Altars of Remembrance for Lovers of God’s Presence

Vancouver-based and available worldwide.

Hey friend, I’m so glad you’re here!

My name is Yan – it’s nice to meet you. At the heart of my craft is a devotion to documenting the presence of God, captured with intention, reverence, and artistry. For over a decade it’s been my delight to bless people all over the world with timeless photographic heirlooms, ushering couples into remembrance of their love for one another.

When I step away from the camera, you’ll find me at the piano, sipping a flat white, or having a deep in conversation with a close friend.

If this resonates with you, it would be my joy to preserve your sacred day with the craftsmanship of visual poetry.

Blessings, Yan
