Vancouver Island Wedding Photography
Congratulations Newlyweds! I am so excited for you and your next big step in your story together.
My style is a blend of posed portraits in beautiful scenery, a few romantic close-ups, and lots of unscripted and documentary moments of your guests and your time together. I work up close with you, but I'm like your extra best friend for the day helping you enjoy all the moments without rushing, so you can take the time to be in your wedding day and enjoy the details.
A wedding day with Alanna leads to a photo gallery full of fun, colourful and lighthearted romantic photos.
When you receive your gallery in 8-10 weeks after your big day, you’ll have a big mix of timeless, frame-worthy images to share with your family. You’ll also have a great mix of artistic, documentary, and posed moments for a collection of your wedding day story images that you’ll be excited to share for all the years ahead.
Alanna is the ideal wedding photographer for:
The couple that loves being in natural, west coast style photos rain or shine, from farm table to Hatley Castle
Couples that love a mix of candids with traditional portraits and family group shots
Couples who just want to have a good time and occassionally be told where to stand and how to snuggle up for great photo moments
The wedding couple that wants sweet and sentimental moments for their intimate wedding
The animal lovers and anyone having backyard farm weddings, Ilamas, goats and all animals are welcome
The fun loving bridal parties who want to pop champagne and make some exciting photos
The West Coast romantics who really want those stunning beach and forest-inspired photos
The anything-couple goes couple that just wants to show up and mainly be present in their wedding with few posed photos, and trust me to run around and get great photos of you and your guests
The backyard weddings with your favourite people in an intimate space
Wedding Photography for the fun loving couples who want to be present in the experience of their wedding day, and have great photos as a bonus
If you want a blend of posed portraits in beautiful scenery, group family portraits, a few romantic close-ups, and lots of unscripted and documentary moments of your guests and your time together, we might be a great fit to work together

“Alanna has captured the most special moments of my family’s life, and has done so for over a decade. She has a fine attention to detail and magical ways of keeping sessions fun for all ages. We will cherish our wedding photos forever and continue to recommend Alanna to anyone looking for a customized, personal photography experience”

“These photos are Amazing!!!!!! We are totally blown away by the pictures. And to think we weren’t even going to have a photographer for the wedding. I’m so glad I came across you because you were obviously the perfect choice. You really did get a sense of us and our celebration and you captured our day in a wonderful way!!
We were also so impressed by your creativity, how you handled the guests (especially those persistent children!) and how group photos weren’t long or drawn out or “a huge thing”, but instead just a natural and easy moment that only added to the wedding experience.
We loved all the artsy photos, mixed with the classic photos, mixed with the unexpected photos!
You truly captured such tender moments that, thanks to you, we will be able to look back on in the years to come. Thank you so so much for sharing your gift with the world and with us! We really do appreciate it!”
I work up close with you, but I'm like your extra best friend for the day, helping you enjoy the moments without rushing, so you can take the time to be present in your wedding day.

“What a whirl wind day… I cannot express how grateful we are to you.
On Saturday you were so calm, composed, organized, and amazing! I’m just spilling out with love and gratitude. I hope you enjoyed your day and didn’t feel too much stress or pressure. I know I was so concerned with time, and full of nervous energy.
You never rushed or expressed concern and that was a huge help to our nerves. Your presence, experience and professionalism really helped make our day perfect.
You made me feel like a princess bride, and Scott my Prince Charming. I hope in the future you can help us capture our coming milestones and memories.
Most sincerely and gratefully,”
