Even though Jennifer and Jason live in Southern Ontario, they decided to have their wedding here in Thunder Bay with family. The location, their parents’ camp out on Pass Lake. It was definitely one of the most beautiful settings I have had the pleasure of being at for a wedding. Luckily I was there from the afternoon to the late evening, which allowed me to spend some quality time with everyone.

Lisa + Claudio Wedding - The Chanterelle
Lisa and Claudio finally got to celebrate their wedding earlier this week. After a few postponements, I’m so thankful it still happened like they wanted it to. It was a very small and intimate wedding at The Chanterelle, which ended up being perfect. The ceremony itself was short and sweet. Anyone who knows Lisa and Claudio, would not be surprised the attention to detail for everything about the wedding.

Caylene + Tim Wedding
As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, backyard weddings are becoming the new normal, and also my favourite type of wedding. One of the main reasons why I enjoy photographing smaller weddings, is that you get to spend more time with the immediate family. Plus, they tend to be a lot more laid back, which lends itself to many more candid moments. Which I’m all about.

Jennifer + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
Even with forest fires looming far off in the distance and extremely hot weather, Jennifer and her family still joined me for a mini session at Centennial Park the other evening. One of her sisters wasn’t able to make it, but we still had a great time capturing some formal portraits and a few candid ones as well. I swear we laughed most of the session too! All in all, it was a lot of fun, and I’m already looking forward to a potential session in September with all of Jennifer’s family.

Graduation was definitely different this year for all the students. I had a few families reach out to me to do grad sessions with their family. It was actually the best of both worlds.

It ended up being the perfect afternoon for a family portrait session. Alyssa and Nathan joined me, with their children at Trow Bridge Falls. It was also a graduation session as well, which you should be able to tell from the photos below. At first all the kids were a bit chilly, but it only took about 5 minutes for them to warm up, after running to each location, and around the playground. It felt really good being out in the nice weather capturing portraits again!
