It was such a honour for me to be able to document my very dear friends’ micro-wedding in Gatineau a couple of years ago. They opted for an intimate city hall ceremony with their nearest and dearest before heading to a charming local brewery for photos and a fun-filled reception. Their wedding was perfectly “them”, and a little rain only added to the day’s charm. Here are a few favourites from that time I played double-duty as a guest and photographer.
Laurel and Ariel had a charming micro-wedding on a windy April day and set aside a window of time to sneak out to the field, just the two of them, for some intimate wedding photos. I love a good windswept hair/veil moment, and this shoot was full of them. Here are some favourites!
I absolutely loved getting to know Rob & Michelle and documenting their gorgeous wedding at West Haven Golf. They were such a joy to work with, and I have such fond memories from this beautiful day. It was so much fun to look back through these images - here are some favourites!
Big thanks to Saleme Fayad - my second shooter & assistant for this day. (Thanks for driving our golf cart and lending our beautiful bride her jacket when we got caught in the rain!)
I cannot even begin to express how much I loved being a part of this day. As part of the amazing HRM Photography Team, Niki is both a pal and an industry colleague, and it was such a huge honour to be asked to photograph her wedding while her HRM family attended as guests. Niki and Tim are so much fun to work with, and their wedding was one for the books. From their early morning outdoor Hindu ceremony (an exciting first for me!) to their indoor reception (complete with an outfit change!) - all on the beautiful Pioneer Village grounds - the whole day was a dream. I have such great memories from this day, and lucky me, it was featured in the Fall/Winter 2019 print edition of The Wedding Ring, so I can flip through the magazine and reminisce whenever I like!

I absolutely loved working with this sweet couple. They just exude kindness, and their entire day was filled with joy and laughter. Their wedding took place on a beautiful farm property, with an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour surrounded by trees and overlooking the pond, followed by a stunning barn reception. We took their engagement photos on this same property, but during the Winter and in the middle of a blizzard! As a result, these two have two totally different sets of images from the same meaningful place. I have such happy memories from this cheerful, laid bak day - here are some favourites!

What a fun-filled day this was! Backyard weddings are always a favourite for me, and Britney and Gavin’s beautiful Stratford backyard wedding was no exception. Gavin is from Australia, and I absolutely loved the fun touches of Australian culture throughout the wedding, ending in the ultimate Canadian/Australian midnight buffet (scroll down to the end to see!). When I think back on this day, one of the things that stands out the most is the amazing live band that had everyone on their feet dancing the night away. It was such a lively party and we had a blast documenting it all! These two are the sweetest and so down-to-earth, and it was a joy to capture this day for them. Here are some favourites!

Paris, Ontario is the most charming little town and made for a stunning backdrop for their wedding photos. The entire day was a dream, from their sweet first look in front of the Arlington Hotel entrance to the wild, vibrant party that closed off the evening. Here are some favourites!
