Behind
the Lens

Hey friend, I'm JanessA...

a bookworm till I die, espresso fanatic, wife & adventure lover. I’m an international wedding, lifestyle, and elopement photographer based in Vancouver, BC. Known for my candid, documentary-style approach, my couples feel comfortable and 100% themselves during our shoots. It’s my heart to tell your story, exactly how it feels right now in this moment.

She would be so excited. This honestly is a dream come true for me.

If kid-Janessa could see me now…

Camera roll full of …

Wooden display stands inside a store, filled with jars and bottles of honey and honey-related products. A hanging 'HONEY' sign is visible, with a window showing outdoor greenery and flowers.

The open tailgate of a red pickup truck shows a bed with a blanket and pillows, set in a wooded outdoor area, suggesting a camping scene. On the truck's tailgate, there are bottles of ketchup and mustard, a bag of chips, and a paper towel.
A sunset sky over a body of water with distant mountains in the background, and a few birds flying.

See me in action

Some serious proof that working together isn’t boring - it’s the best!
