karissa + dave | charming Compass Rose Wedding in Prince Edward County

In 2018 I photographed a stunning wedding in Toronto for two lovely humans, Vanessa and Rob. Little did I know that I would meet two more incredible people on this day, who would just walk into my life, be huge supporters of my work and become friends (and clients!) along the way, Karissa and Dave. From the second I met Karissa, we connected. She is just the kindest person ever, always smiling, always supportive and I just love her to bits. Dave, couldn’t be a better match for Karissa and over the last 4 years, I have been SO lucky to not only watch their beautiful relationship grow, but document their love along the way. Fun fact: I was in the know when Dave was going to propose in Iceland, and when they got back, we did an engagement shoot in the Beaches.

Of course, like most couples, they had a lot of hiccups and changes with their wedding while the pandemic happened but thank goodness, I was always on the top of their list for “does this date work for you?” so I could still be there no matter what. Thank goodness, because they truly planned the best day…

From the stunning venue of Compass Ross, to the locally sourced florals by Early Grey, to the outdoor ceremony, to the best food by Hawley Crescent, or even to her bridesmaid singing the first dance songs… everything was PERFECT. Not to mention, have you seen Karissas dreamy Luna Bea dress from Lovers Land? or Daves burgandy suit? Everything was THEM and they planned the most fun day filled with things that represented who they are as a couple while keeping the day so beautiful and relaxed.

K + D, to say I love you to is an understatement. I am so darn thankful to of met you both but to have been the person to document your day. It was perfection and I can’t wait to see you two and your newest addition soon xoxo

robyn + scott | rustic chic farm wedding in Hartington

As a wedding photographer, you are always hoping to find people who share your same outlook on life, who trust you and your crazy ideas, who make you laugh and just people you want to hang out with on the regular. Well I 10000000% found that in Robyn + Scott. I also have been so lucky to of documented quite a few of their friends weddings too (like Rachel + Matt at Fanshawe Pioneer Village or Rebecca and Pat at Berekley Church or Rosie + Dave at the Story’s Building or Christina and Zach in Grand Bend and Shane + Andrea’s camp wedding at Bark Lake Leadership Centre in Haliburton), all of whom are my kind of people. Nothing means more to me then a friend or client recommending me to someone dear to them, so thank you thank you THANK YOU #teammegan!

Robyn, who is quite the crafty and creative bad-ass business woman(be sure to check out her incredible handwoven skills here), nailed it when it came to the planning and details of their wedding. Every little detail was so beautiful from the Shisha table with string lights and pillows to the black candles and vintage holders to the hand written name tags on plant paper (you plant your name tag and watch it grow!!). Scott had a part in this too I might add haha he built some of the wooden details including the Shisha table for their guests!

In addition to all the beautiful details, Robyns moms property and farm couldn’t of been a more perfect location surrounded by fall colours, long grass and beautiful gardens.

Robyn and Scott, I love you guys and cant wait to see you again. I am truly honoured to of been a part of your day. It will forever be a favorite

marlise + troy | stormy Brady Creek Ranch wedding in Invermere BC

In 2006, in between programs in college, I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life and hadn’t any clue what that was. To gather my thoughts and experience something a little different, I applied to a bunch of jobs out in British Colombia and Alberta to make some money while seeing a new place (and hopefully figuring out what is next!). I told myself the first company to call me back, that’s where I will go. I did just that! I received a call about being a beverage cart girl in Radium, B.C and said “Sure!” and booked my flight the next day.

When I got to Radium, I met some amazing people and then, ended up living with them as well. Marlise is one of those people. Marlise and I got along perfectly from day one and from there until now, even though provinces apart, still have kept in touch and see other when we can (although we need to more!).

About a year ago Marlise wrote me asking if I would ever come back west and if I would want to photograph her wedding. I of course jumped at the opportunity. Marlise and Troy planned the most relaxed, beautiful day at Brady Creek Ranch in Invermere B.C. The ranch is a stunning property on the water, surrounded by mountains, has a barn for a reception space and two different houses for getting ready and celebrating in. Their day, although filled with storms and rain, was truly perfection.

Marlise + Troy (and Parker, the most adorable boy, their son), thank you for the most incredible experience. I can’t imagine not being there. You surround yourselves with my kind of people and your wedding will always be one of my favorites. Love you guys xo
