<p>This past Thursday was nothing short of extraordinary. I had the privilege of setting up a heritage photobooth at the historic Hycroft Manor for a special event celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival. To say it was a wonderful experience would be an understatement.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hycroft Manor, with its stately charm and timeless elegance, provided the perfect backdrop. I was, in essence, a painter, and the Manor was my grand canvas. I was able to take advantage of the Manor's rich history and distinct style. The goal was to create family portraits that were not just pictures, but memories imprinted on paper. The kind of images that make you stop and stare, that transport you back to the moment when they were captured. The kind that just pop right off the page.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I love every aspect of my work, from planning the session to retouching the final images, and this event was no exception. Seeing the joy on the faces of families as they posed, the excitement in their eyes as they saw their images, was the highlight of my day. Knowing that I was able to create something that will be cherished for years to come is the most rewarding feeling.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In this line of work, it's not just about taking a photo. It's about creating an experience, making people comfortable in front of the camera, and capturing genuine moments. Just as I strive to make my clients laugh and feel at ease, this event was all about ensuring the guests had a fun and memorable time, while creating timeless photographs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After a decade of being behind the camera, I can say that no two events are the same. Each one brings with it a unique set of experiences, a new story to tell. And this Mid-Autumn Festival at Hycroft Manor was one for the books.</p>

A Memorable Mid-Autumn Festival at Hycroft Manor

<p>Vancouver BC has no shortage of places to shoot in, with its breathtaking natural landscapes and diverse urban scenes, there are many locations in the Lower Mainland that stands as an ideal backdrop for any photoshoot. From the lush greenery of Stanley Park to the vibrant streets of Olympic village, this city offers a plethora of picturesque locations to capture stunning images. The iconic skyline against the backdrop of the North Shore Mountains provides a striking contrast that photographers adore. Moreover, the city's multicultural vibe infuses every corner with unique charm, whether it's the colorful markets of Granville Island or the historic architecture of Chinatown. For those seeking a touch of romance, the sunsets along Whytecliff Park or the serenity of UBC's campus offer unparalleled beauty. Afterall, they don't call it west coast, best coast for nothing.</p>

<h1><a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/WRvDS5sTiC7LMz9j8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deer Lake Park - Burnaby, BC</a></h1>
<h2>Ideal for: Families, Couples, Portraits</h2>
<h2>Ideal Weather: Clear Skies (Golden Hour)</h2>

<h2>Cons: Slight uphill slopes, high population of geese and their waste</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Deer Lake Park is a bit of a hidden gem, nestled in the heart of Burnaby just outside of Vancouver, and offers a diverse and captivating backdrop for photoshoots. This picturesque park boasts a harmonious blend of natural beauty and cultural attractions, making it a photographer's paradise. The serene lake, surrounded by towering trees and lush greenery, provides a tranquil setting perfect for capturing moments of peace and reflection. Additionally, the park features winding trails that lead through dense forests and open meadows, offering a variety of scenic vistas and hidden nooks to explore.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Deer Lake Park is home to a vibrant arts and cultural scene, with attractions such as the Burnaby Art Gallery and Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. These venues not only add depth and character to the park but also offer unique architectural elements and artistic installations that can enhance any photoshoot, offering plenty of options from an urban look to portraits by the water. Whether against the backdrop of a stunning sunset over the lake or amidst the vibrant colors of a local art exhibit, Deer Lake Park provides endless opportunities for creativity and expression. It's versatility in both backdrops and ability to shoot in any season is why it often tops our list of choices to shoot in Vancouver.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Golden hour, that magical time shortly after sunrise or before sunset when the light is soft, warm, and golden, plays an especially enchanting role at Deer Lake Park. As the sun hangs low on the horizon, its gentle rays filter through the trees, casting long shadows and painting the landscape in hues of gold and amber.</p>

