Weddings In Maple Ridge

Maple Ridge sits at the edge of the mountains with lakes, rivers, forests and rustic venues that make it perfect for couples who love the outdoors.
You can host your ceremony at a camp, lodge or lakeside hall and then sneak away for portraits in nearby forests, along the water or up in Golden Ears.

We love photographing here because the tall trees, moody light and dramatic peaks give a cinematic feel in every season.
Our style focuses on working with that natural atmosphere while bringing in lighting that lets you look your best in any conditions.
