Capturing Island Memories – Family Adventure Photography on Vancouver Island


As a Comox Valley photographer who specializes in couples and family adventure sessions across Vancouver Island, I’m constantly inspired by the stunning natural landscapes this island offers. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful vacationing family in Nanaimo. For their session, they chose to document beautiful memories at Neck Point Park — one of Vancouver Island’s most scenic coastal spots for an adventurous and intimate session.


This unique session was all about connection, movement, and real moments. Neck Point offers rugged rocks, perfect golden hour light, and beautiful ocean waves surrounded the entire park! The setting was perfect for natural, candid family photography. Whether you're a local or visiting Vancouver Island, a photography session at locations like Neck Point creates timeless keepsakes of your island adventures.

Why Choose Neck Point in Nanaimo for Your Neck Vancouver Island Photoshoot


When it comes to lifestyle and adventure photography on Vancouver Island, Neck Point is an underrated gem. Located just minutes from central Nanaimo, this oceanside park offers a perfect variety of trails, rocky cliffs, and beautiful ocean views. For families or couples on vacation, it’s a chance to explore and document meaningful time together in a natural setting. No stiff poses, just playful, organic connection.


As a Vancouver Island adventure photographer, I love guiding families through these experiences. Sessions are relaxed and tailored to your energy. Maybe for you that looks like hiking trails, or splashing in the water, or snuggling on driftwood logs as the sun sets.
