Elizabeth and I met in Sicily back in 2010. Due to a fortunate chain of events we ended up staying at the same fantastic vila. We connected right away on many levels and I recall our laughs with great pleasure. We truly felt we must have been sisters in a previous life!

The day was simply magic, all elements in place, I could not have asked for a better decor and a greater variety of shooting spots. All in all, the vibrant collection of images we got will make for an amazing… Continue

Heather and Christian got married last year in August. I have thoroughly enjoyed being there on their day.



It was to my nice surprise that almost one year later Christian contacted me thinking to surprise Heather for their first anniversary by offering her a 'trash the dress' session with me. He knew his wife would be absolutely thrilled to wear her gorgeous dress again.



So here I went to Barrie on an amazingly beautiful September day. We had, again, a lot of fun together.… Continue

Carla and Geoff had an intimate wedding at the City Hall. It was a lovely celebration with family and friends and I had the pleasure to capture some great moments.

The wedding photos speak for the couple's nonchalance, I had a wonderful time with them!

Easy going, fun and relaxed. A pleasure to work with!…
