Let's face it - dating in Vancouver is tough, especially when dating apps like Tinder focus mostly on the photos. Unfortunately that means if you don't have great photos, you're not going to get great matches.

We solve this problem by taking stunning, authentic photos of our clients. They're engineered to stand out from the noise (and bathroom selfies) on dating apps. It's the easiest way to gain an advantage and match with better people.
We've worked with hundreds of clients in the lower mainland. Then we follow up after 6 weeks to learn what photos worked (and which didn't). This allows us to fine-tune our approach and take even better photos for our clients in Vancouver.
We've worked with well +1,000 clients since 2018. In this time, we've learned a LOT about what works (and what doesn't). We continuously try to improve our understanding of effective dating photography, including:
Dating apps don't have built-in analytics, so we've built a custom testing framework that shows our clients how to measure the performance of their photos.
After 6 weeks we follow up to learn what worked (and what didn't). This helps us better understand current trends, seasonality, location factors and more. It also helps us fine-tune our approach, allowing future clients to benefit from the learnings.
After all our research we've developed a recipe that produces high-performance dating profiles. It's not rocket science, but here's the secret sauce:
Basically, people just want to see that you're a good, trustworthy person. They want to see that you have a life (hobbies, career, etc.) and they want to know they're going to be safe with you.
We'll find all of your best angles and photograph you looking your very best. Your photos will showcase all of your best assets, while highlighting your charm, personality and confidence.
Our style is often referred to as "candid lifestyle". It's natural, unposed, unstaged, authentic and in the moment.
It's not supposed to look like you hired someone to take photos of you all day. Instead it will look like you were out enjoying your day, and one of your friends just happened to snap a photo with their fancy camera.
We're going to be your best friend on shoot day.
We'll get you to laugh, open up and not take yourself so seriously. These natural laughs will help the photos look authentic and genuine.
We also let you change outfits during the shoot, giving you multiple different looks from one session. Each time you change your outfit, we'll bring you to a new backdrop nearby that suits what you're wearing.
When the shoot is done you'll have a private gallery of authentic, high-converting photos to use on your dating apps.

Coal Harbour or Granville Island
Justin and Valeria primarily shoot either at Canada Place or Granville Island). Granville has a lot of colours, combined with the city landscape with the seawall in the back. Whereas Canada Place has a great mix of upscale office buildings, greenery, waterfront and cute cafes. It all just depends on your preference!
Metrotown (Yoshi)
Metrotown has the perfect blend of Urban cityscapes, Parks and nature background and corporate setting. It's the perfect place to get everything from a lifestyle shoot, an outdoor nature shoot, and even a corporate headshot.
Hey, I'm Justin 👋
I'm the founder & lead photographer. I've personally photographed over +450 clients to optimize their dating profiles.
I specialize in working with beginners - people who have never had a photoshoot done before, and quite frankly, aren't excited about getting their photo taken. I'll walk you through the whole process and provide posing & facial expression coaching to help you look natural, candid and confident.
My goal is to give you the best photos you've ever had. It won't look like you hired a photographer to follow you around. Instead, it will look like you just happened to be out enjoying your day, and one of your friends just happened to snap a few candid photos of you. We shoot in real-life scenarios like city streets, coffee shops and parks. That means they don't look too staged or rigid. Instead they'll look natural and effortless.
When all is said and done, you'll have a private gallery of stunning images that are optimized for online dating. However, many of my clients end up using their photos for other purposes, too (like LinkedIn, Instagram, website or their personal brand).
Let's work together and make some magic. 💪
Hi, I'm Valeria! 👋
I have been a photographer for over ten years now! I started in Fashion photography and continued shooting creative portraits, fashion and lifestyle photography. Now I'm passionate about capturing the best in people to help them find love.
Great photos don't need to be complicated - keep it candid and casual. We will have fun with the process and it will show in your photos!
Your profile and first photo are your first impression. Make it a good one! I think as an online dating photographer, I love seeing clients get the matches they deserve with a good quality photograph. Dating pics are crucial to scoring a good match, so it's important to have the best ones out there!
Hi, I'm Yoshi! 👋
I'm a local portrait photographer from Burnaby who's been in the arts his whole life - music, dance and photography.
I started out as a landscape photographer. Landscapes, astrophotography and cityscapes was what got me into photography. I transitioned into doing portraits in 2017 and haven't looked back.
Being able to bring out the best in someone is very rewarding. A good portrait can make people happy, comfortable and confident in themselves. I find that amazing. My goal is to be able to help people connect with others through my photography.
"... 51 likes on Tinder and 37 on Bumble. At no point in history of using any dating apps have I ever seen numbers above 10 likes over a month or more."
