Big news! Sabrina and Scott are expecting their first baby! And yes, it’s with that t-shirt that Scott broke the news to their friends. I love these guys – it was a ton of fun to photograph their session, and definitely never a dull moment when I’m with them. Scott has a great sense of humour and Sabrina can’t help but love him for it. They are adorable together and that’s why I’m so excited for them to start a family! Not to mention, Sabrina is a good (old!) friend of mine (dating back to the early 90s!) and it’s been great to see her growing on her journey with Scott, and now growing with a new addition to their beautiful family. Sab – you’re going to make a lovely mom – je suis tellement contente pour vous!
Stay tuned for the newborn photos… she’s only a week away from her due date today!

When Sylvie first told me she had all these ideas and plans for their engagement photo session, I had no idea to what extent she meant until I showed up at our location! Sylvie is a super creative individual who came loaded with ideas, styling and tons of DIY props. I was asked to bring a chair and some stringed lights, and the rest was all ready to go when I arrived. It was great!
We started off with a super romantic table for two with red wine and warm candles… then we had a love equation, a DIY save-the-date banner, chalkboard frames for them to write the qualities they love the most in their partner, a ringette game on the ice, finished off by a DIY save-the-date stencil shadow shot! We even got a sprinkling of winter rain (yeah, I know, unusual for Winnipeg!), which was PERFECT for our last photo. Check it out at the very bottom of this blog post!
I had such a great time with them both – they’re enthusiastic, playful yet completely enamored with each other – so comfortable with the love they share together. It was such a treat being able to photograph their engagement session and I certainly cannot wait for their wedding this summer! Félicitations vous deux!

Welcome to Rachelle and Darryl’s romantic winter wedding in Winnipeg’s own famous Fort Garry Hotel! They put together a small and intimate wedding celebration: elegant, beautiful yet fun with a touch of spontenaeity. They were married in the Vice Regal room surrounded by their immediate family and then we had the run of the hotel to take their wedding portraits. Having one-on-one time with the couple is one of my favourite aspects of wedding photography, and sharing these moments with them was extra special. These two have a kind of harmony that’s rare to find, a harmony that’s uplifting and comfortable. There’s a natural connection that these two share, and it goes beyond words. Their care for the love they have cultivated is evident, and the quiet exchanges between them were beautiful to observe, and much more inspiring to capture on camera.
Congratulations Rachelle and Darryl – may you always grow in that love you celebrated on your wedding day!
