Kylie & Cam’s Wedding at PineRidge Hollow

Jul 31, 2017 | Wedding

Last year I drove out to Brandon for Kylie and Cam’s engagement photos, and it ended up being such a fun session to photograph! Their chemistry and zest for life comes through in all their interactions and the true love that they share was clearly evident throughout the entire time. Fast-forward to this year, and their wedding in June encapsulated all of that plus so much more! The love they share was celebrated with such earnestness by all the friends and family that were present at their ceremony and reception. Seeing how nervous Kylie was before the first look and how all her anxiety just melted away as soon as she saw Cam – priceless! Their wedding party was a ton of fun and together the entire day was such a pleasure to witness and to document. Kylie & Cam – you guys are true gems, I’m so happy to have celebrated with you and captured all these memories. Congratulations!

(and check out the wind we had on that day – it was the strongest I had ever experienced at a wedding!)

Jen & Devin: Wedding Photography at PineRidge Hollow

May 3, 2017 | Wedding

In June of last year, I had the immense pleasure of being present at Jen & Devin’s wedding to photograph the day.

I had met them a year earlier and had had such a great time taking their engagement photos at the lake that I could not wait to be their wedding photographer. The day was truly memorable and heart-warming, and also full of personality and fun! It’s hard to sum up in words, but Jen and Devin put together a few of their thoughts from their day to share:

“Our experience with Gabrielle and Duncan was so relaxing and comfortable. They were always moving and willing to get different and candid shots. Their personalities kept everyone at ease and made being in front of the camera a blast! They helped keep things moving in a very hectic day. Their amazing work resulted in the most cherished photos in our home. They are absolutely stunning!”

Here’s a look at their day in photos, including more of their thoughts and memories from their day:

1615JD4918 1615JD4921

“The most memorable part of our day was definitely our ceremony. The rain held off long enough to allow us to focus on each other and experience the moment that was 8 years in the making. It was an incredible moment to have all of our loved ones there in one place. But we just can’t believe it rained 10 minutes after the ceremony had finished!”

“The best surprise of the day was how much love there was in one place. The love and energy in the air was palpable, and we felt truly blessed to have had so many people there who wholeheartedly support and care about us. It was a very humbling feeling.”

1813JD5795 1816JD5832

“It’s impossible to pick just one favourite photo! But I think if we reeeeeally had to choose, we’d choose the one of us walking arm in arm, smiling the widest smiles during our one on one session in birds hill. Our smiles are the most genuine and relaxed. They really captured our love and excitement about the day. ”

1832JD5891 1848JD5985 1903JD6046 1904JD6052 1921JD0382

“Our intention in the day was simple: we wanted it to be us. We wanted it to be relaxed, fun, and rustic. We tried to make our guests feel at home and have fun being with one another. I think our lawn games, smores bonfire, and poutine late night snack did just that! Pineridge Hollow is such a beautiful venue that holds beauty on its own merit, so it’s grounds fit our rustic feel wonderfully.”

Ahlea & Jason – Wedding at PineRidge Hollow

Dec 14, 2016 | Wedding

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!

April + Matias: Wedding at PineRidge Hollow

Jul 13, 2016 | Wedding

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!
