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!

2016: A Year in Review

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!

Ahlea & Jason – Wedding at PineRidge Hollow

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

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!

Engagement Guestbook

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!
