London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Claire & Mike's Oakwood Resort Wedding

June 15, 2017

Claire and Mike were so much fun to work with. I loved their Springbank Park engagement session (with just enough Star Wars flare to make it totally them) and have such fond memories of their beautiful Oakwood Resort wedding (one of my favourite venues!!). The weather on this day was all.over.the.place. From super sunny while the bride and groom got ready to a windy ceremony to an intense storm rolling in during family photos and a light sprinkling for their couple shots, it was definitely a roller coaster. But these two took it in stride and made the most of their day, laughing, smiling and embracing the umbrella with style. Claire has a smile that lights up a room, and Mike sure knows how to make her smile. Like, for example, when he pulled out his cell phone during the procession to take a "bride walking down the aisle" selfie. It was a hilarious, totally unique moment - and that turned out to be one fantastic selfie. So glad to finally be sharing some favourites from this day.

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Kim & Steve's Intimate Idlewyld Inn Wedding

May 9, 2017

I wrote when I blogged their engagement session that Kim and Steve are the funniest, coolest couple ever, and that came through on their wedding day as well! There's nothing like laughing about obscure tv show references while shooting wedding day portraits to make for a fun, lighthearted day. Their ceremony at St-Justin's Parish was perfectly intimate and made even more sweet by their adorable daughter Hannah who inserted herself between them on the altar, making for the cutest ceremony photos ever. We headed to the charming and lovely Idlewyld Inn for their reception and took photos on their perfectly manicured grounds. It was a beautiful, happy day that I was honoured to capture. Here are some favourites!

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Kristy & Brian's Windermere Manor Wedding

April 4, 2017

Kristy and Brian got married last year on what was probably the hottest day of Spring - It truly felt like the middle of Summer! Their little guy William looked so adorable in his suit (can we just declare suspenders on toddler the cutest thing ever?), and everything from the stunning decor to the gorgeous, classic florals was perfection. I love shooting at Windermere Manor because you get a breathtaking, unique ceremony and reception venue and beautiful grounds for portraits all in one place. I so enjoyed reminiscing about this lovely day and am thrilled to share my favourites here on the blog today! (You can also check out their engagement session here!)

The Mama Journal | 52 Portraits (34 & 35)

September 4, 2014

I'm doubling up this week, since a week away has put me behind in posting! 52 Portraits | Week 34

You've been drawing so much lately, beautiful intricate creations with thoughtful details, and it's fascinating to watch your world come alive on paper.

52 Portraits | Week 35

You have been so interested in lighthouses lately - asking to see pictures of them daily, with so many questions about how they work - so we took you on a surprise road trip to visit 2 Ontario lighthouses, and it was one of my favourite days, ever. I hope it's one of yours, too.

London Ontario Promotional Photography | Whitehills Childcare Association

January 19, 2012

I was very excited when Whitehills Childcare Association contacted me about doing some promotional photography at their various sites for their new website. I had a blast interacting with the children and trying to capture their spirit and creativity. I've included a few photos here, but you can view the new website here and click on the various links to see more. *Note: While most of the photos on the website were taken by Raw Footage Photography, there are a handful of photos that were taken by Whitehills staff.
