At the heart of my work are values shaped by presence and being intentional in my approach. These values are my commitment to how I show up, observe, and document.
I focus on what’s already there — the real, quiet, unplanned moments that hold the most meaning. I’m drawn to honest emotion and the in-between moments that can’t be directed or recreated. What matters most to me is that your photos reflect what truly happened and how it actually felt.
Connection
I never want to feel like a stranger on your wedding day which is why I try to take time to get to know you, make you laugh, and create a sense of ease so you feel comfortable being yourself. When there’s trust and connection, the camera fades into the background and I believe this helps produce images that feel natural and authentic.
I’ve always been someone who tunes into the emotional energy of a space and how people are feeling in it. This intuition helps me move through the day in a way that feels supportive, present, and responsive to what’s happening emotionally. I use that awareness to guide my choices and offer support in a way that feels aligned with each couple and their unique experience.
Artistic integrity is about staying true to what’s real and being open to the beauty that surrounds each moment. I document things as they are, while bringing a creative eye that reflects the feeling and emotion of the day. I believe you can find beauty wherever you go, you just need to take the time to quietly observe it.

If I had to sum myself up, it would be this: I love making people laugh, and I genuinely care about creating experiences that feel meaningful. My work is rooted in modern, editorial imagery with a documentary approach. But above all, it’s grounded in creating a space where you feel comfortable, open, and fully yourself. How you feel in front of the camera matters to me, and I want that experience to feel effortless.
I’ve been photographing weddings in Toronto, the GTA, and around the world for over ten years. I studied photography at Sheridan College, originally drawn to editorial and fashion work, which still influences how I approach portraits today. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me with my cat Peakie, going on what I call “old lady walks” at 7am, taking photos of the moon on my iPhone when it looks especially magical, or eating just about anything that involves cheese.
Peakie, a Scottish Straight who totally thinks she’s the only cat in the world, came to live with me at the start of the pandemic. And yes, she’s named after Peaky Blinders (even though there isn’t a 1920’s gangster bone in her body).
Peakie loves to sit with me when I’m editing wedding photos. I like to think she’s giving her final blessing. When she’s not laying beside me while I work, she’s likely in her 6 ft cat tower sleeping, in my room sleeping, or on the floor sleeping.
I'm a big lover of travelling and exploring new places. I consider myself incredibly lucky that I have been given opportunities to photograph destination weddings and adventurous engagement sessions in places like Australia, Italy, New York, Kelowna B.C, and more! I have a wealth of experience in guiding you through a destination wedding and am happy to travel anywhere!
