chantel + andrew | mayan riviera, mexico

Recently, I was at the H10 Hotel in Puerto Morelos photographing Britton + Lex‘s wedding, and Chantel, one of Britton’s bridesmaids, approached me to ask about photographing her and Andrew in a couple’s session (like an engagement shoot without the engaged part of it – just in case there was any confusion haha). Chantel and...

wendy + shane | the day after the wedding | tulum, mexico

One of my favourite things about shooting a destination wedding is doing a photography session with the bride and groom the day after their wedding.  It isn’t for everyone; it requires the couple to get dressed up again and to spend a few hours out in the hot sun while most of their guests relax...

My sister got married!!!  My older sister Catherine has made it official, marrying her main squeeze, Jason, in a beautiful west coast wedding in Black Tusk Village, Whistler.  The setting was gorgeous…a quiet community of homes and cabins nestled amongst the forest on the outskirts of town.  As Cat’s maid of honor, I was on...

The day after Virginia and Sonny’s wedding, we all decided to forgo relaxing on the beach in favour of an artistic photo shoot in some authentic Mexican locations.  We started the session on the beach, and then ventured into the town of Tulum, a market area, and ended with our favourite, a breathtaking turquoise blue...
