Whistler is a breathtaking destination that draws adventurers, nature enthusiasts, and photographers from around the world. Known for its stunning landscapes, Whistler offers a rich tapestry of locations that are perfect for creating unforgettable photography. As visitors, it’s essential to honor and respect the land and its deep cultural roots, as it lies within the shared territories of the Squamish Nation and Lil’wat Nation.
Brandywine Falls: a touch of Iceland in BC
Brandywine Falls is one of Whistler’s iconic natural wonders, a 70-meter waterfall that plunges dramatically into a canyon below. This location caught my attention because offers countless opportunities to capture outdoor portraits near the fall and in the nearby forest. Whether you’re drawn to the misty atmosphere or the vibrant colors of summer, Brandywine Falls is a dream setting for photographers.
Nairn Falls: where wild river meet tranquility
Located just a short drive from Whistler, Nairn Falls provides a glimpse into nature’s untamed beauty. Although the fall is not ideal for portraits due to accessibility, the surrounding river offers a wealth of possibilities for outdoor photography. The rushing waters, set against a backdrop of rugged rock formations, create a dramatic and raw aesthetic. Nearby, the serene and crystal-clear waters of Lillooet Lake provide a striking contrast to the wild river, offering a tranquil and calming setting for capturing intimate moments.
Iceberg Lake: a hiker’s dream, a photographer’s treasure
Iceberg Lake is a location that will leave you breathless, both from the hike and its awe-inspiring beauty. The journey to the lake is an adventure in itself, beginning with a walk through a deep and enchanting forest. As you ascend, the trail opens into a vibrant meadow crisscrossed by rivers, a place so colorful and alive it feels like a painting. Finally, the hike culminates at Iceberg Lake, where the glacial waters and floating icebergs create a surreal landscape. This spot is a photographer’s dream, offering a variety of settings—from forested trails to open meadows to the stunning lake itself.
