What It’s Really Like to Have Me as Your Wedding Photographer
Ontario & PEI Wedding Photographer for Couples Who Crave Candid, Connected Moments
If you’re here, you’re probably dreaming of a wedding day that feels relaxed, full of love, and beautifully you. Not overly posed. Not rushed. Just you and your favourite people soaking it all in, and photos that capture every bit of that magic.
So I thought I’d pull back the curtain and share what it’s actually like to have me as your wedding photographer. Because this job? It’s about so much more than showing up with a camera!!
Before the Day: Building a Connection That Feels Like Friendship
From the moment you inquire, my goal is to get to know you. Who you are as a couple, what you value, and how you want your day to feel. We’ll hop on a call, talk through your story, and laugh about your first date or how the proposal happened. As your wedding photographer, I want to become your go to and know you!!
I’m here to help with more than just photos too!! I’ll send timeline tips, vendor recs, outfit ideas for your engagement session, and answer any question you have, wedding-related or not. I’m in your corner from day one 🙂
The Morning Of: Calm Energy and Quiet Moments
I arrive with a calm presence and warm energy, someone who feels like a friend, not a stranger! Whether you’re getting ready in your childhood home or tucked away in a cozy Airbnb, I take time to soak in the space, chat with your wedding party, and capture those quiet little moments that make the morning so special.
The way your mom zips up your dress. The deep breath before the first look. The coffee mugs and scattered makeup brushes. I’m there for it all.
You’ll Never Feel Posed (But You’ll Still Feel Guided)
You won’t find me barking orders or forcing stiff poses. My style is all about natural direction and helping you move together, laugh together, be present with each other.
I might gently prompt you, like “hold each other like you would at home,” or “whisper what you’re most excited for today.” But mostly? I step back and let the real connection unfold.
Capturing the Moments You Didn’t Know Were Happening
While you’re wrapped up in the joy of your day, I’m watching for the in-betweens… the way your dad wipes away a tear during the vows, or your best friend sneaking you a tissue. These are the photos that end up meaning everything.
You’ll look back and feel what it felt like, not just what it looked like.
Golden Hour: My Favourite Time as a wedding photographer is to Steal You Away hehe!
Right before sunset, when the light turns golden and soft that’s my favourite time to sneak you away for 15 minutes. It’s a chance to breathe, reconnect, and capture some truly dreamy portraits while the day slows down.
It’s often one of my couples’ favourite moments too.
After the Day: Sneak Peeks, Galleries, and Forever Memories
You’ll get sneak peeks within a few days (because I know you’ll be dying to see!), and a full gallery in 6–8 weeks with every candid, emotional, joy-soaked moment. From there, we can work together on albums, prints, or even a cozy in-home session if you’re craving more.
Because this isn’t just a one-day thing, i’m here to tell your story for years to come.
Ready to Tell Your Story? If you’re dreaming of a wedding day that feels relaxed, intimate, and full of heart?! I’d be so honoured to capture it for you.
