Hi, I'm Paul!
Photographer
My name is Paul Levy. I’m an award winning Tofino based photographer specialising in West Coast wedding wedding photography. With a ‘gentle direction’ style, I'm always looking for the beautiful light that we’re blessed with here.I strive to immerse subjects in nature, while keeping an eye out for those fleeting, genuine, intimate moments. Being local to Tofino, it's so important for me to give your photos a sense of place - with the landscape always playing a character. I also love the rain, so whatever the weather I'll know some of the best spots for us to head to.
Originally from London, England, I settled in Tofino in 2013 after 15 years of gaining experience across 5 continents; living and working in over a dozen countries. As well as weddings, I love to photograph families, pets, couples and milestone events.
I’m fortunate to work with local resorts alongside taking bookings privately. I am proud to be a preferred wedding vendor across Vancouver Island - including the Wickaninnish Inn, Long Beach Lodge, Black Rock Resort, the Tigh-Na-Mara and Oak Bay Beach Hotel. I also work regularly with amazing planners such as Rare Earth Weddings, West Coast Weddings and Elope Tofino.
My approach
 
To put it simply, the truth is good enough. Acting, without making look like acting is super difficult, but the good news is that we don't actually have to 'pretend' anything.
We're not in a studio - we are in this beautiful place.
You haven't just met - so I don't need to give you a backstory or motivation.
With that said, there are pointers I can give you in order to make things efficient, while maintaining a feeling of authenticity. These may change based on who I am with, and that's where experience comes in.
