capturing adventurous souls who are madly in love
I take a hands-off approach when it comes to photographing your wedding. I know you're probably thinking "wait, what?!" Yes, I'm not a wedding planner or a bonus bridesmaid (although I love to step into this role when needed!) - I'm there to do one job; photograph your wedding day! My main focus is on the connections, the genuine moments, the tears shed when you're not looking. By taking a step back and letting your day flow the way it needs to I can capture real moments that reflect your unique day.
I am all about documenting moments that will create memories for you that will have you catching your breath and instantly transporting you back to that moment. You can trust me to completely capture all of your in-between moments. I will, of course, get those beautiful photos of your family (the ones that Mom loves!) but I want to create photos for you that you'll put into your wedding album and when you open it on your 50th anniversary you'll be instantly taken back to your wedding day and be able to relive the emotions, the laughter, the tears, and the adventure that was the beginning of your love story.
Your big day has finally come! I'm so excited to capture your "I-dos"! I'll be by your side practically all day. Lean on me, friend! I'm there if you need anything - I'll keep the timeline on track, help fix your makeup, or find you a drink! All you have to do is focus on enjoying your day!!
besides who you're going to marry, of course!
These are once in a lifetime moments that I treat with as much love and care as if they were my own. It is an honour to capture these memories for you, but also a huge responsibility so let's make it count! If you want a photographer who will help you plan your big day, make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, and someone who puts their whole heart and soul into her work... I am your girl!
I'm passionate about photographing wedding days that are focused on connections and laughter. I offer three different collections ranging from 4 - 8 hours. Depending on the moments you want photographed we'll work together to find the perfect collection for you.
All collections include:
- Online image gallery to view and download your edited images
- Access to a professional Canadian print lab
- Welcome Guide to help you prepare for your wedding day
Collections begin at $2000
Elopements are for the couples who don't want to plan a wedding and want to say their "I Dos" privately, wherever they please! These collections are perfect for a shorter timeline.
All collections include:
- Online image gallery to view and download your edited images
- Access to a professional Canadian print lab
- Elopement Guide to assist you in planning and preparing for your elopement
- Travel within Alberta (additional travel charges apply outside of Alberta)

Whether you’re celebrating an engagement, anniversary, or just want some updated images and a chance to go on an adventure with the person you love most, my couples sessions are a perfect blend of epic locations and tons of fun!
All collections include:

Yay! Let's Freaking Go! I'm SO excited! In order to lock in your wedding date - a 30% deposit and signed contract are needed! I offer a standard 3-payment plan. Your second payment is due halfway to your wedding and your final balance is due one month before your wedding. For engagement and lifestyle sessions, a $200 deposit and signed contract are due to secure session. Remaining balance is due two weeks before your session!
I typically book weddings and elopements one year in advance. Lifestyle sessions are typically booked within a few months. It breaks my heart to have to turn people away so please inquire as soon as you know you're wedding date!
I sure do! Whether you're a quick roadtrip away or I need to jump on a plane - I'm down!! Please inquire for more details and pricing.
Sneak peeks will be sent out within a few days of your wedding/elopement and your full gallery will be sent within 8 weeks. Lifestyle sessions are delivered within 4 weeks.
Every wedding, elopement, and lifestyle session is so different and it’s hard to put a specific number on images. However, I do not limit the amount of photos I deliver. Generally for weddings you will most likely receive 80 - 100 images per hour of photography coverage.
My photography approach is capturing people just the way they are. I won't touch that natural beauty, because you are beautiful just the way you are! If you have a pimple or blemish please let me know! Sometimes it's hard to tell during the editing process whether it's a pimple or a birthmark. If you want extra photoshopping to make you look like a supermodel on the cover of Vogue, I may not be the photographer for you!
Not to worry! It's part of my job to make sure you don't feel this way. I'll give you prompts and direction that help you feel comfortable and like yourselves. One of the things I always hear from my clients after their sessions is how much fun they had and how surprisingly easy it was. Trust me, you're in good hands!
That's gonna be a no for me! On occasion I will offer a discount on my social media or a giveaway but I don't give any info out about when I will be doing this.
If, for whatever reason, I'm not able to photograph your wedding/elopement, I will have an associate photographer capture your event. This will be a someone I trust completely to capture all of the moments I would. I'll still edit the images to ensure you get that warm, natural style that you fell in love with when booking me.
To be honest rainy, cloudy days are my favourite. They make for the BEST photos! Being in Alberta if you book your session in the colder months we may have to play it by ear closer to the day of your session. If the weather is dangerous, too cold, or will damage my gear in any way we can reschedule. We can also book a studio! There are lots of beautiful options available in the area.
The retainer you pay to book your session or wedding is non-refundable. This means that I have put your event in my calendar and will say no to other work. If you need to cancel you will forfeit your retainer. If you need to reschedule your lifestyle session your retainer can be moved to your new date. If you're rescheduling your wedding you'll need to pay a $500 postponement fee. This will not be an additional fee and the $500 will be put towards your remaining total.
That's a no, ma'am! I give a LOT of time and energy to editing your images. As an artist and creator, my photography work is my art. I believe that RAW, unedited images are halfway done and asking for these would be like commissioning a painter and asking them to send you the canvas and their paint before they had even begun.
