Life is not measured by the number
of breaths we take,
but by the number
of moments
that take our
breath away.

Lisa Petkau

There is an effortless feeling to Lisa Petkau’s photography: a natural playfulness. It’s simply what Lisa inspires and captures through her lens. Whether catching a charming moment between a bride and groom, chronicling the joy of generations gathered for a family portrait, or shooting lifestyle stock images, her photographs narrate delightful stories.

The results are truly photojournalistic. With her subtle, roving eye as the storyteller, Lisa’s photography and wedding photojournalism translate genuine moments into elegant, hip and stylish images.

And she’s a natural. Lisa’s background reflects a lifetime of creative pursuits that include journalism, photojournalism and work in the Canadian film and record industry. Adding to that, she has enjoyed nearly a decade working as a professional photographer in Vancouver. Being behind the lens is Lisa’s passion and a life ambition realized, but it’s the unfolding stories of family and friendship, love and tradition that energize and inspire her everyday work.
