London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Niki & Tim's Pioneer Village Wedding

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!

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Jane & Matt's Rustic Barn Wedding

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!

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Catherine & Martin's Elise Perrin Williams Estate Wedding

I have so many fond memories from this day. Catherine and Martin were a dream to work with, and their beautiful outdoor wedding was one for the books. I know I say that a lot, but I can’t help it - I have had the good fortune of regularly working with such kind, easy going and lovely people - just like these two. Catherine and Martin got married on a gorgeous June day at Else Perrin Williams Estate. The trails behind Elsie Perrin are such a beautiful spot for photos, and perfect for a couple who loves to hike together (check out their fun hiking boot photos at the end of the post!). This entire day was so joyful and love-filled, and it was a delight to document. Here are some favourites!

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!

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Emily & Mike's Romantic Wedding in the Woods

I have such incredibly fond memories of this day. I knew Emily and Mike’s wedding would be special just from having photographed their engagement session. These two have such a beautiful connection and are full of life and joy. But when I showed up to their ceremony in the woods, I was blown away. It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of private property weddings with lots of character, but this magical clearing in the woods with the sun streaming in through the trees literally took my breath away. My pal and second-shooter-for-the-day Lea and I looked at each other like, are you kidding me? As if a fairytale-like setting wasn’t enough, their ceremony (and entire day) was full of deeply personal touches. I can still hear Neil Young’s Harvest Moon every time I look at these images. It’s the song Emily’s brother played during Mike and Emily’s ceremony while all of their guests sang along in unison. An enchanted forest acoustic sing-along? Yes PLEASE. This day was one for the books, and I’m so excited to finally be sharing it on the blog.
