This post has been long overdue. 🤍 Meet our baby This post has been long overdue. 🤍

Meet our baby girl, Saanvi.
The past few months have been a blur of sleepless nights, happy tears, and the kind of love that’s impossible to explain until you live it.
She’s a smiling, sunshine-y little baby and has truly made our lives brighter in every way.
Feeling grateful beyond words.
The love story of Grace and Wesley is anything but The love story of Grace and Wesley is anything but ordinary. These two absolute cuties first crossed paths playing the flute at their local church, and yes, music has been at the heart of their journey ever since.

Just five weeks after meeting, Wesley had to leave Alaska. But before he did, he got Grace’s number. From there, the texts and calls never stopped, and soon, a long-distance relationship blossomed into something so much more.

On this special day, it only felt right to bring it full circle - flutes in hand, playing together again, just like when it all began.

Capturing their joy, laughter, and love was truly such a privilege ❤️❤️
I’ve been a little quiet here lately… and it’s bec I’ve been a little quiet here lately… and it’s because I’ve been keeping the sweetest little secret. 💛

We’re expecting our little miracle this October! 🌿✨

The past few months have been a whirlwind of changes, excitement, and lots of naps, but I’m so grateful for this season of life and can’t wait to share more with you. Thank you for being here, for your love, and for your patience while I took a step back.

Here’s to new beginnings, both big and small. 🍼💫

P.S. I'm still capturing smaller events, proposals, engagement shoots, elopements, and intimate weddings, so if you're looking for someone to capture your special day, please do reach out! I'd love to chat. 🤗

They read their vows in whispers, the kind that on They read their vows in whispers, the kind that only the wind and water were meant to hear.

No altar.
No crowd.
Just a boat, a breeze, and the kind of love that doesn’t need to be loud to be unforgettable.

This day wasn’t about perfection—it was about presence.
About two best friends promising forever in the quietest, truest way they knew how.

Sometimes, the most powerful “I love you” is the one said when no one else is listening.

If you’ve been dreaming of a wedding that feels like you—wild, warm, and deeply personal—let’s create something beautiful together.

Can’t get enough of days like this - when love mee Can’t get enough of days like this - when love meets wild landscapes, and time feels like it slows down just a little.
Kananaskis, you were pure magic with your towering peaks, still lakes, and quiet trails.
Days like these remind me why I do what I do.

Forever chasing the light, the love, and the moments in between.

🌊 Love is better with a splash! 🚣‍♀️💦 Your weddin 🌊 Love is better with a splash! 🚣‍♀️💦

Your wedding or elopement day doesn’t have to follow the usual script. Why not trade the ballroom for a kayak, the dance floor for a mountain trail, or the bouquet toss for a sunset paddle?

Because the best kind of love is the one where you can be you - soaked, sandy, and smiling ear to ear.

Whether you’re gliding across the water, hiking up a ridge, or simply laughing under the stars, let your day reflect the adventure you’ve built together.

Capturing love in its most natural state — messy hair, wet clothes, and all. 💙
