Hey! We are Tyra and Braylan
We have been together since 2013, and have grown together to build a life we love and a business that challenges and excites us! We believe wedding photography and videography should never be taken as just a job. You need to be wildly passionate about it and committed to doing the best you can to serve your clients each and every time.
Your memories are meant to be preserved. We believe photos and video are a gift for our future selves, and something we need to value. We want to know your story, not just your love story, but who each of you is, as individuals as well. What brought you two together, and what made you want to spend your lives growing together? This is so much more than a wedding day, it is the start of your marriage full of new and beautiful memories.
We believe it is the greatest honour to be asked to capture your most special day, and we will do all we can to showcase it in the most beautiful way possible.
We want to do more than just witness your day, but feel your feelings as your voice cracks as you try to make it through your vows as tears roll down your cheek. We want to capture those goosebumps you felt as you saw each other for the first time on your wedding morning. To bring those butterflies back to the surface as you watch your dad cry for the second time ever as he shares how happy he is for you two during speeches. Those moments are priceless, and you should never lose those memories. To freeze in time these once in a lifetime, surreal fleeting moments before you forget. I want your memories to carry on to your grandchildren, so they can see the love you had for each other.
We want you to have these moments frozen in time so that in 50 years you can watch your beautiful film and look through your weathered album and say to one another, “I still choose you, and the love we felt on that day has only grown stronger, with so much depth.” Rather than fading, these memories will remind you of the strength you have, the love you’ve chosen. We want your investment with us to be something you cherish for a lifetime. The cake will be eaten, and the flowers will wilt, but your memories will last a lifetime.
Take a moment to dream of your wedding day, the details, the family and friends, all the laughter and emotion. You have put so much of your time and thought into this day, and I am sure a large investment to bring it all together. Now imagine that day being photographed by friends, the images are blurry and grainy, some of your favorite moments are so unflattering. The edits might be horrid or they just simply missed big parts of the day, or were too distracted by taking pictures to enjoy the day.
I asked you to do this little exercise, because we have done a great amount of research on what wedding couples regret most. (In an effort to help serve our clients better) The top regret? Not hiring a professional, or not looking at enough of their portfolio or clicking with their personality properly. Your wedding day is SO important and the person you hire to be by your side all day capturing should also be SO important! The second regret you might ask? Not getting a Videographer. I can attest to this one. One of the main reasons we now offer videography is because we will forever regret that we do not have a beautiful film to showcase our incredible and blurry wedding day.
At the end of the day, we want to help you find the perfect fit for your wedding day, even if that is not us! I would love to get on the phone with you or take you for coffee and hear about your vision for your wedding day, how you two met, what you love to do in your free time etc. The more I know you, and you get to know me, the better you will feel about it possibly being the right fit. And if you are unsure, that is okay! We love referring our clients to more budget friendly photographers, or those with different editing styles, or those who will stay purely professional and distant vs our friendly, warm style.
Whether it’s via Skype/ Zoom, over the phone or in person, this is an important first step! I want to get to know you, and make sure I can serve you best on your wedding.

We won't just be a stranger following you around. We believe your day should be amazing from start to finish and we are there to help with that! From getting to truly know each other ahead of time, to dancing on the dance floor.
We arrive early to capture all the butterflies and details and stay late into the night. One thing I have always believed is Full Day Coverage means you should never stress about squeezing in a first dance before the photographer leaves. We will be there for it all.
My clients have told me before, I am so much more than a photographer, often I will be the one doing up the brides dress, helping her put in earrings and fixing the glue on her eyelashes (thanks to fake nails). I often am keeping the annoying relatives from overwhelming the couple with iPhone photos and helping move along the timeline or slow things down according to my couples requests. I am there to make your day the best it can be.
Throughout your day, I’ll be weaving in and out to make sure I catch every precious moment, including moments that went unseen. That quick kiss at the dinner table or tucking that loose strand of hair behind your ear. Even those hilarious moments you might miss on the dance floor of the guests. All the moments that make your heart flutter.
