I'M ALL IN FOR YOUR DAY

Hi, I’m Hayley, your go-to Victoria BC Wedding Photographer and Filmmaker. I’m so glad you’re here.

This blog is something I’ve wanted to create for a long time. After capturing over 100 weddings across Vancouver Island (and a few unforgettable ones beyond), I’ve gathered more stories, lessons, and behind-the-scenes moments than I can count. So I thought, why keep all that goodness to myself?

Whether you’re newly engaged and starting your planning journey, deep into Pinterest boards, or simply love a good love story, this space is for you. I’ll be sharing the beauty of weddings across Victoria BC and all over the island, from oceanfront ceremonies to garden parties and black-tie estate soirées. More importantly, this is where you’ll find real advice, honest insight, and helpful resources from my years of experience behind the camera.

As a wedding photo and video team, we get a front-row seat to every kind of moment. The ones you planned and the ones that unfold unexpectedly. With every wedding I shoot, I learn something new: a small trick to make the morning calmer, a timeline tweak that lets you enjoy cocktail hour, or a thoughtful way to include your guests in your story. My hope is that this blog becomes a resource that helps you feel supported, inspired, and grounded as you plan your day.

You’ll also find full wedding features here. Stories told through stills and film that showcase the diverse, breathtaking beauty of Vancouver Island weddings. From Tofino’s wild coastlines to downtown Victoria’s historic charm, this island has no shortage of incredible backdrops, and it’s an honour to tell love stories in every corner of it.

Because photography and filmmaking are about how it felt just as much as how it looked, these posts won’t just be about the visuals. I want you to feel the energy of each celebration, the connection between couples, the quiet glances, the loud dance floors, and everything in between. That’s what I aim to capture every time I pick up a camera, and what I hope you experience in every post.

Whether you’re searching for wedding planning tips, looking for the best venues on Vancouver Island, or simply want to see real love stories captured through a documentary lens, this is the place.

I’m so glad you’re here.

Go ahead and dive in. If a post speaks to you, save it, share it, or send me a message. I’d love to hear what resonates.
