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.

there is something magical about being in love.
it's that feeling down deep in your soul, when you just know that you are meant to marry your best friend, and spend the rest of your lives making each other happy.
that's the kind of love that Josh and Arica share.
you might think that it's not possible for me to know how deep their love flows, but i beg to differ!
you see , Arica is a good friend and fellow wedding photographer, and i have seen her crush on Josh, blossom into a deep love, right before my eyes.
i have been working alongside Arica for quite a few weddings this year, and when we first started working together this past spring, i remember quite clearly the day she asked me what i thought of Josh. i have known Josh and his wonderful family, for about 7 years now, and Arica admitted to me that she had a crush on him and was hoping they would someday date. 
well, the first date turned into many dates, and i quickly saw that they were meant to be together, forever and ever.
Arica has become a dear friend in the last 7 months, and i can't wait to watch her and Josh get married and spend the rest of their lives together.
one of the big reasons i am also super happy about Arica and Josh's upcoming marriage, is that i can tell that their love is just as awesome as the love that Darryl and i share.

there aren't many couples that can still say that they are more in love today than they were on the day they got married 20 years ago, but Darryl and i can say that. we adore each other, to the depths of our souls, and i can't imagine being married to anyone else.
from what i can see, Josh and Arica are just as perfect for each other as my Darryl and i.
they are truly blessed.

i am also thrilled to be able to photograph Arica and Josh's wedding next spring, at Heritage Village in Harrow Ontario (which is 20 minutes from Windsor). 
i am blessed with great friends, and i count Arica as a true gift from God. 

just take a look at how happy these two are. you can see it in their eyes.
oh, and if you didn't already know this about me.....
i LOVE eyes.

Bob D - North Carolina Wedding Photographer:

I love these images. The fall colors are lovely. It's been years since I visited southern Ontario but I remember it being very lovely. (Used to visit to dive the 19th century wrecks... primarily schooners... in the Peelee Passage area). We don't get a lot of fall color here in North Carolina... mostly pine forests along the coastal areas.
