• The time of day you choose to take your photos makes all the difference. The hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset are known as "golden hour" or "magic hour" and are the two very best times of day to take portraits. The sunlight is soft, golden and hits your face at an angle that is the most flattering. If you can schedule your engagement and wedding portraits during this time, your photos will be truly magical.⁣ ⁣ This past weekend was a bit of a photo marathon, which is typical mid-October. It started on Friday evening with Meghan & Jon's golden hour engagement photos. So much fun joking around with these two.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #tavistockontario #engaged2020 #engagement #shesaidyes #ido #gettingmarried #engagementring #putaringonit #isaidyes #futuremrs #kwwedding #kwawesome #countrywedding #kitchenerbride #farmwedding #kwweddingphotographer #barnwedding #theknot #junebugweddings #belovedstories #authenticmoments #OWAshare

  • Anna Harris was assigned the role of charge nurse at Peterborough Regional Health Centre's COVID-19 unit in April. With three young, (amazing) kiddos at home, she made the difficult decision to move out of her home and into a student residence at Trent University for 9 weeks. Admiration doesn't begin to express how I feel about the way Anna stepped up at the height of the pandemic's first wave. I can't imagine how difficult it was for Anna to sacrifice time with her family and exposing herself daily to COVID-positive patients. She's truly a hero and I was so happy to have gifted her a family session last week. ⁣ ⁣ As you might recall, back in April, during the economic shutdown, I ran a promotion as a small way to give back to the countless essential workers. During a short time, anyone who booked a family session with me would be invited to nominate an essential worker a complimentary session of the same kind. Thank you to the Harris family for everything you've sacrificed and to Anna's aunt Joanne for nominating her to receive this 'Gratitude Session.' I honestly can't think of a more deserving family to receive this gift. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #gratitudesessions is inspired by @anastasiachomlack's movement #kwphotographer #kwfamilyphotographer #kitchenerfamilyphotographer #dtkitchener #uptownwaterloo #kwawesome #familyportraits #familyphotos #familypics #familyfirst #familyiseveything #familyaboveall #familygoals #familyfun #mytinytribe #lovemyfam #familyouting #familytime #mywholeworld #myeverything #cutestkid #authenticmoments #toddlertrouble #honestmotherhood #ig_motherhood #supportlocal #shopsmall

  • I've got a secret: I'm a wedding photographer, but one of my biggest priorities on a wedding day has nothing to do with photography. Along with capturing stunning, authentic moments, one of my top priorities is to help facilitate the most enjoyable experience of the day. Sometimes that means choosing to not steal the wedding couple away from their energetic reception to take a cool night photo.⁣ ⁣ However, with the rise in popularity of micro weddings this year, there are fewer guests to greet and less formalities to contend with. If there's a bit of downtime in the wedding day schedule, I have time to set up creative photo ideas that I otherwise wouldn't have time for.⁣ ⁣ Cassandra & Alex had this neat vintage car on display at their backyard micro wedding last weekend, so before leaving for the night, I took the time to set up some lights to create this styled setup that feels a bit like a still from an old movie.⁣ ⁣ Budget-conscious couples will often try to pick the smallest photography package. But remember that without a bit of extra time in the schedule to flex their creative muscles, a photographer may not be able to create more unique photos for you.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #engaged2020 #engagement #microwedding #shesaidyes #ido #elopement #bestdayever #engagementring #putaringonit #yestothedress #dreamwedding #futuremrs #kwwedding #kwawesome #countrywedding #kitchenerbride #farmwedding #kwweddingphotographer #wilmot #authenticmoments #OWAshare

  • Cassandra & Alex met through Alex's mom, who set them up together on a supposed "work trip" - a road trip through the mountains. She saw the connection these two shared back then and knew it was meant to be. Their wedding planning has been a rollercoaster. First, it was this year, and then it was next year, and then back to this year with fewer guests, but inside and with masks, then it was outside, with very few guests, six feet apart. It's no doubt been stressful, but it turned out to be the most spectacular wedding day. They were glowing all day long and it was such a pleasure to capture all the love and joy they were exuding. If nothing else, it proved to me what I already knew: your wedding day doesn't need to look anything like how you originally planned it for it to still be perfect in every way. Congrats newlyweds! #LoveIsNotCancelled #PostponeDontCancel #MicroWedding #OWAshare

  • For many years, my best advice for couples getting married is to not let little things that go wrong ruin your wedding day. When I gave this advice, I was imagining things like the centerpieces aren't exactly what you ordered, or your wedding dress got dirty. I never imagined the way weddings have been disrupted this year. Some couples are opting for a micro wedding, while others are postponing their big party into the new year. One thing is consistent, at least among the couples I've been working with: they are taking it all in stride and rolling with the changes with grace. Congratulations to Alaina & Alex, who would have been getting married today under normal circumstances! Even though plans had to be changed, today is absolutely worth celebrating! I can't wait to see how much harder everyone parties and tighter everyone hugs, once this is all over. ❤ #kitchener #kitchenerwaterloo #kitchenerphotographer #kitchenerontario #dtkitchener #kitchenerweddingphotographer #kitchenerwaterloocambridge #kitchenerwedding #kitchenerphotography #kitchenerevents #kitchenerbrides #engaged #feyonce #wereengaged #engagedAF #futuremrandmrs #elopement #OWAshare

