Anna and Steve are tying the knot later this summer, but before the snow melted we made sure to book some time to head out to Beaudry Provincial Park to take some engagement photos. Not only is this a beautiful natural park in a really quiet wooded area just outside of Winnipeg, but it’s also the very location where Steve had proposed to Anna. We hiked through the trails, took some photos and had a great time enjoying the sunny winter day and having great conversations. These two are so cute together and also love to have fun together – can’t wait for their wedding day!

The last time I took photos for Jacqueline and Martin they only had one kid and she was just a baby. Now their family has grown with 3 adorable kids and a baby on the way – all in just over 4 years! Their smiles and zest for life are contagious and I had so much fun following them around to take these candid and somewhat posed family photos for them last week. What a lovely snapshot of such a crazy beautiful time of life – our time flew by and I couldn’t believe how much energy these kids had for photos! Merci Jacqueline et Martin pour la belle séance de photos, c’était un vrai plaisir de vous capturer lors de votre temps à Winnipeg!

It was mid-December and an extreme cold warning had been issued by the weather network – we knew we’d be in for a super cold wedding day but that didn’t stop any of us from fully celebrating with Madison and Matthew on their beautiful wedding day! Yes, we had to cancel all of our outdoor photo plans (except for a quick 2 minute stop outside the Legislative Building!), but nothing else was as warm and romantic as these two lovebirds tying the knot together. Click here to view the slideshow I made for them.

I have to admit, taking photos outside in the cold in a time as unforgiving as our winter in Winnipeg is never anything easy, but I do LOVE my winter photo sessions. There’s something about going out there in the cold, the white, and the quiet of the season. Yes, extra energy and attention is needed, but the results are always so magical. Even on a dark, foggy and gloomy day like the one we had for Ashley and Kyle’s engagement session. We started with a few fun shots at the Forks, but then did most of our photos at Assiniboine Forest. The birch trees seem to stretch on forever and the beauty of the forest is nothing like it.
And these two. Where do I start. They are absolutely lovely to photograph – their love is such a treasure and seeing them together was so heartwarming. Their decision to choose forever together is clear to see that it’s a good one, and it was such an honour to capture it. Here’s a handful of the many images we captured while out in the beautiful wintery landscape that we are lucky to find in our great city!

Breean and Matt just welcomed their first baby into their beautiful home and what a privilege it was to meet her and to photograph all her cuteness! Being only a week old, she was still so tiny and irresistibly cute, and she gave us so many adorable sleep smiles. Charley definitely lights up their world and seeing how beautiful she fits into this family, I had nothing but joy and excitement for the amazing journey they have just begun together. Here’s a little sneak peek at their newborn session in their home last week!
Feb 4, 2017 | Wedding
Jessica and Mike got married on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon in July and every location they chose added so much to the beauty and meaning of their day. It was a true honour to create these images for them all the while documenting the story of their day unfolding before us. The joy and connection they share is so sweet to watch and seeing them so happy was definitely the highlight of the day, not only for me but I’m sure for all their guests too! They kept their day simple, elegant and truly meaningful. Starting with getting ready photos at the historic Fort Garry Hotel, followed by a lovely ceremony at the gorgeous Westminster Church, then on to the Exchange District and City Hall for some wedding portraits, and ending off the wedding celebrations with a super fun reception at St. Charles Country Club. From start to finish, this wedding day was a perfect reflection of these two! Here are some highlights… but make sure you scroll down to the end to see an adorable photo of Jessica dancing with her grandfather!

Well, it’s that time of year again, when the days are so long (yet the sun’s presence is so short), and we’re all tired of the cold and of being cooped up! If you’re in Winnipeg, you know the feeling. Cabin fever. But, I love this time of year because this is when I start planning for my annual Spring mini sessions, and this year I’m excited to partner up with Emily of Feast and Festivities. She’s going to be styling a great scene and will include some great decor pieces from Kate + Norah Co.’s shop. It’s going to be such a great collaboration of creative women, can’t wait!
Mini sessions are short, so for kids, it’s perfect. We’re setting up in one of Winnipeg’s most iconic heritage buildings in the Exchange District where the light and space in there always feels absolutely wonderful for portraits.
To book a spot, send me an e-mail: photo@egabrielle.com
It’s $150 + taxes, includes a 15-minute session, a proofing gallery and 5 high-res edited jpgs of your choice. You also have the option of ordering more photos after the session. It’s open to kids 6 months old and up. Siblings can be included at no additional cost.
The spots are being scooped up faster this year than they have in previous years, so please contact me sooner than later if you’re interested!

