Emily & Lance: PineRidge Hollow Wedding

Emily & Lance were surrounded by family, friends and a ton of love when they tied the knot at PineRidge Hollow last August. It was a beautifully sunny day and every detail & thought put into the wedding came together absolutely perfectly! Seeing how these two are so happy together was really heart-warming, and also seeing the closeness & fun they have with their friends was an added dynamic to their personalized day. I never get tired of being at PineRidge Hollow for weddings, such a gorgeous setting, plus they have the cutest little pig that took a stroll through the yard during the cocktail hour! (now that’s a fun wedding crasher!)

Here’s a preview from their day, starting with getting ready photos in the city, followed by wedding party photos in Birds Hill Park, a lovely ceremony inside PineRidge Hollow’s yard and a LIVELY evening reception inside the tent. That was a good day! Here’s a preview:

Aly & Mario – Engagement Photography in Winnipeg’s Exchange District

Aly and Mario just got engaged last month so in the past few weeks we’ve been chatting about how to plan for their engagement photos. After discussing several different locations, we settled on an early morning coffee date at Cibo Waterfront Cafe and then some walking around Winnipeg’s Exchange District. The light was beautiful, the air was a bit cool, and these two lovebirds were all warmth & closeness! Although we’ve never met before, we had the francophone connection and conversation just flowed. These two were naturals in front of the camera and so easy to guide from one location to another. I’m so glad the sun was bright and that they trusted me with all the set ups we did. It was a blast!

 

A year in review: 2017 photographs

Wow – looking back at 2017 and seeing all these familiar photos takes me back to all the love, the joy, the laughter and the fun moments that I had the pleasure of witnessing and documenting – and once again, I’m filled with gratitude. Thank you to everyone who went out of their way to hire me to capture their life’s most treasured moments. To preserve these stories and these moments in time for you have been my greatest joy since starting out in photography. I love having this for my own family and I’m so happy that you all treasure photography as much as I do! Below are some random highlights from the past year. I wish I could include every single shoot that I did last year, but I just can’t! Here’s to 2018 and all the wonderful moments that are about to come and that I’m so excited to photograph!

Monika & Chris – Wedding at FortWhyte Alive

Monika & Chris are such a darling couple – with so much zest for life and a comfortable love that is fully present whenever the two are together. It was a beautiful August day and having chosen FortWhyte Alive for their wedding ceremony and reception, it fit perfectly as the backdrop to their wedding day story. With their friends and family surrounding them, the celebrations were heart-felt and meaningful, and the day included a traditional Polish vodka & bread ceremony, absolutely beautiful vows and fun outdoor games into the evening that also included s’mores by a campfire. It was such a joy to spend the day with these two and to capture these memories for them!
