Cassandra + Dustin Wedding - Best Western Plus NorWester Hotel
Cassandra and Dustin made it official last week and I was lucky enough to be hired to capture their wedding day. Outdoor weddings in October are always a toss up with the weather, but everything worked out absolutely perfect! The location was the always beautiful Best Western Plus Norwester. With the backdrop of the fall colours, you couldn’t ask for a better setting for a wedding.

Melissa + Alex Wedding - Spirit Garden
As much as I love photographing full wedding days, every once in a while it’s nice to do a small and short wedding. Case in point, Melissa and Alex had their wedding last month at the Spirit Garden at the Marina here in Thunder Bay. They invited their closest friends and family, and it was a very sweet wedding.

Andrea + Brendan Wedding - Naturally Superior Adventures
Even though most of my weddings are around the Thunder Bay area, every once in a while I’m asked to travel out of town, which I always look forward to. This time around, Andrea and Brendan asked if I would be interested in shooting their wedding at Naturally Superior Adventures, and I of course, said yes!
