The story of Katya + Apaar on their regular stomping grounds in The Annex of Toronto 🫶🏻 From the flower shop across the street from their place where they get fresh flowers, to one of their favourite walking routes and subway station. I had sooo much fun create art with them while keeping it an authentic representation of this chapter in their lives!! 🫶🏻😃

I LOVED when Katya wrote me and said “The best photos would be photos where we’re not performing at all. Photos where friends and family can look at it and say “that is so like them”. I would love for the photos to show how we are together (probably pretty playful and some romantic, maybe catching the way we look at each other or the way we talk or joke around.) I don’t mind weirder photos or angles, most of all I trust you to lean into your artistic vision!

Also my dad did a lot of photography and my favourite photos are the ones in his photo album, where my mom is blurry from laughing or my sisters are still toddlers and walking with a pout on their faces!”

When couples have their full trust in me in this way, thats when my creative juices flow the most and I can be even more connected to mu intuition to create magic like this 😍

Have you been feeling creatively stuck or uninspired lately? That’s sooo relatable and you’re not alone in that! I think every photographer goes through seasons where we’re showing up, shooting the weddings, editing the galleries, posting the content… but you feel like you’ve reached a creative plateau and ready to take things to the next level for it to all feel exciting and challenging (in a good way) again!

I’ve been there many times too! What I discovered is that the shift doesn’t need to be dramatic. Sometimes you don’t need to completely reinvent yourself, you just need a fresh perspective, a new idea, or one little golden nugget that makes you think, “Wait… I could try that!”

That’s one of the reasons I’m SO excited to be part of the Wedding Creator Bundle. (Huge thanks to Steven Schultz + Levi Tijerina for bringing all us together)

It’s PACKED with resources, education, tools, and ideas from photographers and educators who are sharing what they’ve learned, and you never know which one thing might spark 10 new ideas of your own!!

This bundle includes resources that if purchased separately from each of us, would be valued at $1,750, but you can get the bundle with everything included for just $99 🫶🏻

You already have what it takes to keep growing, creating, and evolving. Sometimes you just need a little inspiration to remind you how much you’re capable of. ❤️

The Wedding Creator Bundle is available for $99 until tonight, August 19th, and then it’s gone forever.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re ready for something fresh, this might be exactly what you need. Link is in my bio 🫶🏻

Lucy + Ellie’s afternoon elopement on a Tuesday was the sweetest! I can’t even put into words how calm and peaceful the energy was surrounding them, and at the same time so full of joy, laughs and deep deep love and adoration for one another ❤️

These two really touched something in my heart that day that I’ll never forget. I think (who was incredible at officiating their intimate ceremony) would also strongly agree! We totally gushed over them together! 😃

Every wedding feels a little different. A lot of it comes down to the atmosphere of the space you’re in.

Decor, florals, and design absolutely play a role, but so does the setting itself. How it allows people to move, gather, and celebrate🥂Waterfront venues naturally lend themselves to a more open and easy-going kind of flow! 🌊

If you’re dreaming of being close to the water on your wedding day, I’ve put together a curated list of some of the best waterfront wedding venues Ontario has to offer! 🫶🏻😃

📌 Save this for later + tap the link in bio to read the FULL list (these are just some), with standout features, and all the dreamy details.

I’ve seen this happen too many times. The ceremony ends, and the couple feels like they need to rush straight into family photos or portraits to “stay on time.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes the pressure comes from the venue wedding planners, sometimes from the anxiety they feel within themselves to “not fall behind”, or “just get the photos done”.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And when this happens, here’s what I see happen in front of my eyes…The fleeting moment where they just got married passes by in a blur, they don’t get to soak it in, and it breaks my heart for them!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is why I suggest building in just 10-15 minutes of breathing room after the ceremony. Space to receive all the hugs, the love, the congrats from your people. Space to look at each other and go, “We did it.” To just bask in it!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only does it ground you back into the moment, but this is also where I get some of the most powerful images of the entire day that are raw, joyful, love-filled hugs and reactions. It’s honestly one of my favourite parts of a wedding day because it’s so emotionally full.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if you’re planning your timeline, don’t skip this part. Add the buffer. Let it breathe. You’ll never regret slowing down and making space for that moment to really land. 💛 (And your future self will feel it in the photos.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I automatically build this part into the Photo Timeline for my couples, so that I can safe guard this moment for them ❤️ Some like to take the full 10-15 minutes, and for others 5 minutes is enough, but at least they had it built in! 😊️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Save this post to your wedding planning folder. Your future wedding planning self will thank you 😊
