M + J

And their fav people.

Their story is so great and one that spans a good chunk of the globe.

So unsurprisingly, their people came from all over. Canada and international.

Everyone showed up and you can tell they are so loved.

A family friend even put together all the florals. She’s very talented for a friend you may say. That’s because she’s a professional. And not only is her work stunning, she was a total ray of sunshine to have around.

Have to admit, I had been to Heritage Park but had never seen it through the eyes of a wedding photographer and those eyes were very pleased.

After hours at the park with this crew was the best. They cocktail hour at the Midway was on point. Everyone had so much fun there was so much to capture. Much more to come.

Really wish the flowers lasted longer but if they did, we wouldn’t have had a blanket of them on the ground to scoop up and turn into magical fairy dust.

So I consider this a win 🌸

First peek at A + C’s wedding 🤍

The rain held off just long enough for us to get couple’s pictures but it poured by the time we got to the trees. Everyone just pulled out umbrellas (that did little to keep us dry) and embraced it.

They also turned into a greeting committee for the rest of the wedding guests since we were completely blocking the road to the parking lot in an attempt at staying under the canopy of tree branches and leaves hoping it would keep us covered. Again, it did little to keep us dry, but it was so worth it, and it was a whole lot of fun waving everyone in!

These two were my first ever set of newborn twins and they were so sweet and sleepy and let me wrap them like the two sweet angels that they are.

Sweet angels who have grown to have huge personalities and are very very busy angels who make me smile so big because it’s all pure joy. How could it not be when they have a best friend for life.

The even brought grandma.

Never know where to start with this family.

They’re amazing.

They will always have a special place in my heart because they were one of the firsts to hire me when I went from I’m doing photography as a side hustle to I’m gonna take the scary leap and do this full time.

Their son was a baby.

A baby.

Seriously, seeing them year after year is a gift.

2026 Grad

(Or cover of Vogue Magazine)

This is such a huge milestone. Congrats 2026 grad for all the hard work. You deserve everything good and amazing and the best party ever to celebrate 👩‍🎓

If you’re curious about the lighting for this one, we met up at 8:30am and the sun was shining bright but super low in the sky which allowed us to shoot in full sun without getting unwanted shadows (only got the good kinds of shadows). Some of the vintage looking photos are shot through a pantyhose (you read correctly) and I bumped my aperture way up to be able to slow my shutter down enough for few motion blur shots. We got all the things and she’s an absolute model 🙌
