A dreamy al fresco dinner with ocean views in PEI 🐚
We were lucky enough to spot a whale breaching (it was amazing!!)
Safe to say PEI was pure magic ✨

Part one - morning of 💌
What started as a small shoot to test out new gear turned into an incredible afternoon and collaboration with some seriously talented people
I love putting together shoots; coming up with concepts and moodboarding, but also playing with photography and collaborating with friendors
This shoot is inspo for the couples wanting to get married downtown at city hall, with an editorial, classic vibe on digital and film 🎞️
After the getting ready and ceremony, why not visit the cities landmarks with your love? More to come soon 🕊️

Before the guests arrive 🥂
When piecing together your timeline or trying to figure out how many hours of photography coverage you need, remember more hours = more time to take your time
No one likes feeling rushed, and you especially don’t want to feel this way on your wedding day! Scheduling even one extra hour of coverage can give you a much needed breather throughout the day or be a relief when things run behind schedule (which they do most days!)
Each wedding day is so different, so your photographer or planner can recommend what sounds best for your day
In my wedding handbook, I cover how much time is needed for each “event” throughout the day so you know what to expect from me, and it’s included in every wedding package. I got you covered! 🥂
Let’s talk about printing and albums 📔
After the party’s over and you’ve relived your day through the photos, what happens from there?
We definitely want to turn your photos into something tangible that you can keep close and look at often, instead of forgetting about the link saved or USB in your drawer.
But creating an album sounds either like a fun new thing to keep the wedding bliss going, or a big task.
The good news for people who love playing with photos and design (like me), you can make a luxury album on your own through your online gallery. On the other hand, I can create and design one either with you or on my own!
The most important aspect of creating an album that evokes emotion is by telling your story thoughtfully. Tossing photos together like a slideshow might not take you back to the moment as strongly. So trusting your photographer to layout your photos, adjust cropping and do our thing will make a difference (kinda just like making these carousels).
If you’re a past or future client and want to talk more about how we can create this keepsake for you, send me a DM! 💌
Reminiscing on this summer evening after waiting out the rain for these sweet family photos
I can’t wait for drives through the country when everything’s green and lush and peaceful 🌾
Almost one year until these two say I do!! 🥂

I still have a good amount of dates available for this year starting in April-December. Head to my stories to see what dates are left 🗓️ I can say this is my year for intimate weddings with lots of film, which is a dream 🕊️
I’ve been slowly booking consults while still enjoying loads of self care, which looks like reading 4 different book series simultaneously, hot yoga, trying to perfect my at home lattes and doing my most favourite - whatever I feel in the moment 🕯️
Happy Tuesday! Hope you’re leaning into rest and self care these days 🤍
September sun for Miles’ 1st birthday, what a dream by the mountains
Love in black and white 🤍

Summer nights in the city with these two loves 🖤
Always a magical day at ✨
It’s been a little over a month since we celebrated Vero & Nicholas’ wedding and it was so special. The love and adoration these two have for each other was just radiant and present the entire day.
Wrapping up their gallery is bittersweet because I’ve loved supporting and celebrating them throughout the past year and on their day. These kind words from them mean so much 🫶🏻
“Thanks so much for making this day so special. Not only are you extremely talented but your energy is what I hope every bride and groom gets from their photographer; calming, patient, supportive and super helpful. We're both immensely grateful to have had the opportunity to have you as a photographer for our special day and engagement photoshoot.”
💛
Fall tones are officially making their way and I am not mad about it 🍂

Anna and Felix on a rainy Sunday evening at a castle built in 1835 💌
I spent the weekend in Hamilton to capture this sweet engagement session and it was so good. What an honour it is to travel all over to document a piece of your story.
Having done sessions for Anna’s cousins, I feel so fortunate to keep getting to know their family 🫶🏻
I cannot wait to celebrate these two kind hearts next year in Ottawa! I know their day is going to radiate joy, pull at my heartstrings and be one hell of a party 🖤

We made it to Wednesday friends 🍾
It’s the thick of busy season and that’s not just for us vendors
Last week I sadly got into an accident after a shoot that left me, a deer and my new car a little rattled 😅 we’re all okay though!
Apart from editing like a mad woman, I’m enjoying sunset swims with Heidi and trying to go to the beach as much as possible ☀️ Beach + Sunset + picnic = my fav
Hope you’re all having a wonderful, wild (and safe) summer! 🫶🏻
There was no shortage of smiles and laughter on Nikki & Aaraf’s radiant wedding day at .peaches.and.cream ☀️

The cliffside elopement I’ve been dying to share permanently on my feed 🌊🐚
Narrowing down the photos from this evening kept me up until 2am, and there’s still so much to share.
Hilaire and Matt are two absolutely incredible people who not only made this shoot possible, but shared a glimpse into their beautiful love story and warmly welcomed me to NL. Thank you for braving the wind and sleet again 😆❤️
For now, here’s a mix of film and digital. I’ll be sharing all of this shoots magic in a blog post soon 💌

Adding stamp collecting to my list of hobbies 💌
I started collecting vintage stamps for this styled shoot, and I’ve loved it! It’s so fun searching for unique stamps and landmarks of Canada from 50+ years ago.
I knew right away that would be perfect for creating this suite and I absolutely love how each piece came together.
I mean.. that liner!! 👀
Thank you Cody for sharing your immense talent with the world 🫶🏻
