Rain absolutely put in overtime for Alyssa & Mike’s wedding day at West Avenue Cider House. We’re talking ALL day, intense rain... but these two never let it steal the joy for a second! Their attitudes were amazing and there were smiles, laughs, and so much excitement all day long. We made the most of the stunning rustic barrel room and the cozy cottage getting ready space, and then the weather finally gave us a tiny break in the evening. We ran outside during the 30-minute rain pause and grabbed a few photos before it started up again. Sometimes wedding days don’t go exactly as planned, but this one was proof that joy always wins! Enjoy your sneak peeks !

Irina & Michael’s engagement session at Gage Park was the perfect reminder that a little rain never hurts anybody! This spring has been so rainy, so we decided to just roll with it, grabbed the clear umbrellas, and made the most of it. Honestly, it ended up being such a fun evening! The tulips and spring flowers were in full bloom and looked so beautiful throughout the park. These two were all smiles the entire time and made my job so easy. Rainy engagement sessions always have such a cozy vibe and I’m kind of obsessed with how these turned out. Can’t wait for their wedding!

Leah & Peter’s wedding at the RBG Rock Garden was such a good one! These two are the kind of couple that make taking photos feel easy - so many laughs, so many candid moments, and just nonstop fun the whole day. Even though it was definitely a hot one, it didn’t slow anyone down and the day was amazing from start to finish. I had such a great time hanging out with these two and capturing all the in-between moments that make a wedding day feel like *them*. enjoy your sneak peeks!!

Stephanie & Jared brought such a great vibe to their engagement session in Toronto!

We explored the areas that they stroll through on the daily as Toronto locals, like St Lawrence Market area and all the surrounding streets! The architecture was doing what it does best, giving us clean lines, texture, and that effortless city feel that just makes for awesome photos!

I love stepping into something a bit outside my usual, especially when couples are down to lean into the movement and energy of the city! It keeps everything feeling real, relaxed, and a little unpredictable in the best way!

Enjoy the images!

M&M’s wedding at Dundurn Castle was such a fun one to be part of! From exploring the beautiful grounds to all the laughs throughout the day, these two made every moment feel effortless to photograph.

Dundurn is always such a stunning Hamilton backdrop, and everything came together perfectly for some timeless photos. We even lucked out with the nicest overcast light for portraits, which made the whole evening even better! So excited to finally share a few sneak peeks from their day!

Isis & Gilmar’s wedding day was such a good one from start to finish. We kicked things off with a beautiful first look at Gage Park Greenhouse, surrounded by lush greenery, then headed to Ancaster Mill for the rest of the celebration. These two brought so much energy, laughter, and constant smiles, it made everything feel effortless. The overcast skies gave us the dreamiest light and those backdrops never miss. So many genuine moments and good times all day long. I loved being a part of it.

Kicking off wedding season with Wendy & Cameron's celebration and wow - what a day! 14 hours, and it was an absolute smash from start to finish. After the ceremony at the church, we headed over to Gage Park Greenhouse for portraits and it delivered as always!

These two were so easygoing and fun the whole day, which made everything flow naturally. I’m so thankful to have been a part of it and can’t wait to be back there again this Saturday for another round with another amazing couple!

Wendy & Cameron - enjoy these sneak peeks!

P&A’s proposal at Dundurn Castle was such a good one!! He popped the question at the iconic lookout with the lake in the background, and even with the wind doing its thing, it still felt so meaningful and so beautiful. Those moments right after a proposal are always the best - all the excitement, happy nerves, and huge smiles. Afterward, we wandered around the grounds and took full advantage of the gorgeous architecture for some stunning just-engaged photos. Between the views, the stonework, and all the sweet in-between moments, this session was such a fun one to capture from start to finish!

Serena & Matthew’s engagement session felt extra special because we got to shoot at Durand Coffee - the spot where they had their very first date! The orange brick, the cozy little corners, and all the cute vibes made it such a perfect place to start. After that, we wandered around the neighbourhood they used to live in and grabbed a few more photos that felt so personal to them. Such a fun, easygoing couple and such a meaningful session all around!

Special thanks to Chris, the owner of , for staying late so we could have the space privately for these two!
