ABOUT THE Photographer

 

Rooted in the landscapes of the West Coast, Marnie Recker’s photography explores light, movement, and connection. Her work spans portraits, weddings, and fine art, shaped by a deep appreciation for place and story.

Hi, I'm Marnie!

thank-you for visiting my website

Black and white artistic portrait series with soft lighting and natural expressions.

I am a multi-disciplinary artist living in Tofino, a remote surf and tourist town on the west coast of Vancouver Island. I moved here over 20 years ago and have been working as a photographer for 15 years. The open ocean and rainforests are the greatest inspiration in my life. I photograph weddings, elopements, portraits, nature and stories. I'm also a painter, ceramicist and part-time relief lighthouse keeper.


Give me a shout if you'd like to work with me! Available for 2026 wedding and portrait bookings and painting commissions.
