What working together feels like
The photographs matter. So does how the day feels while we make them.
You do not need a finished timeline, a perfect location or the exact number of hours before you reach out. Start with the kind of day you are imagining. We will help shape the coverage, light and logistics around what matters most to you.
The Summit & Sage experience
Working with us
Working with us is more than choosing a package and getting a gallery. It is the calls beforehand, the way we help you feel comfortable and the space we leave for your day to happen as it really does. These four ideas are a big part of how we work.
What those words mean
What this looks like on the day.
These are not just words we liked for the page. They are things we actually think about before and during every wedding, elopement and session.
Anticipation
Before the day, we learn who matters most to you and which relationships deserve extra attention. That helps us anticipate the reactions, quiet moments and half-seconds that cannot be recreated. We never force emotion; we simply understand your people well enough to be ready when it appears.
Connection
Most people are at least a little nervous about being photographed. We get to know you beforehand, arrive early enough to feel familiar and give you prompts when you need them. Once you are comfortable, we step back and let you forget about us.
Celebration
You invited your favourite people because you want to spend time with them. We shape the timeline so portraits have enough room without pulling you away from the celebration all day. When something better than the plan is happening, we follow it.
Movement
Movement is a huge part of our work because stiff posing rarely feels like the people in front of us. We would rather have you walk, dance, breathe and interact the way you normally do. Sometimes we use intentional blur to give a photograph more energy and feeling.
Intimate wedding photography
Weddings
Coverage can hold one meaningful part of the day or follow the full story from getting ready into the celebration. We help you choose the amount of time based on your priorities, locations and the moments you do not want rushed.
Every wedding collection includes
- Planning questionnaire and timeline guidance
- Location and light recommendations
- Documentary coverage with gentle direction
- Sneak peeks, a complete online gallery and personal printing rights
Elopements in BC and Alberta
Elopements
An elopement is not a smaller wedding. It is room to be intentional. That might mean a quiet ceremony near home, a full afternoon exploring together or an alpine route that begins before sunrise. We help shape the place, pace and coverage around the experience.
Every elopement collection includes
- Location scouting and honest light advice
- Timeline and ceremony guidance
- Adventure-specific logistics when needed
- Sneak peeks, a complete online gallery and personal printing rights
Adventure proposals are built around the route, access, permits, terrain, light and the amount of time the experience needs. You receive one clear price rather than a pile of hiking surcharges.
Couples storytelling sessions
Couples Sessions
We choose a place that feels right, give you enough direction to stop thinking about the camera and make photographs out of the way you already are together. No performance and no pressure to turn the session into something it is not.
Your session includes
- Up to 90 minutes together
- Space for two outfits
- Location and timing guidance
- A complete gallery, no photo limit and personal printing rights
Optional add-ons
Film, Polaroids and extra time.
Your collection is complete as it is. These are simply a few ways to add something tactile, a different kind of nostalgia or more room in the timeline when the day calls for it.
35mm Film
Genuine film photographs woven through your digital coverage for grain, imperfect colour and a little unpredictability.
Developing included $150 per rollPolaroid Pouch
Twenty instant photographs gathered into a pouch, giving you something tangible to hold before the full gallery arrives.
$100 per pouchAdditional Coverage

Frequently asked questions.
What is your photography style?
Our style blends thoughtful direction with documentary storytelling. We step in when a moment could benefit from movement, intention or a more polished editorial feel, then step back to anticipate emotion and let the day unfold. Our editing is classic and nostalgic, with motion blur and what Cam calls “ghosting” used to add energy and another dimension to the photographs.
How do we know if Summit & Sage is the right fit for us?
If you are sentimental, feel at home with our goofy personalities and want your photographs to feel like more than a checklist, we will likely be a great fit. You do not need to know how to pose, but you do need to care about the photographs and be willing to give the process time, trust and a little creative energy.
We feel awkward in front of the camera. Will you help us?
Absolutely. We use movement, play and simple direction to help you loosen up instead of holding stiff poses. Your partner is your anchor, so we will help you lean into each other, breathe and focus on the person you already know and love.
Will both of you photograph our day?
Yes, we always photograph together. Because we know how each other works, one of us can stay focused on the main moment while the other watches what is happening around it. You receive two trusted perspectives without us bringing someone unfamiliar into your day.
Do you travel for weddings and elopements?
Yes. We travel throughout British Columbia, Alberta and beyond, charging only the direct cost of the transportation and accommodation required for your celebration. We also keep a small bucket list of destinations where we may waive the photography fee when travel and accommodation are covered, so tell us where you are dreaming of going.
How do we choose the right amount of coverage?
Coverage should give your day room to breathe instead of turning it into a checklist. If you want both getting ready and the dance floor documented, eight hours is usually the best fit. We will talk through your priorities and locations so there is enough time for real moments and our strongest work.
How many photographs will we receive, and when?
We typically deliver around 40–50 edited photographs per hour of coverage, but we do not promise a fixed number because every celebration unfolds differently. We photograph what is genuinely happening rather than padding a gallery to meet a quota. Sneak peeks arrive within one week, and your complete gallery within 12 weeks.
