Muskoka & Barrie Wedding Photographer
TIMELESS IMAGES
FOR MUSKOKA COUPLES
EVEN IF YOU DON’T LOVE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED.
I’m a wedding photographer based in Orillia, photographing weddings throughout Muskoka’s cottage country and Barrie. From beautiful resorts in Huntsville and Bracebridge to private waterfront weddings in Gravenhurst, my style blends natural colour with timeless black and white to capture your day as it really happened - relaxed and full of real emotion.
Muskoka weddings have a relaxed rhythm of their own. For couples who want timeless, candid coverage without turning the day into a production, you’re in the right place.

Muskoka & Barrie Wedding PhotographerI believe your wedding day should feel natural, not staged. My approach is simple: I create space for you to be fully present while I capture the moments as they naturally unfold.
I’m married with two incredible girls - nothing scares me anymore. When I’m not photographing weddings, you’ll find me cheering on the Maple Leafs (condolences appreciated), enjoying hard-shell tacos, or diving into documentaries and podcasts over morning coffee.
I enjoy traveling, and I’m always ready for an adventure. Whether I’m capturing weddings across Muskoka, Barrie and Orillia or exploring somewhere abroad, I’ll fly anywhere for an I Do.
My Style
CLEAN. CANDID. TIMELESS.
My style is all about capturing your story candidly. I focus on creating clean, timeless images that showcase your connection with each other, your family and your friends. I photograph your day as it naturally unfolds, but with an artistic touch.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?
The short answer is 12 to 18 months in advance if you’re getting married on a summer or fall. For off-peak or weekday dates, you’ll usually have more flexibility and can often book comfortably within 6 to 12 months. Learn more →
We’re awkward in front of the camera - can you help?
Absolutely. Most couples tell me this at first. My approach is relaxed and guided, so you’re never left wondering what to do - but never overly posed either. The goal is to help you feel comfortable and present, so your photos look natural and genuinely like you.
Where are you located?
I photograph weddings in Muskoka primarily. That said, I live in Orillia on the southern end of this large Muskoka region and typically shoot in the Barrie - Huntsville - Parry Sound triangle. Destination weddings have also played a big role in my success - I’ll fly anywhere for an I Do!
How many hours of wedding photography do we need?
It depends on your plans and priorities. For many couples, 5 hours is a solid starting point that covers the most meaningful parts of the day while keeping things relaxed and stress-free

How long until we receive our photos??
Typically, you’ll receive your images within one to two weeks, depending on my schedule at that time.
How do we book you for our wedding?
I like to keep things straightforward - just a 30% retainer and a signed contract, and you're all set. After that, we dive into the fun part!
Do you need a shot list?
A family formal list is always helpful, but beyond that, I focus on capturing your day as it naturally unfolds. Sticking to a shot list can take away from the authenticity of your photos. That said, if there’s a specific shot that’s important to you, let me know!
