Wedding Photographer & Videographer, Family Session, Maternity

Vancouver Island, British Columbia (Tofino, Ucluelet, Victoria), Kootenays (Nelson, Revelstoke, Rossland), Rockies, Okanagan, California & Baha California, Mexico, Tahiti.

I love travelling and will absolutely be delighted to travel to capture your special day!

I don’t charge travel fees on most destination

(And I will organize my adventures around yours when I can!)

Hello lovers,

I am pleased to provide wedding & elopement photography and videography services and connect you with talented floral designers, hair and makeup artists, local jewellers and the most unique venues.

I am fascinated by capturing something in the way that I truly see it. Inspiring, truthful, charged with this sense of beauty and grand. Photographing people can be a deeply emotional thing for me. Getting to peek into someone else’s true and authentic life is one of the highest honours one could enjoy. I fall in love with the people who trust me enough to let their true selves emerge from my photographs of them.

You wonder if another human will ever be able to capture your story the way you want it told, or even better, surprise you with a story that you never knew about yourself. A great joy in my life is finding beauty in the simple, unnoticed details that often reveal the most authentic insights into who we are.

This work can be as satisfying for me as it is for you, and that’s why I treat every session as if it were the most important I’ve ever shot.

British Columbia is a well-known worldwide destination. Renowned for its rocky alpine, mountainous peaks, riverbanks, world-class skiing and mountain biking, and inland temperate rainforest, its magnitude appeal can tell its own story.

The familiarity of travel in my line of work takes me places near and far. I live between Vancouver Island and the Kootenays at the moment and shooting all along the west coast of America. This coming summer, I will share my time travelling and shooting between Vancouver Island, Victoria, Tofino, North Vancouver Island, and Revelstoke all the way to Norway, Amsterdam and possibly other exotic destinations. My lifelong dream is to use my French nationality to spend more time in French Polynesia (Tahiti), so consider it a sealed deal if your wedding is there! This place is the most beautiful place on earth!

I love that I can explore and quench my thirst for travel while working with you to capture your unforgettable moments on film. The diversity in landscapes sparks my creativity and curiosity immensely.

I am a true adventurer at heart and I will make it my mission to find the perfect place for you to promise your love to each other forever. Most travel is included in my packages and since I am a well-seasoned traveler I know how to keep my expenses down. I would happily canoe, ski, bike, climb, dive, and ride a giraffe (just kidding) to capture that moment for you in the most authentic way possible. I come from action backcountry photography so this is my element of comfort and I know how to take care of people in remote areas.

I plan on sailing to a few exotic destinations this year so meeting in remote world-class and unexplored destinations is an option!

Browse the galleries for a taste of creative, adventurous wedding ideas. Then contact me to start planning your dream mountain wedding. I will capture your wedding day in beautiful, creative, modern photographs.

-Agathe

One of a kind photographer

We hired Agathe to capture our wedding day on Vancouver Island in July. She also did an engagement shoot and honeymoon shoot for us! And we are just so incredibly thankful we found her. It has truly been a unique and beautiful experience working with Agathe. She went above and beyond for us - capturing images we didn't even know we wanted, taking us places we didn't expect to go (haha) and supporting us in unexpected ways.
Agathe's talent and passion is SPECIAL, we were blown away by her. The images we have from her mean so much to us and we feel we hit the photographer jackpot by finding her! Agathe, thank you so much for everything, we hope we will get to work with you again one day :)

An overall amazing experience!

Agathe is phenomenal at her job! My husband and I hired Agathe to take photos at our intimate wedding in Tofino this past August. We are still in shock by how amazing these photos turned out, we've had multiple people tell us that our photos belong in a magazine!! Not only does Agathe take breath-taking photos, she is so friendly, kind, and really helps add extra magic to a fairytale occasion. You will NOT be disappointed by her work and I promise that you'll want to be her friend afterwards!!

Stunning photos!

With our 2020 wedding being a bit 'touch and go' Agathe adapted to our needs wonderfully. She is friendly and professional with an excellent eye for those stunning shots! I absolutely love how our photos turned out. They captured our day perfectly. I couldn't have asked for more - well maybe a second swan ;)

Above and beyond wedding photographer

We were so impressed with Agathe. She was thoughtful, helpful and has an excellent eye for capturing the natural beauty in the great outdoors which was what we wanted for our special wedding day!
This photographer went above and beyond. She literally went into the ocean to take our photos...and not just her feet! Full wetsuit, into the water. The photos look like something out of a magazine.
Agathe is kind, energetic and ready for adventure! She was accommodating not only to us but our very small children and also to hiking into our chosen destination.
She brought extra help who helped us and the kids as well as worked easily around our non existant schedule.
We would highly recommend her if you are looking for something special. We received hundreds of photos.
Thankyou so much!