<h1><a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/bE6ztWJzJVzkd4KS9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queen Elizabeth Park - Vancouver, BC</a></h1>
<h2>Ideal for: Families, Couples</h2>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Queen Elizabeth Park, perched atop Little Mountain in Vancouver, is a popular spot for photos. Renowned for its breathtaking beauty and diverse landscapes, this park offers a plethora of stunning backdrops for photoshoots. Iconic spots offer multiple distinct looks that include the Celebration Pavilion (an incredibly popular spot for wedding ceremonies), the fountains and the Bloedel Conservatory.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A short walk away leads you to the elevated location offering a northern look of the city of Vancouver. A few steps away will lead you down a bridge path down to the vibrant flowers of Quarry Garden. During the spring time, the west side of the park offers a small field of cherry blossoms, a favorite among locals during the season.</p>

<h1><a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/RSEUW1Dkc9vpdDUH9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Steveston Village, Garry Point Park - Richmond, BC</a></h1>
<h2>Ideal for: Families, Couples</h2>
<h2>Ideal Weather: Clear Skies (Golden Hour) or Cloudy</h2>
<h2>Season: Spring, Summer</h2>
<h2>Parking: Free</h2>
<h2>Cons: Windy</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Garry Point Park, nestled at the mouth of the Fraser River in Richmond, British Columbia, offers photographers a delightful blend of natural beauty and coastal charm, complemented by the nearby historic Steveston Village. It boasts stunning views of the ocean, expansive sandy beaches, and picturesque walking trails lined with low trees and native flora. Additionally, its proximity to Steveston Village adds cultural richness to the backdrop, with its historic buildings, fishing boats, and vibrant waterfront atmosphere offering endless possibilities for creative storytelling and adding depth to any photoshoot experience.

<h1><a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/eNySTK8Qtupq5rLfA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Downtown Vancouver </a>- Vancouver Public Library, Vancouver Art Gallery, Coal Harbour</h1>

<h2>Ideal Weather: Any, some rain</h2>
<h2>Season: Any</h2>
<h2>Parking: Pay</h2>
<h2>Cons: Crowded on weekdays.</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Downtown Vancouver is one of my favorite places to shoot, thanks to its unique urban landscape and the dynamic lighting conditions created by the tall buildings. These towering structures, often reaching into the sky, create a canopy that partially covers the sun. This results in a wonderfully diffused, flat lighting that is ideal for photography, reducing harsh shadows and creating a balanced, soft illumination that flatters subjects and highlights architectural details.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition, downtown Vancouver offers a variety of covered areas that provide shelter from the frequent rain. These covered walkways and overhangs ensure that photo shoots can continue uninterrupted by the weather, adding an element of versatility to this location. The rain itself can also be a beautiful feature, adding a reflective quality to the streets and creating a moody, atmospheric backdrop.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another compelling aspect of downtown Vancouver is its array of quintessential landmarks. From the sleek lines of the Vancouver Public Library and the iconic sails of Canada Place to the historic charm of Gastown's Steam Clock, these landmarks offer diverse and picturesque backdrops for photography. Each site brings its own character and story, enhancing the visual narrative of the images captured.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, due to the density of the area, downtown Vancouver is not recommended for family photography. The bustling streets and constant flow of people can make it challenging to capture relaxed, intimate moments typically desired in family photos. The crowded environment can also pose safety concerns for young children. Therefore, while downtown Vancouver excels as a vibrant and visually rich setting for urban and architectural photography, those looking for serene and family-friendly locations might want to consider quieter, more spacious areas, like the nearby Stanley Park.</p>

