Why I Love Shooting Sessions at Miracle Beach

One of Vancouver Island’s most magical outdoor locations for photos


As a Comox Valley photographer, I’m constantly inspired by the wild, natural beauty around us—but Miracle Beach will always be one of my all-time favorite places to shoot. Whether I'm working as a portrait photographer, capturing couple photos in the Comox Valley, or creating warm and playful family photography, this location delivers every single time.

Miracle Beach is the perfect blend of everything people love about Vancouver Island: lush moss, vivid greens, light-filled forest trails, a rocky beach, and a gorgeous mountain view across the water. The variety here makes it a dream location for both digital and 35mm film photography—a signature part of my work as a Vancouver Island photographer.

The Forest: Lush, Quiet, and Full of Texture

The forest at Miracle Beach is rich, calming, and full of depth. The bright moss, soft ferns, and towering evergreens create an earthy, Pacific Northwest backdrop that works beautifully for couples, engagement photos in the Comox Valley, and timeless family portraits. The light filters through the trees in a way that instantly elevates every image—especially on 35mm film.

From Forest to Beach in Just a Few Steps

One of the reasons I recommend Miracle Beach to so many families and couples is the easy transition from forest to shoreline. In just a short walk, we reach a rocky beach with sweeping ocean views and mountains in the distance. This spot is perfect for movement, playful moments, and real connection—whether you're a couple celebrating an engagement or a family wanting a relaxed, natural setting.

As a Campbell River photographer as well, this location is perfectly centered for clients from both communities.

A Location That Shines Year-Round

Miracle Beach photographs beautifully in every season. From golden summer light to misty winter mornings, it offers rich greens and natural contrast that look incredible in digital images and 35mm film. No matter the weather, we can create something magical here.

Why I Recommend Miracle Beach to My Clients

As someone who photographs everything from engagement sessions to family photos in the Comox Valley, I love how versatile this location is. We can create cozy, adventurous, romantic, or playful images—all in one session. It feels authentically Vancouver Island and always brings out the best in people.

If you're looking for a location that captures the true spirit of the Island, Miracle Beach is a perfect choice.
