Stratford, Ontario Engagement Photography

A terrific little gem of a city, Stratford, Ontario marvels me every time I visit. Its charm, the texture and endless photography backgrounds make for fabulous Wedding photography and Engagement photography sessions. I always look forward to visiting, and my shoot with my bride and groom, Melanie and Neil was no exception. The photos just took themselves, and I was so happy with the finished product. Here are some samples from our shoot together - needless to day I can't wait for the big day!

Whistle Bear - Cambridge, Ontario Wedding - Alex & Matt get married!

After a long cold winter in Ontario, it seems as though we have finally been blessed with nice Spring weather! Alex & Matt's gorgeous wedding at Cambridge's eloquent Whistle Bear Golf and Country Club couldn't have been nicer!

All in all, it really was one of those weddings where I felt like I could have been wearing a bridesmaid dress and gotten away with it. The entire wedding party were so amazing, fun, chill, happy go lucky, quick to smile, gorgeous, full of laughs, and 100% totally there for their friends Alex and Matt.

What made this wedding one-of-a-kind for me, was the fact that the brides gorgeous mum HANDMADE the wedding gown! AND ALL the bouquets/boutonnieres! The level of talent and creativity displayed at this wedding and by the bride and her mum was astounding. I have SO much appreciation for crafty talented folks! The bride and groom had informed me that they had been very hands on with all their wedding decor and details, which I love. It just has this way of adding a super personal touch to the day, and having your personality shine through all those little magical touches that make the day even more memorable.

It made me so happy to have been there for them that day, and I'm pleased to post some fun samplers from their day. As always, Whistle Bear shined with their impeccable service, and luxurious venue. A very big thank you, Whistle Bear for being such amazing hosts!

Christmas Studio sessions at Herakovic Photography!

Last weekend, at Herakovic Photography's new studio, we opened a mega can of Christmas here, did we ever have a blast! We photographed about 20 families, who came, smiled, laughed and threw snow around with reckless abandon!

We now have tons more space to work with in the new studio, and we definitely out it to good use! We invited families to bring cozy Christmas pjs, set up 6 Christmas trees, had a 10 gallon pail full of 'snow' and we let 'er rip! Thank goodness for shop vacs. We're certain we (and our clients!) will be finding snow around their house and in the dryer until Spring.

Here are some samplings of the fun we had with our lovely clients. Already, the wheels are turning for NEXT Christmas's portrait sessions and how we can go bigger and better!! #brainstorm!

New Life - an Ontario newborn photography session @ Herakovic Photography

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing a gorgeous newborn baby boy, just 11 days old in the new studio. Newborn Photography has really evolved in the past few years, and become a huge trend! It's something I enjoy immensely, but holding back from planting a million kisses on these babies is pretty tough! This little man is blessed to have a proud big sister who loves the heck out of him!

Here are a few shots from both of the in-studio segment as well as at their family home.
