Drew & Leah's big day is this August, and we're pretty excited to be shooting a wedding not only with a rad couple, but where the dinner is from the delicious Tacafino Cantina in Tofino! Their summer nuptials are happening at Drew's family property, and it's going to be stellar! Being that their wedding is in Summer, for their engagement, they wan...

We've got Ilene & Francois' wedding next month, and we are so looking forward to it! Francois is big into the history of Nanaimo, so we thought the best fit for their session was downtown in our little harbour city! I love the look of the older buildings, tar on the wooden boards of the dock, the aged boats settled around it, and the salty sea air...

Experience the Kim & Richie's story by clicking the "PLAY" button below, you'll love it!

There's...

We hit the jackpot on the day we shot Kim & Richie's session! The previous weekend we had to cancel due to monsoon rain, and we were keeping our fingers crossed that the new date would work! We scheduled it early in the morning for 7:30/8:00am just to beat the possible crowds and more importantly - Mother Nature. No one is up that early, we figured...

I first met Kristi last year when I was shooting photos for her best friend Vanessa. She was one of the most helpful friends that has ever come along on a shoot, she held my reflector, did Vanessa's make-up & helped her choose her outfits! What a fabulous lady to call your best friend! Kristi contacted me a couple months ago for maternity photos!...

One of the newest additions to Julien Photography's services is Videography, and it's Steve's new love. Photos are forever, but the addition of video to a wedding day truly brings it to life and is the perfect compliment! We were thrilled when Adam & Megan told us that they wanted their day in both photo & cinema! Steve did an incredible job, and...

Its been a few years since Steve & I celebrated a low key New Years Eve. And we're more than okay with it. In fact, we can't imagine celebrating a non-wedding New Years Eve! This year we rang in the New Year with Adam & Megan, and it was pure, unadulterated MAGIC! They booked the Coast Bastion for their reception venue, and transformed it into a w...

October was beautiful this past year. Crisp, colourful & full of love. It was even more thrilling for Ian & Nadia who were married with the falling leaves outside and their toasty love inside! Ian & Nadia had been dating for just over a year and a half, most of it long distance with Ian in Ottawa, and Nadia here with her salon " Adia ". When they g...

Your wedding day is a blissful & busy day. It fly's by, you try to make sure you don't miss a moment, and suddenly you're waking up the day after, thinking: 'I'm married. That just happened'. Photographs are worth a thousand words, but add video to your day and you've got the cherry on top! Steve has recently fallen in love with video, I love his...

Xia & Vivian are spending this coming year preparing for their big wedding in China! They're already officially married, but have yet to have the traditional wedding day! We spent the afternoon in Neck point in a more traditional and so cute wedding themed outfit before heading downtown for a little more drama! They brought their little dog too - C...

Lauren's grandparents live on a breathtaking property in Qualicum. In fact, Lauren's grandparents built the house that hosted the ceremony & created the amazing wilderness gardens surrounding it! Every inch of the property is manicured and picturesque, and it should definitely be in a Home & Garden Magazine! Its always amazing to shoot in private p...

John & Hannah's day was unforgettable. They were surrounded by endless love of family & friends, a ton of laughter, and so many gorgeous vintage antiques! Their ceremony started with Star Wars...something we don't think the guests were expecting. John & all his Groomsman marched down the aisle, knees raised high to the tune of the "Imperial March".

Brad & Alicia were formerly our neighbours across the hall, and they are now our neighbours across the province! Before they escaped to the amazing Northern mecca of Fort McMurray...they were married on our amazing, West Coast paradise of Vancouver Island. They chose one of Nanaimo's best outdoor venues, Bowen Park. If you're looking for a stunning...

Kevin & Melissa's wedding day was set at the stunning Tigh-Na-Mara resort overlooking the ocean. It was a classic summer day on the West Coast. There were clouds in the sky, and rain was looking like it might pour, we just kept our fingers crossed that it would wait until after the ceremony! As luck would have it, as they shared their first kiss as...
