The Timeless Relevance of whole group wedding photos
Allow me to inspire you to embrace the idea of briefly stopping time in your wedding day to allow your photographer to document you, surrounded by your wedding guests in one incredible frame, smiling faces forward and dressed in everyone’s best to honour your love story. Why? Because, how often do you get to enjoy all of these wonderful people from your lifeline, some or many of whom you may never get to see, members of your extended family, young and old, work colleagues, old college mates, many who’ve flown into town especially for you, all together in one single frame?

Nuptials & Babies: A Love Story
Unbeknownst to Sam and Drew’s closest friends and family, the couple had already been secretly married for 2 years by civil marriage ceremony, before finally moving forward with their formal wedding day planning! Needless to say, their ceremony officiant, and dear friend, Alma would have the pleasure of informing everyone that validating the marriage by reading the usual legal texts would be unnecessary, and reveal their big secret, given that she was a witness for their civil marriage ceremony! The audience reactions were a blast to document, and a joy to capture for their memory of this special day in their love story.
Intimate Chalet Wedding at Domaine William Wentworth
Who would have thought that a handful of years after selling Vitor (V) a camera bag online, that we’d become industry colleagues, and he would invite me to document his intimate chalet wedding to Yaëlle (Y) at Domaine William Wentworth in Drummondville, Quebec. Little did we know upon signing the contract at the start of 2020 that Y&V would have to postpone their wedding date for 2 years while the world shut down, but finally the date had arrived, when their intimate circle of close friends and family could safely arrive from Brazil, England, and the west coast of Canada to celebrate this beautiful love story over the course of a wedding weekend reunion for the books.
