We Have been living in Nanaimo for over 20 years, and while we have travelled to so many places all around the world we can honestly say we love our home town. The running joke about Nanaimo is that it is a great town to live in because it's close to other amazing places. It is pretty wild to be one of Nanaimo's busiest wedding photographers and only photograph a few weddings in Nanaimo every year! Yes it is great to be wedding photographers in Parksville, Victoria, and all over the Island from our Hub city, we would love to see more weddings happen here, because Nanaimo has some picturesque locations and ease of access for out of town guests! So without further ado here are some photos, locations and stories to inspire you all to consider getting married in Nanaimo!
