Island Moments Photography is a Vancouver Island wedding photographer serving couples from a base in the Parksville and Nanaimo area. Its official website lists wedding, elopement and engagement photography, with an office in Nanoose Bay and a stated willingness to travel. No complete public street address is provided on the reviewed pages.

The company publishes three wedding packages, identifies options for intimate celebrations and adventure elopements, and describes a team-based approach to coverage. This profile summarizes those operator-published details without independently assessing image quality, availability or suitability for a particular venue. It was last reviewed on October 8, 2026.

Services and specialization

The official website presents Island Moments Photography as a wedding, elopement and engagement photography team. Its wedding offering ranges from short coverage for local elopements and micro weddings to longer celebrations. The company also invites enquiries about customized adventure elopements in settings such as beaches, forests, boats, cabins and hiking locations.

The photographers describe their approach as combining gentle posing with candid moments. Separate portrait services are available, but couples researching this listing should consult the wedding packages because their coverage, inclusions and booking conditions differ from regular portrait sessions.

Service area and who it may suit

Island Moments Photography says it is based in the Parksville/Nanaimo area, with its office in Nanoose Bay. The business states that it is willing to travel, while its wedding material emphasizes Vancouver Island locations. The supplied official pages do not define a fixed travel radius or publish a complete travel-fee schedule.

The documented packages may suit couples planning an intimate local ceremony, a micro wedding or a celebration requiring several hours of photography. Couples considering a remote or logistically complex elopement can request a customized proposal rather than relying on a standard package.

Vancouver Island weddings and elopements are the stated geographic focus
Travel beyond the local area requires confirmation

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the amount of package information available before an enquiry. The wedding page states coverage duration, image count and major inclusions for each standard option. It also says weddings include a team of two photographers, with the possibility of a third team member training during 2026.

These are published features rather than independent endorsements. Practical limitations include the absence of a public street address, undefined travel costs and date restrictions on the shortest package. The website also directs couples to its fine print for complete policies, so the summary package page should not be treated as the full contract.

Standard packages identify expected coverage time and image count
The two longer packages include an engagement session
The highest-priced listed package includes an album, an image block and prints
The KISS package is not offered on summer Saturdays from the May long weekend through the September long weekend
Adventure-elopement logistics and prices are customized rather than fully published

Pricing

Wedding prices are explicitly published on the official package page. The displayed amounts should be verified directly before booking, particularly because the page also lists a 2026 new-booking incentive and refers couples to separate fine print for complete terms.

For new 2026 bookings, the website says couples receive either 15 to 30 complimentary minutes of coverage or a reduction or waiver of travel fees. It also advertises a complimentary mini engagement session with the KISS package. Couples should confirm which incentive applies to their date and location.

The KISS: $1,895 for three hours and 300 images; no substitutions or add-ons, with a seasonal Saturday restriction
The Salt Spring II: $2,595 for four hours and 400 images; includes an engagement session and permits additional coverage
The Vancouver Island II: $3,495 for four and a half hours and 450 images; includes an engagement session, album, image block and specified prints
Additional coverage for the two eligible packages: $250 per 30 minutes
A fixed price for a customized adventure elopement is not published

Contact and booking

Couples can contact Island Moments Photography by telephone at 250-468-0376 or by email at lisa@islandmomentsphotography.com. The official contact page also provides an enquiry form. The company asks prospective clients to share their plans so that coverage and location details can be discussed.

The supplied pages do not publish a complete postal address or live availability calendar. Couples should therefore use the official contact channels to ask whether their date is open and where any in-person meeting would occur.

What couples should confirm

Before paying a retainer or signing an agreement, couples should request the current contract and fine print. Published package summaries are useful for comparison, but they do not answer every question about travel, delivery schedules, rescheduling or the exact staffing plan.

Confirmation is especially important for summer Saturdays, remote adventure locations and celebrations requiring more than the listed coverage. Couples should also verify whether the 2026 incentive is available for their chosen package.
