While there can certainly be a "Wedding" within an "Elopement", for the purpose of the above packages - The term "Elopement" refers to a celebration or gathering of you and your loves ones that doesn't exceed 30 people. Once you have more than 30 guests - we would be looking at my "Wedding" packages and can easily swap the conversation to that direction!

My approach to wedding photography combines documentary and editorial styles. This means that your photos will be a perfect blend of candid authenticity and stylish artistry. Throughout your wedding day, I'll be quietly capturing moments as they unfold. Occasionally, I’ll provide some posing directions, but only when it’s welcomed and unobtrusive. 

My time as an Ottawa wedding photographer has taught me that capturing authentic moments is the key to great wedding photos, and I’ve found that the best way to achieve that authenticity is through offering light direction only when necessary. I’ll offer posing suggestions based on the lighting and surrounding environment (minimal things like, “walk this way” and “look at each other”), all while keeping things laid back and totally relaxed! 

My priority is making you feel comfortable so you can be yourselves together because that’s when you look your best!

You can be as involved or uninvolved in the process as you’d like! Everyone’s elopement is different, and whether you choose to take a simple approach to photographing your wedding day, or opt for something more elaborate, your level of participation is entirely up to you. We can sort that out when we chat!

Yes! I always encourage my couples to add a little nostalgic flair to their photo gallery with 35mm film photography or a super 8 video. For more info on how to add wedding film photography & Super 8 in Ottawa (and beyond), check out my Wedding Photography Price & Information Guide, which you’ll see receive once you send me your initial inquiry.

Don’t worry if you want to keep the celebration going longer than scheduled. I’ll never leave you hanging! Additional coverage is always possible for an extra charge. You can see the pricing details for additional coverage in my Wedding Photography Price & Information Guide you will receive once you inquire!

When I’m editing, my goal is to make the photos feel as “true to life” and natural as possible. I want you to look at your photos and be taken back to how the day felt. That being said, if there’s a stain, blemish or anything that wouldn’t be there 2 weeks after the wedding, I will remove it! 

Embrace it! Rain can add such an incredible energy to your photos, and rain on your wedding day is such a fun memory to have. Just know that if you’re out in the rain, I’ll be out there with you too! 

If we’re caught in the rain while we’re taking portraits, we can find a sheltered area to explore and get unique shots we might not have discovered otherwise. 

And if it starts raining while we’re outdoors at your ceremony, I’ll be there through it all, capturing the beauty of the day no matter what the weather throws at us!

I always have extra gear on me in case something malfunctions. I also use weather-resistant gear so that we can keep capturing incredible shots even in the rain!

The more the merrier! Certain packages do have a max guest count we’ll need to be mindful of, so be sure to consult the info in my Ottawa Elopement Photography Price & Information Guide, which I’ll send this once you inquire. We can go over that info together and make sure we find a package that includes all the people (and animals) who matter most to you!

I’m more than happy to help you realize your vision for the photoshoot of your dreams! However, working from a rigid, predetermined shot list can often do more harm than good. They can limit creativity and detract from the natural flow of the day, which is essential to great wedding photography. 

Everything’s fine in moderation, though! If there is a particular shot you want to recreate and it won’t take away from your wedding events, we can definitely make it happen!

Yes! As an Ottawa wedding photographer, I consider the city my home base, but I’m always ready to travel anywhere you need me to be. For shoots 200+ km from Ottawa, there is a flat domestic travel rate of $400, and for international travel the fee varies depending on the location of the venue.

Yes! My gear and my services are all fully insured to make sure nothing is left to chance.
