Emma & Nicholas’ Boathouse Wedding in Vancouver, BC

Emma and Nicolas’ love story is one of unwavering devotion, built over 11 years of shared dreams, challenges, and triumphs.

From moving across the country together to navigating the demands of post-graduate studies, they have stood side by side, always putting each other first. Their kindness and selflessness extend beyond their relationship, touching everyone around them with warmth and generosity.

On their wedding day, surrounded by family and friends, they exchanged vows at the stunning UBC Boathouse in Vancouver, BC—an elegant waterfront setting that reflected the depth and serenity of their love. As the sun cast golden hues over the Fraser River, they promised forever to one another, a continuation of the beautiful journey they had already begun.

“Shayla recently was the videographer for my wedding, and I was blown away by her on all fronts. I was nervous about hiring a videographer because I couldn’t find one who came recommended and was within my budget. Shayla is extremely affordable without any compromise to quality. We got our teaser video and ceremony & first dance videos SO quickly I was amazed. Even my wedding coordinator was shocked at the speed. She creates such timeless beauty in her videos and you can tell she cares so much about the finished product and her couples. She has the best energy and is all about making the couple feel so comfortable and capturing them in their natural element. Shayla goes above and beyond to make sure things are really personalized and reflective of the couple – no cookie cutter templates or short cuts here. If you are on the fence of a videographer, from a bride who was as well I say book one. And if you’re going to book one, you might as well book the best and go with Shayla! You will not regret it!” — Emma & Nicholas