As 2016 comes to a close, I look back on all my photo sessions from the past year with joy and a thankful heart. 2016 was my busiest year since I started 9 years ago, and all the hard work was 100% worth it for being able to capture all these moments of love and togetherness. To everyone who asked me to photograph them: thank you from the bottom of my heart, your stories are inspiring and they continue to deepen my love for photography! This is just a small handful of highlights, wish I could include each and every shoot from 2016!
Looking forward to all that 2017 has to offer – happy new year everyone!

I first met Ahlea and Jason earlier this year to chat about their wedding, and I instantly found a connection with them. Such a warm, down-to-earth and lovely couple, I was absolutely thrilled to be their wedding photographer! In the weeks leading to their wedding, the weather got a little cooler and the leaves started changing colours, but their day at PineRidge Hollow was absolutely beautiful. Although it rained exactly during the time they had planned for their outdoor ceremony, it didn’t put a damper on the day. They quickly shifted things indoors, and we still had plenty of time before and after for wedding portraits outside at PineRidge Hollow and also inside Birds Hill Park. I’m such a big fan of this venue – I’ve been there for weddings in the Spring, Summer and Fall, and it never disappoints!
Ahlea and Jason radiate love, and it was such a delight being there to capture the big moments as well as the candid moments that added personality to their day. It was especially fun having their two dogs join us for some portraits! Surrounded by their closest family and friends, these two clearly enjoyed every moment of their day and I couldn’t have been more happy to celebrate with them. Congrats you two!

Celebrating a 1 year birthday is a huge milestone and always such a fun reason for a photo shoot! Desmond and his parents met me at Assiniboine Park in mid-October for this session, and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. Winnipeg has experienced a mild Autumn and we took full advantage of it! With so many bright colours and a relatively “warm” afternoon, there was nothing but fun and laughter with these three. Desmond finished the session with a cupcake and some curious feathered onlookers decided to join in!

Bébé Alexie was a dream to photograph – so many smiles, big eyes and priceless expressions. Her parents are completely infatuated, and it’s easy to see why there’s so much joy and love when being around her! She exudes so much happiness and life and it was so lovely being there to capture her interact with her parents. It was a pleasure doing their maternity photos earlier this year, and such a thrill to finally meet her to take their first official family photos! Félicitations vous deux, elle est si adorable!
Nov 2, 2016 | Wedding
Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Liz and Geordie got married at the Winnipeg Art Gallery last month and what a beautiful day of celebration it was! It was surprisingly mild for late October and we fully embraced it with some outdoor photos at Stephen Juba Park. We then stopped at Stella’s for some drinks and a few candid photos, followed by some wedding couple photos inside the Plug In Gallery building, then on to the WAG for family photos and then they topped it off with their heart-warming wedding ceremony. It was a relatively short wedding day (4 hours of photography coverage) but we documented the most meaningful moments and their wedding collection reflects exactly who they are: fun, genuine and absolutely lovely! It was such a pleasure being there to capture it all!

Planning a wedding in Manitoba is no small feat when you live out of province, but April and Matias had a clear vision of what they wanted and were able to execute it absolutely beautifully! With lots of family and friends traveling from all over the world to come celebrate their wedding, the party certainly did not disappoint. From the decor, to the food, to the beautiful venue and super lively dance floor, this was definitely a fun wedding to attend! It was a true delight taking photos of their wedding, they are such a sweet couple and undoubtedly madly in love. It’s also a huge pleasure being at PineRidge Hollow to photograph weddings there – it’s such a beautiful venue for a ceremony and reception, and just a short drive from Winnipeg. Win win! Congrats you two!

Jul 12, 2016 | Family, Newborn
Shawna and Brad just added a third little kiddo to their family and I was invited into their home to capture all the candid moments that make up their busy yet beautiful and fun life as a family of 5. The two older sisters are excited to have a baby brother, but they were also just as excited to jump on their parents’ bed for a few photos. These guys are absolutely adorable and it’s always such a pleasure taking photos for them!

