Pure Joy, Pure Love
About Us
Based in Vancouver, The Captures Collective is a photo and video collective focused on telling honest, heartfelt stories from your wedding day.
We notice it all: the quiet glances, the big emotions, and the little details you spent months planning. We believe your photos and films should feel just like the day itself — full of love, movement, and meaning.
It’s a true honour for us to be part of such an important chapter in your lives, and we’re here to make sure those memories are captured just the way you felt them.
