Bridal Services Canada

Unique, Artistic Images from a Nanaimo Wedding Photographer

There are a lot of wedding photographers out there these days. So many so that they now outnumber brides 4 to 1!
This is all good for brides, right? More choice! More competition! Lower prices!
Well, maybe.
It’s true that brides have more choices than ever before when it comes to photography. There’s formal styles and more photojournalistic styles; there’s film and digital (yes, some people still shoot film!); there’s ordering by prints and there’s getting a disc; there’s engagement shoots, trash the dress, boudoir…. I think you get the idea.
While choice is good, choosing carefully has never been more important. After all, anyone can call him or herself a photographer, and more and more are doing so every day.

Cameron Photography takes great pride in delivering a fantastic customer experience in Nanaimo, Victoria, Tofino, elsewhere on Vancouver Island, and throughout the world. This starts from your first contact with us by email or phone, and continues to our free initial consultation, to planning sessions, to your big day, and, of course to your treasured wedding photos.

Wedding

We custom design beautiful albums which will garner many envious ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ from your friends. We capture your memories unobtrusively, using a photojournalistic style of photography for most of the day. And of course we can handle the formal shots as well, and then throw in some fashion-inspired glamour for good measure.
While we are based in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, we regularly travel beyond our hometown to meet with clients and capture their special moments.

Engagement

We love engagement sessions and think it’s a must for any couple. It really lets us get acquainted, which always results in better pictures on your wedding day. Our engagement sessions are always on location, making them look natural (that’s because they ARE natural!). Tired of stuffy studio shots from the 80’s and 90’s? So are we. We find funky locations to give you something unique – these are not your Grandparents’ wedding photos!

Boudoir

Cam Wrigley, the main photographer for Cameron Photography, is also a boudoir photographer. These intimate sessions show how you feel about for the man of your dreams, while always remaining tasteful, relaxed, and respectful of your boundaries. Boudoir photography is a very hot item these days – don’t miss out! (your future hubby will thank you). We arrange the hair, makeup, and private location. You choose your favourite lingerie, bring one of his shirts or ties if you like, and we’ll capture your love for your new husband.

Trash-the-Dress

Another recent addition to our offerings is called trash the dress. For trash the dress (sometimes abbreviated to TTD), the dress doesn’t actually need to be trashed, but we could definitely get it wet! Depending on how adventurous you are, you could float in the ocean, roll around in the sand with your new hubby, jump off a dock, or even jump in a dumpster (yes, someone did that!). It started with brides who thought it was a waste to spend so much money on a dress only to wear it once and then lock it away in a closet forever.

We know that every wedding is unique. You can pick and choose from our offerings to suit your needs, and we will build a package for you accordingly.

Whomever you choose as your photographer, please remember to choose one whose work reflects a style you like! If you like stuffy 80’s photos, then by all means choose a stuffy 80’s photographer…. but if you think you might be interested in something different, call Cameron Photography today!

No props, no stages, no cartoony top-hats, and no cheesy one-liners: 1 deck of cards, and 1 willing spectator. That’s all Jay Odex needs.

Jay’s philosophy on magic is new and modern. Think “street-style”. Casual. Believable. It doesn’t matter what your event is. Give Jay Odex a deck of cards, and he will transform your event from memorable – to unforgettable.

Jay Odex is ideal close-up entertainment for weddings, restaurants, parties and corporate events. Perfect for walk-around and mingling, or table-to-table entertainment, be it classy or casual. His style has often been compared to Criss Angel or David Blaine. Very impromptu, ’seemingly’ unprepared, making things up as he goes along. Yet still, no matter what he has in his hand; a deck of cards, a quarter, somebody’s pen, or sometimes nothing… He can make something extraordinary happen every time. Something that might, even for a second… make you believe magic really does exist.

Why Jay Odex?

• Card skills are especially advanced and extremely developed. Smooth delivery and handling.
• Locally based in Vancouver.
• WILL make your event memorable for all your guests.
• Affordable. Top quality entertainment is not as expensive as you think. Contact Jay Odex for details.

Wedding Photographers in Victoria

My goal as your photographer is to not simply document your wedding day, but to capture all the love and happiness you are felling in a photograph.

My hope is that each time you look at your photos the emotion that you were felling on that day will last forever.

What I provide is a mix of modern, fun & traditional wedding photographs. The mix is up to you, some images will show off your smiles and personally, some will show all the details that invested all your time effort into, and some may simply be those formal (but just as important) pictures that your family and grandparents will proudly display on their mantle for years to come.

On your wedding day I love having fun and trying new poses and letting my creativity take over at each wedding.

I provide a disk of high resolution images with all of my wedding packages and many include a beautiful hard cover wedding album. The images are all high resolution and ready to print when and where you want. You will never have to come back to me to purchase prints.

I also have embraced the world of Facebook. I myself love Facebook and couldn’t imagine not being able to share my wedding photos with my friends. So not only do you get your high resolution images for printing but you also get all of your images optimized for uploading to Facebook to share with the world!

I love the creativity that I get with each wedding I shoot. I love the details that each couple puts into their special day and I truly enjoy capturing those details so they will remember them forever.

I also love the opportunity to create memories for a couple starting their life together. I feel so lucky to spend time with a couple on the most important day of their life and make an impact on how they remember it.
