WHISTLER ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGES + PRICES
Have the Whistler elopement day of your dreams
You made the brave decision to say “no” to the non-essentials and stay true to yourselves. You’re eloping because it just suits you guys-- it’s part of your story-- a story that deserves to be told.
MEET YOUR WHISTLER WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER!
HEY, I’M VANESSA!
I help couples relive their elopement day with photos that tell the story of your day, exactly how you experienced it!
My relaxed day-of experience makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and forget I’m there! And the result is beautiful candid photos full of emotions.
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!
Always ready with guidance whenever you need me, I help you be completely present on your best day ever!
MEET YOUR SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER
My hubby Dennis! He not only takes a pretty damn good photo, he is also our timekeeper to make sure we stay on track, our navigator to get us to all places safely, and a calming presence when the excited nerves start to ramp up.
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, so let’s have a quick chat!
PLANNING
We plan your day around what matters most to you and when the light is at its very 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.
“…easily the most stress-free vendor we worked with”
[They] were genuinely so much fun to have around. We truly couldn't have wished for better photographers to capture our special day. We just can't express in words how grateful we are to the Fortune Hill team.

WHAT’S INCLUDED
Custom Timeline
I work with you to plan a day focused on what matters most so that you never feel rushed and includes plenty of time to soak in every single moment.
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!

All my adventure elopement packages include my travel and accommodations in Whistler and along the Sea-to-Sky corridor.

“Each one took me back to the moment.”
Vanessa is responsible, passionate, talented, and professional. After viewing these photos, each one took me back to the moment, filled with joy, happiness, tears, and honestly, tired. We appreciate every moment you capture during that day. They are so beautiful and we believe we will cherish them for our lives.

FAQs
-
Absolutely! Modern elopements no longer adhere to the last-minute, 2-hour vibes. They are much more intentional and planned, including who celebrates with you! Keep it intimate with your 10 ride or dies, or enjoy a micro wedding sized guest list with 50 of your closest family + friends!
-
No stress! If you are flexible on when you get married, we can compare calendars when you’re ready to set the date!
-
Don’t worry! I only ever book one wedding per day so we can totally decide that later once the plan for the day starts to come together.
-
Let’s get you officially booked so that the planning begins! We’ll brainstorm what your day could look like, see what’s realistically possible, what you’d like to include, who you’d like to invite + have the best day ever! Fill out this form and I’ll get back to you within 24 hours!
-
You bet! To start with, I require a 25% non-refundable retainer at contract signing.
From there, I usually have a 25% payment half way between when you book + your wedding day, then the balance is due 2 weeks before your wedding. Alternatively, once your initial retainer is paid, I can set you up on monthly payments between booking + your wedding date for the balance.
I also offer an autopay option so that you don’t have to remember to pay your invoice when it’s due. Instead, your payment is automatically charged to your credit card. (Don’t worry, I send you a heads up a few days before the payment is processed so that there are no surprises!)
