Getting Married in Campbell River
Campbell River is a town of eco-adventures and is well known for its salmon fishing, skiing, cultural treasures, golfing, endless freshwater lakes, diverse wildlife, and more.
There are so many fun things to do in Campbell River. Camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, and eating delicious locally sourced foods at our many fabulous restaurants. You can’t go wrong with a visit to Campbell River, and especially a wedding.
The weddings here always have an outdoor element to them making the images and videos absolutely breathtaking. You are never far from a beach, a lake, a river, or a giant waterfall. For me, there is almost no better place to celebrate a wedding. It is always private, intimate, joyful, fresh, colourful, and just fun here.
Best Time of Year & Weather
Campbell River is rarely too hot or too cold. With the last few years bringing a strange kind of weather, it is almost impossible to plan the perfect date. But no matter what, you can be sure that you’ll be warm even on the rainy days. It is also rarely windy in Campbell River unless you decide to get married along the beach.
In 2022, the best time to get married was between May – September. However, we had a surprisingly warm October that made for some beautiful sunny weddings last year. For summer lovers that want outdoor weddings, I recommend late June, July and September. August usually brings in the heat waves.

your ‘story.’ If you’re looking for bright, vibrant, emotional, and exciting images, you’ve come to the right place!
FOR THE COUPLES THAT VALUE EXPERIENCE & ADVENTURE
You’ve always done things a little differently. You love adventure and feel your relationship is about the two of you, not anyone else. You want to celebrate in a way that is both memorable, meaningful to you, and intentional. Let’s create the most epic, romantic day that you will never forget.
Imagine this. You are in one of the most stunning locations on the island, holding hands looking into each other’s eyes saying your vows. You’ve just spent the day exploring your favourite place or somewhere you’ve always wanted to go.
You’ve hiked to breathtaking forests, kayaked to stunning waterfalls, flown to uncharted mountaintops, set up a tent under the stars on a private beach, and watched the sunset together to have the most connected day. The options are endless. How do you want to celebrate?

Where Are You Located?
What Can I Add To My Package?
Wedding Film
This 3-10 minute film shows some of the best moments from your day. It’s a great way to deliver your wedding day 50 years in the future and also share with those that couldn’t be there. This also includes a 2nd shooter to ensure we don’t miss a single thing.
Speeches, Dance, or First Look on Film
Video recordings of the big moments in full. This way you have high-quality footage of what is said, how you react, and how your guests react. Often times it is hard to remember exactly what is said during these moments, the words said are one thing photos can’t capture.
Ceremony on Film
20-30 minute video of your wedding ceremony in full. Multiple mics will be used to ensure everything said is captured clearly. This way you can relive all the beautiful, memorable moments of our ceremony over and over again – Like the cute kids throwing flowers or giving you the rings, the first time you see each other, the tears and laughter during the vows from the two of you and your guests, the moment you kiss to make it official, the cheers when you walk down the aisle.
Interview Videos
This is a fun one! I interview your guests near the end of the night and ask them questions ranging from ‘what was your favourite part of the wedding day’ to ‘any advice for the happy couple on their first night married’ or really whatever you want to ask! This is fantastic for rowdy crowds OR for people that are too nervous to give speeches. I think it’s beautiful when parents or grandparents share their thoughts during these videos.
Adventure Session
This is great if you are traveling for your wedding! We can take 1-2 hours to have fun exploring the area together. We can find epic locations to capture adventure and excitement before your wedding day or after. For example, if you would rather have your wedding portraits at a more epic location, let’s get you dressed up again and go somewhere amazing!
Rehearsal Dinner
Most people don’t realize this but some of the most natural, exciting time with your guests is during the rehearsal dinner. This is the perfect time for photos or intimate video footage of you with the people you love.