<h2>Cons: Crowded, especilly on weekends</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Olympic Village in Vancouver is an ideal location for family photos, offering some of the city's most iconic views. Located on the southeast shore of False Creek, this vibrant area was originally built for the athletes of the 2010 Winter Olympics and has since transformed into a lively residential and commercial community. The stunning backdrops of BC Place and Science World provide a dramatic and quintessentially Vancouver setting for photographs. The stadium's distinctive retractable roof and the geodesic dome of Science World add architectural flair and visual interest, especially when captured during the golden hour or illuminated at night.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The scenic waterfront along the False Creek seawall offers picturesque views and reflections of the city skyline, creating a serene and visually appealing setting for family photos. Olympic Village is dotted with parks, plazas, and public art installations, such as the giant sparrows and the colorful "Salt" piece, providing unique and playful backgrounds. The mix of modern architecture with natural surroundings captures the essence of Vancouver's urban lifestyle amidst nature, making every snapshot feel special and authentic.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Designed with pedestrians and families in mind, Olympic Village is accessible and family-friendly, featuring wide pathways, ample seating areas, and safe, open spaces. The area&rsquo;s beauty changes with the seasons, offering lush greenery and vibrant flowers in the spring and summer, rich fall colors in autumn, and crisp, clean lines against seasonal lights in winter. By exploring different angles and incorporating interactive poses, families can create dynamic and lively photos. A visit to Olympic Village not only results in beautiful images but also offers a slice of peak Vancouver living, blending urban sophistication with natural beauty for lasting family memories.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The University of British Columbia (UBC) is an exceptional location for a photoshoot, offering a diverse array of backdrops that cater to various aesthetic preferences. Built on the scenic Point Grey Peninsula, UBC combines striking urban landmarks with natural beauty, making it a versatile setting for capturing memorable photos. The campus's blend of modern architecture, lush gardens, and stunning views provides an ideal canvas for family and couples sessions</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One of the standout features at UBC is the Rose Garden, which is a favorite spot for photoshoots. This beautifully landscaped garden boasts a variety of vibrant roses and offers panoramic views of the North Shore Mountains and the Strait of Georgia. The meticulously maintained garden beds, elegant pathways, and picturesque pergolas create a romantic and serene environment, perfect for portraits and candid shots alike. Whether in full bloom during the summer or blanketed in snow during the winter, the Rose Garden provides a stunning, ever-changing backdrop.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition to the Rose Garden, UBC's urban landmarks offer unique photo opportunities. The iconic Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, with its striking glass facade, and the modern Beaty Biodiversity Museum, featuring the awe-inspiring blue whale skeleton, provide dramatic and visually interesting settings. The university's impressive architecture, such as the contemporary design of the Nest student union building and the historical charm of the Main Mall, adds a sophisticated and scholarly touch to photos.</p>

<h1><a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/VjPzi3HucoB3d3zP8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Whytecliff Park, North Vancouver</a></h1>
<h2>Ideal for: Couples only</h2>
<h2>Ideal Weather: Clear Skies (Golden Hour) or Cloudy</h2>
<h2>Season: Spring, Summer, Fall</h2>
<h2>Parking: Pay</h2>
<h2>Cons: Far, Challenging, uphill terrain &amp; dependent on tides</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whytecliff Park in West Vancouver is a fantastic spot for couples photography, offering beautiful and intimate settings that make the trek worthwhile. This park features stunning coastal views, rugged cliffs, and lush forests, creating a romantic backdrop that's perfect for capturing special moments. The dramatic coastline, with its rocky outcrops and expansive ocean views, is especially striking during the golden hour, adding a warm, magical glow to your photos.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The terrain at Whytecliff Park can be a bit challenging, with uneven paths and steep sections, but that just adds to the adventure. Couples can be photographed climbing rocks, walking hand-in-hand along scenic trails, or sitting together on a cliff&rsquo;s edge, taking in the breathtaking views. The sense of exploration and discovery makes the photos feel more spontaneous and genuine, capturing the essence of your relationship in a beautiful, natural setting.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The park&rsquo;s tidal conditions offer unique photo opportunities, too. At low tide, you can venture out to Whyte Islet, a small island accessible from the shore, adding a dynamic twist to your shoot. While careful planning is needed to navigate the terrain and tides, the resulting images are well worth the effort. Whytecliff Park's mix of serene and dramatic landscapes creates a perfect backdrop for couples, ensuring you get memorable and stunning photos.</p>

