I shot some AMAZING weddings in 2017! Wow! And no matter where the wedding takes place, or who is there, or how fancy or simple it is, every wedding day is filled with love and romance and laughter and fun and that is what's important! My job is to be there to capture all those great moments that happen - not only the "typical" and expected ones like a first kiss, or first dance, or the bride getting her dress on, but all of the in between moments. THOSE moments are what are important - unscripted, unstaged and raw.
2017 was pretty amazing! Now only did I have more weddings than any previous year, I got to shoot at some amazing places such as flying all the way to ICELAND with an amazing couple and their family, and also got to shoot at some great venues like Alton Mill, Cambium Farms, River Run Centre in Guelph, Trillium Resort in Muskoka, the newly renovated Guild Inn Estate and of course my favourite - backyard weddings!
I currently only have a couple dates left for 2018 weddings and elopements. I would LOVE to shoot more initmate weddings and elopements so hit me up with an email here if you want to chat! I am also booking up for 2019, so do not hesitate to email!
Better than all the amazing places and weddings I got to photograph are the PEOPLE I met. Not only the amazing couples, but the friends and family members who welcome me with open arms! It is truly incredible to meet so many people simply by doing something I love!
A big thank you goes out to all the amazing women who assisted me this year also! Kristin Peereboom, Jamie Machin, Samantha King, Shelly Spithoff, Jenny Diaz and Jenn Eggleston. It would not be as fun without you! xo
Here are some of my favourites from 2017 - I had so many that I felt I needed to put them in categories this year!
Starting with THE MORNING OF, and continuing with Emotional Moments, LAUGHTER and JOY, Kids + Pets, SELFIES (because there are sooo many), Bloopers and Funny Moments, Party Time and Sentimental Moments.
I also did not want to keep you in this post forever, so if you are looking for my favourite PORTRAITS of 2017, click here to head over to a separate blog post!
The Morning Of...
(some of my most favourite moments take place the morning of the wedding)
Getting some advice some Grandpa
This is basically what guys do before the wedding...
Helping his nephew get dressed up
Nothing better than getting your makeup done outdoors at a Muskoka cottage!
EMOTIONAL MOMENTS
"First Looks" get me every time. Whether they happen before the ceremony, or walking down the aisle, with the couple, or even with Mom and Dad! Here are some favourties from this year.
I love how all 3 generations are in this photo
SO MUCH JOY AND LAUGHTER
(how do you not smile when you look at these?)
Kids and Pets
(because there were a lot of them this year!)
This little guy's starting his photography business young! Good job little buddy
This little guy would not get off the dancefloor...and almost got knocked out a few times!
The sweetest flower girl
Brides and their pups.....cuuuuute!

Are you ready for it?? OUTTAKES, BLOOPERS and FUNNY MOMENTS
When your bestie flies across an ocean to make sure you look good when making out with your new husband :)
Getting married is very tiring.
It was hot out, okay!?
Note to Brides - Tulle equals mosquito net. Every time.
Grooms are not immune to bug attacks either.
I have no idea what is happening here.
Smoke bomb and umbrella fail.
It was a game to me how many photos I could get of Rob on the phone on his wedding day :) To his defence...the bus full of guests was lost so he was trying to help.
Nothing like getting pelted with rice on your wedding day
Anyone from Nova Scotia will have Sydney Crosby at thier wedding
If you have been married the longest of all the wedding guests, you have to show the couple how to kiss. Its a rule.
When you realize you have been wearing the tag on your dress all day!
Party Time!
Sentimental Moments
First Dances....and Kisses....
