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.

The right choice for our wedding day. Super easy to work with and made incredible photos. Heather really tried to understand what we were looking for and built from there - the pictures really captured our wedding vibe and amplified it.

Heather is an incredible photographer, and captured our wedding day perfectly!!! Our friends and family kept commenting on how lovely and professional she was throughout the day. And following the event, they were in AWE of our photos. We could not be happier with our photos and the wonderful service provided. Thank you Heather for capturing these memories so beautifully, we're forever grateful (Alex & Josh).

Heather from Tulle & Tweed Photography is an absolute gem! She captured our special day with such grace and finesse, and we can't say enough about her incredible skills. Heather's kind and warm personality put us at ease from the moment we met. Her artistic eye and attention to detail shone through in every shot, and she even went above and beyond by helping my wife with her veil, ensuring she looked stunning (she did).Not only did Heather work her magic behind the camera, but she was … More also a total hypewoman, keeping our energy high and reigning in our excited wedding guests for those much-needed group pictures. Her fast turnaround for the final photos was the cherry on top!We wholeheartedly recommend Heather to anyone in need of a talented and personable photographer. We can see her capturing our future family photos for years to come!

The talent of Heather with Tulle & Tweed Photography is pretty obvious - just check her website! What you don't see is Heather the person and this is what sets her apart. My experience working with her has shown me professionalism, kindness and pretty amazing communication skills. Heather also knows how to direct the scene - which is paramount when shooting a wedding or in my case proposals! I would never hesitate to recommend Tulle & Tweed Photography!Norma BogartBogart Wedding Proposals … More

We highered Heather for our wedding this past May. She was AMAZING!! So on top of things and organized (she literally saved me from getting red wine on my wedding dress). I am not someone who loves having thier photo taken but Heather was phenomenal and took an overwhelming amoung of good picutes. Still can't pick a favourite. 11/10 love <3

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
