5th Annual Nokiiwin Tribal Council Unity Gathering
I had the pleasure of photographing a small portion of the 5th Annual Nokiiwin Tribal Council Unity Gathering that took place on Mount McKay earlier this month. The highlight was definitely the powwow, which saw a host of different drum groups and dancers.
Kahla + Kyle Wedding - Centennial Conservatory
With things pretty much back to normal for weddings, it was refreshing to photograph a very small and intimate wedding with Kayla and Kyle at the Centennial Conservatory. I do like large weddings, but it’s nice to switch it up once in a while.
Hannah + Chris Family Session
My first time meeting Hannah and Chris was during their maternity session last year. Fast forward to this year, and it was time for a family get together to celebrate their wedding. It was awesome seeing their newest addition to the family as well as the rest of their family, this time around. I had a great time capturing a mix of posed and mostly candid photos.
Alanah + Brenden Wedding - Fort William Historical Park
What can I say about Alanah and Brenden’s Wedding day? Only that it was so much fun and I can’t believe how fast the whole day flew by. I started with Alanah and the girls getting ready at their mom’s house. I was able to get a few details before they showed up and then a lot candid moments.
Nikolas + Family Portraits - Tree Farm
It wasn't easy, but Nikolas and his family managed to get his grandparents out for a quick portrait session at the Tree Farm. It was a very sweet and funny session. I did my best to get a smile out of his grandmother, and I succeeded a couple times. His grandfather had the best catchphrase too, responding with the occasional ‘oh brother!’ when asked to do something. All in all, good times out at the Tree Farm.
WineOh! 2022 - Thunder Bay Marina
This past weekend saw an amazing event called WineOh! take place at the Thunder Bay Marina. There were a wide variety of local vendors showcasing some fantastic wines, all in one of the nicest venues in the city.
Kim + Family Portraits - Boundary Drive
I’m so lucky to have families that I get to capture photos of as the years go by. They are definitely the most fun sessions. One of the reasons I enjoy them so much is watching how the kids grow up, and how their personalities change. It’s just such a joy. Kim and her family are one of my favourites, and this session was an absolute blast, out in the country where some of them live. Check out some of the highlights below.
AJ + Precious Wedding - The Chanterelle
Having just done AJ + Precious’ engagement photos a month earlier, it felt like their wedding came so quick. From what I heard too, it was organized somewhat last minute too, which you wouldn’t have even been able to tell. It was just the perfect wedding, and I’m so thankful I was a part of it.
Joelle + Family Portraits - Birch Beach
Some of my favourite portrait sessions are the ones out at camp on the lake. It’s impossible not to come away with great photos. It of course helps when photographing beautiful and fun families like Joelle’s. I’m so happy they invited me out for a family session. I love how the photos turned out.
Sheila + Trevor Wedding - Fort William Historical Park
My first wedding of the year at Fort William Historical Park with Sheila and Trevor was a really sweet one. It was a small wedding, which is my favourite kind, seeing as how they are always so intimate. It just so happened that one of the biggest events of the year, Country on the Bay, was also taking place about 200 feet away. You wouldn’t have known it though, which is a good thing.
Sue + Family Portraits - Centennial Conservatory
Originally we were supposed to do Sue’s family session outside at Centennial Park, but with thunderstorms looming, she suggested the Conservatory. The weather ended up holding out long enough but I’m super happy we stuck with the Conservatory. It made for a very beautiful setting for photos. Everyone had a great time and I just love how the photos turned out.
Sara + Eric Wedding - Best Western Plus Nor'Wester Hotel
It was my second wedding of the summer at NorWester Hotel. Once again the weather held up, but it was definitely a hot day for a wedding. Sara and Eric actually got married in a small intimate ceremony the previous year, but they wanted to do it again, this time in front of family.
Definitely Superior Art Gallery - La Francophonie Gala Opening
Here are some highlights from yet another wonderful art exhibit put on by Definitely Superior Art Gallery.
Precious + Anthony Engagement - Centennial Park
Precious and Anthony’s wedding is at the end of the month, which I am so excited for. The booked me relatively last minute, so I was really happy when they also had the time to do an engagement session. The location they chose was Centennial Park, which ended up being perfect, even though the mosquitos were out.
Jen + Roy Wedding - The Chanterelle
Every once in a while, I get to photography a family wedding. This was one of those times, and it was such a good day. Jen and Roy’s wedding took place at The Chanterelle, which made for a very small intimate day.
The ceremony took place on location, and then afterwards we headed to the Law School up the street for some outdoor photos. After a small break, dinner and dancing was back at The Chanterelle. Congratulations to Jen and Roy!
Maria + Justin Wedding - Lakeshore Drive
My latest wedding was right on Lake Superior, and it was absolutely beautiful. It’s always amazing to see the amount of work that goes into these outdoor weddings, and I’m often left speechless. Maria and Justin, were such a beautiful couple to capture for the day, and it was also great seeing all of their close family and friends celebrate such a special day.
Katarzyna + Sean Wedding - The Chanterelle
My wedding with Katarzyna and Sean was yet another memorable one. I know I can say that about every wedding, but perhaps I’m just lucky that I have the luck of capturing awesome couples My day started with Sean and his family getting ready. I always love weddings where I get to photograph the bride and groom getting ready. It gives me a chance to ease into the day and of course, meet the family.
Caitlynn + Eric Engagement - Trow Bridge Falls
Caitlynn and Eric have their wedding set for next year, but they decided to do an engagement session at Trow Bridge Falls. I don’t always get to meet wedding couples before their wedding, so I was super excited to not only meet Caitlynn + Eric, but also spend some time getting to know them and capture some photos in the process.
Vanessa + Nick Wedding - Best Western Plus Nor'Wester Hotel
I was so happy that the weather held up for Vanessa and Nick’s outdoor wedding at the Best Western Plus Nor’Wester Hotel last month. It was a bit windy, but everything went according to plan. Well, aside from the bride and her bridesmaids running a little late. I don’t know of any wedding that has gone exactly to plan though!
