Not Just the Guy with the Camera

Hi! I am Whistler Steve

Whistler Wedding Photographer, Officiant, Elopement Planner

I’m Steve —  Whistler local, co-founder of Whistler Elopements  and Whistler wedding photographer.

Over the past 15+ years, I’ve been one of the lead photographers at Tara Lilly Photography, documenting hundreds of weddings — big and small, around the world and right here in the mountains I call home. That experience has shaped the way I work: calm, confident, and fully present. Whether I’m photographing a 150-guest luxury celebration or a quiet mini-elopement in the trees, my goal is always the same — to help you feel grounded and connected, and to capture photographs that reflect it.

I’ve spent the last few years building Whistler Elopements alongside Tara — crafting all-inclusive elopement experiences designed to help couples slow down and take it all in while enjoying their more adventurous side. That same approach shows up in all my work. I believe your wedding day should feel like yours, and I’ll do whatever it takes to help make that happen — from wrangling a wedding party, sneaking you drinks or tying shoes, to reworking a timeline to protect the moment you exchange your vows.

If you’re looking for someone to quietly document the day from the sidelines — I’m probably not your guy.

But if you want someone who knows how to guide the flow, read the room, and help create moments you’ll actually remember — I’d love to be part of your day.
