You might be in the right place if...

you want your wedding to feel like your favourite kind of weekend: packing the cooler full of snacks, snagging a campsite by the river or the cutest lil A-frame cabin you can find, and waking up to camp coffee in your favourite mugs, connecting with nature, sampling the local ice cream shops, all-around wholesome fun.

you’re not really interested in “looking like you had a great time” — you want to actually be having one, the kind where you forget to perform anything because you’re too busy being in it

you’re drawn to analogue, unplugged kinds of days — being in nature with no real agenda and no phones. just time spent together, good snacks, and a lil swim.

you care more about the meaning of the day than the performance of it. you're not trying to impress anyone, just spending the day in a way that feels honest to your relationship and the way you already live together.

"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."

HOW IT FEELS TO WORK TOGETHER:

you don’t need a full plan when you reach out — most couples come to me with a rough idea of how they want the day to feel, and we build from there, together.


I’ll help you figure out locations, timing, permits, and all the logistics. we’ll talk through your values and priorities and shape the day around that, so everything feels naturally aligned.


on the day itself, I’m there with you — quietly documenting as things unfold. I will occasionally direct gently, but this is to facilitate connection rather than interrupting it.


and afterwards, you receive a gallery of images that hold the honest memory of your lived experience.

"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!"
