oh HEy, IT'S SO NICE TO MEET YOU
Things I love: SZA, Big Bang Theory, soft chicken tacos, all-dressed Ruffles chips, my golden retriever, Charlie, and couples who fully trust me and my creative visions to capture their special moments in life. I am passionate about photographing emotion—love, connection, & happiness. It’s a crazy feeling to be chosen to document the biggest days in someone’s life, and I treat it like it’s the most important job in the world... because to me, it is.
I am a traveling photographer + web designer; obsessed with adventure, travel, and capturing intimate moments. If you bring me along on your adventure somewhere special, I can promise to capture memories you will never forget.
Also if you serve pierogis at your wedding, that is a huge bonus in my book!!!
I'm Not just a photographer,
I'll be your friend along side you on your wedding day
Hey, I'm Taiya
I've always naturally been drawn to taking photos. I had a "teen fashion blog" when I was 14 and that's when I figured out I loved being behind the camera more than anything else. I've captured portraits, families, and friends, but capturing couples and their love connection is where my heart truly is.
I would describe my photography style as intimate, warm, natural, intentional, honest, and meaningful. I strive to keep my editing true to colour, making sure not to alter the beautiful tones of nature or your glowing skin tones.
WHAT INSPIRES ME
"EVERY WEDDING, EVERY COUPLE HAS THEIR OWN UNIQUE LOVE STORY. YOUR love story IS one-of-a-kind and that deserves to be captured in the most authentic and meaningful way"
I am currently studying web site design + development, and as much as I love coding websites and graphic design, photography has always been what brings me the most joy.
I also can't get enough of travelling and exploring new places and landscapes. So far I've had the opportunity to explore Denmark, Arizona, Hawaii, Los Angles, Montreal, Toronto, and most of BC/Western Canada!!!
That’s a little sneak peek into my life and a few of my favourite things. No matter who and where we are, we all have a different story to share. No love story is one and the same. And that’s why I LOVE documenting love stories (and hopefully yours too!).

MY FAVOURITE THINGS
Rain, hail or shine, I won’t miss a beat
BEHIND THE LENS
From the tears of joy - to cheeky kisses - to getting loose on the dance floor, I'll be there to document your day through your eyes how you remember it to be. I'll even capture those candid moments that may have slipped by unnoticed by you - they're the best ones!
I will be in the shadows snapping candid reception shots, and I'll be right up at the front, rounding everyone up for group photos, I'll be wherever you need me on the day, not missing a beat!
Every ounce of my energy goes towards making you feel comfortable, relaxed, and beautiful on your day; as well as creating a gorgeous collection of images to forever cherish. When you look through your photos, memories will come to life and it'll be as though you're right there doing it all over again.
