SMALL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IN VANCOUVER, WHISTLER + BEYOND
Candid Wedding Photography That Puts Everyone At Ease
For outdoor micro weddings. And couples who want everyone to relax and have fun!
Relive your small wedding with laidback photos full of emotion.
You want a stress-free wedding. One that feels like going to the most epic dance party ever—mixed with hosting the perfect dinner party.
You want to feel relaxed, present, and so happy. And you want photos that reflect that magic.
But…you don’t want to interrupt the party for pictures! And you definitely don’t want awkward or stuffy photos.
HEY I’M VANESSA!
I help couples remember their small weddings by capturing all the moments, big, small and in-between.
My relaxed day-of experience makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and forget I’m there! And the result is beautiful candid photos that feel laidback, real, and true.
My candid-focused approach allows me to document your day as it naturally unfolds, by listening for laughter and looking for hugs, because that’s where the magic happens!
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
VIBE CHECK
We get to know each other. We’ll be spending a lot of time together, it’s important we get along.
PLANNING
We plan your day around what matters most to you and when the light is the best.
BEST DAY EVER
You have the perfect day. You take it all in, stay present, and celebrate your love in the most YOU way possible.
I would 10/10 recommend your photography services to anyone!
It's been a crazy two years since we first met you at the wedding show in Richmond in Feb 2020, but we're so happy we decided to go with you. You bring such a positive and chill attitude, yet are so professional. You made us feel at ease, embraced our silly side and let us be true to ourselves. The photos themselves look spectacular! I would 10/10 recommend your photography services to anyone :) Thank you again!!

WHAT’S INCLUDED
Stress-free photography
Having a just-us experience and worried about choosing a full-day elopement package? Don’t worry, it doesn’t mean it’s going to be a full-day photo shoot! I will simply be documenting you both having the BEST day ever! Imagine we’re friends on an adventure and I just happen to have a camera.
Online Gallery
The best way to share the story of your entire wedding day your online gallery. Making the brave decision to only have those who matter the most to you present on your wedding day (especially if it’s just the two of you) makes it all the more important to document the crap out it because I’m sure your people will be waiting to see the photos!
Print Shop
What is your first reaction when you see a physically printed photo? Is it to say “Awwwww!!!”.
Photos are experienced viscerally when in printed form. Don’t let the photos of one of your best days ever, become digital dust. Proudly display them around your home.
By ordering through the Print Shop, you’ll have access to my absolute favourite labs that only produce the highest quality products and have the highest customer service standard.
Travel fees
All my micro wedding packages and adventure elopement packages include my travel and accommodations to wherever in the world you want to elope. (I’m fluent in Spanish in case you’re getting married in Mexico! 😜)

“Vanessa & Dennis were one of the best decisions we made through the whole wedding process. From our engagement photos to our big day, every moment with them was an absolute delight! Their creativity and direction made it so easy to be comfortable posing in front of the camera. All of the pictures were perfectly natural and were better than we could have ever imagined. We highly recommend Fortune Hill Photography to anyone who wants a seamlessly amazing experience. Vanessa and Dennis helped make our wedding day extra special, and we will always be grateful to them for all of their hard work.“
