It's been awhile!

It’s been a hot minute since I have blogged! I was so caught up last year in the business and bustle of shooting so much that the blog just kind dropped off. Between shooting + working + editing, I did a bad job of catching you all up on the amazing photos I was so lucky to capture.
From backyard weddings, to full on show stoppers; it was a the busiest wedding season I have had personally + professionally. I am not sure if people check out blogs much anymore, but I thought I would do post to show some work, give some behind the scenes and tips/tricks along the way for my peoples.
Starting off with a few gems from Jen + Mike’s Lakeside AirBnB wedding!

First off it was amazing to work with Little Bird Event Co again. Aubyn is incredible at what she does and all the details that made this day special were so special. The location for this sunset was lake side near Sprucewood Shores. This AirBnB hosted their wedding + reception. One thing I tell all my clients is that even though I pose you, you are not stuck in those poses. They are just a guide, a helper. Jenn + Mike ran with it. The random boob + butt grabs and the love they shared just shone through. Using a diffused strobe light in times like these allow for such vibrant colours and help capture the sunset in all its glory. It’s one of my favourite things to capture. It is moments like these that really have been some of my favourite things to capture. Anytime I am shooting a wedding, I find the best spot to take photos in that beautiful sunset + golden hour. I have to say though, these two really stole my heart.

What do you do though if you don’t have a sunset or you are in an urban area?! Can we still get those type photos?
Yes, 100%. With a wedding like Rania + Julien, we were everywhere in a very busy holiday traffic. This didn’t allow for to many photos of them together. They both love outdoors + sunsets but we were in a busy intersection of Vaughn. What do we do?

Let’s go into the road and try to create something unique. 10 minutes later, we had the moment. It was incredible.
One of the things I explain to my clients, simply go with it. Have fun, do crazy things and you will see the results. Their love + joy shines through these photos. Sure it was different. It is a memory that they will have forever. Something I am here to do for everyone of my clients.

Should I post more of this type content for you all? Any other tips or tricks you want to now about? I also have some availability for 2023-24 weddings if you are still looking for someone to capture your day.

Alycia + Travis Wedding - Belle River, ON

It felt amazing to be back behind the lens again. The lockdowns and pandemic has really created havoc with the wedding industry. However, this day was awesome. I love Alycia + Travis’s energy and attitude. They are so much fun. Check out a little bit of their wedding day story below.

Mike + Nicole Farm Wedding - Whitby, ON

I have to say that I have some amazing clients. These two were a blast to shoot. So down to earth and such good people. It is a joy to be a part of their day. With all the Covid lockdowns and changes, they were able to keep it all outside and on a great property no less. It made for such a unique day. One thing 2020 has given us is the chance to retool, rework or reimagine. Mike + Nicole made their day so special in a way that 2020 has made us all value the people and family we love so much more.

2020 has been a wild year. 2021 is looking like the busiest season to come. Let’s all hope for joy like this couple has and for an amazing year.

Happy New year!

Katelyn + Caleb's Engagement shoot - Windsor, ON

It is not often that you get to shoot your flower girls engagement photos! Now I feel old. But I could not have been more joyful to be able to capture the love between Katelyn + Caleb. Their genuine connection is there. It is evident and shows throughout their photos. It was a cold, crazy windy day; but these two brought the heat!

What an incredible time. So excited for their wedding next year.

Getting married in 2021? Almost totally booked! Message asap to confirm your date :)

Justin + Natalie's Engagement shoot - Toronto Island

As much as 2020 has been a rough one, I have been lucky to have been able to shoot with some amazing people. Engagement sessions have been such a great way to connect with couples and get them used to being in front of the lens. Justin + Natalie were so good to work with. They love outdoors and each other. It shows in their shoot.

Such an amazing day. Also, so cold :)
Congrats to Justin + Natalie. Can not wait to celebrate with you two next year.
