I'm Kaylyn van Driesum,
aka KVD
I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer who has spent the past 9 years documenting couples with intention, care, and genuine joy. My work is a blend of honest, documentary frames with an editorial refinement, creating imagery that feels both real and artfully composed.
I believe your wedding deserves to be remembered for how it felt, not just how it looked.
I believe photographs should live beyond the screen — framed, printed, and woven into the rhythm of your home.
And I believe deeply in the beauty and everyday sacredness of marriage (and hope you do, too).
Originally from central British Columbia, I now call Vancouver home. When I’m not photographing weddings across Canada and beyond, you’ll find me next to friends + family, travelling with my husband (ten countries down, many more to come), decorating our character apartment, and dreaming about a future property filled with an equal amount of kids and dogs.
To make this entire process EASY.
From the very first email until the day you're married (and beyond), I'll be there to answer questions, help bring your visions and ideas to life, and cheer you on throughout the way.
You can expect prompt replies, clear communication, thoughtful guidance, and galleries delivered on time.
To feel like a friend with a camera.
I hope your guests ask us how we know one another — because that’s how I’ll know I’ve done my job right.
As your friend with a camera
(okay, many cameras), you can relax and put your trust in me. You can expect gentle guidance when you need it, effortless portraits, and plenty of space for the beautiful, candid moments to unfold naturally.
Nothing stiffly posed. Nothing that doesn’t feel like you.
To ensure your photos remain
true to the day.
It's my goal to give you timeless images that tell the story of your day beautifully.
Your images will find their way into frames and onto your walls.
They'll be shared with friends + family for years to come... and maybe even passed on to kids + grandkids of your own one day.
It's my hope that every time you see them it brings you right back to that day, and you can say "that's exactly how I remember it."