<h1><a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/1KAVn3QEiXcGv24d6">Pitt River Dike, Pitt Meadows</a></h1>
<h2>Ideal for: Couples</h2>
<h2>Ideal Weather: Cloudy</h2>
<h2>Season: Spring, Summer, Fall</h2>
<h2>Parking: Free</h2>
<h2>Cons: Very Far</h2>
<p>The Pitt River Dike Scenic Point in Pitt Meadows is a fantastic location for couples offering a unique and picturesque backdrop that is especially captivating with low-hanging clouds over the mountains. This scenic spot, located along the Pitt River, is known for its expansive views of the surrounding natural beauty, including the majestic mountains, untended fields, and tranquil waters, making it an ideal setting for capturing stunning photographs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One of the standout features of Pitt River Dike Scenic Point is the breathtaking view of the mountains, often shrouded in low-hanging clouds. These clouds create a mystical and ethereal atmosphere, adding depth and drama to the photos. The interplay of light and shadow, as the clouds move and change, can result in truly spectacular and dynamic images. This natural phenomenon provides a one-of-a-kind backdrop that enhances the mood and adds a touch of magic to any photoshoot.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The area&rsquo;s serene and open landscape offers a variety of settings for different types of photos. Whether you're looking to capture the sweeping vistas of the river and mountains, the reflection of the sky in the water, or the vibrant greenery of the surrounding fields, Pitt River Dike Scenic Point has it all. The flat, accessible paths along the dike make it easy to explore different angles and perspectives, ensuring you can find the perfect spot to capture your vision.</p>

<h1>Home</h1>
<h2>Ideal for: Families</h2>
<h2>Ideal Weather: Rainy&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>Season: Anytime, especially winter</h2>
<h2>Cons: Requires large windows &amp; clearing of clutter</h2>
<p>Home photography is an excellent option for those rainy days in Vancouver, offering a cozy and convenient way to capture beautiful images without braving the elements. Vancouver&rsquo;s frequent rainy weather often necessitates indoor activities, making home photography a perfect solution. With a bit of creativity and the right setup, you can create stunning photos that take advantage of natural light from large windows, ensuring your images are bright and vibrant even on the gloomiest days.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Large windows are key to successful home photography, as they allow ample natural light to flood the space, creating a soft and flattering illumination. This kind of lighting is ideal for portraits and family photos, as it helps to eliminate harsh shadows and provides a more even distribution of light. Positioning near the window takes full advantage of this natural light source. If the light is too direct, sheer curtains can help diffuse it, creating a softer glow that's perfect for photography.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Home photography also allows for a more personal and intimate setting, which can add a unique and meaningful touch to your images. You can incorporate elements of your everyday life and personal style into the photos, making them more authentic and special. Whether it&rsquo;s capturing candid moments of family members, documenting cozy indoor activities, or styling a corner of your home for a photo session, the familiar and comfortable environment can help everyone feel more at ease, resulting in natural and relaxed photos. After all, home is where the heart is.</p>

<h1>Studio</h1>
<h2>Ideal for: Families</h2>
<h2>Ideal Weather: Rainy</h2>
<h2>Season: Anytime, especially winter</h2>
<h2>Parking: Depends on Location</h2>
<h2>Cons: Costly</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A studio photoshoot can provide the perfect solution for large group family photos, especially when faced with endless rain in a typical Vancouver winter forecast. Having a controlled indoor environment ensures that the photoshoot can proceed smoothly without any concerns about getting wet or battling unfavorable conditions. Studios offer ample space to accommodate large groups comfortably, with various backdrops, props, and lighting setups available to suit different preferences and themes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Moreover, a studio photoshoot allows for greater flexibility and creativity in capturing memorable family portraits. Without the constraints of weather or location, photographers can focus solely on capturing the essence of the family, experimenting with different poses, compositions, and expressions to create timeless images that reflect the unique dynamics and personalities within the group. Additionally, studios provide a level of privacy and intimacy that may be lacking in outdoor settings, allowing families to relax and enjoy the experience without distractions or interruptions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Furthermore, studio photoshoots offer the convenience of scheduling flexibility, allowing families to book sessions at their convenience regardless of the weather forecast. This ensures that the photoshoot can proceed as planned, avoiding any last-minute cancellations or rescheduling due to inclement weather. With the ability to control every aspect of the shoot, from lighting and background to temperature and ambiance, studios provide an ideal setting for capturing beautiful and memorable family moments, rain or shine.</p>

