What a way to say goodbye to your family home, hosting your wedding there…

Mason and John hosted their wedding at Mason’s childhood home. Where she grew up, laughed, and learned how to love. With her parents recently selling the property, they couldn’t imagine a more meaningful place to get married.

From the bridesmaids running a bouquet assembly line in the kitchen, to Mason’s parents, Dawn and Jim, tirelessly transforming the yard into a ceremony space, every corner of the day was filled with care, history, and heart.

A final chapter written the best way possible.

A winter City Hall wedding done perfectly. ❄️

Lauren & Terrence planned their entire wedding in just a couple of months. Trading an engagement session for a “let’s just get married” moment, and honestly… hell yes.

From cozy, Christmas-inspired getting ready moments to a first look at the iconic Royal York, a heartfelt ceremony at Toronto City Hall, and even a private screening at TIFF Lightbox (a perfect nod to their film industry roots), every part of this day felt intentional, personal, and effortlessly cool.

An intimate celebration full of nostalgia, love, and meaning.
So honoured to capture it all 🤍

Last winter, Lauren and Terrence celebrated their love with an intimate and thoughtfully planned wedding day in the heart of Toronto. I say thoughtfully, because every detail of the detail was perfect… but Lauren & Terrence actually planned their wedding in just a couple months! Originally r

What started as a cozy couples session turned into the sweetest surprise 💍

Linda & Aaron originally hired me to capture their time spent up at the amazing .
Little did Linda know that Aaron planned to propose…
We started the shoot cuddled up with their two pups inside the cabin, then made our way to the patio — where Aaron got down on one knee and popped the question.
We then spent the afternoon by the lake, sipping drinks, soaking in the view, and celebrating their beautiful new beginning.
Forever honoured to document memories like these 🥂✨
