London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Emily & John's Western University Campus Engagement

I so enjoyed photographing Emily and John's campus engagement. These grounds hold a lot of history for these two, and it was such fun exploring all of the amazing little spots UWO has to offer with them. I loved everything about this session - the gorgeous backdrop, Emily's amazing dress, their adorable pup, and most of all how they make each other laugh. Their chemistry was so special, and I am so excited to be photographing their 2016 wedding! Here are some favourites from the engagement session!

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Christina & Justin's Marconi Club Wedding

It has been so wonderful to blog these photos from Christina and Justin's wedding and relive all of the happy moments that filled this day. Two words to describe this wedding from start to finish: HAPPY and FUN! Christina and Justin had people flying in from all over the world to celebrate their wedding, and it's not hard to see why. These two exude love and joy, and their families were so warm and sweet. I found myself smiling from ear to ear all day long - from their beautiful traditional ceremony at St Peter's Basilica to their relaxed portrait session on the King's College campus (relaxed because they allowed SO much time for photos. No rushing! No stress! And all the photographers said AMEN!), to their beautiful reception at the Marconi Club. There were so many fun moments and sweet traditions that made this day truly unique and meaningful, and it was an absolute pleasure and privilege to document it.

As always a huge thank you to my wonderful and talented second shooter and assistant, Orsolya Gyorgy! xo

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Jim and Michelle's Purple Hill Wedding

Jim and Michelle got married on one of the hottest days of the Summer at the beautiful Purple Hill Country Hall. It was such a fun -  albeit hot and humid! - day. Michelle is a school teacher, and I loved that they chose to use a school bus to transport the wedding party. Such a fun personal touch! Later in the evening, the entire wedding party joined Jim and Michelle on stage with some instruments after being announced in and playing a song for all of the guests. This wedding was full of unique and meaningful details that really reflected who Jim and Michelle are as a couple. Here are some favourites from their day.

As always a big thank you to my wonderful second shooter, Orsolya Gyorgy!

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Jay & Sarah's Stratford Festival Wedding

Oh boy, where to begin with this wedding? It was a dream from start to finish. A beautifully intimate ceremony on a tiny little island nestled in the heart of Stratford. Portraits along the Avon River and a  gorgeous reception in the Stratford Festival, with giant windows letting in rich, creamy pre-sunset light for the dreamiest first dance photos. Oh, and not to mention a sweet and lovely couple that I could photograph for days. I loved this wedding, and I'm so happy to finally be sharing some favourites from this beautiful day!

Many many thanks to the wonderful and talented Orsolya Gyorgy for second shooting and assisting! <3

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Katelyn & Kirk's Beautiful Backyard Garden Wedding

Ok, so it's been a *little while* since my last blog post. This has been a busy Summer/Fall for me, with lots of fabulous weddings and portraits, a new baby to care for and a 4-year-old starting school. It's all been wonderful, but unfortunately I haven't blogged quite as often as I would have liked during that time. With Fall in full swing and my wedding season nearing its end, I'm excited to slowly start blogging again and sharing all of the wonderful people that have been in front of my lens over the past few months. First up - Katelyn and Kirk and their gorgeous backyard garden wedding, full of DIY goodness and thoughtful touches. Everything about this day was perfection, from the first look on a secluded tree-lined path to portraits under a massive willow tree, to a ceremony in the most amazing backyard garden and a first dance under twinkle lights. I told you it was perfect. :)

Many thanks to the lovely and talented Priya McHardie for assisting and second shooting for this wedding!

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Ryan & Deanna's Museum London Wedding

It doesn't get much sweeter than these two! I absolutely loved getting to know Ryan and Deanna and photographing their gorgeous wedding. The fact that they are first and foremost the best of friends really shines through, and the love surrounding them on both sides is truly beautiful (like, try-not-to-cry-during-speeches-cause-you're-just-the-photographer-beautiful). Here are some of my favourites from their special day. <3

As usual, thank you so much to my fabulous second shooter, Orsolya Gyorgy!

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Jay and Sarah's Wortley Village Engagement

When I first "met" Jay and Sarah via Skype I was immediately struck by how kind and genuine they were, and I so hoped that I would be given the honour of shooting their wedding. Lucky me, that wedding is coming up this weekend and I couldn't be more excited! We explored Wortley Village at sunset for their engagement session and had so much fun. Scroll down and check out their adorable dog. Melt my heart! <3

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Alisha & Kyle's Arva Flour Mill Engagement Session

I had so much fun with Alisha and Kyle as we explored the grounds of the Arva Flour Mill at sunset. These two are seriously adorable and I can't wait to shoot their upcoming wedding! Here are some favourites from their session.

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Joslyn & Rory's Engagement

I was so thrilled for these two when they contacted me about shooting their engagement session. I photographed their sweet little family at the beach a year prior, and couldn't wait to see them again! Rory and Joslyn are adorable and hilarious, and we had a blast exploring the woods at sunset, taking in the breathtaking Autumn colours all around us. Here are my favourites from our session!

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Emily and Chris' Whistle Bear Golf Club Wedding

On my way home from shooting this incredible wedding, I thought to myself: I cannot wait to blog this wedding! Emily and Chris are one of a kind, truly. From the moment I met them at a crowded Starbucks to discuss wedding plans I fell in love with their authenticity, optimism and kindness. Their engagement session was positively dreamy, and their wedding was absolutely wonderful. There are so many things that made this day so special and memorable. The Fall scenery at Whistle Bear Golf Club was breathtaking and the crisp air perfection. Emily shared a first look with her dad, something I've never seen done before, and it was so moving to capture. Emily and Chris' first look was so positively happy and giddy, just overflowing with genuine emotion. Emily repeating to Chris "Just smell the air, look around, take it in, we need to remember this moment!" is one of my favourite memories from their wedding. Emily and Chris both lost their moms, and they found so many lovely ways to honour their memory and celebrate them throughout the day. It was just a beautiful, loving, joyful day from beginning to end, and to say it was an honour to document it would be a huge understatement! Emily and Chris, I admire the two of you so much and am so happy for you as you start your new life together. Wishing you nothing but the best moving forward!

A big thank you to my fabulous second shooter Lea Legg!
