London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Mark & Melanie's Highland Country Club Wedding

I'm so happy to finally be sharing my favourite images from Mark and Melanie's beautiful Highland Country Club wedding. It was a beautiful day filled with so many love-filled moments - my favourite of which had to be when their baby girl Summer walked halfway up the aisle as the cutest little flower girl. Mark met her halfway and scooped her up, and I may or may not have teared up behind my camera. So sweet.

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Lauren & Riley's Grand Bend Beach Engagement Session

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Lauren and Riley's engagement session on a beautiful evening last Summer. We headed to the gorgeous Oakwood Resort (one of my favourite venues! <3 ) where they will be getting married later this year to take some photos on their grounds before heading down to the beach right before sunset. I absolutely loved this session and can't wait to head back to Oakwood for their July wedding. Here are some favourites! (Lauren's hair and makeup by Esteem Artistry)

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Andreea & Ryan's Fernwood Hills / Fanshawe Pioneer Village Wedding

Andreea and Ryan's wedding was so personal, lovely and FUN. They shared an intimate first look under Fernwood Hills' weeping willow before getting married in the woods surrounded by family and friends. After a beautiful portrait session on the Fernwood Hills grounds, Andreea changed back into her fabulous engagement session skull dress and we headed to Fanshawe Pioneer Village for their reception in the barn. This was one of the most fun and relaxed receptions I've photographed. Guests had a blast hanging out and playing handmade lawn games and a food truck served the most amazing (AMAZING) dishes on demand all evening. I'd like to officially suggest that all weddings have food trucks.  These two are the cutest - from Andreea whispering her vows into Ryan's ear, to them sharing high fives all throughout the day. It was truly an joy to get to know them and document this part of their love story. Here are some favourites from their day.

Thank you so much to my fabulous second shooter, Orsolya Gyorgy!

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Everyone looks a good last minute deal!

Trying to determine what my "fully booked" looks like as I navigate life with young children has been a yearly endeavour, and the number of weddings I take on is different every year. I chose to temporarily reduce my availability after my second daughter was born and for the past couple of years, my "fully booked" workload has been less than it was before. Saying 'no' to extra weddings has always been so tough, but I never regret being intentional about family time. That said, my littlest peanut is a bit older now, and this year I've decided to take on a handful more 2017 weddings. I'm offering a last minute booking deal on a very select few dates that I've kept open - spread the word if you have friends who have yet to book their 2017 photographer! xoxo

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Mark & Melanie's Port Stanley Beach Engagement Session

What a beautiful day it was for Mark and Melanie's family engagement session in Port Stanley. I got to meet their sweet girlie Summer and photograph them having fun as a family, as well as some couple shots as they celebrated their engagement. I can't wait to blog their beautiful wedding, but for now here are some favourites from their beach engagement session.

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Claire & Mike's Star Wars Themed Engagement Session

I thought I was coming to shoot a beautiful Spring engagement session, but it turned out I was coming to shoot a beautiful Star Wars themed Spring engagement session. ;) Mike is a die-hard Star Wars fan, and showed up with lightsabers and the cutest little cake toppers. We had a blast exploring the blooms around Springbank Park, and of course, documenting an epic lightsaber battle. Here are some favourites from their session!

London Ontario Photographer | 2016 Favourites

I've been sharing my 2016 favourites on Facebook and Instagram for the last few weeks, and I've loved reminiscing about such a fantastic year of photos. For those who have been following along, you'll notice several images in here that were not featured in my daily favourites posts. But I'm weak and unable to narrow down things I love, so I simply could not exclude some of these images, nor could I keep sharing daily 2016 favourites into the Summer. So here are some of the images that spoke to me the most in 2016 - images that made my heart sing because of the emotion they evoked, or because of the artistic process that went into making them, or because of that golden delicious sunlight I am always chasing, or because I get that feeling when I look at them, that feeling that reminds me that I am so lucky to do what I love, and that makes me want to keep capturing moments and creating art through photographs for as long as I can. <3
