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

It’s no secret that Whispering Springs is one of my favorite Ontario Wedding Venues. I LOVE that 1-3 times a year, I get to drive to Prince Edward County to be at this beautiful and dreamy Glamping Wedding Venue. I feel so at home here :)

Now this wedding is the wedding of Tamara and Patrick, who were one of my “no matter what!!” couples for 2021. No matter what happened with the Pandemic (and uncertainty that came with it), they were getting married. All that mattered was marrying their best friend and well, I of course am all for that.

Leading up to their day, two weeks prior to their original date, they had to move their wedding. They were patient, calm and went with the flow and thankfully, even with last minute date changes, they were still able to have most of their friends and family present. It was a day full of emotion, laughs and so so much beauty. From the second I arrived, their friends and family were SO kind and caring.

Not only were these two perfect, and their day, but it was a team of all-stars when it came to the vendor team with Hugh Whitaker (at my side, who I called in last minute and he was so amazing as always), Kath Films on Video, Flower Treasures and more!

Thank you Tamara and Patrick xoxo