Best Places for a Photoshoot in Vancouver

<p>Hi, I'm Terence, a professional portrait and event photographer based in Vancouver, BC. I've spent the last decade perfecting my craft. Each click of the shutter, each image captured, has taught me that photography is so much more than just delivering high-quality images. It's about the experience, the connection, and the journey.</p>

<p>Let's take portrait photography for instance. It's not just about snapping hundreds of pictures hoping to get the perfect shot. It's about capturing the essence of a person, their personality, their spirit. It's about making them feel at ease in front of the camera, so their genuine self shines through. When I see a client's face light up as they see themselves through my lens, it's a priceless moment that never gets old.</p>

<p>More than just portraits, I also specialize in photobooths, family photos, and event photography. Each offers a unique opportunity to capture important milestones and memories. A photobooth at a party or event isn't just a fun activity, it's a chance to capture joy, laughter, and maybe even a little silliness. Family photos aren't just about getting everyone together in one image, they are about capturing the love and connection between family members.</p>

<p>When it comes to events, I understand the importance of being in the right place at the right time. Whether it's a wedding, a graduation, or a corporate event, each moment captured is a piece of a larger story. I aim to not just take photos, but to create a visual narrative of these special events, capturing both the big moments and the subtle details.</p>

<p>In my decade behind the camera, I've learned that photography is about more than just taking pictures. It's about creating an experience, building connections, and most importantly, capturing moments that will be cherished for a lifetime. That's why hiring a professional photographer like me is so valuable. It's not just about the images, it's about the story those images tell and the memories they preserve.</p>

<p>When I'm not behind the camera, I'm still living life to the fullest. Whether it's spending time with my better half, Tiffany, dining out with friends, or riding my electric unicycle around the streets of Vancouver, there's always a story to tell. And as your photographer, I can't wait to help you tell yours.</p>

The Value of Professional Portrait Photography: Power of Portraiture

Capturing moments we wish could last forever

Terence and his team took gorgeous portraits at a recent wedding we attended, some of which we use for prints at home today. They take the time to compose each subject carefully, with lots of positivity, which is amazing considering how many people there were!

He has also been super accommodating with our own wedding arrangement with him, after our plans changed several times. Easily the most courteous vendor we have! Thank you :)

Lindsay & Alex

My experience with Terence at Hello There Photography was fantastic. Despite my usual discomfort in front of the camera, Terence made the process stress-free with clear posing instructions and a relaxed atmosphere. The resulting business headshots exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Hello There Photography.

Anastassia Ferdman

We had an amazing photoshoot experience with Hello There Photography. It is not easy to get our little dog Louie to pose for the camera but Terrence and Tiffany chose a beautiful, comfortable location and just knew how to get Louie's attention. Our dog looked like a professional poser by the end of the shoot :) The photos turned out so beautiful! When you work with a photographer you trust, you get wonderful results! Terrence is one of the best photographers we have worked with. Thank you Terrence and Tiffany :)

He makes our whole experience fun and enjoyable every time. The photos always turn out so beautiful and perfect. I’ve recommended him to my friends and they’ve all had nothing but great things to say about him and the photographs. You really get professional and quality service at a reasonable price. We’re definitely sticking with him for our future photo shoots!

Being a photo and videographer myself, I was not easy to please. Hello There Photography (Terence) did an amazing job not just with the photos, but making the whole photo session very comfortable. My fiancée is very hard to pose(first hand experience) and Terence is able to give her very clear yet simple instructions to follow. Big thank you to Terence's wife as well with her keen eye to detail - fixing and or highlighting important details making each and every photo extra special!

Terence and his lovely assistant were nothing short of amazing. They were so thoughtful and had so many extra tidbits of attention to detail. They helped with poses and catching natural moments. My wife who's quite self conscious about having her picture taken was put at ease with their light, fun personalities. I love the epic lighting that Hello There Photography uses. Really happy with our results.

You will find the about page from my existing website between the “” below. You can use this section primarily for tone of voice and style as opposed to content. Make sure that all references to the self are in the first person singular, as I am the only photographer on my team. Please also ensure that there are no references to “our team” or “our photographer”. Instead, all writing should be coming directly from me. I would also like it to be quite down to earth and without lots of fluff and flowery language.
