Candid Sunset Engagement Photography | Nicole + Trevor
University of Guelph Arboretum Engagement
Nicole and Trevor wanted a rustic sunset engagement photography session with a focus on fun candid photos, and I was happy to oblige! These photos were taken on a warm and sunny April evening at the University of Guelph Arboretum space (one of my favourite locations for photos!). We stuck to the open fields at the park to capture these beautiful images. I loved Nicole and Trevor’s energy – it was easy to capture their love for one another!

Elora Mill & Elora Gorge Engagement Photography | Rebecca + Mark
Elora Ontario Engagement and Wedding Photographer
Rebecca and Mark wanted to celebrate their engagement with photography in and around the charming town of Elora. They loved the old stone buildings of the historic Elora Mill, and the beautiful Elora Gorge as well of course! We met up for these fun engagement photos on a lovely autumn day, taking advantage of the beautiful fall colours in Victoria Park, the cute streets around Elora Mill, and the scenic gorge! I loved their easy going nature and Rebecca’s amazing laugh!

Airship37 Distillery District Wedding Photography | Sam + Laura
Toronto Wedding Photographer
I first met Sam and Laura at Sam’s sister Angelina’s wedding a few years ago! At her sister’s wedding, I remember she delivered a hilarious speech – so a few years later when I received an email from Sam about her upcoming wedding to Laura, I was over the moon! We had a great time and lots of laughs photographing their engagement session at the University of Guelph Arboretum. Unfortunately as has been the case for many weddings, Sam and Laura were forced to reschedule their day, so there was of course extra anticipation leading up to their wedding and we were so excited to get the green light!
On their wedding day, we started the day with some candid getting-ready photos at their Toronto condo, followed by an emotional first look on the breezy rooftop. Sam didn’t hide her emotions seeing Laura in her wedding dress and I love the images that we captured. We then proceeded to the historic Distillery District for their bridal party portraits. It was a HOT September day so we stuck to the shade and had a great time! I love the goofy candids in particular!
Finally, it was time for their ceremony and reception at Airship37 – a wonderful venue by Berkeley Events! We are honoured to have had this wedding featured on their Berkeley Events Blog, as well!
It was a beautiful day spent with a beautiful couple!

Backyard Elopement Photography | Kate + Chris
Kitchener Cambridge Backyard Elopement Photographer
If there’s one thing that rings true for humankind, it’s that we tend to be resourceful and adaptive. While the last few years have been tough for most of us, in some ways it’s been an opportunity for many of our couples to have the small, intimate wedding that they wanted! Kate and Chris wanted to get married more than anything else, and they didn’t want nor need a big wedding to seal the deal. Just their children, and their closest family and friends. A perfect opportunity for a backyard elopement ceremony!
It was a lovely and uncharacteristically warm October evening when we met up in their adorably-decorated Cambridge backyard for their event! Kate’s sons walked her down the aisle for the very sweet ceremony officiated by Jeff Maeck. After the kiss and signing, Kate and Chris and their guests enjoyed a champagne toast, followed by some very cute portraits in their front yard.
It was a lovely evening spent with a wonderful couple!

“Ema is amazing. Her photos – honestly – blew me away. She captured so much more than just the various moments of our wedding day. She captured the ESSENCE of our wedding day. You can feel the vibe through the photos, and that means the world to me. Thank you, Ema.” – Kate
Backyard Wedding Photography Kitchener | Ilse + Aren
Backyard Elopement Photography
When Aren first reached out to me for his wedding day photography, it was obvious that we’d have a great time working together based on his easy going and hilarious sense of humour! Due to the pandemic, Aren and Ilse were forced to reschedule their wedding day a few times – so when their big day finally rolled around, I was extra excited!
My wonderful associate photographer Avan met up with Ilse and her family at their family farm, while I drove out to Drayton to start the day with Aren and his family, where their backyard wedding ceremony would take place.
Avan and I had such a great time with these two – so many laughs!

Elora Mill Summer Wedding Photography | Stephanie + Trevor
Elora Mill and Cedarcliffe Estate Wedding | Bissell Park Wedding Photography
Stephanie and Trevor’s wedding day photography took place at the beautiful Elora Mill, in Elora Ontario. I had so much fun with these two at their fall engagement session and couldn’t wait for their wedding day!
I met up with Stephanie and her bridesmaids at Cedarcliff estate in Elora, a unique castle-esque bed and breakfast overlooking the gorge. This home was the perfect backdrop for Stephanie’s getting ready photos and a little photoshoot of her in her stunning dress.
It was a perfect, hot summer day for Stephanie and Trevor’s romantic ceremony at Elora Mill’s outdoor chapel, followed by family and bridal party photos in the much-needed shade of the Foundry Building. Stephanie and Trevor chose nearby Bissell Park for their photoshoot. The heat kept our photoshoot quick as Stephanie and Trevor were eager to get back to the Mill for a nice cold drink with their closest family and friends.
It was a fantastic day and I am honoured to have captured it for this lovely couple!
“Great quality of pictures, awesome photographer! She’s so nice and caring, she took the time to do candid shots of my guests at my wedding! I would recommend to anyone and will continue to use her services for future family shoots!” – Stephanie
Lincoln Ball's Falls Engagement Photography | Nicole + Joseph
Waterfall Autumn Engagement Photography in Lincoln Ontario
Nicole and Joseph have been such a wonderful couple to work with! For their engagement photoshoot, I met up with them in Lincoln, Ontario. We wanted to hit up a few great locations in the area to capture a variety of images for their engagement photography session.
We started our session at a nearby vineyard, then proceeded and explored Ball’s Falls Conservation Area! As the evening light set we found a lovely local alley in town with romantic string lights for the final location.
Nicole and Joseph were SO much fun! Their laughs and love for one another made this photoshoot a breeze, and I love the images that we captured. I cannot wait for their wedding day!

Natalie & Adam's Engagement
Waterfall Engagement Photography
Natalie and Adam reached out to me to book their wedding, and when it was time to brainstorm ideas for their upcoming engagement shoot, I was thrilled when they suggested we meet at Rock Glenn Conservation Area – the location of a gorgeous romantic waterfall! I was even MORE thrilled when they asked if I would be up for wading into the water with them for some beautiful images of them in the water. I absolutely love when couples are adventurous and want to achieve something different with their photos!
Now here’s the kicker – our session took place on November 1st and it was just barely above freezing temperatures when we met at the park! For the first half of the session we stayed on dry land and took advantage of the beautiful autumn scenery. Natalie and Adam then did a quick outfit change. Natalie, by the way, is incredibly talented and made the red dress seen in these images!
We started with some photos in front of the waterfall, and then it was time to get in the water! I was so blown away with how well they handled the frigid temperatures. I love the images that we captured and can’t wait to have some more fun together at Natalie and Adam’s wedding.
