The Look Like Art Guarantee

You don't need to be a model, and you don't need to know how to pose. We direct every movement, every glance — real prompts, not stiff instructions — so what lands in your gallery looks like an editorial spread, not a couple standing stiffly in a park. If your gallery isn't something you'd genuinely want to frame, we reshoot it. No debate, no fine print.

Not sure which one fits? The Golden Hour is where most couples land — it's built to be the safe, no-regrets pick. Still unsure? Say so in the form and we'll help you decide on the call.
Before You Ask

Common questions

What if we're awkward or don't know how to pose?

Completely normal — most couples tell us this beforehand, and it's never actually true once we start shooting. We don't hand you stiff instructions; we give you small, real prompts and direction throughout, the same way editorial studios shoot working models who've never modeled before either.

How does the "Artist Pick + Client Pick" retouching work?

After your shoot, we select our favorite frames for full fine-art retouching — skin, tone, detail — that's the Artist Pick. Then you go through your full color-graded gallery and choose additional frames you love most for the same level of retouching — that's your Client Pick. You get our editorial eye and your own favorites, both polished to the same standard.

Why do you include 35mm film, Polaroids, and social reels?

Because different mediums do different jobs. Film gives you texture and depth digital alone can't fake — it's the Isen Films signature. Polaroids give you something physical to hold the same day, before you've even seen the gallery. And the reel is built for how you'll actually share this — Instagram, TikTok, a save-the-date. None of it's filler; each one solves something the others can't.

How fast do we get our photos?

A sneak peek within 24 hours, and your full gallery — fully color-graded and retouched — within two weeks.

We're not even married yet — why book a shoot now?

Because you'll need the photos before the wedding, not after it. Save-the-dates, invitations, a welcome sign, an engagement announcement, your wedding website — all of that needs real photos of you two, and your actual wedding day is too chaotic to shoot any of it then. This session is where those assets come from, done somewhere relaxed instead of squeezed into 10 minutes at the reception.

What if it rains, or the light isn't great?

We reschedule at no cost — weather calls are made 24 hours out, and your date is held until we get it right.

Do you travel outside Burnaby or Vancouver?

Yes — Coquitlam and the wider Lower Mainland are no problem. Further out, a small travel fee may apply; ask on the call.

How far out should we book?

2–3 weeks is typical. Weekend slots go first, so earlier is safer if you have a specific date in mind.

Can we split a package with another couple, or add extra time?

Extra time and add-ons (extra locations, rush editing, additional prints) can be added to any package — mention it in the form and we'll price it on the call.

Do you shoot elopements?

Elopements are considered on a case-by-case basis — tell us about it in the form and we'll let you know if it's a fit.

Do you shoot full weddings?

No — we don't shoot weddings. If you're a wedding photographer looking for guidance, we do offer consulting based on your specific needs — book a call and we'll talk through it.

Let's Talk

Tell me about you two.

Fill this out and I'll reply within 48 hours — most inquiries turn into a quick call to lock the details before the shoot.
