About
Shantal is a Victoria BC wedding photographer serving all of Vancouver Island and beyond. After more than 10 years behind the lens, she specializes in capturing the quiet hand squeezes, the breath-before-the-vows, and the champagne-fueled dance floor chaos. She focuses on honest, authentic storytelling that shows you exactly as you felt it, not as posed perfection.
Her approach blends light posing with fun prompts to create a relaxed, candid atmosphere. Most couples book 12-18 months in advance. Travel fees for many Vancouver Island locations are minimal or not required, and she's available for elopements, engagements, and full-day coverage across BC.
