Shania & Paolo’s Beautiful Backyard Wedding

A bit of planning is all it took to turn this backyard into a beautiful backdrop for a wonderful wedding day!

A had the wonderful opportunity to meet Shania and Paolo a couple of months before their backyard wedding day. Due to the changing restrictions, they opted to keep it simple but elegant when planning their special day. Leading up to the day I remember the weather forecast being pretty bleak with chances of thundershowers throughout the day but low and behold the day of the wedding turned out to be a beautiful overcast / sunny day. I don’t think I’ve had such an easy couple to work with before but these two were a dream to work with and capture. Easy going and go with the flow type personalities, these two were so fun to be around the entire day. Thanks Shania and Paolo. You made this long day one not to forget any time soon.

Matthew & Hope: Dreamy Sunset Elopement at Trappist Monastery Provincial Heritage Park

i always try and time for a 10-15 sunset session during a wedding day and these usually end up being some of my client’s favourite images from the day!

Matthew and Hope had contacted me a month before their wedding elopement and wanted to get some quick photos of their special day together. They had asked me about times and locations and to me and if I have total control of when I can take these photos, it will always be during golden hour / sunset. These are some of my favourite images to take on any type of shoot / day because the light is just so amazing! Combine that with a beautiful location at Trappist Monastery Provincial Heritage Park and you have a match made in heaven. Thanks again Matthew & Hope! These are still some of my favourite pictures from 2021!

Sarah & Dan Stefura's Beautiful Barn Wedding @ Gables Wedding Barn

This beautiful wedding was well worth the wait after a couple of delays!

COVID has really put a damper on a lot of couples planning for a wedding the last two years. Sarah and Dan were originally suppose to get married back in 2020 but with lockdowns and restrictions, they thought it would just be better off to hold off until 2021. And boy was it worth the wait! We started with bride and groom prep. at the beautiful Fort Garry Hotel downtown and slowly made our way out to Gables Wedding Barn to end the night! In between we stopped at the new “Pump house” restaurant downtown for a quick snack and some pictures. What a fun night it was of family, dancing and of course a lot of drinking! Congratulations Dan and Sarah! I'm honoured I was able to capture this beautiful day for you guys!

Stepahine’s Boho Maternity Session at Allure Studios

Maternity sessions are some of my favourite images to capture as a photographer & combine that with a KICK ASS studio space = magic

I love shooting at the newly revamped Allure Studios. What the owner Neffi Bergen has done with that space has been nothing short of amazing. Combine that with this beautiful mother Stephanie and you have a match made in heaven for some beautiful portraits. I’ve known Stephanie for most of my life and we did end up working together for a short period of time at the hospital. So of course when she asked me to do these maternity photos for her, I was more than happy to capture these moments for her. These are to this day, still some of my favourite photos I’ve ever taken and it’s easy to see why. Thanks again Stephanie for letting me capture these for you!

Lucas & Gabriela's: Maternity Session

Seeing a family grow and being able to capture someone’s life journey is something i’ll always cherish

I’ve had the great opportunity to capture Lucas & Gabriela in past years but this time, they were about to add a plus one to their family! I always love being able to document someone’s life journey and it’s pretty surreal to me that I get to do this for so many clients that have just become friends at this point. I’ve finally had the chance to blog this beautiful maternity session this week but these two actually welcomed their first son into the world last week with baby Luca! Congratulations you two!

Jasbir & Anna - Kildonan Park Elopement

Personally, you couldn’t have asked for a more elegant elopement. a short & sweet ceremony on a beautiful weekend morning!

I’ve personally known Jasbir for a couple of years through my full time job and when he had asked me to capture his short & sweet elopement with his beautiful bride to be Anna, I of course said yes! They both just wanted something simple but elegant. They scoped a couple of locations and settled on Kildonan Park. If you grew up in Winnipeg at all, you would know that this small but beautiful park has some hidden gems for photos. My most favourite spot being of course the ‘Witches Hut’ which as a kid, freaked me out because I actually thought there was a real witch living in the hut. Well 20+ years later I’m glad to know that there weren’t actually any witches living in there. Not that witches are real though…. right?

Anyways, check out my first blog in almost a year with these beautiful pictures from Jasbir & Anna’s special day. Thank you again for letting me capture these for you guys.
