Six weeks in the making… and finally, the weather Six weeks in the making… and finally, the weather played along. 🤍

After postponing and waiting for the right conditions, the stars (and clouds) finally aligned for this surprise proposal at Lake Clearwater.

Snow-covered mountains, a beautiful lake, and one very big question.

Worth the wait? I think so. 🥹🏔️💍

Hi, its me… its been a minute since I’ve done one Hi, its me… its been a minute since I’ve done one of these posts and put my face on here, so here it is a little get to know your photographer.

1. I hate having my photo taken…  but I feel that this puts me in a unique position where I totally understand how you and your partner feel and so I am very good at making you feel at ease and can make having your photo taken fun…

2. I’ve been a wedding photographer for 8 years, I’ve honestly lost count of how many beautiful weddings I’ve captured, but its a lot ✨

3. Coffee ☕️always 

4. I love winter.. snow capped mountains with blue sky days ❄️

5. I will always get over excited if the light is perfect and everything is just right 🌅

6. Canon… I love my 28-70mm lens even though it weighs about as much as a 2 slice toaster 🍞 (google told me)

I still have some limited availablity for summer 26-27 and have opened my books for 2028, I’d love to hear your plans

t’s time to think about your engagement shoot ✨ I t’s time to think about your engagement shoot ✨

If you’re getting married next summer, now is the perfect time to start thinking about your engagement photos.

Engagement shoots are a beautiful chance to celebrate this season of your relationship, get comfortable in front of the camera and create some gorgeous images of the two of you before the wedding day arrives.

And honestly? They’re also a great excuse to get dressed up, head somewhere beautiful and spend a little time together.

I recommend booking your engagement shoot a few months before the wedding, especially if you’d like to use the images for your invitations, save-the-dates or wedding website.

Not sure what to wear, where to go or what to do in front of the camera? Don’t worry — I’ll guide you through it all.

If your wedding is coming up, now is the time to get your engagement shoot on the list. 🤍

Check out these photos for the location inspiration ✨

Peony fields…. Or any flower fields really… sunset in the blooms, there’s nothing quite like it 🌸

Dark and moody in the forest with the last of the sunshine filtering though 🌲

On top of the world…. There’s nothing quite like the view and the sunset on top of the Port Hills 🌅

Lakes & Mountain backdrops will always have my heart ⛰️ 

Sunset in the dunes 🏖️

Golden grasses in the evening light

POV: You’re on holiday with a photographer. A litt POV: You’re on holiday with a photographer. A little behind the scenes from one of those moments that wasn’t planned at all. ❄️

The light changes and suddenly your relaxing afternoon turns into an impromptu photoshoot.
Honestly though, this is exactly how’s some of my favourite images happen. No pressure, no expectations, just seeing the beautiful light and making the most of it.

These two were absolute legends for braving the cold ❄️🤍❄️
