Chantelle + Michael // Intimate Dundurn Castle + Aberdeen Tavern Wedding, Hamilton Ontario

M&C had a beautiful intimate ceremony at the Cockpit Theatre at Dundurn Castle in Hamilton. I’ll be honest, I’ve photographed at Dundurn hundreds of times HOWEVER, never went inside this building. This was my first time seeing the inside and I was blown away at how beautiful it is. The rustic stone walls, the wood accents, the giant skylight - it was stunning. Who knew this beautiful piece of history was so close to home AND the perfect ceremony spot.

Suzanne + Connor // Traditional Vietnamese Couples Session / Dundurn Castle, Hamilton

Suzanne wanted to honour her Vietnamese culture by wearing the traditional Vietnamese outfits during the reception at their wedding. They changed right at the end of the night - so we barely had time to take photos in the outfit. Only getting a few quick shots on the wedding day, we decided to do a “post-wedding” session, where they got to throw the traditional outfits back on and have a PROPER photo session.

Erin + Luke // Surprise Proposal & Maternity Shoot // Hamilton, Ontario

There's so many beautiful things I get to experience with my job. But one thing that will never get old, is being able to document a proposal.

Whether I'm helping the groom-to-be plan the proposal from the get-go, or they spring it on me spur of the moment during the shoot, it will never get old.
