If you missed the first part of Yukina and Hide’s story, and how we connected, go check out our post from last week about how I had the chance to visit them in Japan in 2023!

Today, I’m sharing part two—their stunning wedding that I had the honor of capturing this past year in Victoria, BC.

Myself and our team of photographers at Megan Maundrell Photography truly love and feel so honored to get to know you and your story. It’s the only way we can authentically share it the way it’s meant to be told.

We would love to work with you in 2025/2026

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Christmas looked a little different for me this year. No cats in my Christmas photo, and if you’ve been around for a while, you know that they’ve been joining me in every Christmas photo since I got them! Unfortunately, I couldn’t bring them to Australia, so they had to sit this one out.

And this year, I spent the full day in bed with food poisoning. Thankfully I took these photos on Christmas Eve, before the elaborate fish dinner that I apparently didn’t cook long enough.

Even though I spent the day alone, I had plenty of company and love sent to me from back home. ❤️

Wishing you and yours a happy holiday season and a wonderful new year!

Three lessons I’ve learned while travelling abroad:

1. You’re never truly travelling alone. There’s always someone who’s also on a journey, someone to talk to, someone to adventure with and to learn from.

2. Try not to have expectations. Doing so leaves room for your own experience without comparing through the lens of someone else’s instagram post.

3. Leave room for struggle. Even if you don’t see it, almost every adventure comes with challenges. Allow them to soak in and help you grow.

Soooo many more lessons to be learned, but until then, drop your Australia or travel questions below, and I’ll be sure to answer them!

One of the most magical ways to add intimacy to your wedding day is through a private vow exchange.

For couples who want this kind of closeness, a private vow ceremony is perfect. You can say all those things you might not want anyone else to hear—thoughts that only you and your partner will understand. And the beauty of it? We’re there, capturing every glance, tear, and smile and embrace, so even though it’s private, those memories will last forever.

Think about this when you’re planning your day—your wedding should reflect who you are, and this intimate moment might be exactly what you’re looking for.

We’ve been talking about skipping the traditional wedding script for something a little more “you.” From intimate elopements and cozy private ceremonies to full weekend celebrations, your wedding can be exactly what you want it to be—and we’re here for it!

Take Elizabeth and Alex, for example. Their day was a perfect reflection of who they are, and the photos feel like pure magic because of it. We’re all about working with couples who crave something unique, who want their day to feel true to them while still capturing everything you expect from wedding photography (and then some).

If you’re dreaming of photos that feel like *you*—candid, beautiful, and one-of-a-kind—we’d love to make it happen together. Let’s connect and start planning the day you’ve always envisioned!

People often ask if we photograph more than just weddings and engagements, and the answer is a resounding YES! This beach session with Marc and Kim was not only a breathtaking family shoot, but also a vow renewal. What a heartfelt way to celebrate their love and commitment, surrounded by their beautiful children. These images capture the true essence of family—full of joy, love, and the wonderful chaos that comes with growing together as a couple and as parents.

We love documenting these special milestones, whether it’s a family session, maternity shoot, or any moment that marks an important chapter in your life. There’s something magical about freezing those fleeting, real-life moments to look back on forever. Do you want to see more family sessions from us? We’d love to capture yours!

Hey everyone, meet Amanda! Her biggest priorities during sessions are ensuring you’re enjoying yourself and feeling relaxed in front of the camera – she’s the chillest on our team! Amanda knows how intimidating it can be to pose for photos, so she uses lots of movement and prompts to get you in the groove and forget there’s even a camera there.

Amanda’s passions extend beyond photography. She loves reading, cooking up a storm, savoring iced chai lattes, taking leisurely walks, and spending time with her adorable cat and dog – they’re the cutest duo! 🐾💕

We’re proud to have a diverse team of photographers all over, ready to capture your special moments with their unique styles. Whether you’re seeking a relaxed and fun shoot like Amanda’s or something more classic or adventurous, there’s a perfect fit for everyone! 🌈✨
