GET TO KNOW ME BETTER
Q1. Your idea of a perfect date night ?
Exploring a new city with a very well planned itinerary. (I'm a type A girl who LOVES a clear plan.) Looking for the best slice of pizza or gelato they have to offer, but finding a busker that hits you in the feels.
Q2. What's your go-to dance move at weddings ?
You'll often see me on the dance floor, up in the action getting those fun movement shots!
My go to move is a bop along, with my camera in hand, capturing guests all secret like.
Q3. What's your spirit animal, and why is it a perfect match ?
A bunny! I'm energetic, and I'm always hopping from thing to thing. I scan the room for the next laugh, hug or funny moment, and keep the vibes high.
Q4. What’s your guilty pleasure TV show or movie?
Sex in the City! "The most exciting, challenging, and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself."
the world in a way words could never capture. From a young age, I found solace and inspiration in freezing moments that convey emotions and tell stories without uttering a single word. My journey as a photographer has taken me to breathtaking landscapes, intimate celebrations.
ilm making is my true passion, and I feel so grateful to have a career I enjoy so deeply.
As a true romantic, wedding films combine my love for both artistry and emotion. I am deeply passionate about what I do, and have had the pleasure of filming weddings across Vancouver Island, Vancouver, and even Italy—each experience is a unique opportunity to capture timeless moments and preserve them for generations.

My filmmaking journey began while documenting my solo travels through Asia, Australia, and Central America, creating travel films that I shared with the friends I met along the way. After watching my first wedding film on YouTube, I immediately knew I had found my true calling. I pursued formal education at the British Columbia Institute of Technology in Vancouver, and in 2019, I founded LilyVenture Films. Since then, I’ve been fortunate to grow my team and continue capturing beautiful love stories for couples around the world.
Q5. Where are you from?
I was originally born in Halifax, but my journey has taken me coast to coast, and I now live in Victoria, BC! I LOVE to travel, which you'll still catch me doing in the off season. I've travelled to 30+ countries, so if you need any ideas for a honey moon location, I'm your girl!

August 2022
After graduating high school in 2014, I started working at a hair salon in Downtown Victoria. I discovered that although I love to make people feel beautiful, taken care of and special, that the hair industry wasn't for me. I then saved up, and travelled around the world for a year. On my travels I made short films, and included all the people I met along the way, I loved it so much and realized I wanted to know more about film making, and make it my career some how!
I came across my first wedding film on YouTube, and something just CLICKED. I had never seen something so beautiful and cinematic. I truly felt like I knew the couple, after only watching a 10 minute wedding film. I knew I wanted to learn how to make wedding films, beautiful high quality films to save couples, and their families memories for years to come. I attended BCIT for the film and sound design program, and that is where my passion began.
BCIT was a great place to start - but I wanted more specialized education before jumping in the deep end, filming my first wedding. I furthered my studies online, and took courses that focused on wedding videography specifically and learned the details of a wedding day, and how to capture it perfectly. I opened "Lily Venture Films" formally known as "Lily Ventures Creative" in May of 2019, and did s much free work as possible to perfect my craft.
2022 was my first fully booked year! A dream come true. I captured 25 love stories + many other projects through out the year. I met so many wonderful kind couples, and worked with dream vendors around Victoria and the mainland.
With 7 years + of study, and weddings I can't help but reflect and feel SO much gratitude for the trust each couple has had in me, and my (ever growing!) team. I have now captured weddings internationally, and all over Canada, and I can't wait for the 2025 season. Looking forward to connecting with you, and hearing about your wedding film dreams!
