Experience
The Wedding
Welcome to my world of wedding photography, where I believe that your photographer is more than just another vendor; they're an essential collaborator in curating the memories of your special day. It's not just about capturing images; it's about capturing the essence of your love story.
Having had the privilege of working with celebrities and high-profile clients, I understand the level of trust people place in me to capture their special day. This trust isn't just about my ability to take great photos; it's about knowing that I'll honor their vision, respect their privacy, and deliver images that exceed their expectations.
I strongly believe that we need to be a good fit for each other for you to be your most comfortable selves in front of the camera. When we spend the day together, I want you to be your true selves, and in order for that to happen, we need to vibe and you need to know what you're in for.
I want your experience to be everything you ever dreamed of. You're not my client and I'm not your vendor, once our journey begins, I consider us friends.

After 13 years of shooting weddings, I'm here to break away from the conventional and dive into more creativity inspired by high fashion magazines and the allure of flash. There's something irresistibly nostalgic and luxurious about it, wouldn't you agree? While I cherish the candid moments that unfold naturally throughout your day, I find myself drawn to the artistry of in-the-moment action shots and the raw beauty of unscripted emotion.
For me, photography is an art form—an expression of love, laughter, and life itself. I've evolved my style to encompass a blend of grainy, moodier black and white images alongside my signature bright, yet true-to-life colors, creating a gallery of memories that is both timeless and contemporary.
These photos should be MEANINGFUL for you for generations to come.
Let's talk about you—my ideal couple. You're not just deeply in love; you're connected on a soulful level. You exude a playful confidence, embracing spontaneity with elegance and grace. You're the embodiment of a love story straight out of the pages of a magazine, craving that perfect blend of candid moments and posed perfection.
As your wedding photographer, I take on more than just a role behind the lens. I become your shadow on the wedding day, capturing not just images but moments of pure joy and emotion. And long after the confetti has settled, I remain a friend for life, cherishing the intimate bond we shared during such a special time.
So, if you're ready for a journey of artistic expression, authenticity, and unforgettable moments, let's create something truly extraordinary together. Because when it comes to your wedding day, nothing less than perfection will do.
MUTUAL CONNECTION
IS KEY TO CREATING BEAUTIFUL ART
So let's discuss what's most important—you. Finding the right fit between us is crucial. If you don't feel I'm "the one" for you, I genuinely believe you should choose another photographer to ensure you have the best possible experience for this significant milestone.
The connection you have with your photographer will impact how you will feel about your photos down the road. I don't want you to ever have the thoughts of "I wish we went with someone else".
MUTUAL CONNECTION
IS KEY TO CREATING BEAUTIFUL ART
"That was so us"
My SignaturE Style
My images are styled with light and natural "true to life", creamy tones. In contrast, my black-and-white's are moody and meticulously curated to evoke deep emotions. I aim to capture your memories so vividly that you'll feel like it was just yesterday. You chose your wedding colours for a reason, and I ensure they are perfectly preserved in your photos.

Frequently Asked Questions
YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS, I'VE GOT ANSWERS
In order to secure your date, I require a 30% retainer at the time of signing your contract. The remaining balance is due at the latest one week before your wedding. I accept all forms of payment including e-transfers, cheques, credit card and cash.
I limit my schedule for quick turn around times and only take on a limited amount of weddings per year. I'm naturally an impatient person and like to think my couples are the same. I don't want you waiting several months to see your images, the maximum amount of time you should expect to get your images back is 6-8 weeks for weddings and 2-3 weeks for your engagement shoot.
HOW MANY IMAGES ARE INCLUDED?
You will receive roughly 60-80 images per hour fully edited. I do not provide RAW files under any circumstance. I promise to never leave out any images that you would want or need.
Is travel extra?
If you need me to travel 30km+ outside of the Kitchener-Waterloo area, I do require a travel fee. If you are a Pearle Weddings couple, your travel fee is included for your wedding, however if you need me to go up to your cottage in Muskoka for your engagement session, there would be a travel fee for that. If you are wondering about destination weddings and elopements, I do require travel and stay to be covered, but I do ask that you reach out as all destination weddings and elopements are different.
WILL YOU PHOTOSHOP US?
I do not alter anything when it comes to your body, the only thing I touch-up is blemishes or things like bruises and scrapes that are only temporary. I am here to make sure you look your best, not change how you look in real life. I believe in promoting body positivity and will also make sure to pose you in a way that is most flattering.
Do you give discounts?
No. I have had people ask in the past if they can get a special discount for a weekday, Sunday or off-season wedding. For me it doesn't matter what time of the year your wedding is, I still put the same amount of work and effort into each and every single one.
Do you offer destination wedding photography?
100% yes!
Special rate if your wedding is at a bucket list destination of mine: Bali, Bahamas, Cabo, Italy, Greece, Spain, Hawaii, Australia, France, Monaco, Fiji, Bora Bora
Do you offer videography?
You may have seen some of my past wedding highlight films, unfortunately I no longer offer this service. As much as I loved making these films, I found this to not be the best for my business, especially during the busy season of the year.
You hire me to be your photographer and that is the craft that I should be focusing on during the most important moments of your life. If video is important to you, I highly suggest hiring a separate videographer. Once booking with me, I provide a list of preferred vendors including videographers I've enjoyed working with in the past.
