This blog post has been a long, long time coming! I first met Leigh-Anne & Eric at wedding show I did in Wasaga Beach (If I remember correctly?) back in 2019 - what feels like a very long time ago! They were set to be married in 2020 and we hit it off right away and I knew this was going to be an amazing wedding!
Then, 2020. And I know I don't have to tell you how that went down - but needless to say, the wedding was on hold. It was so important to the both of them that they could celebrate with family that they knew they weren't going to have a 10 person wedding 6ft apart. So 2021 it was!...
It has been a long two years without my camera in my hands. There are many days that I really miss photography - so when my sister started planning her wedding, I couldn't imagine not being involved in the photography, at least a little! And we are very lucky to have Bob who graciously donated his time and talent to taking the photos I couldn't.
Madison's day started bright and early at Casino Rama with her bridesmaids and sisters, nieces, mom and soon to be mother in law. We had coffee and laughs while getting our hair and makeup done, and then it was time to start getting dressed. Madisons...
They say rain on your wedding day is lucky - and getting married on the evening before halloween - that has to be lucky. If you have black candles in candelabras and skulls in your flowers - all lucky. Honestly Jade and Joe are the luckiest 2 people out there now that they have each other.
When I arrived at Northbrook Farms, the girls were all piling out to get into the bridal prep area. They were organized and ready to go with lots of laughter and plenty of hugs. Jade looked beautiful in her dress, adorned with accents to remind her of her late father. We did a first look under the covered...
This wedding has been a long time coming - like all weddings planned in 2020 Emily and Liam booked me to photograph their wedding and things turned for the worse when the world shut down. But everything worth doing is worth waiting for, and this wedding was no exception. I could see Liam stealing glances at Emily all day. The world could explode around him, and he wouldn't notice - it was Emily and only Emily.
We met at the Mill in Cobourg and Bob went to take some initial shots of the boys while I went upstairs to the girls prep. The backdrop was stunning and they were all in such great spirits,...
On the weekend I was honoured to be a guest at the wedding of Stephanie and Calder. This wedding held such a special place in my heart because Stephanie has been around since she was probably 8 or 9, so I've watched her grow up! Holding back the tears was a toughie at this wedding, but I mostly held it together and we got some really beautiful pictures.
The wedding took place at Murphy's Farm and the decor, food and venue were absolutely incredible. Not to mention the desserts. Did I mention the desserts? *Drool*
Look at these two - they're just beautiful. And their family is beautiful - my heart...
In October I met Lynda and Andre for their wedding in Orillia - and what a stunning location! I must have somehow missed posting the blog so I've very late and I apologize but I always say it's better late than never - and I appreciate all my clients and fans for waiting so patiently!
These two were made for each other. I see a lot of romance at weddings so thats not new to me - but to see such absolutely genuine smiles from the beginning to the end - and not just smiles but laughter! They made me feel so welcome, and I loved being a part of their day!
Lynda's dad was a little emotional...
On a day that promised rain Lisa and Scott got married in the warm, filtered sun. We started the day in the firehall where Scott works - prep photos were complete with fun burnout's in the car and boys being boys with the firetruck. The girls prep was surprisingly laid back - Lisa had the kids just wanting to be with her, and she took a few moments to do just that. The backyard ceremony overlooking the hills and valleys below was the most beautiful backdrop and the smiles on the faces of all their loved ones filled my heart.
I'm so happy to have been a part of their day, and I wish them a lifetime...
Some time a couple months ago I got a wonderful message from a beautiful woman I used to work with (previous life before photography, weird, I know!) that she was planning a wedding and couldn't imagine anyone else photographing it but me. I was so honoured and I couldn't wait for the big day! When Jacqui arrived at City Hall I had tears in my eyes - she looked so beautiful!
Caio's family was facetiming during the ceremony so they could watch as well, and it was a beautiful intimate ceremony. And although it was COLD outside, we attempted the lake for some photos and then got very lucky when...
At the end of October, Victoria and Royden tied the knot in a beautiful, love filled ceremony that we were lucky to be a part of! The day started in the church greeting guests, Victoria and Royden shared their personal vows and then hosted a small reception afterwards to greet their guests. There were a lot of smiles and laughs - and some really wonderful moments shared between everyone. Then it was off to Wilkins beach for photos. Victoria and Royden couldn't be more in love - it was almost impossible to get a photo where they weren't kissing each other! During the reception, Victoria's sister...
Katelyn and Ryan tied the knot on a beautiful fall day at the Trillium Resort. The prep photos were stunning in a gorgeous wooden room, and the smiles were abundant. Katelyn looked stunning in her beautiful gown, and Ryan was dashing in his tux - and when he saw her, you couldn't' wipe the smile off his face!
When it came time to take their photos, the chill started to get to them but that didn't stop us from getting gorgeous images - I mean just look at these smiles!
Thank you for having us there for your day, you guys are amazing and I can't wait to see your lives unfold!
