Ashgrove Acres Summer Wedding

Do you ever go away from weddings feeling so positively uplifted? I often do, but Desmond & Kirsten's wedding day was beyond heart warming. Watching the two of them, so excited to join their lives together, legitimately made me fall more in love with my own husband and reminded me how wonderful it is to have found your person. The way these two love each other is inspiring and I hope my own marriage can inspire others to love their spouses a little deeper as well. 

We started the day off with a good ole’ fake first look with one of Desmond’s groomsmen dressing up in a wig and a dress, the same one they made Desmond wear for his bachelor party. That only relieved some of the nerves Desmond had before seeing his bride, but once he did you could see it all wash away as love, gratitude and joy filled the day. We took wedding party photos around the Ashgrove Acres property and finished them off at the old St. Norbert Monastery ruins. Family photos were extremely important to Kirsten so we made lots of time in the day for those as well as some photos with their pup Bella. The ceremony went perfectly. My favourite part was when one of Desmond’s groomsmen surprised us all by bringing a stool for Kirsten to stand on for their first kiss!! She loved it. The reception was a celebration from start to end with plenty of tears and laughs as Kirsten & Desmond’s friends and family gave them words of encouragement and love. It was a day to remember. Enjoy!

Ashgrove Acres Wedding

Zach & Mercedes planned an elegant, woodland themed wedding on what turned out to be an incredibly beautiful Manitoba day. After getting ready in their newly (almost) renovated home, the girls drove out to meet the guys at Bird’s Hill park and after a quick first look with the love birds, we had a blast photographing the wedding party and couple against that gorgeous forest backdrop. The ceremony and reception were held at the gorgeous Ashgrove Acres (located just south of Winnipeg) and everything was perfect. Their dessert reception was not only appealing to the eye, but just as delicious as it looked. The donut wall was a hit and after some heartfelt speeches, a little dancing and lot of fun with their guests, the couple was sent off with sparklers to their happily ever after. Enjoy!

Interlake Adventure Engagement

We started off with a plan. We loaded the canoe, and headed to the rock quarry that always had this beautiful, clear, blue water and limestone and forest all around. But you should have seen our faces when we showed up the the whole quarry was completely dried up. But Steve and Leah are just the type of couple that can make the most of any situation, so we told the story, and took photos in the dried up quarry. We had some fun with it and then headed out to find some other body of water to use. In the end, this shoot became a favourite. Adventurous, fun and romantic. Just the way I like em’.

Bird's Hill Engagement

These two are planning a June wedding in the country and I know it’s going to be beautiful. I’m just a little sad that I won’t get to photograph the wedding, but it’s only because I’ll be standing up for Brianne as her bridesmaid!! She is my sister-in-law and I have been blessed to know her for over 7 years now! I’m so honoured to be a part of Joel’s family and even more honoured that Brianne wants me as part of her wedding party. I hope you all enjoy their engagement photos. We had a lot of fun during this shoot and I’m so happy with how the images turned out!

Rustic Barn Wedding

Mike & Jessica were married at the Rustic Wedding Barn and the wedding was absolutely gorgeous! The venue has such a beautiful parlour for the girls to get ready, which makes my job so much easier and a lot more fun! The Sandilands was the perfect location for their wedding party photos and I’m so glad I finally got to shoot a wedding there! Definitely worth the drive. Enjoy!

la lune wedding

This wedding was even more beautiful then I could have imagined. And I was anticipating a knock-out wedding from these two. I have had such a fantastic time getting to know Jason and Kayla since photographing their proposal about a year ago. They are two of the sweetest, most genuine people you will meet and it is a beautiful thing to see two people so completely in love.
