Carley & Jacob's Fall Wedding: GTA Bowmanville Wedding Photographer
At the risk of sounding like a broken record I freaking love my job and these next two beautiful people. I met Carley and Jacob in the fall of 2021 at their engagement session. Okay okay, it was Carley, Jacob and their sweet Cockapoo Piper. You may remember their session here. Fast forward to the Fall of October 2022 and we had ourselves one hell of a day we will all remember!
Their story began in University and the rest is history. Carley is a gorgeous fun, sporty, energetic and hilarious woman and Jacob is the quiet, easy going and simple guy who adores Carley, loves a good beer and wings and of course Hockey.
A beautiful Fall day, overcast and moody skies were the perfect pairing for the rich jewel tones and fall foliage.
Carley’s Wedding Florist (Aspen Florist) did a stunning job. Her work always leaves the viewer entranced with the delicate intricacy of the most gorgeous blooms.
They nailed it with getting ready photos and stunning locations to do so. It really does make a difference in the look and feel of your wedding day photos. I just adored the natural light and magazine worthy bathroom that Carley and her maids got ready in. It was a dream! Jacob and his guys had a super cool, bright and spacious loft to work with that was right off Lake Ontario. The diversity we were able to get that morning made me so giddy!
Here is a recap of Carley and Jacob’s big day. Carley had a first look that was a first for me…no it wasn’t with Jacob, but her sweet fur baby Piper lol. Sooo cute. Check out her expressions.
Carley & Jacob, thank you for your kindness. For your love and trust. It goes beyond an honour to document milestones like these for my clients. Knowing that these memories and photographs we shared and created together will be cherished for a lifetime. Welcome to the PKP and Aspen Florist family. We can’t wait to see where life takes you next.
Special thanks to Hilary for your help assisting, Aspen Florist for your gorgeous blooms and to all of Carley’s girls for your help to make it the amazing day it was. You guys rock!

I am so freaking thankful and blessed to know this next wonderful woman I am about to share on the Blog. Little back story about Meredith and myself. I believe (correct me if I am wrong Mer) but I think we first met at a Networking Event about 7 years ago. Fast forward to running into one another at the odd gathering in our community and then carpooling together to a business event in the west end. And NOW we are so lucky to call one another business partners for every Maternity and Mama event in my studio.
I seriously couldn’t have searched for a more perfect fit for my brand and portrait studio. Thank you Meredith for being the quality, care and attention to detail that our moms deserve! Thank you for being so amazing and the beautiful, kind and down to earth woman we so love.
Now, the real reason why I am blogging this today is to share Meredith’s love story with you. Meredith and Ian’s go back about 10 years. Which is so freaking cool. They have been through a lot together, raised a beautiful family, pursued their careers, seen one another at their worst and yet all the while their commitment to each other never wavered. That my friends is very rare. It’s clear to see just how much they love one another especially when no words need to be spoken, just eye contact. The laughter, love and adoration is pure magic.
On a gorgeous August afternoon they said I Do with friends and family, Fries and Frose
I mean how COOL is that right? Check it out…
The sweetest ceremony was simple and emotional, under a pretty backyard gazebo right next to their pool was so picturesque for Mer & Ian. Only a handful of Bridal portraits were needed and Mer had picked out a spot that she knew would be a great setting for them. I loved her vision and everything came together so naturally. Wouldn’t you agree? Just look at this stunning family ;)
Here’s how the rest of the day went…
I can’t tell you how fun this was to document. I mean how often is it that you get to document your clients favourite things right from the comfort of their own backyard? I seriously didn’t want the evening to end. This one is going down in the books for the best food/drink truck wedding! Thank you so much for having me a part of this epic milestone for you all. Love ya both xo
Ian and Meredith…Wishing you years of more laughter, love and a whole lotta fun!
Special Thanks so Courtney from Bubble and Fizz Co, Katie Lynn Hair & Makeup and Gangster Cheese. All wedding details were planned and prepared by Meredith. Need an intimate fun event? Give her a call lol :)

Tamara & Jon's Wedding Love story: Toronto Wedding Photography
A little story about Tamara and Jon. Also sounds like (a little ditty bout Jack and Diane lo) jk…I met these two crazy love birds back in early 2022. We had just come out of the never ending Pandemic and spoke over a zoom call. I knew right away how much fun we would have at their wedding.

We planned a beach engagement session and met at the Bluffs on a very humid later afternoon. Sandy toes, side splitting laughs, and at the end sweat running down our brows and excited to see what we created together.
Fast forward to their wedding day. Another STUNNER of a day for Tamara and Jon. Here’s a sneak peak of their beautiful and FUN day!
Planning a wedding is stressful enough. There is a lot to do. I get it. Been there :) However if I can offer a little piece of advice…remember to have fun. Stressing over every single detail leaves you unable to enjoy and be present. Love and let go. After all, just look into your partner’s eyes and know that everything will be perfect when you have each other.
Tamara and Jon, thank you so much for having myself and Hilary document your Wedding Day. It was such a blast. You’re chemistry and love for one another is one of a kind. Any fool can see that. Telling your love story was so easy to do when a love like yours is so clear to see. Cheers to you guys!
Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness. All the best and till we meet again!
