About US
Beautiful Life Studios BC is a collective of some of Vancouver’s most talented wedding photographers and videographers. We are artists, storytellers, light chasers, and fortunately for us, really great friends. We've been capturing weddings, proposals, elopements, and special events for over 8 years!
We love weddings and love the friendships that we form with our couples. Through many years of experience, we've had the opportunity to gain complete confidence shooting all of the different cultures including South Asian, Chinese, Italian, Greek Ismaili, Persian, Jewish, and Western weddings!
When we are not shooting weddings. We are out exploring our beautiful province. We have a real love for adventure and often recharge our batteries in the great outdoors by camping, hiking, snowboarding, surfing, and hunting for cool air bnb's with inspiring views!

Hi!
How Did You Get Into Videography?
“I fell in love with wedding videography when I shot my sister's wedding at the Vancouver Club. I had been working in many avenues of film making at the time, but getting to illustrate the beauty of that important day through my filming and editing style was such a fulfilling experience, that I have been hooked ever since."
What Is It Like Working With You?
“I capture memories with a floating, observational perspective, always moving the camera to punctuate the feeling I'm experiencing. I'm always looking for the smaller details, the ones you may not have remembered otherwise.”

NICOLE - Photographer
How Did You Get Into Photography?
My journey into the world of capturing love stories began in the most unexpected way. Born and raised in a small town, my fascination with visual storytelling started when I received my first camera as a birthday gift from my grandfather at the age of 12. From that moment on, I found myself endlessly capturing moments, emotions, and the beauty of the world around me.
What Is It Like Working With You?
“I’m a very enthusiastic photographer. I like to collaborate with my couples to create works of art that feel unique to each wedding. I want your wedding photos to feel like the most beautiful versions of you; reflective of your style, your relationship, your day. I keep the energy high and I keep the shoots fun and relaxed while using my experience to help guide you.”
Your Favourite Part to Document At Weddings:
“I dig group photos! I love the interactions between friends and family in candid group shots, and I love bringing some glamour to the formal wedding party and family photos.“
ANGELO - Videographer
How Did You Get Into Videography?
“In 2003 I was studying at film school and met my wife who was a successful wedding planner in Rio de Janeiro. That was my starting point and soon I fell in love with telling wedding stories. In 2004 I decided to open my own company In Brazil and in a short time we were doing the most beautiful weddings in Brazil. Until I moved to Canada.”
What Is It Like Working With You?
“I am discreet, focused and very detail oriented. My intention is to capture the moment in its essence, without unnecessary interference so that everything is fluid, true and very natural.”

Julie - Photographer
As a light-filled photographer with a classic and timeless style, valuing genuine human connection is my top priority. Being quick on my feet, I am able to effortlessly photograph clients while making them feel both comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Creating natural images with an editorial flair and capturing you as you are is my specialty – no overly posed mannequins here!
ANGELA - Photographer
How Did You Get Into Photography?
“I love the feeling of nostalgia. Some great memories I have with my family is pulling out all the old albums and sitting around the kitchen table reminiscing and looking at my parents/ grandparents’ memories. I want to create that for others. I want to make moments last a lifetime.”

“Working with me is like spending the day with a friend. I will strive to make every situation feel relaxed and I will make sure you are taken care of all while capturing the best version of your day.”

SASHA- Manager
How did you get into the wedding photography & videography business?
At the age of five, my godmother took me to her friend’s wedding and I fell in love with this event. In 2016, I entered the Film University and at the same time started working in a wedding videography studio. First I worked as a videographer and editor and then, after I graduated from University in 2021, I climbed the career ladder and began working as an executive producer and production manager.
What Is It Like Working With You?
Honestly, calm and comfortable. I will make sure that all your questions are resolved, the best package is customized, and final products are delivered on time. I always take control of everything and do my work with the highest quality possible.
