"Vanessa outdid herself! She paid attention to details and sentimental moments with loved ones. I love that we have formal and candid photos that captured our day perfectly!"

Explore the Photography Packages

50 years from now, you likely won't remember too many of the details of your wedding day. It will be a faraway, happy memory of a day filled with, hope, wonder and the excitement of tomorrow.

Have you ever wondered what a wedding day might look like without a wedding photographer? My hope is that it would look very much the same! Your day is about so much more than the photographs, it's about your love, your family and the start of a wonderful life together.

I'm there to document every piece of it so you can look back years later and remember every moment vividly.

Your love story deserves to be documented, beautifully.

What is your inspiration in the photos you take?

Every session begins with an open mind and no expectations but for you to be yourselves!  You don't need to find Pinterest photos or practice poses, just come ready to spend some quality time with your favourite person! I want you to look back on your photos and feel like you!

The long and short answer, you!

What is your inspiration in the photos you take?

I can assure you, you'll forget all about the jitters after a few minutes.  I want you to have photos that feel like you, not that couple on Pinterest. There are no complicated poses or stiff smiles here! Just lots of walking, talking, laughing and hand holding, so basically, a date night!

This is perfectly normal!