Authenticity at its best

Agathe was great at capturing the moment in a very authentic way, which was the most important thing for us. She made us feel very comfortable. During the ceremony, she was very discrete, so much that we forgot she was there capturing this intimate moment. I was delighted to get pictures of all of our guests as well as the details we did not have time to enjoy on this busy day. We received the images in a timely manner and they are beautiful. I would highly recommend Agathe as your wedding photographer.

Beautiful family photo session

Agathe was a dream to work with! She worked around our travel plans and found a beautiful location was that worked perfectly for us. The whole session was laidback and very candid which made us feel comfortable which came through in our gorgeous and natural looking photos. She captured the vibe and mood I was imagining and she had our photos edited and ready for us in a timely matter. 10/10 recommend Agathe’s services and we are excited to have her capture future occasions!

Magical photos from a talented professional

I was blown away by Agathe's photos! She manages to capture so much essence in each image, the results are amazing. Agathe makes being in front of the lens so comfortable and easy, we had so much fun on the shoot! I love all the images which are edited beautifully; it makes such a difference to have professional photos for my business. I will definitely book Agathe for future shoots.

Biggest regret

The only thing I regret about my wedding, was having Agathe as our photographer. Overall, she was difficult to work with, does not actually provide what she says in her wedding packages, and her photos were nice, but not worth the money or nightmare. First, her wedding “package” included an engagement session/get to know each other which I think is an important component. When we asked her about setting it up, she said it was just something nice she does and doesn’t have to do it. She eventually agreed to do it, but we’d have to drive to wherever and whenever worked for her. She then refused to give us the engagement photos until the ENTIRE contract was paid in FULL well before the date set in our contract and before the wedding itself. The wedding “package” was also to include a usb with all the photos and some good quality prints. All she has sent us was a link to download the photos off her websites, which were of course enormous files and too much for my laptop to handle! I had to borrow my dads computer to download them all because she still won’t send us a usb of them. She also said the prints were just supposed to be a gift….our venue unexpectedly sent us a booklet with photos they took…that’s a gift. The least a photographer could do is send their clients some prints, which shows how little she cares.

Wedding at RMR

Agathe and her team took some beautiful and stunning shots of our wedding. They were easy to work with and pleasant to be around. They were well organized and got all the shots that we had requested.

Love is life; an amazing experience, passion, swimming in the ocean, that first sip of coffee in the morning, the greeting of my dog after a long day, a kiss on my forehead before I fall asleep. My language of love is taking photographs.

I hold a passion for the world and an eye for the beauty it contains. I am on a continual journey to seek out and capture the beauty of this world – whether it’s the beauty of some of the most extreme and pristine environments in the world, or the beauty of a person's most personal moments. I photograph in a documentary way, gathering the laughter and the hugs, the goosebumps and the tears of joy.

Throughout my years of living remotely and working in some of the wildest places on earth, I developed a passion for shooting couples in connection with natural landscapes such as alpine peaks, lush rainforests and waterscape.

My calm, grounded and sparkly nature is contagious and gives your wedding day all the comfort, ease and empowerment you need.

I live in BC in the summers and travel through the California & Baha during my winters. I love discovering new places and visiting friends along the way so if your wedding is on the island, in the Okanagan, Kootenays, Nelson, Golden, Banff, Tahiti (I actually also have French Nationality), Indonesia, North Pole or anywhere in between, let me know, I am a dye hearth traveller and really good at keeping my travel expenses reasonable. My faith in experiencing life’s beauty is strong and I adventure with an open heart. Outside of the office, my time is spent skiing, swimming, surfing, travelling, laughing and hosting my friends for yummy dinners by the water.

I'm perfectly imperfect and choosing every day to embrace the story that is my life as gracefully as I can.

My Mantras

I capture weddings using multiple tools: DSLR cameras, drone, GoPro, Cinema Camera, professional sound recording and sometimes underwater cameras (for the water lovers) and always sees through my viewfinder with a passionate and generous eye powered by a full heart.

I thrive on Connecting Brides with the best local vendors, to alleviate some of the coordination stress and to fulfill your dream wedding vision.

I will genuinely keep you having fun and you will be able to think back on your wedding day as unposed, fun and unforgettable.
