I’m Heather,
I’m a Full-Time Wedding Photographer & Portrait Photographer in Victoria, BC
I’m a cat lady turned mama to a silly baby girl, a coffee and sweet fanatic, creative & Newfoundlander (without the accent) now based in Victoria BC. I also love pineapple on my pizza (no shame).
I’m relaxed but organized, and for me it’s all about the honest & emotive photos that take you back when you look at them. I lean heavily towards documentary photos with a guided experience. Fun, not forced. Easygoing but cool.
I have been pursuing my dream job photographing weddings, elopements, love stories and people’s milestones professionally since 2011. After losing my little sister in 2012 and with no family photos ever taken, preserving memories became my passion and connecting you and your people my goal.
Inclusion is important to me, as is social justice. All love is welcome here!
“A perfect balance between intentional and organic wedding photos.”

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FAQ
HOW DO WE BOOK YOU AS OUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
If I am the best wedding photographer for your needs, first, inquire to check availability for your wedding date. We will get to know each other via email, zoom or a phone chat, and once you’re ready to roll I can send the booking details electronically.
You’ll review your wedding photography quote, wedding agreement, and I require a 35% non-refundable retainer to secure your wedding date.
What is your WEDDING photography style?
My wedding photography style is what I’d call fun, not forced.
Timeless, true to life but stylized. warm, clean, and curated.
My creativity is sparked by a fascination with human connection, so my wedding photography and portrait work is emotion driven & about the real moments. I want to know what it is you love about each other and your people so I can create photos that embody that. Honest reactions, energy and vibe. I prioritize the experience over the show. I will guide you so you can enjoy the process and so you look your best in your photos.
A few things I am not: a fashion photographer, trendy, into stiff posing (different from guidance), editorially focused, bossy (besides being my own boss).
What I am: relaxed but organized, calm, consistent, sometimes awkward (it works to make my clients feel comfy), nerdy, intentional, observant, timely.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE WEDDING?
After your wedding, I’ll get straight to work backing up and editing your photos. I’ll send a sneak peek gallery of 20+ highlight photos from the wedding within 7 days. I edit all of my own photos (no outsourcing here as I like full control of the creative process). The rest of your wedding photos are delivered within 1-3 months of your wedding (as early as possible given wedding season workload).
HOW DO YOU EDIT YOUR PHOTOS?
My photo editing style can be described as warm and true to colour (greens are green, blues are blue), with my signature timeless refined style thrown in.
Do you photograph other stuff?
While wedding photography is a huge part of what I do, I also photograph other kinds of portraits, such as families, lifestyle newborn, maternity, etc.
“We’re incredibly fortunate to have such real and stunning wedding photos that capture every moment and intricate detail of our wedding day. Our photos will be cherished for a lifetime and hold a special place in our hearts, and so will Heather.”

PHOTOGRAPHY
INCLUSIVE PHOTOGRAPHY
ALL LOVE MATTERS, ALL HUMANS MATTER
I am fiercely passionate about human rights and inclusivity. I photograph and work with people of all orientations, genders, personalities and backgrounds. I have a zero tolerance policy for hate or intolerance.
So what does it mean to be an inclusive photographer (besides just saying I am)? It means using language that is affirming, whether it’s pronouns, names, or preferred terminology. It means that all of my documentation is neutral and supports people across the spectrum. It means donating to causes that support human rights of all kinds, and supporting businesses that are BIPOC, LGBTQ2IA+, and inclusively owned and operated. And it means those I recommend and choose to work alongside are also inclusive.
This also goes for how I photograph my clients. After 14+ years in the photography industry & 300+ weddings in, I’ve learned that no two wedding couples, families or people are the same, so why should your wedding photos or portraits be cookie cutter from a generic shot list? Everything is catered to the unique people I work with.
When working together, I’ll prioritize giving you space to stay grounded and true to yourselves so you look and feel like you.

Thank you so much for the incredible photoshoot. I would highly recommend Heather. She was very organized, professional and made sure we got every shot we wanted. The photos totally exceeded my expectations. You won't be disappointed. Thanks again Heather 🙂

Where to even start with Heather... 🙂 My husband and I got our engagement photo's done by her and WOW. Her technical abilities paired with her quick sense to pivot and go with the flow of the session was incredible. She has the perfect balance with her strong sense of leadership and creating a fun, safe space to capture natural shots! Due to the pandemic we had to change our original plans for the wedding, but Heather was attentive and offered a multitude of options throughout the entire process. … More She went above and beyond from start to finish and we are so grateful for her! We're already talking about when we can do another session. 🙂 Best experience hands down!

Fantastic and professional experience! This was my first photoshoot with my girlfriend. Heather made us feel very comfortable and natural, all the while making it a fun experience. I would highly recommend Tulle & Tweed Photography for a great and worthwhile experience.

My husband and I whole-heartedly recommend Heather for your wedding. She is an absolute joy to work with! She was so accomodating, made us feel so comfortable and has such an amazing talent for photography. 10/10 human & photographer!

Oh. My. God. She is truly gifted at what she does! The wedding pictures she took are pictures we will treasure forever, and she is SO talented. She is calm but fun, and knows exactly how to help organize the shots to look absolutely stunning. I have never been married before so I had no idea what I was doing and she helped guide me through what might work and helped streamline how we went through the pictures after the ceremony and helped make our day flawless... Will definitely be booking her for … More more family shots in the future! Worth EVERY penny.

Exceptional! We need more than 5 stars for these situations when you come across a magnificent human who provides top notch service.My wife and I mentioned to Heather about how unusual this is for us to do due to feeling quite awkward in the spot light... but we agreed that at the end of the day when we are two old ladies rocking in our chairs on the porch sipping G&Ts we wouldn't mind looking back and seeing ourselves in our "glory days" so to speak :)We cannot thank Heather enough … More for making the evening a total breeze and so much fun. After we walked and chatted for a bit by the time the photo session started we just had a wonderful time laughing. It felt a little out of our comfort zone for sure, but with Heather there nothing felt forced, it was easy just to be ourselves in front of her. Not to mention the quality of the pictures she took, I was blown away when we got to see them. I highly recommend going with Heather when it comes to getting those special moments captured! Thank you Heather!Lauren & Shelby

Heather did our engagement photos and our experience with her was amazing! My partner and I had never had professional photos done, were really nervous. But she made us feel incredibly comfortable, at ease, we didn't feel overly posed either. She was easy to talk to, great and replying to us quick for scheduling, made the whole process a breeze. Such a great experience, the photos turned out so well, would recommend her to anyone! I had no idea getting photos done (as someone who can be really … More self-conscious) could be a lot of fun

Heather is an artist. What more is there to say? Many, many people can take a " nice photograph" but Heather creates a work of art. Heather made our wedding day richer, deeper and even more beautiful that it already was. She was calm and professional but at the same time it felt as though we had one more friend there. She even shared in the cake with us! Throughout the ceremony, we didn't notice her taking photos but she caught the most beautiful moments. As an unexpected treat … More we got some "sneak peaks" 2 days later. I cannot recommend her enough! BOOK HER NOW!!
