some of my favorite BC elopement photographs

My elopement portfolio features stunning locations, including breathtaking helicopter rides to mountaintops, capturing intimate moments with panoramic views. From the serene beauty of Golden Ears Provincial Park to the tranquil allure of Vancouver oceanside settings, each shot showcases the diverse landscapes of British Columbia. Lush forests add a magical touch, creating the perfect backdrop for couples seeking adventure and romance in nature.

“… but we are really awkward infront of the camera.”

I hear this almost all the time. It is MY job as your photographer to guide your through an elopement experience that does not feel awkward, It’s my job to get real emotion out of you & capture images that feel authentic to your relationship. There are no fake smiles here.

“Beyond thrilled with the whole experience!
Amanda was fun, and easy to talk to and be around. I love her photography style, dark and moody. Yet soft and romantic.
We had never done a photoshoot before and felt stiff, but with some helpful guidance she had us feeling more natural and relaxed. The results, amazing!
We got tons out of great photos that boosted confidence, and memories we will cherish forever.”

How to Legally Elope in British Columbia: A Quick Guide

Planning to elope in British Columbia? It’s simple and straightforward! Here’s how to legally tie the knot in this stunning Canadian province.

  1. Get Your Marriage License: Apply for a marriage license at any Service BC location. It’s valid for 3 months and costs around CAD 100. You’ll need two pieces of ID and proof of marital status.

  3. Have Two Witnesses: You’ll need two witnesses, aged 19 or older, to sign your marriage certificate.

  4. Exchange Vows: Once you have your license and officiant, exchange vows in your chosen location — whether it’s on a beach, in the mountains, or a quiet park.

  5. Marriage Certificate: After your ceremony, your officiant will file your marriage with the BC government. Request an official marriage certificate as proof.

Elope in British Columbia and enjoy a stress-free, legal ceremony in one of the most beautiful places on Earth!