Jun 8, 2016 | Maternity
Spring is in the air and Isabelle and James are so very close to meeting their first child! We headed out to Waterfront Drive in the Exchange District to take some lovely evening portraits of the two of them and the baby belly. It was well worth the wait – we had to postpone the session twice due to terribly poor weather earlier in May! But finally the bad weather passed and the warmth of the evening sun was glowing.
We spent some time in Stephen Juba Park but also went to the other side of the river to get some view of the setting sun against the Winnipeg city skyline. The river was calm and the mosquitoes weren’t out yet, so it was a win-win!
I look forward to meeting their baby and continuing to document their story through photos. Félicitations vous deux!

Here’s proof why it’s never too late to order your wedding album! Back in the summer of 2011 I photographed Kyla & Darrin’s wedding in Winnipeg’s beautiful All Saints’ Church at the corner of Osborne and Broadway. It was such a perfect ceremony location: romantic & lovely, just like this couple! Their wedding day was elegant, classic and a ton of fun. These two certainly had a strong love bonding them, and together with their friends and family, their day of celebration was a very memorable one. It’s hard to believe this was already 5 years ago!
Their wedding package included a wedding album, but with their busy schedules, it took some time to finalize the album design. Over the years we’ve kept in touch and the album has gotten a couple tweaks, but finally in this past month, the final album layout got their stamp of approval.
A few days ago I had the pleasure of handing over their (very heavy!) 12″x12″ wedding album. It has 40 hard flush-mount pages, a stunning white leather cover and of course, their wedding photos exquisitely printed onto semi-gloss photographic paper. As a photographer, I get so excited to see my photos printed in large scale on such beautiful paper, so I can only imagine how wonderful it must be for them to have this in their home to look at for years to come. This truly is an heirloom album, and I’m thrilled to have these albums in my wedding packages. They are one of a kind! Here are a few snapshots of what their wedding album looks like:

Corin & Jeremy recently built and moved into their new home on the banks of the Red River in St. Boniface, and when the occasion came to host an intimate dinner party for their new neighbourhood friends, Emily of Feast & Festivities was there to design the whole thing. Emily was on hand to create a gorgeous tablescape and several details to go with the industrial jungle theme. Corin & Jeremy took care of the menu planning, and the rest was left up to Emily to pull together. And what a great job she did!
It was such a pleasure being there to capture all the beautiful details and the guests enjoying the whole experience. It’s inspiring seeing Emily do what she does best: creating beautiful elements for memorable occasions that celebrate love, life and togetherness. Having a designer with the passion that she has proved to be such a great asset for this dinner party. Below are some highlights from the evening:

I absolutely love this stage – babies at 6 months of age! Newborn photos and 1 year baby photos are big milestones, but there’s the 6 month mark that’s also such a great time to capture! Especially if your baby is a winter baby and their birthday photos happen to fall on a cold & dreary month, taking half-year photos is a great way to capture their cuteness in a warm & summery setting. Little Odette was all smiles at her session – enjoying cuddles from her parents, eating dandelions and playing in the park. Here’s just a small sampling from the session from a couple of days ago – with more coming soon!

I’ve had the pleasure of taking Matt & Ashley’s photos for several years, and without fail, I always have such a fun time with then! With their newest addition to the family, Jack, we headed out for some new family photos on a beautiful summer evening. It was a blast running around taking photos of them, watching them play and seeing the joy they share in their new dynamics as a family of 4. Here are some highlights from our session:

Adding a 4th kid to a family is no small feat, but Candace and Craig have done it beautifully well, and despite the chaos and crazy, they find time to laugh, play and to be present in the fast-paced moments of family life. I stepped into their home back in February and got a taste of life as parents to four small kids, and it was a blast! Here’s a small collection of what we captured!

Back in March we had a beautiful streak of warm weather so I was glad that Jessy & Peter’s engagement session happen to be scheduled right in the middle of it. We had made plans to start the session indoors at the Fort Garry Hotel and to finish outdoors with Winnipeg’s iconic cityscape in the background. It was the middle of the afternoon, quite balmy with a full bright sun. With the Human Rights Museum in the background, and the last of the ice melt on the Red River, we captured some great photos that were truly “Winnipeg”. Since these two are getting married outside the city, they wanted to incorporate some more urban/Winnipeg locations in their engagement photos.
Jessy & Peter are absolutely lovely to work with and so adorable together! I’m honoured to be their wedding photographer and cannot wait to see what’s in store for their big day. Congratulations you two! See you again in a few months!

