Thank you for reaching out to me!
Since you have inquired it means you are planning to propose to someone you love! Proposals are such big moments in life and so exciting. Documenting these moments are what inspired me to get into this style of photography. I love being the person who gets to make people happy with memories in the form of photographs.
There are so many incredible photographers out there and choosing one is as much about their portfolio as it is about their personality. My goal with photography is to capture the two of you for who you really are and make you feel confident and comfortable. I am not striving for the perfect photo, I love when the wind blows your hair a little bit out of place. I am focused on documenting your unique love story and what has brought you here!
Hey friend,
I’m Sarah
I am here to give you the absolute best experience, photographs you will fall in love with and help you all along the way.
I have been taking photos since I was 18 and have been photographing weddings & elopements for the past 5 years. The people like YOU that I get to work with make this job an absolute dream. I feel so grateful to be in a career that I love this much!
Your precious moments are an honour to witness and capture. Every single one of them! The sweet in between moments, big laughs, smiles across the room and the tight hugs with friends and family. I will be there for all of them and capture them so that you can look back on these memories forever.
My Approach
This is not a business agreement. This is a collaboration. A relationship. That is where the real magic happens.
Having been on both sides of the experience, I know the magic happens when we are all super comfortable with each other. My main focus above everything else is to make sure my couples are having a good time. Most of the people I work with say they hate having their photos taken because they feel awkward, and by the end they say how enjoyable it was. Photos don’t have to be this uncomfortable experience, it can actually be a really fun time.
I always encourage people to invest in a photographer whose work you love and who you connect with personally. Photographs are one of the only things that increase in value over time as they get passed down through generations.
I will be here to help you all while you are planning your dream proposal. With years of experience and time spent in Whistler I can help you pick the perfect location and timeline. I am here to make this experience as stress free as possible and help you all along the way!

On Mountain Proposal
Do you love skiing and snowboarding with your partner? Have you ever dreamed of proposing at the top of a mountain with incredible views all around you? If so, this package is perfect for you! How it works is we will meet in the village together and I will pretend to be a photographer you have hired for the day to get some photos of you skiing. We will travel up to the peak of either Whistler or Blackcomb together and then while we are getting photos you can ask the question. I love being a part of these proposals because we get to create a connection beforehand and your partner will be completely surprised.
$1400 - 2 Hours
Helicopter Proposal
This is an amazing opportunity to experience flying over the mountains and then proposing in a beautiful private alpine location. We will meet up at the Blackcomb Helicopter pad and I will pretend to be working with their social media and fly up with you. We can then celebrate your engagement in the mountains and get some incredible photos.
1 Hour - $900 | 2 Hours - $1400

Film Photography
$350/Roll of Film
Having a mixture of film and digital is such a fun way to bring a timeless twist into your photos.
These often end up becoming my clients (and my) favourite photos from their day. There's something so special about film that's hard to explain, almost like comparing listening to a song in your headphones vs hearing it come out of an old jukebox.
Rush Gallery Turnaround
$500
My editing turnaround time is 4 weeks, but if you'd like all your photos back the week of your proposal this is a great option. This is a great way to share all of your images with your friends and family and make them feel like they were there with you. Receive your entire gallery back within 7 calendar days of your proposal date!
FAQ

Within 72 hours after the elopement you will receive web resolution sneak peek images to share online with friends and family. Your full online gallery will be delivered within 4 weeks of the ceremony date.
-
The number of images I deliver varies but I will always include plenty of everything I capture. I deliver a minimum of 50 images an hour but I focus on quality of images rather than a specific amount. It is an honour to capture such a significant milestone in your lives and I put a lot of energy into making sure you can relive the memories fully!
-
No, editing is half the magic that goes into creating your photographs!
-
A 50% non-refundable, non-transferable reservation retainer is due at the time of booking. The full balance is due 30 days prior to the ceremony date.
-
There is beauty in every weather. Clouds act as a diffuser to create soft, flattering lighting, rain covers the greenery with a glistening sheen, snow transforms the landscape into a winter wonderland and sun provides amazing light to play with.
-
Dress for the weather and check the conditions because they are always changing. Be over prepared and bring more than you need, you can always leave an extra layer with me. Sensible shoes are the number one item to remember! You don’t want to limit yourself to where you can go or your level of comfort because of your choice of footwear.
-
My main objective is for you to enjoy your day and feel comfortable! I take the time to get to know you, your sense of humour and favourite things about each other. I will do my best to ignite your confidence until you feel totally relaxed in front of the camera. I will give you easy instructions, guiding you to interact together in ways that allow me to capture candid moments in a flattering style.
The Booking Process
Just in case you haven’t booked a lot of professional photographers before this is a little breakdown of how it all works.
Planning an elopement can be overwhelming but I am here to make your life easier and make the planning process as smooth as possible!
STEP 1:
After looking through this price guide we can organize a short 15 minute facetime to get to know one another! This is a casual no pressure chat so that we can meet face to face. You can ask me any and all of your questions about working with me and you can tell me about your dreams for your day.
After getting to know one another it is time to make your date official! I will send you a contract to sign and a 50% non refundable deposit to secure your date. The non refundable part is pertaining to if you decide to cancel your session all together. But, if for whatever reason you need to change the date of your session we will just move that deposit to a new date that works for all of us.
STEP 2:
After the contract and invoice are completed the date will be secured and we can work together to create your dream day! I will be there to answer any and all of your questions and help you throughout the planning process. I can help you with timelines, vendor recommendations, location ideas and everything else you can think of! This is also a great time to create a pinterest or mood board so I can see exactly what kind of vibe you are dreaming of.
STEP 3:
Time for the big day! I will be there every step of the way capturing the big and small moments and everything in between.
72 hours after your elopement I will send along 10-20 sneak peek photos. You can share these with anyone and everyone!
STEP 4:
4 weeks after your big day I will send along your high resolution elopement gallery. I always recommend sitting down to look through the gallery the first time together on a computer (or really anything bigger then an iphone). You can even grab a glass of wine or a cup of tea and take time reminiscing on your day. The gallery has a print store connected to it so you can order all of your high quality prints and albums from there. To me, photographs are not complete until they are printed! There is something so special about having a printed copy of your favourite photos to bring you back to memories.
