One of my favorite moment during a wedding day is the excitement during the "Getting Ready" especially for the little ones. They are so excited and ready to have a special role to shine.⁠

I am my worst critic.⁠
.⁠
I always have been. As a competitive gymnast, I could often be found in a corner after a performance fuming on what I could have done better, should have done better.⁠
🤸🏻⁠
Competing on the World stage representing Canada as a Freestyle Aerialist, I have so many memories of how hard I was on myself despite my achievement or how encouraging others were around me.⁠
⛷️⁠
Interestingly, my passion for photography over the years developed a sense of belonging, a skill that runs deeper than being good at taking pretty pictures.⁠
📷⁠
I saw the honour I was given, every time someone would have the courage to look right at me (my camera), to trust me, to capture this moment in time for them with the unspoken promise that I was their "safe place" for a few precious hours.⁠
.⁠
All of a sudden that changed EVERYTHING, the world was no longer a question of being the best or perfect.⁠
🙅🏼‍♀️⁠
It became about connecting on a deeper level with whomever I crossed path, while being my whole self, flaws, quirks, heart on my sleeve and at time sailor mouth. In order words just putting my best effort out there but doing it authentically, with integrity, honesty and most of all passion and compassion.⁠
💛⁠
One week ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Madeline & Andrew, it was short & sweet but amazingly, I will remember them forever.⁠
.⁠
Within minutes our trust with one and other was established, they were completely unguarded and with a calm an self assured energy, I have rarely witnessed.⁠
.⁠
It was magic, it was sacred, it was hypnotising.⁠
.⁠
And then she looked straight at me.⁠
💥⁠
This will go down as one of my all time favorite images that I have captured because, I now know that you can't fake your way into getting that from a couple, you can't rush it and you don't deserve it if you put your ego first.⁠
☯️⁠
No photoshop, no fluff, natural light all the way and holding a space for them to shine fully because, it was never about me in the first place.⁠

Sometimes life works in mysterious ways.⁠
.⁠
The story of how I came about to meet T+A is one for the books or should I say one for a Blog Post!⁠
.⁠
From hitting it up as a quick and easy friendship to discovering so many common likes and values, these two gave me the biggest compliment by asking me to be their photographer for their very small wedding celebration.⁠
.⁠
Almost too good to be true, they were wonderfully cool, calm and collected and gave me complete "carte blanche" for their photography.⁠
.⁠
Waiting for the other shoe to drop, I allowed myself the guilty pleasure of exploring one of my favorite forest and a favorite walking path of mine. Both of those being less than ideal for a silky wedding dress and delicate shoes, I was fully prepared to be told to take it down a notch in the agility contest!⁠
.⁠
Not only did the other shoe never dropped, I was met with unbelievable "stoked" enthusiasm and praise for selecting areas that "felt perfect and inspiring" for both Tara & Adam.⁠
.⁠
To this day, I still cannot fully express the feeling of pure joy that embodies me when I realize that I am in perfect synchronicity with my clients on one of their most memorable life moment.⁠
.⁠
Pure Bliss & Gratitude.⁠

Blog Post to come in April as there is so much more to show and tell.⁠
