When you decided to get married, a big flashy wedding never once appealed to you.


Sound familiar? If you’ve found your way here, it means you’ve decided to forgo the traditional, overwhelming wedding you've been to a dozen times and craft an intentional celebration that's uniquely yours. And honestly? I couldn’t be more excited for you! This is the start of an adventure that’s all about the experience, the connection, and the absolute joy of celebrating life on your own terms.

Welcome, friend! I'm Heather! (they/them)

about me:

and I am obsessed with the wide open feeling of summer in the mountains.


I'm a Squamish Elopement Photographer and Co-Planner and I truly believe in helping you craft an elopement experience that is intentional and true to who you are as a couple. If you'd rather read your vows on a wild adventure (whatever that looks like to you - type 2 fun not required!) than have a big flashy wedding, you're in the right place!


Based in Squamish, serving the Sea to Sky Corridor, Vancouver Island, BC, and Banff.

"WORDS CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO CAPTURE HOW MAGICAL HEATHER MADE OUR ELOPEMENT. FROM BEGINING TO END THEY SUPPORTED US IN MAKING DECISIONS EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. HELPING US CHOOSE LOCATIONS, FIGURE OUT TIMING AND EVEN SUGGESTING ACCOMMODATIONS AS WE CAME FROM OUT OF PROVINCE."

"FROM THE MOMENT WE MET HEATHER THEY INSTANTLY PUT US AT EASE. WE FELT SO COMFORTABLE AROUND THEM AND THEY ACTUALLY MADE US FEEL CALMER ABOUT THE WEDDING IN GENERAL JUST BECAUSE THEY WE SO CALM!"
