Lindsey & Tim's Georgian Bay Wedding {sneak peek}


Sometimes, I think I know how a wedding is going to go. I think about the technical stuff, the spots I need to be in, the moments I need to catch, and I'm confidant with my expectations of how things will progress throughout the day.

And then there was Lindsey & Tim's Georgian Bay wedding. I counted on their wedding being gorgeous. I counted on it being in a perfect setting. I counted on it being a good time. I even counted on it being a bit of a challenge for me - grey skies, wind, scheduling boat rides to make sure my second shooter didn't get left behind on an island in Georgian Bay. I counted on loving this wedding.

What I didn't count on was Lindsey. Lindsey, when meeting her a few times prior, was quiet but cheery. Lindsey on the wedding day? Was a force to be reckoned with. A celebrity. A fun loving, big smiling, deep laughing, ear to ear grinning, exploding with happiness woman marrying her best friend. Her joy infected everyone, and spread over the entire day. It was amazing.

Congratulations, Tim & Lindsey! Your Honey Harbour wedding in Georgian Bay was nothing short of amazing.

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!
