{Katie & Murray} Niagara on the Lake Wedding

A gorgeous day for a wedding. Niagara on the Lake. A historical church. An intimate dinner. A dress that looks like a million bucks. And a couple that just can't stop smiling at each other.

We photographed Katie & Murray last fall in Muskoka, for their engagement session, and knew instantly that not only was this couple genuinely in love, but that they were really up for anything to get just the right photograph.

Their intimate wedding at the Pillar & Post Inn consisted of 42 people, including us. Surrounded by their closest family & friends, their Niagara on the Lake wedding was more than spectacular.

It was perfect, in every way.

Allison & Andrew's Wedding | Windermere House, Muskoka

A gorgeous day. A historical landmark resort in Muskoka. Loving friends. Excited family. Allison & Andrew.

Allison & Andrew's wedding at Windermere House in Muskoka was amazing in every way. From the moment we arrived, before Allison put on her gorgeous Oscar de la Renta gown, until way after their first dance on the stone porch of Windermere House, their day was nothing short of casual elegance.

Thank you, Andrew & Allison, for inviting me to be part of your gorgeous day in Muskoka!

Katie & Murray's Engagement Session, Muskoka

Katie & Murray are engaged! Although they're having their wedding next summer in Niagara-on-the-Lake, they chose to do their engagement photos in lovely Muskoka. Can you blame them? Not only is Fall in Muskoka beautiful because of the leaves changing, but the weather can be quite dramatic as well! What a great idea for an engagement session. We spent some time in Gravenhurst, then moved up to a few of my favourite nooks in Bracebridge - dodging rain drops all the way!

Congratulations, Katie & Murray! I look forward to your wedding in Niagara-on-the-Lake!

Adam & Jodie's Wedding - Wigamog Inn, Haliburton

This past weekend, I was lucky to be present at not one, but two amazing weddings! I started my busy weekend off in Haliburton, at the Wigamog Inn to photograph Adam & Jodie's wedding. We were blessed with such amazing weather! After an entire summer of rainy or melting hot weddings, I was so relieved to have comfortable sunshine.

Jodie & Adam had such a perfect event, and were so enthusiastic! The canoe photo above is one of my favourite photographs - I was so scared they would float too far away, as they didn't have a paddle!

The Wigamog Inn makes a perfect backdrop for a wedding, and the Fall colours in Haliburton are just starting to appear. Everything made for such a perfect wedding day!

Thank you so much, Jodie & Adam! I'd been looking forward to your wedding all year, and am so blessed to be a part of such a great day. I can't wait until our Trash The Dress session!

How cute is Jodie in this picture?

Yummiest and prettiest looking cupcake tower - you could actually smell the chocolate cupcakes from across the room!

Jan & Doug's Wedding in Muskoka

Jan & Doug were married last Saturday, August 15 at their home in Muskoka. Their wedding was an intimate affair, and such a joy to capture. The day was sweltering hot, with barely any respite, but Jan & Doug and their families were so easy going - even when I asked them to trek through the heat to Wilson's Falls in Bracebridge.

Wilson's Falls in Bracebridge is such a great spot for wedding photos - it's quieter than most places in Muskoka, and the scenery is amazing. If you're in Bracebridge, or Muskoka at all, don't miss out on such a beautiful spot!

The reception, also held at their home, was catered by the amazing Fresh Kutz in Bracebridge. Fresh Kutz is one of my favourite spots to eat when I'm back home, and a long time family favourite. Never tried eating at Fresh Kutz? You're definitely missing out!

Jan and I met this past Spring, during a very difficult family time. I am still blown away by the compassion and professionalism she and the other nurses at South Muskoka Memorial Hospital showed my family and I. Although we didn't meet under the best circumstance, I'm so glad that I was lucky enough to be present at such a happy event in her life later on!

Congratulations, Jan & Doug! Thank you so much for choosing me to be part of your day!
