Greenhouse Engagement Photos | Cozyn’s Garden Gallery, Stratford
Looking for unique engagement photos in Stratford? Ditch the typical scenery and embrace the beauty of a local garden center or greenhouse! S & S, a radiant couple with a love story as heartwarming as a springtime bouquet, did just that for their engagement session.
Cranberry Creek | Queer Joy & Dungeons and Dragons
These two had me hooked on their story from the very beginning - I knew it was a perfect match when they told me they wanted to look back at their photos in 10 years and fall in love all over again. Cranberry Creek Gardens provided the most stunning backdrop and gave me the chance to check it off my venue bucket list (the symmetry is a rare find)! Admittedly, I know next to nothing about DnD, but the decor was so personalized and sweet I couldn’t help but document every tiny detail. J & T chose an all star team of vendors and their wedding day was a celebration to remember!
10 Things to Include in Your Flat Lay Kit
You’ve worked on the Pinterest board for years and it’s finally time to put all the planning into action! As photographers, we are focused on documenting every last DIY detail for you, but those gorgeous flat lay photos don’t just appear out of thin air either. I bring my own kit with a few neutral items, but nothing beats pieces of your own decor to perfectly match your colour scheme. Creating a little container of materials for your photographer to work with allows us to create some magic while you enjoy getting ready for the ceremony!
An Intimate Fall Wedding at the Arlington Hotel, Paris | Dominion Telegraph Event Centre
There’s not much more exciting than being asked to photograph the wedding of high school friend! Having already done a few sessions with L & J previously, I was so honoured to receive that email asking me to be their wedding photographer. The Arlington Hotel is a quaint, quirky downtown location - perfect for unique getting ready photos! And conveniently located just across the street, the Telegraph Event Centre (River’s Edge Paris) has an unbeatable view of the Grand River and beautiful exposed brick as the backdrop for your ceremony and reception.
River Valley Golf Course | Family-Centred Summer Wedding
The most stunning mid-June day and the beautiful backdrop of River Valley, it doesn’t get much better than this! While I may be biased any time I document a friend’s wedding, M & J truly pulled of an incredibly fun day for everyone - and the valley provided a breathtaking portrait location on the golf course. Seeing their little ones involved in such an important day was beyond heartwarming (and entertaining too)! Florals: Lyric Flowers, MUA: Ally Sands Beauty, Hair: Darlene Hymers
