Fall Family Photos | Mitchell Ontario
The West Perth Wetlands never disappoints with those September sunsets! This gorgeous family was so much fun to work with and the kids just had a blast running around the pond. It’s always such an honour to document families and little ones throughout the years - photos are often something that gets left on the back burner (they’re a bit of a pain to plan, I know!) but it’s so worth it to look back on such a precious time in your lives. Shelby and Jordan are a Stratford-local power couple, running multiple businesses and doing so much for the community!

Summer Camp Wedding | Camp Kintail, Goderich
The first wedding of the 2022 season was an absolute dream! When C & S reached out about their big day, I knew I had to be a part of it - who doesn’t love a camp wedding? Huron County is close to my heart and Camp Kintail provided the best the county has to offer, all in one location. The cabin stay experience, space for activities, community dinner and the most incredible Lake Huron sunset. This unique ceremony location provided such an intimate space - complete with a view of the lake as the backdrop and an exit that was made for a confetti toss! Safe to say this season started off on a beautiful high note!
Fall Family Photos | Kin Park - St. Marys
This lovely bunch has been in front of my camera a few times now! One of my favourite parts of the job will always be witnessing families grow and little ones getting older year after year. With stunning small towns in the area, you don’t have to look far for some beautiful scenery. Kin Park in St. Marys has it all, between the river and the wildlife it provides a similar location to The Flats with a little bit more privacy.
University of Guelph Arboretum | Queer Engagement Session
Between some intense weather and a long drive ahead of us all, this session almost didn’t happen. It poured rain my entire drive there and back, but the skies cleared up just long enough for an incredibly moody forest shoot at the Guelph Arboretum. The three of us showed up in different variations of the same outfit (Blundstones required) and the rest was history! As I’m uploading this session, I’m currently editing their stunning wedding photos nearly a year later so stay tuned for those!
Downtown Winter Elopement | Mississauga, Ontario Weddings
Love knows no distance, and N & A are absolute proof of that! With both sides of the family flying in from the UK and USA, they hosted the most stunning private ceremony in downtown Mississauga. Located on the 12th floor of the Civic Centre, C Banquets provided a cityscape view lighting the ceremony with gorgeous floor to ceiling windows. The cherry on top was the white floral pieces designed by Little Poppy Florals, such an incredible addition to the decor!
Intimate Ontario Summer Wedding | Tavistock Mennonite Church
Surrounded by close family and friends, this stunning wedding day was one to remember. As they got ready at home, J had a gift waiting for C - a wedding portrait with their adorable golden retriever pup, Luna (who also made an appearance for photos)! After a gorgeous ceremony at the Tavistock Mennonite Church, we headed to a friend’s backyard for more photos. And like any good Tavistock wedding, followed it up with dinner at Quehl’s Restaurant and Catering! After rescheduling due to gathering restrictions, this day turned out to be simply magical.
