Meet Mariah Coulombe

Mariah, photographer, smiling holding camera

I’m Mariah, a published professional photographer based in the stunning city of Victoria on Vancouver Island.

Photography has been my passion for as long as I can remember. It’s more than just taking pictures; it’s about capturing deep connections, real emotions, and the special stories that are unique to you.

I specialize in working with couples, focusing on weddings and elopements. I am passionate about documenting love stories in an artistic, natural, and timeless way. My approach blends creativity with authenticity, using mostly natural light, thoughtful compositions, and innovative techniques to create images that genuinely reflect who you are together.

My priority is making you feel comfortable, confident, and free to be yourself in front of the camera. I know that posing for photos can sometimes feel intimidating, but I’ll be there to guide you whether it’s helping with natural poses, choosing the perfect location, or simply making sure you’re having fun.

Every session is a collaboration, designed to reflect your style and vision. Whether you're saying "I do”, celebrating a milestone, or just wanting to capture beautiful memories together, I’d be honoured to document your story.

Let’s connect and create something truly special!
