This nostalgia loving couple wanted their engagement photos to be captured in a place that’s very meaningful to them, so we shot an in-home engagement session.

In-Home Engagement Session In Their 70’s Home

This wedding quickly became one of my favourite weddings to date because of the beautiful emotions that I was able to witness and capture and the beauty of the scenery and, not to mention, the bride’s style. These two had to postpone their wedding celebrations due to covid, but decided to have a small ceremony […]

Paige and Spencer tied the knot in the beautiful outdoor, backyard style venue, The Clearing, in Shedden, Ontario. The tears began early on in the day with Paige’s first look with her father and definitely didn’t end there.  It had rained earlier in the day and cleared up just in time for the ceremony, but […]

For only having 4 months of engagement to plan this wedding, I would say it was a hit. Leesha’s sister and maid of honour was cuddling with the dog in the morning and tearing up the dance floor in the evening. Her brother and his wife wrote a song about Paul (the groom) making fun of their short engagement and Paul’s great head of hair. All in good fun of course. They were a classy but party-hard kind of bunch, and I can now say I’m a fan of the black bridesmaid dress trend.

We planned this shoot maybe a week before and, I’ll admit, sometimes I’m a bit of a scramble-head. At least, if that was a thing, I would be it. So we drove the hour trek to Hamilton from London, the whole time I’m glancing at the clock thinking “dang, I didn’t think we were that […]

What’s it like to work with Sonia for a wedding? Well hey, that’s a good question and I’m glad you asked. I am aiming to document your wedding, like really document it. I want to get the moments that go unnoticed, like dad washing his glasses in the sink before leaving for the ceremony, or a […]

These two are as sweet as they look. Christie had an overnight shift the night before and only had a few hours of sleep before we had our shoot. What a CHAMP. I am extremely excited for their wedding in October. It’s a morning wedding and we’re eating breakfast foods. Yes, it’s okay to be […]
