What a year to get married! When Emily and Brad hired me in 2019, we had NO idea what was in store for us in 2020. Luckily everything came together and this incredible couple was able to celebrate their day with all their closest friends and family. The day started off sunny and beautiful and we were able to capture the life that is nearest and dearest to them. From the dairy cows to the tractors, the wheat boutonnières to the camo suspenders, this couple is country through and through. I am so lucky that they chose me to capture their big day, cause I can honestly say I have never had a more supportive couple standing behind me. Since I’ve met Emily and Brad they have been so grateful to have me capture their big day, and been recommending me to everyone- and I can honestly say I am humbled by their referrals and compliments. I am so excited to see the life that they build together, and hope that I can be there to capture many more of their milestones to come.

Thanks again Emily and Brad, it was a blast being there to capture an amazing time in your lives! ❤

Ending the decade at a wedding is something I can’t say I’ve done before- but man oh man, what a way to spend New Years! Surrounded by this amazing couple and their friends and family, everyone rang in the new year with a smile on their face.

This wedding was in itself, the perfect Southampton wedding. Family pictures above the Outlaw, pictures in the downtown core, ceremony and reception at the Highview, and of course, the Nikklaus’,  the family that brought us the lovely Southampton bakery- I was so honoured to be a part of this wedding because I too, have fallen in love with Southampton in so many ways.

This wedding was tough for me- if anyone knows how gorgeous the Highview now looks after they redid the entire thing- they know that it is a dimly lit, fancy (and DELICIOUS) restaurant. So the lighting was a fun new challenge, a long with the space that was very limited- but I am proud of my work, and I think that everyone looked so GOOD, which helped of course!

Monique and Kirk had the most perfect, laid back-yet incredibly detail oriented winter wedding. The weather lightly dusted everything with snow just before to make sure this day was absolutely breathtaking. The bride was beyond stunning, and Kirk and the boys were dressed to the nine in their tuxes.

The class and elegance were to die for, but a bride that wants to get down like a total G to Nate Dogg in her wedding dress and top hat, is a girl after my own heart.

Thanks again Monique and Kirk, for everything- Southampton loves you!

 

 

 

See, the thing with having a fall wedding is- its a hit or miss on the weather, but if its a good day, MAN IS IT GOOD.

Not only are these guys the most fun and hilariously comedic couple- but they are also the most patient, ever. When you have a late fall wedding, you unfortunately get your wedding photos at my maximum wait times, and this couple was so gracious while I plowed through hundreds of Christmas minis- to just hit the deadline to get them their wedding on time. YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THAT MEANS TO ME.

But onto Carly and Derek. Seriously. This couple was so. much. fun. You can see throughout these images how much they are loved, both as individuals, and as a couple. They are the epitome of kind and generous, and I gotta say- I’m hopping on the Carly bandwagon, cause she is one amazing human being.

The day was brilliant, from start to finish- amazing decor, amazing dresses on the bridesmaids, perfect colour co-ordination in every which way and not a detail was missed. (Sure it helps that your family owns Ainsdale golf course) but c’mon- it was TO DIE FOR. I am so lucky to be a part of something that means so much to so many people, and it is the greatest honour that Carly, Derek and their families will look at and cherish these photos for a couple that you just know are each others forever.

Thanks again guys, and congratulations!

Ryan and Sarah are so much fun, my face hurt when I got home that night from all the laughing that went on that day. It was a perfect beautiful, summers day- not too hot, not too cold, and I got to explore homes in my favourite town (Southampton) where Sarah and Ryans family own many houses in the area.

Between the guys joking around, and the girls always being RIGHT there to help out with anything- you can tell this couple has great friends and family that love them very much. This was definitely a wedding that was being waited for, for a long time. I love my Southampton weddings with a passion, and this one was perfection.

Saugeen went all out for their wedding and the decor was gorgeous and the food was on point, as usual. Major props to the golf course for a flawless transition into new management.

