Woah guys, I’m stoked to share this wedding with you. Toronto is such a fun city and this Archeo wedding was no exception. I absolutely adore the Distillery District and all the industrial vibes down there. I wish we had more venues like this in the Hamilton area, but only being an hour away from this - I can’t complain. Distillery weddings are totally my vibe.

I have never seen a love so beautiful, pure, raw, and mesmerizing until I met Andrea and Steven.

The sparkle in their eyes as they talk about each other, and the breathtaking vows they said at the ceremony. Oh, those sweet, beautiful vows. To this day, I still can’t read or listen to them without crying.

Winter weddings are SO underrated. Honestly, it doesn’t get much more beautiful than this. What’s not to love about bright white snow, cozy candle lit ceremonies, fur throws (faux of course), and all the l o v e. This February I got to photograph a stunning winter wonderland wedding at the Ancaster Mill, followed by some photos at the RBG, and finishing off the reception at the Oakville Conference Centre.

This day was WILD! As I was driving to this session, I almoooost made the call to cancel it. The rain storm was absolutely insane, and the sky was pitch black it almost felt like it was night. Absolute insane weather that came out of NO WHERE. I ended up hyping myself up and saying - screw it. We’re shooting. Rain or shine. AND I’M SO GLAD I DID.

Engagement sessions are the bomb. I know I’ve said it before, but getting to hang out with your clients for a few hours is such a great opportunity to get to know them a little better leading up to their wedding day. For example, heading out to Vittoria/Port Ryerse to document the love between these two and where it all began.

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.

Jocelyn & Steven kicked off my 2019 with an epic couples sesh out in Dundas. We started off at one of my favourite spots, Detour Cafe, then ventured through the Art Gallery, and finished off in a forest nearby. We wanted some urban vibes mixed with winter & nature, and that’s exactly what we got.

To say this year has been incredible would be an understatement. I’ve recapped some of my favourite moments from 2018 in this blog post. Grab a snack, sit back, and enjoy!

Lauren & Scotty! Where to even begin? For starters, these two have a very special place in my heart. I’ve been friends with them for a few years now — and have been blessed to watch their love story grow throughout the years.
