Hey! I am Elyse (pronounced A-LEEZ… thanks Mom and Dad!), and I am the creator and founder of Vancouver Island Elopements. I am a published and award winning photographer and have been in the wedding industry for 11 years now!

The last few years raising my littles definitely gave me a whole new perspective on life and my values, thus wanting to create a beautiful, stress free experience for couples in which they can truly be present and celebrate their love!

It has been incredible embracing elopements and not burning myself out with big weddings! I get to connect with the couples I work with while developing relationships that last for years to come! Knowing I have curated and photographed an elopement experience for couples so they can be present and intentional on their elopement day has a sort of magic and beauty to it! I’m super stoked for this season and all the incredible couple and vendors I get to meet and connect with! Thanks for following along and supporting this journey of mine❤️
