Chilliwack Wedding Photographer | Fraser River Lodge Magic

If you’re dreaming of a wedding surrounded by breathtaking views and wild natural beauty, then Fraser River Lodge in Agassiz, BC, is the perfect venue. As a Fraser Valley wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing some truly magical wedding days at this stunning location, and trust me—it never disappoints!

As a wedding photographer, I can confidently say that Fraser River Lodge is one of the most picturesque wedding venues in the Fraser Valley and provides a stunning natural backdrop for your wedding photos. 

xAlex and Nadia’s June wedding was as unique as the couple themselves, complete with an epic windstorm, moody overcast skies, and their two adorable dachshunds. As the wind whipped through the valley, it added a dramatic flair to the day—ruffling hair and dresses, sweeping through the wildflower fields, and creating a cinematic atmosphere that made every photo feel alive. The Fraser River Lodge, nestled against the stunning backdrop of the mountains and the river, was the perfect stage for this one-of-a-kind celebration.

After the ceremony, we ventured through the property capturing wedding party and couple portraits. The overcast skies provided the most dreamy, diffused light, highlighting the vibrant colors of the wildflowers and creating a soft, romantic vibe. These are the moments I live for as a Chilliwack wedding photographer—capturing raw, authentic connections surrounded by nature’s splendor.

Surrounded by friends and family who had traveled from near and far, the day was a heartfelt celebration of love and togetherness. Despite the wild weather, the warmth and joy shared by everyone present kept the spirit of the day glowing. It was a beautiful reminder that even with life’s unpredictability—or perhaps because of it—love always finds a way to shine.

The Lodge’s picturesque setting is ideal for couples who want to embrace the natural beauty of the Fraser Valley. With its expansive property, the venue can comfortably host weddings of up to 200 guests, ensuring there’s plenty of space for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations.

Fraser Valley Wedding Photographer | Campbell Valley Park Portraits and Romantic Backyard Wedding

A Romantic Backyard Wedding in Aldergrove, BC

When I first met Katelyn and Robert for coffee, almost a year ago now, to discuss their wedding photography vision, I was a ball of nerves but honestly I had zero reason to be! These two are the kindest most laid back couple ever and their main goal was for the guests to feel comfortable and have fun! We had such an amazing time at their engagement session earlier this Spring in the gorgeous Cherry Blossoms at Queen Elizabeth Park, just like Robert’s parents did many years ago, that I knew their wedding day would be nothing short of perfect and exactly as they had described.

Truly there is really no place like home. From your own childhood backyard, to your grandparents to your Great Uncle Joe, planning a backyard wedding is an amazing idea!

Top 5 Benefits to having a Backyard Wedding:

1. Your Fur Babies can Attend- no hassle, no deposits, no travel and no babysitter needed!

2. Dates are Flexible- complete and utter freedom when booking and no venue deposit is needed.

3. Guest List- you can have as few of your closest friends and family, or invite your entire graduating class- just remember though, unless your parent’s backyard is the size of a couple football fields, space may be an issue!

4. Finances- while saving on venue costs don’t forget to have a back up rain plan and rent a large tent to host all your guests, you don’t want to have to delegate out who is going to hold hold the umbrella over grandma while she eats her dinner.

5. All the Feels- Simply getting ready and saying I do’s to the person of your dreams in the same back yard you played in as a child just can’t be beat. Everyone always seems to have so much fun at backyard weddings- and there truly is no place like home.

When I met up with Katelyn the morning of her wedding she was so relaxed and confident- there was zero nerves- just confidence about marrying the love of her life. We quickly whisked off to Campbell Valley Park for her and Robert’s first look and it took everything in my power to not start crying at Robert’s reaction to seeing Katelyn for the first time on their wedding day. These two are so in love.

Robert’s parents home was both the ceremony and reception location and the amount of work they put into their property to make it absolutely perfect for this love filled day, did not go unnoticed. Can you believe that their parents did all the decor themselves?! Robert’s mom grew all the flowers in their backyard and Katelyn’s mom put together all the Bouquets for the day! Robert and Katelyn had Growlers designed as wedding favours and brewed all the beer for the day. The whole day was filled with love and laughter surrounded by family and friends- exactly as Robert and Katelyn wanted.

Congratulations Robert and Katelyn!

Pitt Meadows Engagement Photographer| Pitt Lake Engagement | Gagan & Nick

GAGAN & NICK

PITT MEADOWS ENGAGEMENT SESSION

It’s been five years since I first met Gagan when was my practicum student at my day job. I loved her personality immediately and I was beyond thrilled when she graduated and was hired on full time. Over the past five years I have watched not only her confidence grow but her love for Nick. Her whole face lights up when she talks about him and they are absolutely perfect together. Long before Nick even proposed to her, Gagan would always comment on my wedding photography and excitedly tell me that when the time comes she would want me to take her engagement pictures. So I was beyond thrilled when Nick finally proposed to her in NEW YORK on top of the Rock in June- he even asked a stranger to make sure to get a picture! The cutest thing ever!

As soon as Gagan came back to work she started talking with me about doing their engagement pictures- she had only one request- MOUNTAIN views! Not a problem I told her as we brainstormed different locations knowing that Pitt Lake was the perfect location to capture her vision. We planned it all out, just to come to the date and have to cancel because of all the smoke from the wild fires this summer- you could not see a few feet in front of you, let alone our gorgeous mountains! We decided to reschedule again for September.

September came and so did the Fall rains- torrential rains. Gagan and I messaged over and over all morning hoping that the rains would let up but the rains didn’t let up- in fact it rained harder and harder so in the end we decided to reschedule again. Finally we decided to plan for a weekday instead of waiting for the weather to cooperate for us on the weekend and boy did it pay off! We had so much fun exploring the gorgeousness that is Pitt Lake and the surrounding area for their engagement pictures.

Congratulations Gagan and Nick~ I am so excited for your upcoming wedding this Spring where I get to attend as a friend and celebrate your love for each other.

Abbotsford Prom Photographer | Willband Creek Park | Sydney and Family

PROM SEASON... one of my favourite times of the year.  In Abbotsford, BC Willband Creek Park is one of my favorite locations for prom photos and to celebrate with families this huge milestone. There is just something about Prom that makes me all giddy inside and I wish I could photograph all the seniors graduating but that is just not feasible!  Sydney's mom booked me at the beginning of her grade twelve year to make sure that this moment was captured not only for Sydney, but for them as a family.  We spent some time together right before she was off to prom, and it was pefection.  Congratulations Sydney, I wish you nothing but the best for your future.
