London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Beth & Shane's St-Thomas Engagement Session
I met up with Beth and Shane at Pinafore Park in St-Thomas, where we started their engagement session in the woods with their little guy Carter before heading off just the two of them. Our next stop was Hawk Cliff Woods - breathtakingly beautiful and the perfect setting with that golden hour sunlight glistening over Lake Erie. We finished our shoot in a picturesque hay field, where Beth and Shane cozied up in the back of their pickup truck as the sun continued to set. One final spontaneous stop on the side of the road produced one of my favourite shots of their session, with Beth and Shane literally walking into the sunset. An all around beautiful session that I'm so happy to be sharing favourites from today!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Allison & Shawn's Sunset Country Engagement
I photographed Allison and Shawn's beautiful sunset engagement session on a golden Summer evening last year. We met on their country property and took photos with their favourite tree and their beloved dogs before heading out to a nearby field drenched in warm sunset light. Here are some favourites from the session!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Kim & Steve's Engagement Session
What more can you ask for than a beautiful sunny evening, a gorgeous woodsy backdrop and the coolest, sweetest, funniest couple? I had so much fun with Kim and Steve at their engagement session, and the laughs continued into their wedding day, which I can't wait to blog very soon. Here are some favourites!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Jacque & Corey's Downtown Engagement Session
I always love shooting engagement sessions downtown London. Jacque and Corey had a beautiful (and I mean beautiful) farm wedding last Summer, and I love that they got to do something totally different for their engagement photos. Here are some favourites!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Lauren & Riley's Grand Bend Beach Engagement Session
I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Lauren and Riley's engagement session on a beautiful evening last Summer. We headed to the gorgeous Oakwood Resort (one of my favourite venues! <3 ) where they will be getting married later this year to take some photos on their grounds before heading down to the beach right before sunset. I absolutely loved this session and can't wait to head back to Oakwood for their July wedding. Here are some favourites! (Lauren's hair and makeup by Esteem Artistry)
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Geoff & Joyce's Downtown Engagement
Geoff and Joyce met me downtown on the sunniest Summer evening for their engagement session. These two are adorable and laughed their way through the entire shoot - all smiles even as they were being chased by the most aggressive geese ever. I can't wait for their upcoming wedding. Here are some favourites!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Mark & Melanie's Port Stanley Beach Engagement Session
What a beautiful day it was for Mark and Melanie's family engagement session in Port Stanley. I got to meet their sweet girlie Summer and photograph them having fun as a family, as well as some couple shots as they celebrated their engagement. I can't wait to blog their beautiful wedding, but for now here are some favourites from their beach engagement session.
London Ontario Photographer | 2016 Favourites
I've been sharing my 2016 favourites on Facebook and Instagram for the last few weeks, and I've loved reminiscing about such a fantastic year of photos. For those who have been following along, you'll notice several images in here that were not featured in my daily favourites posts. But I'm weak and unable to narrow down things I love, so I simply could not exclude some of these images, nor could I keep sharing daily 2016 favourites into the Summer. So here are some of the images that spoke to me the most in 2016 - images that made my heart sing because of the emotion they evoked, or because of the artistic process that went into making them, or because of that golden delicious sunlight I am always chasing, or because I get that feeling when I look at them, that feeling that reminds me that I am so lucky to do what I love, and that makes me want to keep capturing moments and creating art through photographs for as long as I can. <3
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Andreea & Ryan's Skull n' Blossoms Engagement Session
I showed up to Springbank Park expecting to shoot yet another Spring blossoms engagement session. Come May, everyone requests this location because of the stunning colours. Don't get me wrong, I adore those beautiful blossoming trees just as much as the next photographer, but after multiple blossom sessions in a row, it can start to feel a bit repetitive. So as I drove to the park this particular evening, I was trying to think of ways to challenge myself creatively so that this session wouldn't just be a repeat of the engagement session I had shot in the same place a few days before. And then I showed up and Andreea was wearing the coolest skull dress, and Ryan was holding a giant black glittery skull. I had to laugh because it just reminded me that no matter what the location is, every couple brings their own flavour to make each shoot their own - and sometimes, that involves a giant skull!
