From the moment I met them back in June, the way they talked about their family made me feel like I already knew them. After following them on social media, it was so fun to live vicariously through them with their equestrian competitions (envious), Halloween outfits and school endeavours. They did things “backwards” in their […]

Right from the start, they knew they wanted me to visit their cottage for their engagement session. But it isn’t just a cottage for them. This is a little gem of an Eganville family cottage estate property. Amanda’s great grandparents owned all of this land and as they retired, slowly started to disperse the land […]
The two sweetest people you will ever meet. They give their full heart and soul into everything they do and everyone they meet. Regardless of if they met you a week ago or if they’ve known you since college. That’s what we heard time and time again through the family and friends who spoke so […]
They have been together for ten years and engaged for five. As we heard time and time again from their friends, Heather and Will are the kind of couple that takes their time enjoying life and doesn’t rush into anything too quickly. They spoke the same sentiments over and over again; these two are the […]

Natalie + Brian are married after 12 years since their high school sweetheart days. A moment I myself have been waiting for since I started photographing weddings. I went to high school with Brian.

When I first received Nicole’s email about photographing her wedding, little did I know, she and her twin sister had gone to high school with Max. Ottawa — big city, small town feel.

I made the trip to the lovely city of Kingston, Ontario again for this amazing couple. They wanted a touch of home before their beautiful wedding at Stonefields this coming October. They showed me the cutest courtyard alley and then we moved over to the gorgeous view that is Fort Henry. Their big day is […]
“We did everything backwards,” they told me as I asked about their love story while walking to find the perfect sunlight. Kids, business, house, marriage. Early on in their relationship, Danielle started pouring lots of advice into Neil’s business, which eventually led to them becoming a big family team. As per most of my couples, […]
Our little miss Maddie is four whole months old and we have noticed leaps and bounds in her learning this past month with grabbing onto toys, big smiles and early chuckles. We loved taking the girls to Valley View Little Animal for the first time on Easter Sunday and many walks in the early April […]
A true Ottawa love story. Met for the first time for a skate on the Rideau Canal after swiping right on Tinder. The rest is history. These two have grown so much together and now live together with their adorable pooch, Cooper, who was of course, at the wedding. Courtney + Jake instantly fell in […]