We have photographed in every possible condition. Whether it is harsh sun, or fogged over. Rain or snow, we have been in it all and know how to create art in every condition.
My editing style is warm, romantic and emotional. I believe in embracing the messy to capture authentic laughter, the wind swept hair and all. Studies show people associate warmer photos with love and happiness, and that played a huge role in my editing style. If you are by a gorgeous blue lake or red cliffs, those colours will shine through, I choose authentic colouring with warm undertones.
So you have planned out your wedding day, found your dream photographer to document it all, now what? Something I have learned over time is no one prints their photos. Not because they don't want to, but because they forget or put it off for the right moment.
Our Fine Art Wedding Albums are such a perfect way to ensure your memories are documented, printed on the most beautiful flat lay paper and perfect to have in your living room to pull out for guests to flip through for years to come! There is just something so amazing about being able to truly touch the photos and not just have them on a computer.
“I TOLD MY THEN FIANCE (NOW HUSBAND), THAT I WISH WE COULD HAVE SOME ONE LIKE TYRA DO OUR WEDDING! ALL OF HER PICTURES LOOKED SO WARM AND NATURAL LIKE YOU COULD FEEL THE LOVE AND ATTENTION SHE HAD PUT INTO THEM. SO I WAS SO GRATEFUL AND EXCITED WHEN SHE HAD OUR DATE AVAILABLE.
DURING THE WEDDING TYRA WAS SO MUCH FUN TO BE AROUND SHE HELPED MAKE IT FUN IN THE CHAOS AND WAS WILLING TO SCALE STEEP HILL SIDES TO GET A GOOD SHOT! WE GOT OUR PICTURES BACK IN WHAT SEEMED LIKE NO TIME. AS WE LOOKED THROUGH THEM SOME PICTURES BROUGHT TEARS TO OUR EYE AND OTHERS MADE US LAUGH SO HARD WE ALMOST WET OUR PANTS BUT MOST OF ALL LOOKING THROUGH THE PICTURES WE COULD FEEL HOW SPECIAL OUR DAY WAS AND WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE THAT'S WHAT REALLY MATTERED TO US.
TYRA WE ARE SO GRATEFUL THAT YOU JOINED US ON OUR SPECIAL DAY. I DON'T THINK ANYONE COULD HAVE BROUGHT THE SAME LIFE TO OUR PHOTOS AS YOU DID.”
-Laura
ALL our wedding packages include a complementary engagement session. We find this essential for getting to know our couples, and more importantly, get our couples used to being in front of a camera. We take our time, play music, hang out and learn about each other, that way on your wedding day its like you just have new friends to spend the day with you. We will already know what styles you loved from your engagement shoot to ensure posing, prompts and style that is perfect for you two!
Not your average Family photographer, and not our common booking. We mainly only book past couple clients for family photos as we stay very busy otherwise.
If you do book us for family photos we believe in authentic emotion. We will do more directing and prompting to help make each "pose" natural and beautiful. Eg. Get the kids to tickle their parents, play tag in a small box I draw in the sand, or give the biggest group bear hug etc.
This allows me to get genuine laughter and movement out of the kids with minimal whining, complaining and forced smile.
UM THIS IS MY FAVOURITE!!! We had a 400 person wedding, it was beautiful, however it truly showed me the power and beauty Elopements hold. This is when a couple wants to do something unique, just for them, or with a few family and friends. Maybe hop on a plane to Greece and share your vows at sunset. Or hike/ helicopter to a mountain peak for a ceremony at sunrise. The options are endless! We have had the opportunity to help design and plan out many of our couples elopements and would be honored to help you!
Ladies only! So I designed my first studio 2 years ago. I wanted a private space where I could have boudoir sessions. I wanted a place where women of every size, colour, age (19+) and comfort level were welcome. I've photographed women in their 60s, women with new weight gain they are learning to love, women wanting to feel confident for their husband. women wanting to do something solely for themselves, and ALL of these women were incredible!!!! Truly the most incredible experiences working along each lady, working through their nerves and insecurities and watching them leave with new love and confidence for themselves. It's truly an experience I believe every woman should have!
