Vancouver adventures are always unforgettable—and if you’re dreaming of an artful, story-driven photo experience in the heart of British Columbia, this one’s for you. These creative shootouts were the highlight of my trip and captured everything I love about chasing light, connection, and beautiful stories in new places.

This past February, I had the chance to extend my trip to Vancouver, BC around the 2024 Boss Babe Retreat—and turn it into something truly unforgettable. I teamed up with Abigail Rose Gallery, a talented photographer and planner from Colorado, for a series of styled shootouts featuring incredible Vancouver-based models, creative collaborators, and backdrops that felt straight out of a dream.

From icy mountaintops to forest paths, every location reminded me why I love being a destination wedding and elopement photographer. There’s just something about a new place that brings fresh perspective and energy into my work—and Vancouver delivered.

Styled Shootouts in Vancouver: Where Creativity and Collaboration Meet

Styled shootouts are one of my favorite ways to connect with other photographers and creatives while building something beautiful together. These sessions let us experiment with new styles, try bold ideas, and capture images that go beyond the ordinary.

During this Vancouver trip, we braved the cold and leaned into the moodiness of winter. The models were absolute pros—radiating elegance and warmth despite the chill—and the results were nothing short of stunning.

With Abigail Rose Gallery leading the planning and styling, each set felt intentional and elevated. The vibe? Editorial meets intimate, with a cinematic twist.

Why Vancouver Adventures Inspire My Photography

As a traveling wedding photographer, I’m always chasing locations that tell a story—and Vancouver, Canada has so much to say. From snow-capped peaks to downtown edges kissed with golden light, this city is a dream for couples who want their love story to feel adventurous and deeply personal.

Whether it’s a destination engagement session, an elopement in the forest, or a wedding with mountain views, British Columbia offers the kind of landscapes that make your photos feel timeless and true to you. This whole trip was one of those Vancouver adventures that remind you how powerful place can be in storytelling. The contrast of cozy moments against wild, sweeping landscapes made every frame feel rich with emotion.

If you’re planning a wedding, elopement, or couples shoot in Canada (or anywhere beyond Ohio), my bags are already halfway packed.
