London Ontario Wedding Photographer | E + T Intimate Civic Gardens Wedding
I loved documenting Erin and Tyler’s Civic Gardens micro-wedding. From the intimate ceremony on the terrace to the golden hour photos around Springbank Park, this day was absolutely perfect. Perhaps my favourite detail was the hilarious family inside joke that found its way into their wedding, prompting each guest to wear the Groucho Marx glasses that had been left on their seat. I don’t think I’ve ever heard so much laughter during a ceremony! Here are some favourites from this beautiful day.
London Ontario Spring Minis | Blossoms & Studio
It’s the time of year where melting snow leads to dreams of luscious, vibrant blossoms. I’m so looking forward to this year’s spring sessions, particularly the mini sessions I have planned for the month of May: STUDIO SPRING MINIS and BLOOM SPRING MINIS.
The studio sessions will be held at the beautifully styled LR Studios on May 4th, 2025, for those preferring an indoor option still bursting with floral goodness. The bright, neutral parts of the studio will still be available for those wanting a mix of clean and simple as well as the floral set.
The outdoor bloom minis will take place on May 10th, 2025, with whatever happens to be in bloom around that date. The timing for various blossoms varies each year, but I’ve done these with magnolias, lilacs, redbuds, cherry blossoms and crabapple blossoms, and they are always spectacular!
London Ontario Family Photographer | Spring Family & Newborn Session
I loved photographing this beautiful family under the Magnolia tree with their newest addition. The session was equal parts running and playing with baby’s big sisters and cozy newborn snuggles among the blossoms. Here are some favourites!
London Ontario Headshot Photographer | Julie Anne's Spring Lifestyle Branding Session
This lifestyle branding mini session took place among the blossoms in Springbank Park. My gorgeous subject just so happens to be my big sister, so this was extra special for me. Here’s a handful of favourites!
London Ontario Family Photographer | Spring Blossom Extended Family Session
I met up with Julia and JP’s family, as well as Julia’s parents and sister, for a beautiful Spring blossom extended family session. It was a chilly May morning, but the magnolia blossoms were in full bloom. Here are a few favourites from their Springbank Park session.
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Elisa & Scott's Spring Blossom Engagement Session
It was such a joy to work with Elisa and Scott. Their engagement session fell on the sunniest of Spring evenings, and the blossoms were really showing off! Here are some favourites.
London Ontario Family Photographer | Fall Extended Family Session
After several family mini sessions and even a newborn session with this gorgeous family, it was so great to see them again for a 3-generation extended family session surrounded by beautiful Fall colours. Here are some favourites!
London Ontario Photographer | 2019 Spring Blossom Minis
Ahhh, Spring Blossoms. The thing we photographers look forward to and dread, fawn over and despise. We love them, they are gorgeous and make for the dreamiest backdrop. They are also fickle, unpredictable, fragile and in high demand (picture 5 photographers huddling around the same Magnolia tree). But at the end of the day, we just can’t get enough of these beautiful blooms.
Today I’m looking back on last year’s Spring Minis, which coincided with the Magnolia blooms. (They don’t always, sometimes our date coincides with crabapple blossoms or redbuds - also gorgeous!)
I’ll be emailing everyone on my Mini Session Advance Notice List this afternoon (to get on the list, email sophie@rawfootagephotos.com, subject line: Mini Session Advance Notice) with info on the upcoming 2020 Spring Minis. Once the advance notice list gets first dibs, any remaining spots will be released over on the booking page until they are sold out.
It might be -15 degrees and snowy outside today, but Spring is right around the corner, pals! :)
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Sarah & Jacob's Civic Gardens Wedding
I loved documenting Sarah and Jacob’s Fall wedding at Civic Gardens. It was still warm enough for a lovely outdoor ceremony on the terrace before heading into the beautiful conservatory for some photos. We also spent some time walking around Springbank Park, which is absolutely stunning in the Fall and makes the perfect backdrop for wedding photos. Here are some favourites from this perfect day!
