Film-Inspired, authentic storytelling for people and spaces. A micro wedding isn’t just a smaller guest list — it’s a choice to focus on what matters. I provide professional, straightforward photography for couples who want to stay present in the moment. No forced poses or heavy production — just a clean, documentary approach to your day. Available in Vancouver, BC and worldwide.
Micro Weddings & Elopements
Professional coverage for ceremonies and small celebrations. I focus on the moments you’ll actually want to remember — the quiet glances and the loud celebrations — without making you spend your entire day posing. You get to stay present with your guests while I document the story as it unfolds, naturally and honestly.
Couples & Portraits
Think of this as a relaxed hang-out rather than a formal photo shoot. Whether you’re solo, it’s just the two of you or the whole family, we’ll keep things simple and unscripted to capture photos that actually look and feel like you.
Hospitality & Spaces
I document the rhythm of your space and the craft of your team to show people what it’s really like to be a guest. It’s about capturing the atmosphere and the details, ready for your social media and website.
Documenting life and hospitality as it happens.
I’m Max, a Vancouver-based photographer with a documentary approach. I don’t go for over-staged poses or pretentious concepts. Whether I’m covering a wedding or a commercial space, my goal is to capture the atmosphere and the details that make a moment feel real. My work is inspired by the warmth and grain of film but delivered with a modern, professional digital workflow to ensure your memories and brand assets are preserved. My background in hospitality photography taught me how to find the beauty in the details — the light in a room, the movement of a crowd, the texture of a dish. I’ve brought that same eye to weddings and lifestyle photography.
What is your photography style?
I specialize in documentary-style photography with a film-inspired aesthetic. This means I focus on candid moments, natural light, and authentic atmosphere rather than heavy posing. You get the warmth and timeless look of classic film, but with the technical reliability and high resolution of modern digital cameras.
How do we get started?
For all new inquiries, I provide a brief PDF that outlines my process and baseline rates. This ensures we are aligned on the scope of the project before we dive into the creative details. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss how we can elevate your digital presence or capture your upcoming event.
What is the duration of a shoot?
It varies by project. Hospitality and lifestyle sessions are often structured as efficient 1, 2 or 4-hour sessions designed to deliver high-impact assets. Weddings typically range from partial to full-day coverage depending on the story you want to tell.
What is your turnaround time for final images?
I prioritize a fast and professional workflow. For standard sessions, you can expect your final edited gallery within seven business days. For weddings and elopements, a preview is delivered within 96 hours, with the full documentary gallery following shortly after.
Are you available for travel?
Yes. While I am based in Vancouver, British Columbia, I am available for wedding, lifestyle, and hospitality projects worldwide. Whether it’s a local bistro or a destination wedding, I am comfortable working in spaces of any size.
