So by now you’ve probably gathered that I am quite bad at blogging. When it comes to my business it’s pretty much at the bottom of my to-do list and that needs to change! I did say I was going to do a “Best of 2018” post, and I know we’re already five months into this year, but I figured better late than never so here we go!

2018, where do I even start with you?! This past year was such a whirlwind of events including some of the best of my life. I got to marry my best-est friend (who doesn’t have 4 legs) in the South of France, we bought a house together, I saw two of my favourite artists ever (The Foo Fighters and Drake), spent a week under the sun in the Dominican, and got to hang out with sooo many awesome couples on their wedding day! 2018 also included a lot of sweet families that invited me into their lives to capture some beautiful moments.

Every year I compile a list of things I want to do for my business and in my personal life, so I figured it might be fun to add to this post so you can follow along too!

get married
buy a house
travel
have my work featured
book some awesome weddings
go to five concerts, which is my usual each year but didn't happen because of the above items lol
swim in new places
go camping, also didn't happen because of the above things, whomp whomp!
try new restaurants
get to know our new city!
shoot a destination wedding

Although I may have missed a few items on my list, I think I had an incredible year and am very lucky to be able to do this job! Thank you again to all of my amazing couples and families from 2018 and soooorry, not sorry for all the photos in this post!

Check out my Best of 2017 post here!

Some photos shot for Paula Visco, Pam Kriangkum, Kayla Yestal, and Emily Michelson.

Ciera and Steven met while she was on vacation in the Dominican Republic and he was living there, running a restaurant with his dad.  Mutual friends wanted to introduce Ciera to someone her own age so she could experience the beautiful country with a friend.  They brought Ciera to a bar one night where Steven was on stage singing and playing the guitar – and it was love at first sight!  They spent every day together after that and knew they wanted to spend their lives together.  They travelled back and forth from Canada and the Dominican to be with each other. They decided that in order for this relationship to last, he would need to make a move to Canada.

They decided to get married shortly after he arrived.  They picked the home of the same mutual friends that introduced them to be the site of their wedding.  Since things moved very quickly, their wedding rings were purchased from a pawn shop in the Dominican Republic.  The names engraved on the rings showed that they had previously belonged to “Edwin” and “Rafael”.  Short, sweet, hilarious, and perfect.  Two years later, they couldn’t be happier to have found each other. They decided to celebrate their love and relationship with a stylish in home session where they could enjoy each other’s company and cuddle all day long!

Sooooooo freakin' excited to say this shoot was published over on Once Wed!
