muskoka wedding and family photographer

the most important part of your photography experience.

heirloom albums

How many newlyweds do you know who don't have their wedding album before their first wedding anniversary?

What about parents who have a camera roll full of family photos but none printed around their home?

The truth is that printing albums always becomes a chore for you after your gallery is delivered. My job as your photographer is to take away all of the heavy lifting that comes along with printing your memories so that it becomes an exciting end to your time with me and not just another item on your to-do list. 

It all started with my parents.

Back when I was just a newborn, my parents house burned to the ground. In those moments of frantically getting my brother and me to safety and making sure that they salvaged anything that they could, there was only time to grab one thing — their box of photo albums from our childhood and their wedding day.

Those same albums are displayed proudly all over my parents house to this day; some of the pages lovingly torn from over 30 years of our family flipping through them and chatting about how much hair my dad has lost or how my mom's dress was a spitting image of Princess Diana's.

When I think about the weight of my job and the importance of photographing your moments, I don't think of how special it will be for you to have a beautiful social media post. I think of my own memories that are centred around those albums and how important printing your memories will be for your family.

“We can't get over how stunning
this album is!Beyond expectations!We can't wait for our family to see it!"

My love for printed photographs may have stemmed from my parents, but let's be clear, these are not your parents photo albums.

All of my albums are handcrafted in Toronto, Ontario using archival paper that is designed to be passed on to future generations. These albums are of the highest quality and aren't available through any retailer offering direct-to-consumer sales. Featuring stunning debossing, customized vellum overlays, and covers in an array of linen, suede, velvet, and leather fabrics, these albums are truly a piece of artwork on their own.

THE PROCESS

HOW IT WORKS

I expertly craft an album design using the most impactful photos from your wedding or session. This completely removes the chore of you narrowing down photos or struggling with how to best tell your own story.

01

proofing

Your complimentary design is sent to you in a virtual proofing format where you can view it and make note of any changes or additions you may want to have made prior to printing.

02

one-on-one consultation

We'll schedule in a virtual album consult where we can go through the album together. This is where we'll dive into all of the finishings and any ways that we can customize your album to become a sentimental heirloom for generations!

03

final approval

I finalize any changes that we discussed making to your initial design and send them off to you for a final approval.

04

printing and delivery

Your design is submitted to my Toronto based manufacturers to be hand crafted. Once it is completed, it will be sent to my office for a final inspection before being hand delivered to you!

HOW LONG IS THE PROCESS?

On average from the time that your order is placed, it will take 8 weeks for your album to arrive at your doorstep.

This includes the 4 week manufacturing time and can range depending on how long it takes for you to provide me with feedback.

DO YOU SELL PARENT OR GRANDPARENT ALBUMS?

Yes! I offer a discounted rate for duplicate albums that you can gift to family members.

how many photos can I include?

This can vary with each album but on average you can expect your design to include an average of 1.5 to 2 photos per page, meaning a 20 page album would comfortably fit 30-40 photographs.

What is the cost?

My custom albums begin at $700.00 for a 20-page 8x8 design with linen binding.

Please contact me for more detailed pricing.
