Honsberger Estate Wedding – Brittany and Kevin

Weddings

I’ve been keeping some gorgeous 2019 weddings to myself for far too long. Sharing this one at Honsberger Estate Wintery is particularly overdue! When I think back to Brittany and Kevin’s wedding at Honsberger Estate Winery, the very first thing that comes to mind is the incredible sense of family and togetherness you couldn’t help […]

Scarborough Bluffs Engagement Session

Engagements

It has been such a long time since I photographed a Scarborough Bluffs engagement session. This night with Emily and Emmanuel made me want to make it a regular thing! Since so many parts of Toronto are flooded this Spring, shooting on Lake Ontario has been complicated. What is normally a simple walk-on-the-beach has become […]

Planning

The Three Biggest Reasons Why an Engagement Session is Worth The Expense

Planning

I hear it all too often — “engagement sessions are a really hefty investment and we just don’t think that they’re worth the money” As someone who is in the thick of wedding planning herself, I completely understand the struggle of making sure your budget stays under control. Between catering, decor, and floral design, it’s […]

Cottage Engagement Session – Jenny and Steve

Engagements

I feel like one of the most overlooked parts of planning an engagement session is how important choosing a location can be. It’s obviously super important to choose a location that your photographer is confident will photograph well and that reflects their shooting style. What is even more important, though, is choosing a location that […]

Burroughes Building Wedding – Maddy and Paul

Weddings

Finding the right words to talk about the Burroughes Building wedding I’m sharing with you all today feels totally impossible to me. I feel like the term “ideal client” gets tossed around a lot as a business owner. From the very beginning, we’re told by every source imaginable to nail down who that person is; […]

Elora Mill Wedding – Jenny and Cal

Weddings

To say that I am so excited to be sharing an Elora Mill wedding is definitely an understatement. About two weeks after Stephen and I moved to Fergus three years ago, he came home and said something along the lines of “did you know they’re opening a wedding venue around the corner from us?” and […]

Woodland Weddings Inspiration – Hilary and Sky

Weddings

This wedding inspiration was photographed at Woodland Weddings Niagara months ago and there still isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t fawn over these photos. This past year, I decided to finally start offering one-on-one workshops to other photographers. It felt like such a perfect progression for my business, and truthfully, nothing else […]

Elora Wedding Inspiration – Mira and Dane

Weddings

I don’t even think that there are words to express the love I feel for the Elora wedding inspiration! There are few things that speak to my heart the way that flowers in the spring do. Especially the sweet smell of lilacs, which was the jumping point for an entire evening. We set out to […]

Sherwood Inn Engagement Session – Jenna and Brett

Engagements

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Booking clients exclusively through email still freaks me out every single time. Jenna and Brett currently live in New York City for their jobs and ultimately planned their Muskoka wedding at the Sherwood Inn completely abroad. This meant that we didn’t have a chance to […]
