Your Love, Your Way

Your Love, Your Way

Couples photography that actually looks like YOU

Okay friends, real talk. Somewhere along the way we all got told that couples photos are supposed to look ONE way. Matching neutral outfits. A golden field. Foreheads pressed together while you both laugh at a joke nobody actually made. And listen — if that’s genuinely your vibe, beautiful, I’m here for it. But if you’ve ever looked at those photos and thought “that’s just… not us,” I need you to hear me: you don’t have to do what everyone else is doing.

You get to tell YOUR story. And your story probably didn’t happen in a field.

Maybe it happens in your kitchen at 2pm, one of you sipping coffee on the counter while the other one is half-under the sink fixing something, covered in grease, still somehow the love of your life. THAT is a photo. That’s a whole entire story. The dog sleeping on the floor. The recycling bags. The realness of the space you actually live your love in. I don’t want to pull you out of your world and drop you into a fake one — I want to build the shoot around the world you already have.

Want to do a theme? YASSS. Bring me the weird idea, the movie you’re both obsessed with, the era you wish you lived in, the inside joke only the two of you understand. The weirder the better — I promise you I will lean all the way in with you. Want to bring real-world aspects into it? His work overalls. Your favourite robe. The vintage car. The apartment with the questionable curtains. Real is what makes it hit.

Here’s the thing almost nobody says out loud: most people have never felt comfortable in front of a camera, and couples shoots can feel extra vulnerable because now there’s two of you being nervous at once. I get it. So we go slow. I direct the whole thing, check in constantly, take breaks, and yes — I’ll act big and silly so you both feel safe enough to drop your guard. You don’t need to know how to pose. You just need to show up and be into each other. I’ve got the rest.

Because at the end of the day, your couples shoot shouldn’t be a copy of a copy of something you saw on Pinterest. It should be a DECLARATION. Of the two of you. Of your weird, wonderful, specific, unrepeatable love. The way you actually are when the door’s closed and it’s just you two being ridiculous together.

So let’s make something that’s fully, unapologetically yours. Bring me your love story — the real one — and let’s build a whole visual world around it. 💚

2026

I’m so proud of my growth. I’m a storytelling photographer who moves fluidly between candid, portrait, and editorial work. I’ve been published many times, my photography is on shirts, album covers, patches, in magazines and more. I can’t wait to see how I grow.

2023

In 2023, I made a commitment to myself and launched Studio Von YEG—building the photography community I always wanted to be part of. After so much life change I decided to chose myself, to love myself and to become the photographer I always dreamed of.

2014

In a bit of a midlife crisis ( at 25yrs old) I bought a new camera… I personally love the Lumix line so I stayed true to it and grabbed the Lumix GH4.

I started with taking photos and videos of personal travel, then slowly started to take photos for friends and family.

2005

I tried going “professional”, only to find an industry drowning in gossip and toxicity where everyone suddenly had a camera but few had pride in their work. 

So I stepped back, kept shooting for the love of it, and quietly got better.

 

2004

Music photography became my heartbeat early on, and for years I was the friend with the camera: parties, concerts, travel, behind-the-scenes of film sets.

2003

At 14 I dove headfirst into film photography and darkroom development alongside my sister at our local college.

After saving up for a Lumix DMC-G1, I decided I wanted to become a photographer.

I had zero clue how digital worked—so I just figured it out.