  • Happy would-be wedding day, Tina & Haydn! Today, these two would be saying their I Do's, but #loveisnotcancelled, so they are delaying the big day to next summer. I love their playful energy and can't wait to capture their big day in 2021! #postponedwedding

  • 2020 has been quite the year so far. It's been challenging for all of us. It's been especially stressful for couples who had planned big wedding celebrations this year. Most couples in that category who I'm connected with have decided to postpone their weddings into 2021. But like Denise & Mike, some couples are opting to downsize their wedding and have a more intimate celebration. With the uncertainty of COVID-19, we just might see more couples choose a micro wedding in 2021 as well. For those in that boat, know that just because it's smaller, it's no less magical. I love big, boisterous weddings, and I know how disappointing it might be to not have all of your closest family and friends there to witness this huge moment in your life, but I promise there will be plenty of time to celebrate together once this is all past us.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #engaged2020 #engagedAF #engagement #microwedding #kwwedding #kwawesome #kitchenerbride #kwweddingphotographer #OWAshare

  • If you want your family portraits session to be all stiff poses and forced smiles, find a different photographer. I'm all for expressing yourself with portraits that feel more like how you actually act around each other. I want to explore a cool space with you, laugh with you and create photos that express what makes your love for each other uniquely beautiful. #kwphotographer #kwfamilyphotographer #kitchenerfamilyphotographer #dtkitchener #uptownwaterloo #kwawesome #familyportraits #familyphotos #familypics #familyfirst #familyiseveything #familyaboveall #familygoals #familyfun #mytinytribe #lovemyfam #familyouting #familytime #mywholeworld #myeverything #cutestkid #authenticmoments #toddlertrouble #honestmotherhood #ig_motherhood #supportlocal #shopsmall

  • Every parent knows. They do things that will surprise you and make you laugh, but by next week they might grow out of it. I always feel the conflict when I'm spending time with my son whether to live in the moment presently with him, or capture the memory because I know I'll soon forget that cute expression he's been making, or word he's been mispronouncing in a funny way. I love connecting with families and kids to capture these fleeting moments and versions of themselves so that families can live in the moment while also capturing the memory. I believe family portraits can be so much more than: sit here - stay still - look there - smile! To me, it's about creating memories, capturing moments, telling your story.

  • Rather than wait until next year to get married, Denise & Mike decided to have an intimate, socially-distanced wedding ceremony this summer and will wait until next year for their big party. There's something about getting married during a pandemic that to me, says, "Our love is bigger than this." It doesn't matter what's going on in the world, love conquers all. It was a truly beautiful day to see these two come together in marriage. I suspect intimate weddings might be in style for the next year or two and I'm excited to make sure my clients feel how BIG even a "small" wedding can be.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #bridetobe #engaged2020 #engagedAF #engagement #weddinginspiration #shesaidyes #ido #weddingideas #bestdayever #weddingplanning #gettingmarried #engagementring #putaringonit #yestothedress #isaidyes #dreamwedding #futuremrs #kwwedding #kwawesome #kitchenerbride #kwweddingphotographer #alwaysabridesmaid #rockwaygardens #belovedstories #authenticmoments #OWAshare

If you want to learn more about the program once more info is available, there's a link to enter your email address in my bio.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #kwphotographer #kwfamilyphotographer #kitchenerfamilyphotographer #dtkitchener #uptownwaterloo #kwawesome #familyportraits #familyphotos #familypics #familyfirst #familyiseveything #familyaboveall #familygoals #familyfun #mytinytribe #lovemyfam #familyouting #familytime #mywholeworld #myeverything #cutestkid #authenticmoments #toddlertrouble #honestmotherhood #ig_motherhood #supportlocal #shopsmall
  • I met up with Francine & Sam last night, who are one of the few couples whose wedding is still on my 2020 calendar. Their positive, hopeful attitude through what has been a challenging time for wedding planning is so amazing to see. I'm crossing my fingers that they can still have the wedding of their dreams in November. 🤞⁣ ⁣ I can't tell you had good it's felt to be able to get back out, exploring beautiful places with awesome couples and families and creating images of love and connection. Without weddings on my plate right now, my schedule is mostly open for photo sessions with smaller groups, so please reach out if you're interested.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #engaged #engagement #shesaidyes #ido #covidweddingplanning #gettingmarried #engagementring #putaringonit #isaidyes #eloramill #elorafergus #eloramillhotelandspa #eloramillwedding #eloraweddingphotographer #eloraontario #eloragorge #authenticmoments #OWAshare

  • Since seeing a viral post yesterday about a couple who were refused service by a local wedding videography company because they were two women, I've been heartbroken. And angry. Not only is it illegal for a business in Ontario to refuse service to someone based on things like their orientation, but no matter how "nice" you are about it, saying "I don't film homosexual weddings" is incredibly hurtful. Love is love and everyone should be treated equally. This should go without saying. I've said it before and I'll say it again: my business is a safe space for everyone. I would be honoured to capture your love, no matter who you are or how you identify. ♥️⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #engaged #engagement #weddinginspiration #shesaidyes #ido #bestdayever #brides #bridestobe #weddingplanning #gettingmarried #engagementring #weddingday #isaidyes #weddingphotography #weddingphotographer #instabride #samesexwedding #loveislove #equalmarriage #marriageequality #kitchenerweddingphotographer #gaywedding #lgbtqwedding #lgbtqfriendly
