Jen & Adam's intimate wedding in Edward Gardens


Jen & Adam were married almost two weeks ago, in Edwards Gardens in Toronto. I met Jen through a good friend of mine, and when Jen mentioned the low-key wedding they wanted to have in Toronto, I was immediately on board!

It may have been an intimate wedding, but it was FULL of emotion! Some weddings definitely have the power to make me say "awwww!", but this one didn't leave a dry eye in the house - including my own.

Edwards Gardens in Toronto is such a gorgeous spot for a wedding. Although it can get quite busy on weekends, there are so many wonderful and enchanting nooks and crannies - I love to explore it. I thoroughly enjoyed spending the afternoon with Jen & Adam, and their families.

Coming soon - a few pictures from their 90's style Much Music video dance reception the next day!

Cindy & Josh - Kitchener Wedding


Cindy & Josh were married July 18, at City Hall in Kitchener. Like most of my weddings this year, the day started off cloudy, and threatened to rain all afternoon. Luckily, it held off! After the wedding ceremony at City Hall, we headed to a couple parks in Kitchener for a tonne of pics! The rain held off, and we had a blast - not only were Cindy & Josh amazing to work with and photograph, but their wedding party was such a great group, with a great sense of humour!

Congratulations, guys! I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon!

Family Portrait Session in Orillia #2!



Another family portrait session in Orillia! This one is a bit different - Julie & Jeff are related to my best friend, and I've been promising them a family portrait session for oh, I don't know, 2 years? A couple weeks ago, we were finally able to do one! Although the day started out cold, gray and rainy, the sun came out in time for our family portrait session at Tudhope Park (AKA Moose Beach for you Orillia locals!).

Julie & Jeff have a gorgeous family - these two boys were so full of character, you can really see their personalities shine through in the pictures!








Family Portrait Sessions make a great gift! I'm quite often in the Orillia area, and would love to spend some time photographing your family!

Trash The Dress in Parry Sound



Samantha and Jeremy had their wedding last Winter in Parry Sound - in the middle of a snow storm! Due to the extreme Winter weather, their wedding photographs were all inside. Samantha was ecstatic to get dressed up again for a Trash The Dress session a couple of weeks ago, and the weather definitely agreed with us! I headed into Parry Sound for some awesome post-wedding Trash The Dress photos, and we had a blast! We started at Tower Hill, and then headed out to Depot Harbour. Parry Sound is such a gorgeous spot in the summer - great for wedding photography, or Trash The Dress pics!










Remember - Trash The Dress sessions make great gifts, for friends or yourself!

Trash The Dress in Barrie


Becky & Graham are an amazing couple! Becky entered the contest on the Sensational Weddings blog for a Trash The Dress session, and we just loved her enthusiasm and attitude! Eve and I were quite excited to head to Barrie to photograph such a great pair.

Trash The Dress sessions are so much fun! They're a great way to get in your dress again, and get the shots you didn't have time for, or were too afraid of getting on your wedding day! As you can see, Trash The Dress sessions don't really trash the dress (unless you want to!)- we just get it a bit wet sometimes, and maybe a bit dirty, but nothing a dry cleaning won't fix!

The four of us spent a few hours touring around Barrie, maximizing our locations - a park to start off, downtown Barrie (where they were setting up a fair!), the old Barrie Train station, and of course, a beach.

Interested in a Trash The Dress session? Contact me! They also make great gifts!

Intimate wedding at The Doctor's House, Kleinburg


Cathy & Tom contacted me just over a month ago, looking for someone to photograph their intimate wedding at The Doctor's House in Kleinburg. I was beyond ecstatic! I love The Doctor's House, and Cathy & Tom were such a great couple - how could I have said no?

Although it rained almost all morning, we still managed to dodge raindrops for a handful of pictures outside. The Doctor's House is located in the village of Kleinburg, and has a small (but amazingly gorgeous) chapel on site, surrounded by a large English style garden. Inside finds a handful of small to medium banquet rooms (with lovely high post and beam ceilings, fireplaces, hardwood floors .. sooooo pretty!) and a restaurant open to the public - with a brunch to die for!

Thank you so much, Cathy & Tom! Although it was a cloudy and rainy day, it was still a beautiful one - congratulations!
