I’m currently updating the blog with my 2023 engagement sessions + weddings! For my most up to date work, please check out my Instagram OR Gallery Page! **
Between engagements, holiday portrait sessions and weddings, my fall seasons are always packed as an Ottawa engagement photographer. Autumn is one of the most-requested times for photo sessions here in Ottawa, and after looking at this Barrhaven engagement session, it is easy to see why! {READ MORE!}
Read MoreWhile getting to know Katie and Matt better during our shoot, I learned that they love to travel, go on walks, and their ideal date or outing is to hit up a patio for a drink (or four!) and then go to a cafe for a coffee. I love the connection they have and definitely resonate with their connection over quality time spent together.
Read MoreThe first year of your marriage goes by in such a blur. Most couples get the typical engagements taken prior to the wedding, and often a bridal/formal shoot or two, then the wedding day, and then that’s it. Your love story doesn’t end after the honeymoon! Documenting your continuing love in an anniversary session is a special way to capture your lasting relationship so you can reflect back years later and remember the happiness of that special time.
Read MoreWe decided on a campsite for Mev and Adam’s engagement photos before they had even chosen a wedding date or venue! Priorities people! These two had their hearts set on an outdoorsy shoot, in Ottawa, and it turned out so beautifully. I love it when my couples make their photos unique and personal! Then, to put the icing on the cake, the session ended up happening on Mev’s birthday. What better reason to get all dressed up and celebrate than engagement photos with the love of your life on your birthday?!
Read MoreLike so many couples this year, Katie and Ron postponed their wedding due to Covid. But, they still wanted to get married, so they eloped! The elopement took place in Nova Scotia where they had a little ceremony on the beach. However, they still wanted to take engagement photos! I love to see how couples have really made the best of a crazy situation, and Ron and Katie are no exception!
Read MoreWould you look at this field of sunflowers?! Talk about a dream location to shoot at! This adorable couple in this amazing sunflower field is Jenn + Scott. They originally wanted to have their session at the experimental farms, but after a little bit of research, we found this sunflower field in Ashton, ON and we all knew we had to shoot here! Oh, we are so glad we did!
Read MoreThis location is just as classic as it gets! It's full of trails, trees, bridges, and so many more hidden gems. Every time I photograph here I found a new treasure that is perfect for a photoshoot <3
Read MoreCan I let you in on a little secret? My session with Krista and Conner was one of my all-time favorites. I know, I’ve said that before. But this time, I literally just had to walk out my back door and into this session. I really love the fields behind my house and I was so glad to be able to shoot a couple there! Ottawa summers are really some kind of magic. We had a beautiful night walking around private, wildflower-filled fields.
Read MoreFrom the moment Chelsea reached out to me, she knew she wanted to have their engagement session at her family cottage on Rideau Lakes. I actually grew up on the Rideau, just a few minutes from her family cottage via boat, so this session was right up my alley! We spent most of our time together down by the lakes on the dock. We all love being by the water so it just made sense!
Read MoreYou know when you have something just SO GOOD that you just * save it *? Nope? Just me? It’s like when you find the PERFECT dress and you just save it for the perfect occasion. Or you find a great marker and save it for your next project. It’s when you save something for SO LONG because youre just waiting for the perfect time to let it shine that you actually never get to wear it/share it. That’s me with Jamie + Cody’s engagement session!! I’m so excited to share another session with these two :)
Read MoreMost people bring champagne to their engagements. Some people bring their puppies. Others bring their friends. Some even bring their kiddos. Well, are you wondering what Jess + Jeff brought? They brought their extremely cute calf (whom I lovingly named Yzma and I really hope it sticks!). This was definitely a first for me.
Read MoreAfter they received their gallery, Amanda sent me this message: ‘It's the first time anyone else except for me has seen Garth in his standup chair so it's very special to see. It was also the third time I got to see him in it so I can't even explain how nice it was to just even hug him. I cried the first two times I saw him in it so I'm glad I was able to hold it together.” It was that stop-in-my-tracks kind of moment where I realized I’m doing so much more than just taking photos.
Read MoreIf there was ever a couple I would want to get locked inside a botanical garden with, it would be these two. Say hello to Marc + Carly. It was quite the adventure doing engagements with this couple, between hiding in boxers behind bushes and getting trapped after hours at our location, and I loved every second of it! {READ MORE}
Read MoreWell hello there, Gaby + Anders! Aren’t they the most adorable couple ever?!? These two love birds said they hit it off right away and that their attraction was instant… and I believe it! I could totally feel such a strong connection between these two during our session. {READ MORE}
Read MoreWhat an adventure this engagement session was! I was lucky enough to get to photograph Kyra + Ryan TWICE! Their first engagement session happened last summer but because of COVID they had to postpone their wedding from 2020 to 2021. Because of that, they decided to celebrate their wedding month with NEW photos together because they wanted to continue celebrating their (now extended….) engagement. {READ MORE}
Read MoreTaylor + Grant had to postpone their 2020 wedding due to COVID. They were very disappointed, obviously, but looked on the bright side and saw it as an opportunity to save more wedding money, meaning they were able to raise their photography budget and hire me! Yay!!
Read MoreEveryone, meet Broc and Brittany! They are some of the kindest, most fun people I’ve had the pleasure of working with! I really loved getting to know them and being able to capture their fun personalities! Truthfully, they made my job so easy. I’m so lucky to work with such awesome clients. Broc and Brittany have such a cute love story! They met at the Heart and Crown in Barrhaven. Brittany says that Broc caught her eye because he was dancing with an older lady while her husband was off dancing. It instantly melted Brittany’s heart!
Read MoreRachel and Brandon are the cutest couple. They are the perfect example of “marry your best friend”! These two have both been competitively drag racing since they were very young (he was 6 when he started and she was 13!) and sort of knew each other off and on through the competitions. During the 2018 racing, they quickly hit it off and fell madly in love with one another.
