A Forest Elopement in Lynn Canyon

Lynn Canyon is one of those places that immediately makes you slow down. Tucked into the edge of Vancouver, it’s filled with mossy trails, towering trees, waterfalls, and the peaceful rhythm of nature. It’s the kind of location that makes you feel grounded, which is exactly what makes it so perfect for an intimate elopement.

As a Vancouver elopement photographer, I’m always drawn to places that feel peaceful and quiet. This forest has a little bit of everything: natural beauty and soft light.
