Veronica & Matt: Wedding Photography at Leo Mol Garden

These two lovely humans got married last September at the Leo Mol Garden in Assiniboine Park and with all the colours, the emotions, the poetic words, the partying, it perfectly reflected their relationship & dynamic. When that authenticity comes through visually, it’s even more of a joy to photograph! Veronica and Matt have a connection that is both deep & abundant with love & affection and seeing them together brings me such joy. We had absolutely beautiful weather, combined with the perfect time of year to get those Fall colours, which resulted in such a delightful mood coming through in all their wedding photos. Their reception was held at the Assiniboine Park Conservatory and the speeches were so well spoken followed by such a great dance party – every element of their day was well thought out and I could tell every single one there enjoyed it all! Veronica & Matt, what a joy it’s been to photograph your journey of love, thank you for having me be your wedding photographer! You guys are so adorable!

Loewen Family Photos at Assiniboine Park

These guys had a lot of milestones last month and to celebrate all these special occasions, Corinne planned a family portrait session for the four of them this July. A wedding anniversary, a high-school graduation and a sweet 16 – wow! I couldn’t be happier to take these photos with them and to celebrate with them. Here’s a preview from our lovely evening at the English Garden at Assiniboine Park.

1st Birthday Photos with Desmond

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!

Stephanie + Mitch: Wedding at Leo Mol Garden

Planning an outdoor wedding in Winnipeg in the summer comes with a bit of a gamble – not knowing if it’ll rain or not definitely was on Stephanie & Mitch’s mind, and certainly on mine too. The Leo Mol Garden at Assiniboine Park was booked for their wedding ceremony and thankfully we had a beautiful rain-free day! We started the day with some getting ready photos at the Fort Garry Hotel and the Viscount Gort, and after the ceremony we had a bit more time to use the Leo Mol Garden and English Gardens for family photos and a few wedding party portraits. Stephanie and Mitch reserved a table at Cibo on Waterfront for them and their wedding party and it was such a great way to get fun & relaxed candid photos of their group in the afternoon. We also snuck out for a few more couple portraits along the Red River and I have to say, Stephanie is one adventurous bride! She was always game for hiking through riverside trails no matter how damp or muddy it was – she was fearless! These two are super easy-going, full of love and life and completely dedicated to each other. It was a beautiful thing to see and an even greater honour to be there to photograph their special day. Congratulations you two!

Ashley + Tyson – Winnipeg Wedding Photography

Ashley & Tyson have been waiting for this day for a long time, and to say they were excited for it is an understatement. A tremendous amount of planning and thought have been put into this day and the results definitely show for it. Ashley and Tyson have a deep love for each other and their wedding day celebration had so many details that all pointed to that truth.

The photography came together with a handful of great locations – at home getting ready, a backyard first look, outside the beautiful church where they got married, inside the Hydro Building, outside the Manitoba Legislative Building, down some treed residential streets and even around the Assiniboine Park Pavilion. Ashley had a clear idea of what she wanted and I was so happy to pull it all together for her along with my second photographer.

This couple exudes love, generosity and kindness – they are some of the warmest people ever, and what a treat it was to see them getting married. One of my favourite shots is of them taking a selfie moments after they ran out of the church and hopped in a car to go take portraits alone with me. How adorable! After 2 years of planning this day with them, I’m happy to have seen it all come together and I’m excited to share these photos on my blog. Congratulations you two!
