Agathe Bernard Photography is a wedding and lifestyle photographer based on Vancouver Island and serving the surrounding areas, British Columbia.

Wedding, Elopement & Lifestyle Photographer + Videographer

Serving Vancouver Island (Tofino, Ucluelet, Victoria), the Kootenays (Nelson, Revelstoke, Rossland), the Rockies, Okanagan, California, Baja California, French Polynesia, France, Italy, Portugal & Greece

Hello lovers,

I’m Agathe—a wedding and elopement photographer and filmmaker, deeply passionate about telling stories that feel real, beautiful, and wildly true to you.

Whether it’s a windswept elopement on a coastal cliff, a sun-drenched ceremony in the vineyards, or a quiet vow exchange deep in the forest, I’ll be there—camera in hand, heart wide open.

I offer both photography and video services and love connecting couples with incredible floral artists, stylists, jewelers, and off-the-beaten-path venues that bring their vision to life.

I live between Vancouver Island and the Kootenays and work all along the West Coast of North America. This summer, I’ll be bouncing between Tofino, Quadra Island, North Van Island, the Okanagan, and beyond. And if your wedding takes me to French Polynesia (my forever dream)—it’s a yes before you even finish asking.

I don’t charge travel fees for most destinations. In fact, I often plan my adventures around yours.

My background in adventure and backcountry photography means I’m at home in the mountains, in the ocean, or anywhere in between. I’ll happily canoe, ski, bike, climb, or dive to help you capture the moment you say “I do.” (Giraffe rides negotiable. 😉)

To me, photographing people is an emotional experience—an honour I don’t take lightly. I believe the best stories come through in the smallest details: a quiet glance, a laugh shared, the way your hands find each other. These are the truths I seek. This is the beauty I chase.

Browse my galleries for a sense of what’s possible. And when you’re ready, let’s dream something extraordinary together.

With love,

Agathe

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!

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 ;)

Couldn't have asked for better photos

Agathe was a dream. Great eye for shots, worked seamlessly in the background, and left us with images that will freeze that day in time forever.

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!

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.

Agathe was amazing to work with!

Agathe was the photographer at our Torino wedding last year and I can’t say enough amazing things about her. She was absolutely fantastic and a pleasure to work with. We love her sense of humor and creativity with our photos. I would highly recommend her for your wedding or any photo shoot for that matter! She was very accommodating, responsive and delivered highlights the next day! We love her!

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.
