Crysta and Jordan reached out to me shortly after their breathtaking destination wedding in Mexico, eager to capture even more unforgettable moments—this time, in the wild beauty of their own backyard on Vancouver Island. They wanted something beyond the typical bridal portraits, something that truly reflected their love for nature and exploration.

After tossing around a few ideas, we landed on the perfect locations: a stunning waterfall in Port Alberni, where the mist and rushing water would create an almost dreamlike atmosphere, and a secluded lookout over the inlet, just in time for a glowy sunset. It was the ideal blend of raw adventure and romantic serenity.

I absolutely love when couples plan a separate bridal session—it allows for a relaxed, intimate, and immersive experience in dramatic, once-in-a-lifetime locations without the time constraints of a wedding day. Whether it’s hiking to a secluded mountaintop, chasing waterfalls, or wandering through alpine meadows, these sessions let you embrace the wild while still keeping your wedding day centered around family and friends.

So, who’s ready to throw on their wedding attire and embark on an unforgettable adventure? Let’s make some magic!
