Guelph Arboretum Wedding Photography | Lexie + Chris

Lexie & Chris's Wedding

Guelph Arboretum Wedding Photography

Lexie and Chris’s wedding took place at the gorgeous and versatile University of Guelph Arboretum. This location is one of my favourites to use whenever I’m working in Guelph, and I was super excited to have a wedding take place there! The Arboretum has everything — from manicured gardens, to fields, forests, and even bogs. It’s an amazing space!

Lexie and Chris started their day with a first look in the English Garden, followed by photography of the lovely couple, and an emotional ceremony at the gazebo near the Arboretum Centre building. After family photos and bridal party photography, we took a bit of time to explore the grounds and capture some more images of the newlyweds!

As the sun set and the reception began, Lexie changed into a more comfortable dress (because let’s face it, wedding dresses are not made for comfort!) and we snuck off into a nearby field for some lovely sunset photos.

I had an amazing time working with his lovely, kind, affectionate couple! I cannot wait until our paths cross once again.

“We hired Ema as our wedding photographer back in June and we couldn’t have been happier with her. From the moment we first met to the day she delivered the final prints she was an absolute joy to work with and we can’t recommend her highly enough.

Despite being overwhelmed with wedding planning for months we knew we didn’t have to worry about our photos as they were in such good hands. In the lead up to the wedding she was helpful and responsive and did a ton to put our minds at ease, catering her contract to us to make sure we got exactly what we wanted.

During the wedding itself she was a breeze to work with and it was clear she’d done a ton of location scouting as she managed to find some incredible spots at just the right time of day. Ultimately all that matters is the photos and they are genuinely breathtaking. Despite feeling like deer in the headlights for most of the day Ema managed to make us seem like wedding magazine models! The only problem is we have too many options for a wedding photo, we only needed one!

All in all, a fabulous experience for a very reasonable price. I’m told she’ll even travel throughout Ontario, and I can assure you she’s totally worth it. I’d highly recommend her!”

New Year’s Eve Wedding Photography | Alexandra + Brett

Alexandra & Brett's Wedding

New Year’s Eve Wedding Photography

< Back to Weddings

Alexandra and Brett decided to do something a little bit different, and have not just a winter wedding, but a New Year’s Eve wedding!

This couple was not only SUPER fun, but also very brave…

The day of their wedding came, and the weather report was calling for -30C with the windchill. That didn’t stop them from meeting me in the Toronto park we had chosen for their wedding photos! Alexandra arrived looking stunning…wrapped up in a gigantic blanket, along with each her gorgeous bridesmaids each either donning a blanket or sleeping bag for warmth. Definitely not something you see every day – especially not at a wedding – and this lended itself to tons of laughs as we hustled to take the bridal party photos! Alexandra’s father was kind enough to assist us by holding everyone’s blanket or sleeping bag while their photos were being taken 🙂

After this very unique photoshoot experience, we headed off to their venue for the evening ceremony and very entertaining reception!

So much fun!

Ireland Engagement Photography | Blarney Castle | Amy + Jordan

Amy & Jordan's Engagement

Ireland Engagement Photography | Blarney Castle

< Back to Engagements

Those who know me, know that I LOVE to travel. As a photographer, I am extremely lucky to be able to travel for work, and to also manage my own schedule such that I can explore the world and have a bit of adventure!

This was my first engagement photoshoot outside of Canada, and it was so much fun 🙂

Amy and I first met in University, originally when she was an undergraduate, and then also a vet student! She is one smart girl with a HUGE heart and a love for animals (which I can absolutely relate to). When she and Jordan became engaged, they came to me for their wedding photography! Their wedding is coming up around the corner and will take place in gorgeous Guelph – however when I asked them upon booking when they wanted to photograph their engagement, Amy paused… “Actually…we’re moving to Ireland for Jordan’s med school”. The gears in my brain began to turn, “How do you feel about me coming to Ireland for your engagement session?!” — and the rest is history!

My partner Matt and I blocked off a 2.5 week chunk of time in April and May; Instead of just flying there and back for the shoot, we decided to extend our stay and rented a car and Air BnBs to be able to explore the Emerald Isle! And wow. We have ZERO regrets about our decision to do so!

We arrived at the end of April and started our trip in Dublin. After some sightseeing and a very fun pub crawl, we proceeded to Limerick to meet up with Amy and Jordan, and to photograph their engagement session which took place at Blarney Castle (where Jordan had proposed!). It was a SUPER rainy day – in true Irish fashion – and we were not quite sure if the storm would pass in time for us to take photos. Thankfully it did! We had so much fun exploring the beautiful grounds – I particularly loved the random daffodils in the field <3

Here are a few of my favourite photos from Amy and Jordan’s engagement session! I cannot wait for their wedding day!

< Back to Engagements

Angelina and Brian wanted to explore the beautiful Elora Gorge area near Elora Mill for their engagement session. Despite the snow and ice, they were game to trek down a treacherous set of stairs to get to the river (did I mention Angelina was in heels!?). Miraculously, we had zero incidents, and as a result captured some gorgeous (no pun intended) sunny photos by the river! I love when my couples have a sense of adventure!

Algonquin Camp Arowhon Wedding | Christy + Justin

Christy & Justin's Wedding

Algonquin Camp Arowhon Wedding

< Back to Weddings

When I first met Christy and Justin, it was a rainy day in a Starbucks – where we sat for over an hour chatting and laughing!

I suppose what a lot of people don’t know – or don’t consider – is that when a wedding photographer sits down with a couple, the interview is in fact going both ways. The couple is deciding whether or not they’d like to work with you as a photographer – and as a photographer you’re deciding whether or not the couple is a good fit for you and your work. As a photographer, I’ve had the privilege of working with SO many amazing people and couples! I knew that Christy and Justin would be amazing to work with when we had so much in common and our meeting went much longer – and with even more laughter – than my meetings usually go!

During the summer, we had a beautiful engagement session where my suspicions that they would be amazing to work with were confirmed 🙂

Christy and Justin’s wedding took place in the fall at Camp Arowhon in Algonquin Park. This wedding was truly up my alley – as my love for the outdoors, camping, and photography were merged into one spectacular event! Their beautiful day started with a heart warming ceremony, followed by photography on the lake, a fantastic reception inside the main dining hall at the Camp, and then marshmallows roasted over a campfire!

So much fun!

“Ema was professional, and thorough during our first meeting, and made our engagement shoot enjoyable and easy! On the day of our wedding, she captured our memories beautifully (and stealthily at times!) She has a very good eye for lighting and angles, and we had a great time working with her! We feel lucky to have had such an awesome photographer, and now a friend! Would highly recommend!” – Christy
