Portrait Photography The Photographer
Vancouver Wedding Photographer | Sachin Khona
Vancouver Wedding Photographer
I had been dreaming of living in Vancouver since 2006 and finally moved in 2012.
Born and raised in London, UK, I went to visit some friends in Calgary, Alberta in September 2006 and from there we drove through the Rocky Mountains via Banff + Golden, white water rafting on the Kicking Horse and camping in Revelstoke. I then arrived in beautiful Vancouver before visiting the island and heading to Tofino. I was immediately in love.
You either get that feeling or you don’t and I had it .. “I have to move here!”
And that was it.

The people, the beauty of the city with the mountains, the beach and the overall lifestyle of the city especially was a HUGE draw.
I returned to England to finish off a contract in finance and looked into applying for visas. Long story short (if we ever meet, I’ll fill you in on the longer version, promise).. I got my visa in 2011 and finally began my move in February 2012. I stayed for 2 months meeting people, settling in, shooting engagement sessions, portrait sessions and networking with the best photographers and wedding vendors in Vancouver and really enjoying life.
Years later I now have shot weddings all over the world and I’m passionate about telling stories, your story, wherever it may be. Weddings have taken me all over Vancouver where I continue to be based and over to Victoria and surrounding islands including Thetis, Galiano and Quadra and further away in Canada to Kelowna, Shuswap Lake, Naramata Bench,(Penticton), Bella Coola and Toronto.
A passionate traveller, I love to explore new parts of the world. I have captured stories in destinations including France, Greece, Italy, Kenya, Cuba and around my home country, the UK. Recent street photography trips have taken me to Myanmar, India, Cuba and soon Japan!
I’m a member of Junebug Weddings since 2014, Fearless Photographers and am most proud of being a part of a collective of Street Photographers, The 8 Street. I have an up to date passport and love to meet and mix with new cultures.
I believe your wedding should be captured in a candid, unobtrusive and creative way. My aim is to authentically document your wedding as it happens, moment to moment.
I’m excited to meet you!
