My work blends candid, in-the-moment storytelling with gently guided, editorial-style portraits — creating images that feel natural, romantic, and effortlessly elevated.

Whether you’re planning a full wedding weekend or a beautifully simple ceremony, your day will be captured in a way that feels meaningful, refined, and unmistakably you.
Whether your celebration is large or intimate, my focus is always the same — creating timeless images that allow you to relive how your wedding day felt for decades to come.

As a Kitchener-Waterloo wedding photographer serving Cambridge, Elora, and Southern Ontario, my goal is to create imagery that feels timeless, emotional, and effortlessly elevated — photographs you’ll treasure not just today, but for decades to come.
If you’re ready to begin planning your photography experience, you can explore the portfolio below or reach out to connect. And if you’re still gathering information, you may find the answers to some common questions just below.
Most couples reserve their wedding photographer 9–18 months in advance, especially for peak season dates. If you’re planning a wedding in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, or the surrounding region, I recommend reaching out as soon as you’ve secured your venue so we can ensure availability and begin planning together.
Yes — while I’m based in Kitchener-Waterloo, I regularly photograph weddings throughout Cambridge, Elora, Guelph, and across Southern Ontario. I’m also available for destination celebrations and love documenting weddings in new locations.
There are so many incredible venues in this area. Some favourites include Cambridge Mill, Elora Mill, Whistle Bear Golf Club, and DTK Chapel, each offering beautiful architecture, natural light, and stunning backdrops for timeless wedding photography. I’m always happy to provide recommendations based on your vision and priorities.
Absolutely! Most couples I work with don’t consider themselves “photo people,” and that’s completely normal. My approach combines gentle guidance with natural interaction so nothing ever feels stiff or forced. I’ll guide you every step of the way while still allowing space for genuine, candid moments to unfold naturally.
The number of images varies depending on the length and flow of your wedding day, but most couples receive several hundred carefully edited photographs. Every image delivered is thoughtfully curated to tell the complete story of your celebration — from the big moments to the quiet, meaningful details.
My style focuses on timeless, true-to-colour imagery that feels natural, emotional, and refined. I blend candid storytelling with gently guided portraits to create photographs that feel effortless while still beautifully elevated — images you’ll love not just today, but decades from now.