Back in March I hosted another round of kids mini sessions, and as always, I got such a great bunch of CUTE kids! The styling by Danielle of Mûr Lifestyle and the florals & garland by Tatiana of Oak & Lily just finished the scene perfectly, and every kid had so much fun playing and reading books. What a delight it is to watch kids at play – each and everyone of them brought such unique personalities and playfulness. Thank you to all who came down, Danielle and I are already talking about planning our next one. Stay tuned for details later this year!

One of the best ways of printing photos for my couples is by designing a guestbook album using their engagement photos. Guestbooks are popular at weddings but traditionally, they’ve been blank pages with space for guests to sign on. As an alternative, making a book that displays engagement photos with blank spaces for guests to write on is such a great idea. Not only do you get to show your engagement photos to all your guests, but you also create a book that holds two very special memories: your own photos and all the personal messages you received on your wedding day. Below is a guestbook I made for Jocelyne & Paul’s wedding. It’s an 8.5″ x 11″ lay-flat hard-cover book with 20 pages. It includes 50 photos and a custom photo cover. Ready for the guestbook table at their ceremony & reception!

How do you enjoy and display your newborn photos? Geneviève’s parents chose this option: a gorgeous 8×10 white leather bound photo album containing high-quality photographic paper flush mounted onto sturdy pages. This album was crafted with style and simplicity in mind and will last for generations to come. Here’s a preview of their album!

I met up with these two as they were celebrating their recent engagement in Winnipeg. It was a cold winter day, so we started the session indoors at Winnipeg’s beautiful and historic Hamilton Building on Main Street. But a winter photo session wouldn’t be complete without going outdoors in the snow so we then headed to St. Vital Park to capture a few more portraits. Congratulations to these two lovebirds, who will be heading out of country for their wedding in just a few short months!

Stephanie & Mike just added a second little kiddo to their family and to help celebrate the new addition, we all got together for a fun indoor family photo session in the middle of January. We all know how quickly the baby stage goes by, so it was important that we book the session right away and capture some of the unique dynamics a family enjoys when kids are still really young. August was a champ, sporting his fancy bow tie and giving adorable smiles in between a few grumpy spells. Emily is amazing at her job as big sister, giving her baby brother tons of kisses and cuddles throughout the session. I had a lovely time with the four of them and I’m happy that they now have these photos to remember this time in their family journey!

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Jude for a mini newborn session in his home when he was just an 11-day-old newborn. He is the cutest little peanut ever, with his big inquisitive blue eyes and furrowed brows. He also gave us a few sleeping shots including sleep smiles. He just melts my heart! His mom loves sharks, so naturally she wanted one included in the photos. Newborn shark snuggles… what could be cuter?
Christy and Byron started their journey to parenthood in Spring of last year. Unbeknownst to Byron, Christy had found out she was pregnant but decided to wait before telling him the news. First, she wanted to plan a special moment to reveal the news to him. That perfect moment came as a beautiful sunny evening under cherry blossoms with one extra element to it: me and my camera!
And so it happened – Christy finally told him the biggest news ever: they were going to become parents together, and the surprise and joy that I captured on camera is absolutely priceless. They shared in that moment, taking in the news but not fully understanding what it meant until this past January, when Jude was born. They are madly in love with him and I’m seeing it in the way they care for him and gush about him. Jude’s story is just beginning, and it has been a great privilege for me to take photos for them.
Below are some of Jude’s newborn photos, but you can click here to see the photos from Christy’s pregnancy reveal session.

I can’t imagine kicking off 2016 any better than by photographing Sharon + Mark’s wedding celebration yesterday! It was a balmy -2 degrees Celsius in Winnipeg, which made the decision to take outdoor photos with the whole wedding party a no-brainer. The girls looked gorgeous with their fur stoles over their blue dresses and the guys looked great with their beige cardigans and leather suspenders. We had some great indoor locations too: Broadway First Baptist church, the Manitoba Legislative Building, the Millennium Centre on Main Street and finally the Winnipeg Centre Vineyard church for the wedding ceremony. Every last detail was planned out perfectly, including a Café Postal coffee bar, a s’mores station and a romantically lit dinner & dessert buffet. Being their wedding photographer was a real pleasure! Here are some highlights:
