Chris & Anne's Port Credit Wedding



It was rainy and cloudy every day in May except for two. One of those days was a Saturday. And that Saturday just happened to be the day of Chris & Anne's Port Credit Wedding. If that's not good luck, I don't know what is.

Anne & I connected from the beginning, and I knew her large wedding was going to be a lot of fun. She was adamant on natural photography - no photoshop tricks or gimmicks! I decided to enlist the help of a second shooter that I rarely get to work with, and who was the first person to ever stress the importance of "getting it right, right from the camera" - my own dad, who's been a professional wedding photographer for over 40 years.

Riding a motorcycle into the reception hall prior to your first dance? That's my kind of kick ass couple. Watching such an amazing couple ride out of the Oasis Convention Centre on their motorcycle was by far one of my all time favourite wedding moments.

Congratulations, Chris & Anne!

{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.

Cayla & Kevin {Parry Sound Wedding Photography}


Bridesmaids in different coloured dresses, each with different flower bouquets. Groomsmen in shorts. A gorgeous wedding ceremony on a barge on Georgian Bay. And a bride in bare feet. Cayla & Kevin definitely kept their wedding day natural, and true to themselves.

This gorgeous couple's wedding took place just north of Parry Sound, at Dillon Cove Marina, owned by Cayla's family. It was a perfect spot! I was worried when I woke up that morning - it was thunderstorms galore. Luckily, it cleared up enough for the ceremony, and pictures in Georgian Bay afterwards. It did rain a bit later, but by that time all guests were safely back on shore, and tucked under tents at the reception on the grass.

Congratulations, Cayla & Kevin! Your day was amazing, and such a lot of fun. I'm so happy to have been a part of it!

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!

Grace & Steve | Vaughan Engagement Session


I love when a couple can laugh together. Be themselves together.

Grace & Steve do all of the above. They didn't care about the rain. They didn't care about the mud or the dirt. They just wanted to spend time together.

We spent a few hours taking pictures in Richmond Hill, touring the large park of Richmond Green. Afterwards, we stopped by one of my favourite spots in the area, and a very easy going Steve & Grace trekked into a soaking wet and muddy field.

I can't wait for your wedding in October! I'm praying the day is slightly sunnier and much more dry then this one was!

Niagara-on-the-Lake Wedding | Carol & Randy


Niagara-on-the-lake. A backyard wedding. A ceremony under a tree. Surrounded by friends & family. Bride & bridesmaids in tuxes. It was beautiful, moving, and uniquely them. As all weddings should be.

Carol & Randy were worried about rain. Instead, we were blessed with insanely blue skies.

I love the sassiness of the girls in tuxes. I love the emotion Carol showed during the ceremony. But most of all, I loved the way Randy looked at Carol - like she's the only woman for him.

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