Hello lovers,

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

I was seven years old when I received my first camera. My parents were quenching their travel thirst through National Geographic documentaries about Jane Fonda, Jacques Cousteau, famous volcanologists,  Indiana Jones. It did not take too long until, I wanted to be an explorer of this beautiful planet. By the age of 14, I had saved enough money babysitting, I could buy a ticket to India for the summer… Long story short, we compromised on France as I was so young and naive then but my camera became my number one thing. Clicking carefully these 24 frames, choosing the ISO of my rolls with so much care as rolls cost a fortune. I discovered the dark room at college. I fell in love with the magic of making my own images, perspective, black and white. Photography and cinema were my favorite classes but I took the long way to reuniting with my passion. I became a geologist first and lived in some of the most remote places on this planet. I wanted to understand my environments, the landscapes, how it moved and evolved. I was a master at mapping its rock. Getting drop off on peaks, hiking and drawing all day. Always with an extra 10 lbs of camera gear. Eventually, nine years ago, it became obvious I was more drawn to my camera than my drawing journal and luckily on the last day of my field season, I met a producer from National Geographic who took me under his wing and showed me the ropes of what it is to call photography your profession. We traveled a lot and I  fell in love with shooting subjects in nature, it evolved to ski/snowboard action photography, mountain biking, then cinema in Iceland, sailing a scientific expedition in the Caribbeans.. Today I could not be happier to do what I love and I want to give back to our beautiful planet. This is why I reinvest 10% of my income to creating environmental media. 

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 honour one could enjoy. I fall in love with the people that 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 truest 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, the Okanagan, east to Revelstoke, Golden and out towards Banff and Canmore in Alberta; south towards Nakusp, New Denver and Nelson, or towards Vernon and Kelowna; and west toward Salmon and Kamloops. My lifelong dream is to use my french nationality to spend more time in French Polynesia (Tahiti) so consider it a seal deal if your wedding is there! This place is the most beautiful place on earth!

I love that I can explore and quench my own personal thirst for travel while working with you to capture your unforgettable moments on film. The diversity in landscapes spark 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, 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 area.

I plan on spending more winter time in Baja, California in winters and I am looking forward to offering my professional services in that region as well for your destination wedding.

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
