"The best photographers in the business! We've had the pleasure of knowing them for the past three years due to pandemic delays, and they are truly the most kind, professional, and talented people."
-JUSTIN + GAVIN
In preparation for our wedding day, their responsiveness and attention to detail was very much appreciated. They created a list of locations for wedding photos, with back-up plans in case of closures and weather. The grooms, wedding party, and guests all appreciated how organized, respectful, and easy-going the photographers were on the day of. They manage to make everybody feel comfortable while being directive and organized. The photos themselves turned out perfectly – beyond our wildest expectations! They managed to capture the essence of our day, including all the special behind-the-scenes moments, and we can't thank them enough. We highly recommend Isle and Oak Photography for all of your photography needs!
"If you’re reading this, you can stop your search for photographers. Chris and Sam are so talented, kind, patient, up-lifting and wonderful that you will be thrilled with their work!"
We’ve done our engagement, maternity, family and (after 2 years of delays) wedding photos with them and I’ve cried tears of joy every time they have delivered photos they are so amazing. I cannot wait to continue to capture life milestones with them in the years to come.
-David + Lauren
We were very picky in our search looking for the right photographer to shoot our special day. When we found Isle & Oak’s portfolio, we were blown away by their vision and ability to capture such raw and real emotion in their photography!
As soon as we met them, we knew INSTANTLY that they were the ones! The vibe, the connection, conversation and time they took to get to know us so that they can do their best to deliver what we were looking for was everything! They exceeded any and every expectation we could have ever had.
It has now been 5 days since we’ve gotten married, and my husband and I are still in awe of how perfect and magical that day was. Sam and Chris were by our side (not to mention, SO MUCH FUN to work with) and that day truly wouldn’t have been the same without them. They even gave us an early sneak peak to the photos and it had us both in tears again!
Should you be so lucky to have Sam and Chris shoot your wedding or engagement shoot, look no further than Isle & Oak! Their work is unmatched and our love and gratitude for them is immeasurable and eternal! Don’t believe me? Check out some of the magic they captured on our day and from our engagement shoot!!!
"Where do I even begin!!! These two are not just amazing photographers but amazing humans!"
-Tina + Corbin
From answering questions, calming nerves, being mindful of family dynamics to capturing every big and little moment of our wedding! They are the dream team!!!!! They captured every element of our wedding day and we couldn’t be happier!!
"I truly feel that we got SO lucky being able to book these two for our wedding."
-Julia + Colton
Seeing their photos for the first time, we knew that’s exactly what we wanted. The general vibe and aesthetic they create in their photos is unique from most wedding photographers. They embrace that Pacific Northwest vibe while capturing intimate and candid moments. They made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process and really helped give us direction when we needed it. Chris even helped cue me when to walk down the aisle! <3
Aside from being amazing at what they do, they’re also a really good time! We couldn’t have been happier with our decision to have them photograph such a special moment in our lives. And we would love to hire them again in the future. Thank you so much Sam and Chris!
"IIsle & Oak Photography is by far the BEST team we could have ever asked to shoot our special day and engagement session! They truly are like none other."
-Meg + Andy
Chris and Sam (Isle + Oak) are two of the kindest, funniest, and most professional people we worked with for our wedding. They made us feel immediately comfortable during our engagement session and on our wedding day. We knew we could feel at ease with them behind the camera, capturing the most important day of our lives. We knew we loved their editing style from their social media but each time we receive a gallery we are amazed at how phenomenal the photos are. Chris and Sam were great at making us feel confident, stunning, and comfortable during all of our shoots. They also captured all of the candid moments that could have been missed throughout the whole wedding day. We will definitely work with them again in the future!

"They have an amazing energy about them which makes you feel at ease in front of the cameras - especially if you are like us - the opposite of models or knowing angles, & movements!"
-Cristina + Cody
I am beyond happy we chose Isle + Oak to be our wedding photographers. They are kind, creative and managed to capture our relationship perfectly in our photos. My family, friends, keep saying how our sneak peak literally looks like a magazine spread- these two literally have magic cameras that make you look TOO good.
They have an amazing energy about them which makes you feel at ease in front of the cameras - especially if you are like us - the opposite of models or knowing angles, & movements! They seriously go above & beyond - they are available to help you with wedding recommendations and advice well BEYOND the photos. Assistance with bow-ties, bouquet drying and wedding train fluffing just to name a few.
If you really want to feel like royalty, ask them about their packages with Grey House Visual! (if you’ve been considering it, this is your sign to GO FOR IT!) Absolute dream team.
We are IN LOVE with the photos and memories they captured for us this summer. We are so lucky we chose you, Chris + Sam!!
"We thought our wonderful experience with them ended after we bid goodbye to BC. After thinking for awhile, we figured we would ask if the duo would come to us to shoot our wedding in the states. 2 years of a pandemic and many emails later, we were able to pull it off and my gosh was it worth every penny."
-Mark + Caroline
Are you looking for a kind, inclusive photographer duo? Look no further! We first found Chris and Sam on instagram and fell in love with their moody and authentic style. We booked an engagement shoot on a whim while on vacation from the states. They both went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

The day of, Chris and Sam, everyone’s favorite “fake” couple were out getting detail shots, fluffing trains, wrangling groomsmen and even saved the day with a hairdryer. The rain started right after the indoor ceremony but they improvised and still provided amazing shots. They even agreed to go down some dirt roads in a Jeep to take some more adventurous shots.
In short, if you need a photographer, you need Isle+Oak. They were the first vendors we booked and we are so glad it worked out!
"We knew we found the perfect photographers after seeing all their work and meeting with them!"

So if your looking for THE best photography team. Then here they are!!!
Sam and Chris at Isle + Oak photography are brilliant! They have an impeccable eye for framing, details, and use of light. Their professionalism, timeliness, and artistry contributed to making our Pitt Meadows heli-elopement extra special. The pictures exceeded our vision for the day. We enjoyed their calm presence and kindness on our day, both of them made us, a camera-shy couple, at total ease. Thank you a million times over!
-Fiana + Munjal
Chris and Sam at Isle & Oak are not only passionate photographers with an eye for detail, but they are also genuinely kind human beings who are funny and easy to work with.
All our sessions with them have been comfortable and loads of fun. Over the years they’ve become our go-to photographers to capture all our special moments. They have a way of making you feel relaxed in front of the camera and I’m always blown away by the images we get in return.
On the business side of things: great email communication, knowledgeable about the local area and offer lots of tips on where/when to shoot , reliable when it comes to scheduling a session, and are always prepared & on time.
Wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would definitely recommend to friends.

They saw our vision and surpassed our expectations in delivering the most beautiful photos of our wedding day. Having a smaller wedding, photography was one of our biggest expenses but I cannot emphasize how worth it it was for us to have been able to work with these two! On top of delivering such beautiful photos, Sam and Chris knew exactly how to make us comfortable our first time in front of the camera, and were also an amazing help with coordinating everything at the start of the ceremony. Thank you SO MUCH for being a part of our day!!
"We worked with Sam and Chris for our small wedding/elopement on Vancouver Island and we are SO glad we did!"
