This elopement at Stillwater on the Lake was one of the most beautiful elopements I've attended. The bride and groom are so much in love and everything went perfectly. And, these two jumped into a canoe to paddle around Chemong Lake for a fun time and some great photos. It was absolutely amazing and I'm happy I could be a part of it. 

I recently met two couples who tied the knot at Cobourg Victoria Town Hall. I love these types of weddings, where everything is relaxed and intimate. There is no pressure of many people watching you, people arriving late for your wedding, waiting for RSVPs, doing a head count for food, etc., etc., etc. These couple were surrounded by family and a few friends who witnessed their vows and commitment to each other. Afterwards, each couple walked to Cobourg beach ad boardwalk for some photos. It's perfect with the beach being so close to the ceremony site.

So happy for Ashton & Tana on their wedding day. Tana wore her mother's very delicate diamond necklace and looked gorgeous in her dress with her beautiful bouquet. Ashton looked dashing (I got laughed at for that word!) in his custom made suit. A gorgeous couple on the grounds of the gorgeous Stillwater on the Lake. Just a perfect intimate elopement for these two. ​

The day was so perfect for Angie & Rene's elopement at Stillwater on the Lake just outside Peterborough, Ontario. They eloped in a quiet intimate ceremony by the shores of Chemong Lake. And look at Angie's bouquet! An absolute gorgeous arrangement of flowers and feathers. She custom designed it to represent a gift from mother earth. The feather are pheasant, turkey and partridge symbolizing respect, honour, strength, courage and wisdom. These feathers also adorned their wedding cake. Indeed, it was an honour to be present for their vows and to capture this moment for them.

Madeleine and Shawn tied the knot in an intimate elopement at Stillwater on the Lake in Peterborough Ontario. The gazebo overlooks Chemong Lake and makes for a beautiful backdrop. Both Madeleine and Shawn's mothers were present to witness their children getting married. It was such a touching moment and I was honoured to be a part of their special day.

We photographed Danielle and Brandon's engagement session at Cobourg Beach and had so much fun with them. And their wedding was no different. Beautiful and laid back with all their friends and family around them. Take a look at a few photos from their special day. 

This little slice of heaven where Diana and Illia eloped is called Stillwater on the Lake, just outside Peterborough, Ontario on Chemong Lake. In the first photo, Diana is walking down the Dahlia Walkway to meet her husband to be at the gazebo right on the water. In the last photo, they are both walking back up the Dahlia walkway. They did their first look by the Gazebo overlooking Chemong Lake and we took some amazing photos in the gardens. This place is absolutely beautiful and filled with colour of plants and flowers. It's truly an amazing place elope and get married.

What's fun about an outside birthday and cake smash photo session? Everything!! The birthday girl or boy can let loose, have fun and indulge. The parents have no worry about clean up, the birds and squirrels love it too! And the photographer gets to laugh and get some great shots. The best yet is the warm tub of water the baby gets to sit in and play. We provide everything. You just bring the baby!

This intimate elopement at Stillwater on the Lake outside of Peterborough was absolutely gorgeous surrounded by lush greenery and flowers. Christina and Bill tied the know at the lakeside gazebo decorated to the nines with flowers and made their ceremony spectacular. Along with their two witnesses, we enjoyed the gardens taking our time for photos. 

Taking maternity photos at the beach is special. For this maternity session we chose an evening shoot for the lower sun angles. The weather was perfect with the setting sun, and the gentle waves and warmer water. While we photographed Jaycee, her partner and her little boy played in the sand and enjoyed the water waiting for the moment they were needed in the photos. It turned out to be a magical session with some great photos!

With Jenn's makeup and hair trial done ready for her wedding in August, we took advantage of getting some beautiful engagement photos at Cobourg Beach and Boardwalk. The weather was perfect with the lower sun angles. Can't you just see the love they have for each other?

The idea behind an elopement is being relaxed and having fun...and these guys did exactly that! Sarah and Kyle totally rocked this day! And their best friends were there on hand to witness and celebrate their union. Kyle had not seen Sarah's dress and we did a first look right at the alter. After they said their vows and exchanged rings, they signed the marriage certificate. And then the fun began! And, of course, ended up with some smashed wedding cake in the face. Whose face? Well, scroll down to see! 

As photographers we have lots of patience. Especially with small kids and dogs but sometimes you just can't get the photo you want. However,I love this photo! It tells a story and that what photographers do. We can see the love this family has for their 3 dogs and that's what makes this photo so special. It might not be the one they print and hang on their wall, but it is definitely a memory.

This was such an amazing and beautiful wedding! The bride and groom looked stunning and could not stop smiling all day long. We enjoyed celebrating the union of two different cultures surrounded by their family and friends in a small backyard ceremony in Baltimore, Ontario. The scenery was so gorgeous and the day perfect. Congratulations to you both. 

A beautiful elopement at this little piece of heaven called Stillwater on the Lake just outside of Peterborough Ontario. Chelsea and Fernando enjoyed a lakeside view as they tied the knot and enjoyed saying their vows in an intimate ceremony.
