wedding photographer in ottawa toronto & europe
we believe in
the beauty of the imperfect
building an intentional life
the beauty of marriage
honesty and integrity
the value of every individual
Our wedding photography clients believe in the value of wedding photos as a tool for sharing joy and connection with their friends, family (and eventually, maybe even grand-babies), but they also believe that their actual wedding and the celebrations of the vows they’re making to each other is even more important. My work is inspired by postcards of places once visited, the letters written between my parents before they were married, and the tiny gestures of genuine affection that can so easily go unnoticed.
You're likely here because you want a photographer who will capture beautiful, thoughtful images of your wedding day. But you don’t want them to stop there, you also want photos that reflect the true, beautiful story of your day, without the awkward posing part or having your wedding feel more like a photoshoot than a celebration. The kind of images you’ll be itching to display and heart warmed to look back on for many years. If you're searching for a wedding photographer in Ottawa or across Canada or Europe and you like the sounds of my approach, please reach out!

"It was an absolute pleasure and honour to have Sonia capture our special day. She so intentionally connected with us to understand what we wanted--then did it with excellence.
We wanted a memory box of our day in photos and that is exactly what we received. Every time we look through our photos, we re-experience our day and are overwhelmed by the beauty of our photos.
She has an eye for special moments, and she captures beautiful moments that you never want to forget. Very gifted and humble photographer--but an even more beautiful person for intentionally making people feel special."

"THANK YOU! We love our photos so much, they turned out better than we could have ever imagined. Your creative eye is to die for and your ability to observe the true moments throughout the day is impressive.
We will recommend you to everyone we know for wedding photography in the future, and I think I'll be calling on you for a branding shoot within the next year or so.
Thank you for everything throughout the whole planning process and for giving us the gift of real memories to cherish forever!"

"WOW. All we can say is WOW. These are absolutely perfect. There is no other to describe it, you captured our special day so beautifully. Thank you so so much!
It replayed the day just how it happened, and there are just so many emotions that are running through us - the way you captured Caleb's childhood home, our beautiful families, the laughter and joy, and even the dirt on Eric's car.
There is so much beauty and adventure in these photos. We cannot say thank you enough, you are the absolute best! We just can't. It's all so perfect."
"It replayed the day just how it happened."