Thank you to Ryan and Sarah for having me to capture your big day- you guys were so much fun, and not to mention, stunning. ❤

 

Take your classic farm wedding, with a bit of all girl charisma, and you have Jen and Nicoles simplistic yet fabulous farm wedding, hay bails, wagons, trucks and all. The day was perfect and the temperature was even better. I was crying on MY WAY to this wedding, so you always know its going to be a good one when…

I met up with the girls at Jens, where she put on her immaculate suit and storm trooper socks to give it her own flare. The girls gathered and chatted and laughed about old times and I snuck out to the venue, grabbed some shots and raced to meet Nicole at the wedding ceremony location. The Anderson farm was all done up and looking incredible with many sentimental things scattered throughout. Everyone was joking and laughing and waited for both brides to say “I do.”

We spent lots of time around the farm snapping pictures (and the girls slugging wine out the bottle) I felt like I was with my people. I got to party with a bunch of east coasters as they travelled so far to see their beautiful Nicole marry the love of her life.

Thanks so much girls for everything, and everyone, it was just an all out, wonderful time. ❤

 

Troy and Rebekahs wedding was a beautiful country side vintage type wedding that every girl with great taste, dreams of. I was so happy to visit with so many familiar faces and do pictures on a farm that I once captured in my early career when Rebekahs sister got married years before.

From the caesar bar, to the succulent take-homes, to Rebekahs perfectly fitting crown, this wedding was everything. Thanks again guys for hiring me to capture your special day- your photos are finally finished! Thanks for all your patience as I play constant catch up in the busiest season yet.

Hope you all enjoy! 

Doing weddings for long time friends is always a huge honour. I’ve known Kevin since I was probably around 13 years old- and he’s always been a kind, gentle human being. Meeting his beautiful wife Jacqui was a privilege. Not only did she share a lot of the same traits as Kevin, but they are perfectly matched in their interests, kind hearted nature, (the couple donated any money made for drinks to the Saugeen Rail Trail to give you an idea of the types of people they are) and ability to make others smile.

Their day started off with questionable weather, but of course the sun came shining down in full force on this wonderful couple as they “tied the knot” at the top level of the Saugeen Shores Golf Course. Friends and family congratulated the couple after a humorous, short-and-sweet ceremony, and then I stole the bridal party away to do shots in my new “secret” location at the Golf course that I just LOVE so much. Nothing like a field of flowers with a tree line that hides the sun perfectly. (HELLO photographers dream!)

As the night carried on, we ate, we danced, we laughed and the couple was toasted again and again for being such wonderful friends, and family to everyone in the room.

Thanks again Jacqui and Kevin for having me capture your day. I feel blessed to have been a part of such an amazing time in your lives.

This wedding was so intimate and adorable, I loved every minute of it. Everything about Caitlin and Joel is unique…whether it be their home, or their incredible vision, they both have amazing taste and style, and it showed at this wedding in every way.

The entire wedding was different than a usual wedding..the timeline was like nothing I’ve ever captured before- and I was so grateful to be a part of something so original. We spent the morning at the couples amazing home in Kincardine, did the cutest first-look ever, and then hit the streets to grab pictures of the wedding party (and of course stopping at the bar for everyone to grab a drink mid-day).

The flowers from Pure Bird Blooms were AMAZING. I’m obsessed with Abbys work. It is stunning, and highly recommended to every bride. She is up and coming, and with word of mouth- she will be booked solid for years to come. Caitlins dress was gorgeous, and of course her bridesmaids accompanied her perfectly. The boys were simple, and elegant, and handsome as ever. A small wedding party of only 8, made perfect sense.

Mirwanda Estates is such a beautiful venue. The 150 seating capacity fit snug in the old framework, and the pictures show how close and intimate everything was. Once the hilarious speeches by the best-man and bride and groom were over, everyone hit the dance floor, and partied hard to celebrate such a special couple.

What a dreamy wedding- their day outlined exactly the type of wedding that I would have if I were to get married. Just lovely! But enough about me, check out these beautiful photos of Joel and Kat’s perfect day.
