Nicole and Casey!!

Nicole and I have been friends since college and I had the absolute privilege of capturing her and Casey's wedding a few weekends ago! We had rain the day we did their engagement photos so we were really hoping for some great weather for the day of their outdoor wedding, but unfortunately we did see lots of rain again, but it was an awesome day none the less! I was so impressed with how calm Nicole was about it all, not letting it upset her on her day one bit!!
Here are a few of my favorites from the day.



Their daughter Madison made the perfect little flower girl! She looked absolutely adorable and she impressed us all with how well she did all day!



Unfortunately due to rain we weren't able to get the outdoor photos we were hoping for, but we did get a few and this one turned out to be a favorite of mine.

Madison was non stop all night! She started dancing the minute she walked in until she fell asleep near the end of the night. And what a great little dancer she is!



This is one of my absolute favorites! First of all Nicole and Casey had a choreographed first dance, which I love the idea of and they did a fantastic job with! But mostly I think my favorite about this one is Madison watching them! I think it makes the photo more meaningful, love it :)


In the time leading up to the wedding, Nicole gave me ideas of specific photos she wanted to have captured, this was one of them! I'm so glad that Madison did end up crashing near the end of the night so we were able to get this shot for her :) So sweet.


I just have to say, Nicole and Casey and their family and friends sure now how to have a good time! I had a blast capturing them all night on the dance floor! What a great night!





Thanks so much for having me be a part of your special day guys!! I am so happy for you and wish you all the best for years to come!! :)

Jamie and Gracie, Married!

I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding last weekend for a great couple I know. Jamie and Gracie had been together for 15 years already and have a beautiful daughter. Finally their big day had arrived! We were hoping for nice weather for an outdoor ceremony at a gorgeous property, however the ceremony did get moved indoors due to rain. The rain quit in time for Gracie to have her photos outdoors though, which was her main concern! It was a beautiful wedding for a fantastic couple, Gracie looked gorgeous and we had the perfect place for photos thanks to Brian and Jaqua and their amazing home!



















Many thanks to you Jamie and Gracie for letting me share in your special day!! I wish you all the best and many more happy years together!!

I was sorting through some photos from last year and decided to share a coupe interesting captures from my visit to Alberta last summer! We were in Peace River which is a really beautiful place to see! The panoramic was created by splicing 4 different images together, the images were taken from one of the Peace River lookouts and you can see the town to the right in image.

You really do see a lot of deer and wildlife out west. We drove out, the Canadian route, it was long but beautiful and worth the drive. I saw my first moose on the drive out! and many many deer...

Online Viewing

Photos from the Winter Equine Photo Shoot are now up for viewing! The online gallery condenses image sizes therefore making them appear pixelated.
Sorry about this, they don't actually look that way.

Winter Equine Photo Shoot!

When Melissa contacted me about doing some Equine Photos for her, I was immediately excited! We decided we would make it a 4 season project! So last weekend, before all this snow that we got this week, I had the pleasure of working with Melissa to do our Winter Photoshoot. Brant County where we did the photos at didn't really have snow, not as much as I had hoped for anyways, and it wasn't snowing at the time of our shoot which would have been neat, but we did manage to get some great shots! And we both had so much fun meeting all the horses at Simone's.
I want to Thank Simone from Vintage Lane Farm for the use of her BEAUTIFUL farm and horses, as well as the owners of all the great horses that we were able to photograph!! We were able to photograph here for our Summer Session as well and I just love this place!
Melissa is a Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning (FEEL) Instructor and you can learn more about what she does and see more photos from our other shoots at her website: http://www.tailsofwisdom.com/


I used to have a horse that had a forelock like this Halflinger below, Love it :)


I loved both of these two in the below photo a lot! The miniature is absolutely adorable!! and apparently plays with the halflinger a lot too... see next photo!






I think my favorite from the day is right here:





I just have to say about the photo below, I LOVE the color of the horse on the left. All of the horses are so beautiful, but the colour of this horse is one that I have not seen before, and although you can't see all of the horse or the mane here, this horse's colour is stunning!






THANK YOU Melissa and Simone for the awesome day!!
