WINERIES & CIDERIES
Photography for Island wineries and cideries.
A winery's year doesn't fit into one shoot day. The vineyard changes every month, harvest comes and goes in a few weeks, and the release you're planning in March needs images long before the bottles are labelled.
I'm a craft beverage photographer based in the Comox Valley, and I shoot for the people who make things to drink on this Island, from the rows and the orchard to the glass.
THROUGH THE SEASON
A year has more than one shoot in it.
SPRING
Budbreak, pruning, blossom in the orchard. The quiet months are when the landscape looks most like the Island.
SUMMER
Patio season, a busy tasting room, events. The images that bring people up the driveway.
HARVEST
Picking, crush and press. A few weeks a year, and the content people most want to see.
WINTER
Releases, the barrel room, wine club and holiday orders. When the work moves inside, the bottle takes over.
WHAT I SHOOT
Three ways to work together.
01 — BOTTLE & RELEASE PHOTOGRAPHY
New vintages, new labels, a cider in a new can.
Clean product shots for the web store and listing sheets, plus lifestyle images that put the bottle on a table somewhere worth sitting.
- Bottle and label photography
- Range and lineup shots
- Lifestyle and pairing
- Release and wine club campaigns
02 — SEASONAL CONTENT
Shoot days spread across the year, so your feed follows the vineyard instead of running dry in February.
You get a library to post from, and you keep your own voice on the account.
- Seasonal shoot days
- Harvest coverage
- Social-ready crops and formats
- One-off shoots as needed
03 — TASTING ROOM & ON-SITE
The room, the view, and the people pouring.
For your website, your listings, and the places people decide where to spend a Saturday.
- Tasting room and patio
- Barrel room and cellar
- Winemakers, growers and staff
- Events
RECENT WORK
Beaufort Vineyard & Estate Winery
Harvest 2026 in Courtenay: the crew in the rows, the crush, and the barrel room after.
Most of my other work is for distilleries, so if you want to see how I handle a bottle, the Work page is a good place to start.
ON THE ISLAND
Local, and close enough to move with the weather.
I live in the Comox Valley, so the Island isn't a travel day for me. I know the light here in October and in February, and I know what rain does to a shoot schedule. Harvest windows move with the weather, and being close means I can move with them.
I work across Vancouver Island, from the Comox Valley down to the Cowichan Valley and the Saanich Peninsula.
PRICING
Pricing works the same way as the rest of my work: the shoot, and a licence for where the images run. A tasting room refresh for your website needs less than a release campaign does. Tell me what's coming up this year and I'll put a number together.
QUESTIONS
- When should we book harvest?
- As early as you can. Harvest dates depend on the weather, so we pick a window and confirm the day once the fruit is ready.
- Can we use the photos for wine club, print and the web store?
- Yes. The licence covers where the images run, so tell me everything you have in mind and it'll be priced to fit.
- Do you work with cideries too?
- Yes. Orchards, pressing, and the bottle or can. Same job, different fruit.
- Do you travel beyond the Comox Valley?
- Yes. I work across Vancouver Island. Tell me where you are when you get in touch.
Release coming up, or harvest on the horizon?
Tell me what's happening this year and we'll work out what to shoot.
