Your trusted guide and friendly neighbour
Relax & enjoy a stress-free, story-telling approach to wedding photography that feels more like inviting a trusted friend, and less like the paparazzi!
– I'm a Brandon Manitoba wedding photographer, covering Clear Lake, Virden, Inglis & beyond.
– I graduated top of my class with a diploma in graphic design, I'm a former magazine Art Director & have been happily photographing weddings since 2012.
– I will be your trusted guide throughout the day, by staying focused, calm & on time, while keeping the mood light & fun.
– My focus is to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera by giving lots of direction to create images you'll love!
– I'm also a mama to 3 boys, a prairie girl at heart, and the great outdoors is my happy place. If I'm not working, you'll find me exploring the forest, at the lake, or relaxing by the fire.

About your wedding photography experience.
I provide a stress-free, story-telling approach to wedding photography that feels more like inviting a trusted friend, and less like the paparazzi!
Getting Ready
I capture moments as they unfold naturally. I'll choose the best lighting and location for getting into the dress, photographing details like dress, shoes & rings, and generally just blend in as a friend. (I've definitely been known to fold kerchiefs & pin boutonnieres when asked!) This allows you the space & time to immerse yourself into enjoying your day.
Ceremony
During the ceremony I photograph all of the events as they unfold naturally. We will discuss any special ceremony events beforehand. I spend most of my time in the aisle, but also capture images from each side angle (bride & groom). I am careful to spend very little time (if any) in area between you and the front row of guests so that their view isn't impeded by the photographer.
Family Photos
During family group shots I will choose the location and organize your family groupings. We'll prepare your list of family group shots prior to your wedding day so this portion of the day glides by smoothly & painlessly. I have a good outdoor voice & make sure this part of your day doesn't get out of hand!
Couple & Wedding Party Formal Photos
During couple & wedding party photos, I'll give you tons of direction! I will choose the best lighting and location and tell you exactly where and how to stand, and where to put those hands. Then I'll dazzle you with my humour and that is where the magic happens! This will help you feel relaxed & comfortable in front of the camera which definitely shows in your photos. Trust me when I say those natural looking shots do not happen naturally. It is all in how your photographer makes you feel and how they bring out your real smiles!
Reception
During the reception I observe and pay close attention to capturing great shots of the head table, podium & speeches but I also scan the room focusing on your guests, laughter, emotion, details as well as the events as they unfold. These images may end up being the biggest surprise because you won't notice the moment your mom gets emotional over your sisters speech, or the look on grandma's face when the best man delivers his roast!
