Here's How It Works -
I am so honoured to be trusted to document these monumental days for couples. And I pour my whole heart and soul into my work, every single day. I am so grateful to be able to document so many unique love stories. Everyone has their own versions of love and romance, and as a photographer, it is my job to capture that in a way that is uniquely and entirely you. Your wedding photos are your heirlooms to future generations. These are the photos that your kids, grandkids, and family will look back on for years to come. Your photography is the one thing you can physically walk away with from your wedding. My objective is to capture your day in a way that you can look back on and be brought right back to the feeling you got when you saw each other for the first time, or when you finally said ‘I do’. I want to capture the love of not only you and your partner, but also of your friends and family. That proud look your Mom gets while doing up your dress, or when your Dad helps you tie your tie properly. The joy on your partner’s face when you realize you are now a married couple!
My Philosophy
I want to get to know you. You individually, and you as a couple. I truly believe to get genuine, stunning photographs there needs to be a connection. Not only between the two of you, but with me as well. I want to be able to know what jokes to tell while we're together to get you two laughing and having a great time. This kind of connection allows me to document you in your essence. I want you to know that this isn’t just a way to fill my calendar. I want to ensure we will both walk away from a session and say “holy crap…let’s do it again”. I want our stomachs to hurt from laughing so hard. I want this to be fun. I will joke, laugh, cry, and be a little weird right alongside you. Let’s bond over our pets, exchange stories…have some margarita’s and talk about life.
Ps. I think I’m a pretty fun third wheel! (But I may attempt to tell some fairly horrible jokes and break into random dancing)
My Approach
I am not a fan of posing people for hours on end. I want your photos to be real. To feel like YOU.
I want you to look back on these moments years from now and say ‘Hell yeah, that’s exactly how I was feeling at that moment.’ I want it to be unposed, natural, and completely true to you. I aim to catch the quirky moments that happen in your everyday life together. Your tickle fights, those sweet almost kisses, just laughing and enjoying life together.
I want it to feel like I’m a super fun third wheel alongside you for this big moment in your life, and want to do anything I can to help your day go smoothly. I want you to be the right fit for me, as much as I want me to be the right fit for you. This is so important because it ensures you get the best photographs, and that we’ll work great together
How I Work
I want you to know you can have the celebration that gives you space to be yourselves and focus on the things that really matter. Marrying your partner, and celebrating in a way that you choose.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by outside opinions, or feel like a traditional wedding day just isn't "for you".
Want a friend, cheerleader, support system, adventure buddy, and photographer all rolled into one to document your wedding day!

Love to get silly and joke around. Not take things too seriously, and like to roll with the punches.

Value a unique and meaningful experience that is centered around you and your partner (and maybe those that you love)

Frequently Asked Questions
Honestly, everyone I know feels this way. I feel this way, even when I’m asking my partner Rory to take photos of me - it feels weird and like there’s some unspoken pressure. But don’t worry at all, the first few minutes will feel weird adjusting, but soon enough you’ll forget the camera is there. Because I love to prioritize getting to know my couples, and ensuring we have a connection - I’ll feel like an old friend, and any nerves about being in front of a camera will fall away.
Hell Yes! I love to travel to document weddings. I offer a 50km radius of travel included from my 3 home bases (PEC, Toronto + Muskoka - travel fees after the 50km radius) and am always down to adventure with you to document your love. I have been lucky enough to travel abroad for weddings in the past, and am always happy to create custom packages for couples. Please reach out for a custom quote!
I don't believe in putting a file limit on a session or a wedding day. I personally deliver a gallery based on what best represents your day. The best estimate I can give is 50-100 images per hour of coverage, so around 400-800 images as a range of what to expect.
I always like to describe my style of photography as "true to life" editing wise. I aim to keep images feeling like it was on your wedding day (but elevated) - bright blue skies, deep green grass, and keeping skin tones accurate (this is really important to me). As for shooting, I like to bring a documentary approach to the day, focusing on those candids outside of the posed family photos we all love and cherish.
At every wedding I have 3 camera bodies on me, I photograph your day with 2. I ensure I have 2 memory cards recording your images in each camera. Once I'm home I start the backup process onto multiple hard drives and the cloud. I keep your memory cards until your final images are delivered. It is really important to me to have backup plans in place to keep your images safe.
I always aim to get your photos to you as fast as possible (I know I'm always impatient to see photos of such a fun day).
For weddings I deliver your gallery within 6-10 weeks of your wedding date, and for sessions 3-6 weeks of your session date.
Please come say hey through my contact form. I'll send some more information your way and we can set up a time to meet (I love meeting couples on a video call to get to know each other). If you're ready to move forward I'll send along a digital contract for all of us to sign, and a retainer to secure your date.
