The details have their own stories. I’m always curious to know about your choice of wine for your wedding reception.🍷

The hugs are a bit tighter and more deeply felt in a priceless sibling moment, when sisters who’ve flown in from another country, walk through the hotel bridal room door, and in a flash, the moment is gone.

In pre-wedding day conversations, I’d been made aware of the importance of having Abby’s sisters present on this special day, so committing to being truly present means having eyes in the back of my head, ears open, and the mindfulness to stop what I’m focused on across the room, and move in for this important candid second.

Unplanned moments like these are the ultimate challenge for a wedding photographer, because it’s only later that the bride might realize what photos she never expected to be so thankful to have.

Thoroughly rewarding. 🧡

Securing the veil and bouquet across the lawn by a sparkling lake, under a perfectly blue late afternoon sky in the month of August.

It’s in these quick understated candid moments of a wedding day that need not be written into the timeline, but play out as valued dedication and support for the newlyweds, equally worth documenting. 🧡

Also, kudos to my 16mm lens…

Allow me to inspire you to embrace the idea of briefly stopping time in your wedding day to allow your photographer to document you, surrounded by your wedding guests in one incredible frame, smiling faces forward and dressed in everyone’s best to honour your love story. Why? Because, how often do

Eugenia & Francis live far from family and many of their dearest forever friends. Knowing this and the fact that everyone flew into town in their honour, made it a very special responsibility for me to document their memory of this special reunion in celebration of love.

The group shot was a big win from chair height and a bit of off camera flash magic! 🖤

I love how some days, everything seems connected, and the universe is aligned, my raison d’être is confirmed in unexpected ways, and I’m reminded of how privileged I am to be a wedding and engagement photographer.

Here’s me in the wild, doing what moves me for beautiful people in love! Lucky me. ♡
