Welcome about

I'd love to hear from you, so please click HERE to get in touch. I look forward to hearing more about your wedding day plans and details.

You have just arrived at my blog, and I welcome you!

This blog is just a place where I write about my journey as a wedding photographer, as a mother, wife and friend. 

I am an illustrative wedding photographer, located just outside Windsor Ontario.  I have a huge love of photojournalism, black and white photography, and weddings that make me cry! I don't like the ordinary, I love being different, and I put my heart and soul into everything I do.

My kids are my greatest treasure and my hubby my greatest love.

I feel that this quote summarizes me and my outlook on business....

"Always hold on to the truth. Don't let others sway your heart. Don't compromise yourself for the sake of temporal groovyness. Be Deeply Funky. Be separate from the crowd that's awash with normality, by standing on a firm foundation. Never waver in your love or faith ...." - John Fluevog.

i am blessed.

i just wanted to let you know, that i am a blessed woman. i am blessed with a wonderful family, an extraordinary hubby, and a career that brings more pleasure to my life than i could ever have imagined possible.

now that i have that public announcement out of the way, i will get on to chronicling about the fantabulous (that's my new favourite, made-up word of the day) wedding that i had the honour of photographing this past weekend.
about 6 weeks ago, i was contacted by Kalyna, who needed to find a wedding photographer ASAP, since her already booked photographer, had to go to Tanzania on a job with World Vision. i was tickled that i was free on the day of her wedding, so we spoke over the phone about the details, and i was excited when i heard that her and Fraser were having a traditional Ukranian wedding service.
how wonderfully unique.
i also realized that Kalyna was super sweet, and i couldn't wait to meet her in person.
this past Saturday, i picked up my awesome 2nd shooter, Julie Rhodes, and we made the trek to Terra Cotta Ontario (near Caledon) which is just a few kilometres from Brampton & Georgetown. it was a bit of a hike ( almost 4 hours) from Windsor/Kingsville, but it was definitely worth the drive.
when we arrived at the bride's house, we realized that this was going to be a special event. 
there was so much love in that house!!!!!
Kalyna was easy going and fun to work with, and Fraser was also fun and easy going, so we had a blast with these two!
oh, and the service and reception were held at the most unique church i've ever seen! it's a Ukranian Catholic Church, just outside of Brampton and it looks like it belongs in Europe somewhere. Julie and I squealed when we started up the driveway to the church, since we knew right then and there that it was going to be a lot of fun!

here are a few photos from our fantabulous day. 
thanks to Kalyna, Fraser and their wonderful families, for making my job super easy.

service & reception were held at : St.Elias Church, Brampton Ontario
