elopement possible, standing by your side as both your artists and your support system.

The beauty of the West Coast is likely why you chose to marry here, and we believe that beauty deserves a place in your gallery. We intentionally weave fine-art landscape imagery into every collection and film we deliver.

Away from the camera, Brian and I cherish a quiet, intentional lifestyle. Our days are filled with simple joys: snuggling with our three cats—Joni, Teddy, and Mister—or heading out for peaceful walks in nature. We find our inspiration in life’s smaller moments—meaningful conversations over a home-cooked vegan meal, creative projects, and quality time with the people we love.

We can’t wait to hear the vision you have for your day and create a collection of dreamy photos and films that you’ll cherish forever.
