FAQ

What is your booking process?

A 20% non-refundable deposit, a signed contract, and a big ol’ high five. 

Can we arrange a meeting before our wedding day?

Absolutely! I never book a wedding without meeting the couple first to ensure that we’re a perfect fit. We can grab a coffee, a drink, or arrange a Zoom / FaceTime date!

Do you travel for weddings?

A million times yes! I’ll have my bags packed and will see you at the airport, ready to boogie.

How many photos do you deliver?

I do not limit the amount of photos I send you – the more the merrier. I also don’t guarantee a number of images because every event is so very different. On average, you’ll receive about 70-80 images for every hour we spend together. My editing process includes culling the not-so-good images, and editing the beautiful ones, so you can love every single minute of browsing your album. 

Do you charge for travel outside of the GTA?

I do! 100km round trip (from Toronto) are covered and included in my rate. Any additional kilometres are calculated at $0.72/km (Ontario’s 2025 mileage rates). This is applied to all types of shoots, including weddings!

Where should we do our shoot?

Somewhere meaningful! Your home, your favourite park, where you had your first date, where you met. I can recommend many spots if you’re feeling stuck!

When do we get our photos?

8-10 weeks (approximately) for Weddings, and 2-3 weeks for everything else (on the later side during peak season). I always send a fun sneakpeek album within a week of your wedding or shoot to keep up the EXCITEMENT!

What do I wear to my shoot?

Wear what makes you feel comfortable and beautiful. Make sure you can sit, lay down, run and twirl. Outfit changes are welcome! 

Can we reschedule if it rains?

Yes! Pending availability, we can either reschedule our shoot or ~YOLO~ and embrace the rain together (The Notebook style photoshoot, anyone?)

I've been sitting on SO many freaking CUTE shoots I've been sitting on SO many freaking CUTE shoots from last year, and I'm so excited to finally start sharing some... starting with this cute ass family 😩. We had the loveliest picnic in the park, we were blessed with some sexy weather (manifesting sunshine at the moment), AND Ellie and I became BFFs4life. Can I ask for anything more?!⁠

SO VERY EXCITED to announce that Emily & Madison’s gooooorgeous wedding from last year was featured on @togetherjournal !! Could not think of one more deserving 🥹. SO much love and detail went into every aspect of this wedding, thanks to Emily’s a) TALENT (check out her designs at @studio.adieu ) and b) insane eye for detail. So so honored, as always, to have been a part of this day, alongside a badass group of vendors ⚡️🪩

Another year with CHEYCHEY & MIKE 🫶🏼. This w Another year with CHEYCHEY & MIKE 🫶🏼. This was one of these shoots where I walked away thinking... oh shit, did we get any good photos? But once again, I realized that the family shoots that are cray-cray chaotic are the ones that end up being my absolute favourite. There were fairies used as collateral and some serious debating between Fina and I (she gave me a run for my money for real). I LOVE how our shoots keep evolving as Chey & Mike's babies grow, and I already can't wait for next year's 🥹.⁠
