London Ontario Family Photographer | 3 Different Extended Family Sessions

Today on the blog, I want to share highlights from three different extended family sessions. These shoots are great for families that want to get that elusive large group photo on that one day of the year that everyone is visiting at the same time. It’s also a great time to get a ton of smaller groupings, like adult siblings who haven’t had a photo together since childhood, or all of the cousins together. On top of that, each individual couple/family can have their own mini session with a few photos of their own little crew. These images truly become like a time capsule for these families, and in some instances, go on to provide comfort after loss. I think my favourite part of these shoots is watching grandparents really delight in their grandchildren. It’s always a blast! These three sessions were all very different, with one taking place in a backyard, one in the woods, and one at Civic Gardens. Here are a few highlights from each of these shoots!

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Sarah & Jacob's Civic Gardens Wedding

I loved documenting Sarah and Jacob’s Fall wedding at Civic Gardens. It was still warm enough for a lovely outdoor ceremony on the terrace before heading into the beautiful conservatory for some photos. We also spent some time walking around Springbank Park, which is absolutely stunning in the Fall and makes the perfect backdrop for wedding photos. Here are some favourites from this perfect day!
