So apparently every single time these two visit the mountains, there’s either smoke or low cloud which covers the mountains.. so I fully blame the lack of visibility on these two during the shoot! BUT I do have to admit they sure look good even in the sleet snow and wind. 👏

Congrats to @joceelynann and James. You two are absolutely perfect together.

The first photo you see here may not be the typical photo you’d see posted from a beautiful mountain wedding. To me, when it comes to documenting love stories it’s about a lot more than an epic mountain backdrop or a perfect pose, it’s about the in between moments. ✨

It’s about the way these two are together, unscripted, being their authentic selves with each other. This first image was a totally candid moment them just walking along behind us, Jesse carrying her purse because, well chivalry isn’t dead after all...and Megan laughing her butt off at him. To me this moment describes them perfectly.

Love finds a way even in the midst of a worldwide pandemic and the typical wedding day hiccups. Nothing could stop these two from sealing the deal. 🤍 Congrats to these gorgeous babes and I can’t wait to share more from this incredible day.

Guyssss. Today my youngest is ONE ☝️ (cue the tears)

In true second child fashion I don’t have umpteen updated professional photos of her but I figured I’d share a photo of her and I that I love from when she was 6 months old and then also a video of the moment I laid my eyes on her, and then a photo of her from just the other day.

You’re the one I knew I never needed. You’re the one who I needed to make this last year better than it should have been. Even on my darkest days you’re the light in my life, along with your sissy of course, so thank you for that. Thank you for being a little more cautious than your sister, you seem to have a softer demeanour and I love that about you. You two sure have a cackle that matches though and I absolutely adore that. 😆

Quite simply, thanks baby girl for being you. Happy first trip around the sun. 🤍

So how did you all survive without social media yesterday? A much needed break or a pain in the a$$? I’d be lying if I said I didn’t check like 10+ times to see if it was up and running 😂

Here’s a bit more of @anewasiuk and Ryan, because these two are stunning and I loved their day!

This photo deserves its own square ✨. I remember when I shot this image I thought YUP this one will be one of my favourites. The fall colours are absolutely amazing right now, and these two babes make it look even better 🍂

Coming out of my posting hiatus to share a bit of @sc_wilson21 and @rauuuuul44’s day! I have so much to share, such little time so let’s start with these babes who I absolutely adore. 😍

Congrats to the Wilson’s. You two threw an epic party, one that will go down in history. 👏

I always find it crazy how you can shoot at the same venue multiple times and never have even close to the same kind of photos every time!

Much like Katelin and Robert, this day was chill, somewhat edgy/modern, and full of love. I loved to see that they really committed to spending quality time with their loved ones on this day, as in my experience weddings can sometimes be super rushed. I hope these photos speak for themselves in showcasing the incredible love these two share, and also.. is it obvious that I’m slightly obsessed with Katelin? 😜

To my wonderful husband, my rock, my best friend - happy freaking birthday 🤍

You make 34 look damn good 😍 Because of you I have a life full of love, happiness, and a family I’ve only ever dreamed of. It doesn’t matter what hurdles comes our way, you’re always there to help us get through it all seemlessly. You bring the calm and sensibility to my life, which is very much needed at times. I hope today you feel loved and appreciated for all that you do not only for me but for everyone else as well.

Happy birthday “da da” 🤍 @ceemers9

I'm so happy Alex managed to nab "cute butt guy" Tanner so that I was able to tag along on this incredible day. 🎉🤍

It was an adorable backyard wedding at Alex’s parent's house, followed by a sparkler exit and then some blue hour photos at a spot that overlooked the Hotel MacDonald, where Alex and Tanner had late night dinner reservations and a hotel room waiting for them. Now THAT right there sounds like a wedding done right to me! 👏

Congrats to the Ferbeys! Thank you for having @beccaschultzphoto and I along for your special day.

I don’t normally shoot in blue hour a ton. I’m usually always chasing after those golden sunset rays ☀️ but I don’t know guys... I’m definitely diggin’ the moody light on these ones. What do you think?

@katlynn_prenioslo and Jordan, thank you for having me along on your special day. 🤍 It was so fun getting to know you both!

⬆️ back before when I used to be cool and not just tiny humans’ snack bitch 🧀 (as per @dayswithgray)

Just popping on here to say hi, what’s up - ya’ll alive out there? I feel like everyone is super burnt out (not just the wedding industry). Everyone’s trying their best to squeeze in alllll the socializing, camping, events and we are sooo not used to all the action. It’s exhausting! But soak it up because before we know it winter will be here, and I hate to say it but I’ve already witnessed the fall colours popping sooo get it in ya guys! No ragrettts!

Happy hump day! 🍷🤍
