Hi!

Photos aren’t just images, they are a way to forever feel the connection you feel today
To me great photographs aren’t about the perfect hair or those awkward and stiff ‘smile at the camera’ poses. Great photographs evoke emotion. They can transport us in time to the feeling of that exact moment (and, the wedding moments that you are going to experience are magical.) You deserve photos that show this. You deserve an experience that is fun. Great photographs capture your true connection, your personalities, and the way you are together. My gift is in reading people. Knowing how to guide people so that they can be who they are. I know when to push for a pose or when to let the moment unfold. My end goal is to capture the two of you in beautiful ways that show you off.
I have been photographing Calgary and destination weddings for 12 years. At the beginning of my career I worked with anyone, but now I have come to realize my photographs are of real connection, personalities, and people enjoying their day. And so, the couples I help are those that truly value their relationships around them – from their family and friends, and especially their partnership. They cannot wait to marry their best friend. Being a wedding photographer is about the beautiful photos and more. It is about supporting you leading up to the day, guiding you through your engagement shoot, and on the day being right there as a constant support and experiencing the joys and love of the day while helping to keep things organized and fun. And the best moment? Delivering these moments of connection and joy to the couple in a slideshow that can bring you back to this moment forever.
This is my very own ride or die. She makes me laugh every single day. When I am with her I think about things differently. Most importantly though, she is my definition of home.
We are grateful to live in a country where people within the 2SLGBTQIA+ community can marry one another, and we never take that for granted.
