CAPTURING YOUR

real moments

– the raw, the messy, the you –

My approach

I’m not into awkward, uncomfortable prom poses

I do things a little differently. What I truly focus on is giving you images that won’t just hold meaning today, but ones that will still make you smile and take your breath away 50+ years from now (and maybe even get a little teary-eyed). I want to capture who you are, the essence of you—the real, unfiltered you. Your personalities, your connection, the way you look at each other. The moments that define this chapter of your lives. These are the images that will become your most treasured keepsakes as the years pass. Imagine showing them to your kids and grandkids, sharing stories of your wedding day, and telling them what life was like back then.

I’ve got a bunch of tricks up my sleeve to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I get it—being in front of the lens can feel really vulnerable, but I promise, you’re in good hands! My goal is to make you feel like you can enjoy the moment together while I do my thing. Trust me, we’ll make magic happen!

"She went above and beyond to make us feel like the most important couple on the planet".

Havilah completely BLEW US AWAY. Everything she did exceeded every single one of our expectations. We knew her photography work was incredible but little did we know she’d go above and beyond to make us feel like the most special couple on earth. Havilah was SO positive, helpful, friendly, lovely & overall made our wedding day what it was! She was constantly hyping me up during the photos, fixing my hair & fluffing my wedding dress. We had a very intimate wedding due to covid and she was so supportive & made the planning process such a breeze. I will forever be thankful we chose her to document such a monumental day in our lives. Plus she is the most adorable human!!!

She did our engagement photos — which were incredible & the experience was amazing as well. She made us both feel so comfortable & like we were her #1 priority.

Q&A

The FAQs

Do you require a deposit?

Yes I do! I require a 40% retainer fee at the time of booking. The rest is due 2 weeks before your date.

Where are you based out of?

I live in Cochrane, Alberta (very close to the Rocky Mountains/Banff), and I travel all around the world to document my couples!

How long till we get our photos back?

Waiting is hard, trust me I get it! I try my best to get you your photos as soon as possible, but at the same time I never want to rush your edits! You will get a sneak peek gallery from our time together within a week from our shoot date (I include lotsssss of sneak peeks for you!). And your full gallery – for sessions my delivery time is within 6-8 weeks, and for weddings it is 10-12 weeks.

I feel like we're very awkward in photos?

AH! Trust me when I say this… everybody feels this way (myself included! Even though I’ve also been in front of a camera many many times!). It’s my job to make you feel comfortable and at ease – I’ve got lots of tricks up my sleeve! I’m super easy going and we’ll have a great time together, I promise!

Can I include/bring my pet to our photos?

Please please please do! Some of my favourite shoots (sessions, weddings) have included pets in photos! If they’re a special part of your life, please bring them to our photos!

Would you travel to document our day?

ABSOLUTELY! I’m so ready. I love traveling for my couples/work and i would love to hear more about your plans!!

Based near the Rockies. My work takes me worldwide.

I’m Havie (short for Havilah) – a Alberta-based Elopement & Wedding Photographer, but I travel all around the world for my couples! I help couples plan the day of their DREAMS and my superpower is making people feel seen, heard and relaxed. There is so much meaning in documenting moments that are going to take you back in time. My goal is to make you feel comfortable in front of my camera so that your photos truly are candid + meaningful.

Photography has taken me all over the world, from destination weddings in Switzerland, Greece, and Italy, to Hawaii and other parts of the US, Ireland, Germany, and beyond. Canada is home—I’m based near Banff, in the breathtaking Canadian Rockies, where I have the privilege of working with couples from around the globe.
