When Donna and Al were married in Manitoba 50 years ago, they only had one wedding photo taken. Donna really wanted to have the wedding photo experience, and so for their 50th anniversary, their daughter Kendra hired me to do that job for them! I have to say that seeing people in love after 50 years might be one of my favourite things. These two built such a beautiful life together and it was reflected back to them through all of the smiling faces and the large family that

There is something about the forest that always calls. Something, that no matter how dark the trees may be, or what whispers are heard of the danger, The steps into the darkness always seem worth the risk. The silence of the woods overtakes us and brings peace where once there was unrest.

To start with, most weddings generally consist of 6-7 parts: getting ready, ceremony, formal photos, wedding party photos and reception. Some weddings also i

I love every wedding I photograph, but I especially love the ones that have a great story behind how they found me (haha)! A couple of months ago I made a post in a travel group about buying a sailboat. Alex ended up creeping my Facebook page because of that post and finding this website! So long story short, that is how I ended up in Courtney on Star Wars Day, photographing their beautiful back yard wedding. Both the ceremony and reception were held and homes on the street

I love intimate weddings. And I love the forest. And I love intimate weddings even more when they're in the forest. If I could photograph elopements and intimate weddings in the forest all the time, I would be over the moon. When Darylann and Devin contacted me about their intimate wedding at Englishman River Falls, I knew it was going to be a fantastic day. I wasn't wrong. Everything from the location, to their family, to the love that showed so strong between them was pe
