In our opinion, your venue is one investment that shouldn’t be compromised. The venue sets the tone for your events, dictates the feel of the day, and makes a significant impact on your photos—images you’ll cherish for a lifetime and will likely be displayed in your home for many years. We’ve had the privilege of photographing at some truly stunning venues that we believe are well worth the investment.

For a long time, crisp and clean studio images were the go-to in branding photography—and they still have their place. Studio photos offer control, consistency, and polish, which can be perfect for certain brands. But over the last few years, there’s been a noticeable shift. More small businesses are leaning into authentic branding photos that feel more personal, relatable, and real.

After photographing weddings at Le Belvédère over the last few seasons, I can honestly say it’s one of my favourite venues in the Ottawa area. Yes, the view is absolutely stunning, there’s a reason it’s called “Le Belvédère” aka “the view”, but what truly sets it apart is how well they treat everyone — from the couple and their guests to us vendors.

A yellow & blue boys room design with lots of pattern? Yes, please. This is a great space for kids because it’s quite colourful and highly patterned, yet it isn’t overstimulating. It incorporates fun colours and bold patterns in a balanced way, and we love highlighting those thoughtful choices alongside the textures and design elements that bring it all together. No one does children’s spaces quite like Maison Ellie, who also wrote about the design and functionality choices for this project on her website and you can find all the details about this project here.

We recently had the opportunity to do another brand strategist photoshoot, this time with Ashley Izsak, making it our third time working together. Her business focuses on helping brands streamline their customer journey and simplify their path to purchase, so we wanted to create a mix of images that not only highlight her professional side but also give a peek into her personal brand and how it blends with her everyday life. She works from home, where her past life as an interior designer becomes obvious through her well designed rooms, including her brand new office/yoga space, so this is where we did her shoot.

You want engagement photos that truly reflect your story—beautiful, natural, and free from awkward posing. The kind of images that feel like you, capturing your connection without turning your moments into a staged photoshoot. Photos you’ll be excited to look at and share with friends and family, but also to have simply for yourselves.

I’m thrilled to share that my photos have been featured in Ottawa at Home Magazine for the second time! When I first saw this stunning bedroom design in person, I genuinely gasped. It’s beautifully layered with texture, pattern, and gentle hues. I’m also a big fan of the colour blue being incorporated into designs with natural textures, so of course I loved this bedroom. I was honoured to be involved in this modern coastal bedroom project!

Another beautifully redesigned project by Maison Ellie. This soft green & blue playroom makeover creates an inviting space for little ones to play. We focus on showcasing the thoughtful details that bring a space like this to life, emphasizing the time and intentionality it takes to achieve a polished final look.

A great wedding planner can be a significant investment, but I believe they’re worth every penny. Their vendor knowledge helps you find budget-friendly options and cost-saving opportunities all the while they handle negotiations, gather multiple quotes, and help you stick to a reasonable budget. They keep track of expenses, monitor payments, and provide regular updates to keep you on track and so much more.
