London Ontario Wedding Photographer - Carla & Jon's Old Courthouse Wedding
There’s nothing like blogging past wedding to get me thinking about how much I absolutely love my work. I am so thankful for the amazing couples I get to work with, and Carla and Jon are right up there with some of the kindest, most down-to-earth people I’ve had the pleasure of photographing. This whole day was full of smiles and laughter and just an overall sense of ease and lightheartedness that made it such a joy to be a part of. I absolutely loved documenting this wedding, and I’m so happy to be sharing some favourites on the blog.

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Chris & Christy's West Haven Golf Wedding
I’m so happy to be sharing Chris and Christy’s beautiful West Haven Golf wedding. Christy was the maid of honour for one of my past brides, Lauren, and I was so delighted that Lauren was Christy’s matron of honour as well. It’s such a treat to bump into past wedding clients at weddings I’m shooting, and I am so thankful for the many generous referrals I’ve had over the years. Chris and Christy’s day was filled with laughter and sun with a Fall theme woven throughout their decor elements, from the “Mr & Mrs” pumpkins to their adorable cake topper to their Halloween-themed candy table. Here are some of my favourites!

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Joyce & Geoff's Windermere Manor Wedding
I loved Geoff and Joyce’s Windermere Manor wedding. Their beautiful outdoor ceremony featured live music, a traditional Filipino veil ceremony and a bubble exit for the books (confetti, bubbles, rose petals… give me a ceremony exit with people throwing things at you and I am a HAPPY photographer 😍). Their reception was equally lovely, and the dancing portion of the night kicked off with a Filipino Tinilking Folk Dance. It was my first time witnessing this tradition, and it was so much fun. I was completely mesmerized by the sheer coordination required. I have such happy memories from this day, and I’m so glad to be sharing it on the blog!

London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Alyssa & Jacob's CASO Train Station Wedding Celebration
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and photographing Alyssa and Jacob for their engagement session, and again for their Canadian wedding celebration following their elopement. They held a beautiful reception for their close friends and family at the beautiful CASO station in St Thomas, and I was lucky enough to capture a few portraits of them along with some family photos. Here is a handful of favourites!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Tracy & Dustin's Farm Wedding
This was such a fun, beautiful day. I love weddings that take place on private family properties, because they have such a laid back feel and are bound to have so many fun, personal touches. We snuck out at the end for some golden hour photos and the sun did not disappoint. Here are some favourites!

Best of 2018 Weddings | London Ontario Wedding Photographer
I’ve had so much fun looking back through 2018’s family, engagement and newborn lifestyle sessions over the past week, and it’s all been leading up to this massive wedding post. I’ve gone through the images so many times and there are still far more photos here than there probably should be. But I’ve never been one to keep things brief, so here we are. ;) So many amazing couples, so many gorgeous and unique locations, so many incredible vendors that I’ve had the privilege of working with. I can’t wait to blog all of these weddings individually, but for now here are my 2018 favourites in one big heap. Enjoy!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Martin & Rachael's Backyard Wedding
Every so often, I am invited to document intimate and charming backyard weddings, which is one of my favourite things to shoot. Martin and Rachael said I Do on a beautiful, sunny afternoon at home with their two beautiful dogs and their closest family and friends. Here are some favourite images from their special day.
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Beth & Shane's West Haven Wedding
Nothing sets the tone for a wedding like a tornado warning, a massive and scary shelf cloud moving in (and the ensuing torrential downpour) and the alarm going off at the golf course. ;) Thankfully, the skies cleared in time for Beth and Shane to have their outdoor ceremony on the West Haven terrace and take some outdoor photos afterwards. The rain gave way to blazing sun and intense heat, but Beth and Shane didn’t let the wild weather put a damper on their beautiful wedding day. Here are some favourites from their West Haven Golf and Country Club wedding! Big thank you to my second shooter and assistant, Melissa Pushelberg.
Grand Bend Wedding Photographer | Lauren & Riley's Oakwood Resort Wedding
Lauren and Riley’s Oakwood Resort wedding was one for the books. You may recognize them from my promo video, as I was lucky enough to have Brian from Novelist Studios tag along with me that day to capture some behind the scenes footage of me shooting. I’ve said before that I love shooting at Oakwood for many reasons, but their gorgeous terrace for outdoor ceremonies and the proximity to their private beach is top of the list. Lauren and Riley said I do on a beautiful sunny day and snuck out to the beach for some breathtaking sunset portraits. Lauren wore one of the most gorgeous dresses I’ve had the pleasure of photographing, and the entire day was just so full of love and laughter. Lucky me, I will get to see many of these beautiful faces again when I have the pleasure of photographing Lauren’s sister’s wedding next Summer!

Shannon and Matt has a beautiful April wedding at the Ivey Spencer Leadership Centre that was bursting with personal touches.
