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

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.
