Still working through posting my massive archive o Still working through posting my massive archive of unposted work 🤠 it's unlikely I will ever catch up, so may as well just post for fun!

This one is from E&B's wedding in September 2024. I do city stuff sometimes, too!
I don't speak often about politics but felt the ne I don't speak often about politics but felt the need to clearly state my stance on the above topics.

My job is to celebrate people and their love. Marriage is inherently political. Many of my clients are queer. Many are immigrants. I know I am in Canada but fascism has been bleeding through our borders already and I am not here for it. Respect and human rights are non-negotiables for me.

I'm not interested in arguing in the comments or DMs. If you disagree just unfollow me 👋🏼

Happy New Year y'all!! 🥳🎊 I am so grateful for al Happy New Year y'all!! 🥳🎊

I am so grateful for all of the wonderful clients I've worked with and the weddings I got to be a part of this past year. Thank you all for trusting me and my lil business. 🥹

Things were a bit different this year, as I took on less work and even had to have a few weddings covered by associates (thank you endlessly @kendracicelyphoto & @keamowatphotography) due to having our daughter in July.

Wishing everyone a beautiful 2026 full of joy, love and adventures. 🕊️

Can't wait to celebrate their big day on Denman next summer!

This one is a bit personal. 🌈 Today is Pregnancy This one is a bit personal. 🌈

Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day and while these babies may not have been around long, they still left an imprint on our hearts. So many of us carry around the often invisible grief of losing a baby. 

In the summer after my first miscarriage we hiked the North Coast Trail and one morning saw this beautiful double rainbow. It felt like a sign and that moment has always stuck with me.

Today I feel so fortunate to be holding my three month old daughter while writing this, but still can't help but wonder who the other ones would have become. 

Sending my love to all the grieving mamas out there ❤️‍🩹 your love is real and your pain matters.
