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

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 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

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!

Waterfall Engagement Photography | Natalie + Adam

Natalie & Adam's Engagement

Waterfall Engagement Photography | Rock Glen Conservation Area Engagement

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.

James and Courtney are a lovely recently-engaged couple that I’m so excited to work with! Their positive energy and love for one another made our engagement shoot such a pleasure to photograph.  We met up at Princess Point in Hamilton to capture these beautiful autumn engagement photos. I also brought along my drone for some fun aerial photos and was happy to work with a couple who were up for playing around with some new photo ideas!

Romantic Cottage Boat Engagement Photography

I met up with the lovely Kate and Justin at a beautiful cottage on the water in Penetanguishene, on the shores of Lake Huron.  It was a hazy, warm evening – a perfect day for photos on the lake!

We captured so many lovely photos on the dock and nearby rocks, with Kate and Justin’s pup joining us for some photos as well.  With Justin’s father’s help as captain, we took their boat out onto the water as well, where I captured some romantic photos of this wonderful couple with my drone. I love the amazing perspectives that can be captured with drone photography! I can’t wait for Kate and Justin’s wedding day.

Evening Engagement Session | Elora Gorge | Laura + David

Laura & David's Engagement

Elora Gorge Engagement Photography

Elora Gorge has a special place in my heart for engagement photography. You may just say it’s…gorgeous!  You may also say that I’m terrible with puns – which I am 😉
I recently met up with the lovely Laura and David for photography in Victoria Park in Elora, as well as down in the river area.  In the Park, we found a lovely patch of little white daisies where Laura and David did not balk at my request to have them lay down on the ground for some adorable head-to-head photos.  We then proceeded down the steep steps and into the gorge.  It was a beautiful day.  The low water level in the river meant that I could get right in the cool water to photograph Laura and David up on the various rocks!  We had a great time and lots of laughs as always. I can’t wait for their beautiful upcoming wedding day!
