London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Emily & John's FireRock Wedding
This was such a beautiful day. Everything from Emily's stunning custom dress by Kaitlyn Mae Bridal to the breathtaking pastel florals to the most amazing first look under a giant tree was just perfection. It was a little chilly on this day, but Emily and John were troopers and went gallivanting around FireRock Golf Club's gorgeous grounds with me despite the wind and cold. These two are the sweetest couple and it was such a treat to work with them. Here are my favourites from their special day!
A very special thank you to Orsolya Gyorgy, my fabulous second shooter!
P.S.: Emily is a photographer too! You can check her work out here.
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Michelle & Tylor's Springbank Park Engagement Session
I absolutely loved Michelle and Tylor's Springbank Park engagement session last Spring. Colour, colour and more COLOUR! From magnolia blooms to cherry blossoms to wildflowers to the greenest grass and willow tree leaves. This session is everything that Spring should be, with a sunset by the water to finish it off. Michelle and Tylor are the cutest, most down to earth couple, and I am so excited for their upcoming Spring wedding. It's always a huge honour to photograph a fellow photographer and I couldn't be more thrilled to document Michelle and Tylor's love story!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Rojin & Omar's Elsie Perrin Engagement Session
These two beautiful people were such a joy to work with last year, from their fun Spring engagement session to their gorgeous UWO wedding, which I can't wait to blog in the next few weeks! We met at Elsie Perrin Williams Estate for their engagement shoot, a location I love because you get a woodsy trail, wooden fence, gorgeous estate property and, in the Spring, a beautiful Magnolia tree all in one place. I just loved this session and am thrilled to be sharing my favourites on the blog today. Enjoy!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Kate & Matt's Fall Engagement Session
Last Fall, I met Matt and Kate in the woods for their engagement session. We chatted about their upcoming Elm Hurst wedding (which was lovely, and I can't wait to blog soon!) and took some photos surrounded by the most vibrant, beautiful Fall colours. Here are some favourites!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Jess and Jason's Intimate Wedding
I've neglected my poor little blog over the past very busy season, but I'm back with a new resolve to get back to sharing my work here, and I'm picking up where I left off - with Jess and Jason's intimate, in-home wedding ceremony. These two set up the loveliest little ceremony in their living room, with their own dining room table adorned with the most gorgeous teapot floral arrangements. We headed to the nearby woods for some intimate couple portraits afterwards and were greeted with the most beautiful golden November light. I just loved this day and am so thrilled to finally be sharing my favourites here on the blog.
Waterloo Ontario Wedding Photographer | Alisha & Kyle's Grey Silo Wedding
I'm so thrilled to finally be blogging Alisha and Kyle's gorgeous Grey Silo wedding. I travelled to Waterloo on one of the coldest October days last year. It was SO cold, but this couple was simply radiant, the wedding details were impeccable and the locations beautiful. Alisha and Kyle made so many great decisions that ensured their photos would be the best they could be - like selecting getting ready locations that were clean, bright and airy, planning a stunning indoor backup location with tons of character and natural light (that we ended up using because of the cold!) and choosing an equally gorgeous outdoor photo location at the perfect time of day (pre-sunset light!). Because they had allotted lots of time for portraits, we weren't stressed for time and they got a ton of photos with so much variety. As far as golf courses go, Grey Silo has one of the nicest, brightest, classiest event rooms I've seen. I love these images so much and am so excited to finally share them here on the blog. Enjoy!
A big thank you to my second shooter and assistant, Orsolya Gyorgy!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Stephanie & Chris' Bellamere Winery Wedding
As a photographer, it's my job to make the most of any situation with a smile, including days where it doesn't rain, it pours. I always try to reassure couples that rain doesn't mean game over, it just means plan B. That said, I also know firsthand what it feels like to be a bride with big plans for an outdoor wedding wake up to rain on her wedding day. When I showed up to Stephanie's hotel room to photograph her getting ready moments, I was expecting a bit of natural disappointment due to the weather. But what I found was a girl who couldn't be more excited to be marrying the love of her life, rain or no rain, and was prepared to embrace this amazing day. Stephanie's positive and bubbly demeanour set the tone for the entire day, and her pure joy was simply contagious. One of my favourite rainy day backups is the use of a greenhouse for portraits. Dry, full of plants and flowers, and lots of natural light. Check, check, check! This time it was Parkway Gardens that came through for us, and I absolutely loved our short but sweet couple shoot there following a beautiful ceremony at Bellamere. The colours were vibrant and Chris and Stephanie, as always, were simply glowing with love for each other.
Photographing this wedding and getting to know Chris and Stephanie and their families was an absolute delight. I'm so excited to share some of my favourites from their wedding day! Enjoy!
A big thank you to my amazing second shooter, Orsolya Gyorgy! xo
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Erin & Steve's Oakville Gold Club Wedding
I had so much fun photographing Erin and Steve's beautiful wedding at the Oakville Golf Club last Fall. Their portrait time coincided with what we photographers refer to as golden hour... That magical 2-hour window before sunset where the light is warm and soft and flattering... as long as it isn't covered up by clouds. When we saw the rainy, overcast skies the day of the wedding, we assumed that golden sunlight we were looking forward to would be very unlikely. However, the sun peeked through at exactly the right moment, and we were able to get some beautiful sun soaked photos after all. Here are my favourite images from Erin and Steve's wonderful wedding day!
As always a huge thank you to my amazing and talented assistant and second shooter Orsolya Gyorgy.
London Ontario Wedding Photography | Chris & Stephanie's Golden Hour Engagement
I met Chris and Stephanie 2 days before their October wedding. This is also when I photographed their engagement session, as they both live in Alberta and would not be coming to Ontario before the actual wedding. With very little time to reschedule in case of rain, we got lucky and enjoyed the most beautiful Fall evening, with that gorgeous golden pre-sunset light in all its glory. I had so much fun with these two. Stephanie and Chris are totally laid back, up for anything (like Chris carrying Stephanie on his back and jumping stones to get to a perfect spot in the middle of a stream) and always laughing. Here are my favourites from their session!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Luke & Sara's Backyard Wedding
One of the best parts of being a photographer is building connections with people over time. The Bogdon Family invited me to their Cambridge, Ontario home to document their family shortly before Luke and Sara got engaged, and I was thrilled to find myself back on their beautiful property the following year for their engagement photos, and again the year after that for their gorgeous backyard wedding. Luke and Sara are just the sweetest, and everything about their day was perfection. Here are my favourites!
Many thanks to my amazing second shooter and assistant, Lea Legg!
