Like the previous review starts... "Where do I even begin!" My husband found Paul online while remotely (from Vancouver, BC) searching for photographers in Tofino to capture his upcoming marriage proposal in Feb 2018. Together they devised the perfect little plan to both catch me off guard AND capture Kyle down on one knee, on the beach, at sunset. Seriously? Perfection. Following the proposal itself came an impromptu (for me) engagement shoot and we were absolutely blown away with his ability to capture every little moment and laugh we shared following his proposal. From then we knew we had to book him for our wedding day as well. Communication with Paul leading up to the wedding was both prompt and helpful. He traveled to the mainland for our June 8, 2019 wedding and even took the time to come a day early to scout the locations we had requested to be able to provide suggestions, tips and ultimately just know what/where the best angles would be. A beautifully unexpected token of his was his "leave behind". At the end of our engagement shoot he pulled out a little printer and printed us a few shots from the shoot saying he does this so we'd have something to tide us over while we waited for the rest of the shots. Adorable right?! And the wedding day was no different! This touch was really something so small and yet so special that I have even framed some of those 2x3 day-of souvenirs. He is calm, collected, relaxed, patient and just so kind while directing everyone in the photos. He truly makes everyone feel comfortable with his kindness and ability to provide alternate suggestions to poses, faces, angles, light etc. You're such a gem Paul, I'm SO glad Kyle found you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. read more

Where do I even begin! My husband and I found Paul on Instagram and instantly fell in love with his ability to capture such special, genuine, candid moments. We had the pleasure of having Paul photograph our wedding on September 1st and we could not be happier with every single step along the way. The communication with Paul leading up to the wedding (which was a destination - we are not from the island) was incredibly quick and clear. He went above and beyond to answer all of our questions from scheduling to attire. On the day of our wedding, Paul was super friendly and made every person feel comfortable. My husband and I are not used to having professional photos taken and it was a lot less painful than we had thought! Paul was able to capture photos during moments we hadn't even noticed. Every guest at our wedding was incredibly impressed with him and commented on how personable and friendly he was. After our wedding, we received our wedding photos in TWO DAYS and they did not disappoint! I can't even put into words how happy we are with the photos, they are absolutely breathtaking. Paul is such a special talent, we feel super grateful that we were able to have him for our day. Thank you so much Paul for everything, we will forever look at the photos you took on our wedding and remember such special moments!! (Step aside, Paul Nicklen) read more
