Classic. Gillian was the most beautiful bride, and right before some family photos we just took a few moments for some portraits and the outcome was this. Magical. I love giving my bride and groom time to just be since often your wedding day is so busy. Did you get time alone at your wedding?⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ #weddinginspiration #weddingstyle #realwedding #canadianwedding #torontobride #canadianbride #everywedding #ruffledblog #featuremeoncewed #meaningfulwedding #theknot #theweddingpic #thedailywedding #huffpostido #besnapinspired #muchlove_ig #lookslikefilmweddings #lookslikefilm #ontarioweddings #ontariobridefeature #ygkphotographer #darlingmoments #radstorytellers #elopementphotographer #lblcollective #belovedstories #loveandwildhearts #pecweddingphotographer #weddingcanadafeature #dirtybootsandmessyhair
Can’t wait to photograph these two this weekend at @paletta_mansion ! I wish we could bring the boat and the moon.

I wanted to start posting more images from my travels. As a wedding photographer sometimes my feed is just FULL of weddings and couples, I’m trying to start following fashion, travel and other unique accounts because creativity in every form is so inspiring. So my thought is if I get tired of only seeing weddings maybe you do too. So I’m going to share accounts that inspire me to grow. ⠀ -⠀ Some accounts I love that stretch my creativity are @allthatisshe @miz_bedford @stonewildcollective @nadiamarychurch @samdavidsmith @mindz.eye @meg_nlo @oliveavenuephoto @these_dancers_have_talent @stefankunz @caffeinatedletters @anniequigley_artist @jenessawait @promisetangeman 🔥 -⠀ Also does anyone love side streets in Europe? I love the stone, the doorways, the window boxes...everything.⠀ -⠀ -⠀ #wanderlust #adventureseeker #doyoutravel #travelmore #goexplore #wonderfulplaces #openmyworld #lovetotravel #adventurethatislife #roamtheplanet #travelblogger #exploretocreate #lookslikefilm #thattravelblog #travellifestyle #workandtravel #postcardsfromtheworld #photographyislife #getoutstayout #rei1440project #travelgirl #femmetravel #radgirlslife #wearetravelgirls #tripfocal #tlpicks #italianstyle #italyturism #italy_hidden_gems #travelerinitaly
Bloom where you are planted. A common saying often turned into some form of typographic artwork. This year for me however it’s not just a cliche saying, it’s my current situation. ⠀ -⠀ I have always found it quite challenging to call anyplace home. I have moved at least 15 times and home hasn’t really held much meaning to me. ⠀ -⠀ This has been hard when I’ve heard of people who have made childhood memories, or lived in the same house their whole life. I just couldn’t seem to grasp what that would be like. However it’s meant that when I am invited by the Lord to travel or go somewhere I find it easy to pack my bags and go. God truly does use everything. ⠀ -⠀ This year I joined an incredible church @libertecity and I think I am starting to truly understand home. Despite not wanting to live in Canada forever, having desires not to live in -30 weather and many other things, this year I decided to truly plant myself. Just be all in. Whether God calls me to move tomorrow, next month or next year, I wanted to be all in. I declared this in front of friends while in Israel standing in the Jordan, and I have seen the amazing fruit and the blooms. ⠀ -⠀ This church family has brought so much healing to my heart, but most of all I have been unbelievably blessed by the leadership of @levimarychurch and @nadiamarychurch who have encouraged me and really facilitated me being able to bloom. I took this shot last Sunday, right as the service ended. This moment. Two people who I respect so much being each others best cheerleaders, being all in, and planting themselves and a church and teaching those around them how to bloom. Be all in friends, even if you leave tomorrow. It’s worth it. - - #jesussaves #christianity #christianfaith #faithfull #hopewell #christianchurch #christianinspiration #worshiptogether #worshipjesus #familygathering #travelinspiration #adventuremore #myottawa #ottawaphotographer #igersottawa #ottawalife #narcityottawa #christianitylife #ottawaliving #churchphotography #churchfamily #instachurch #inspirationoftheday #inspirationdaily #bethankfuleveryday #thankfullness #thankfulheart❤️ #jesusismysavior #jesusheals #jesuslove
I have been trying to grow my skill level in the area of landscape lately. It’s so hard. A killer photographer has even been giving me some tips and alas, I think I might have to resign that it’s not what my eye is best at seeing.⠀ -⠀ -⠀ I think that’s something that I love about photography, one genre isn’t better than the other, it all takes incredible skill but most of all a creative eye that sees past what a normal viewer can see. ⠀ -⠀ -⠀ At my workshop, Grace this past May I had not just portrait photographers but some landscape photographers too and I love how they captured images so differently, their eyes saw aspects of the shot that maybe someone who is used to portraiture doesn’t necessarily focus on. Not wrong, just different. ⠀ -⠀ -⠀ Don’t be hard on yourself because your eye sees differently, God has created us all so unique, instead celebrate what your uniqueness is. What does your creative eye captures best? Today I celebrate that I capture love and moments in front of my camera in a way that brings me much joy. And sometimes while walking through Paris at dusk my iPhone gets a decent shot! What do you do well?⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ #wanderlust #adventureseeker #doyoutravel #travelmore #goexplore #wonderfulplaces #openmyworld #lovetotravel #adventurethatislife #roamtheplanet #travelblogger #exploretocreate #lookslikefilm #thattravelblog #travellifestyle #workandtravel #postcardsfromtheworld #photographyislife #getoutstayout #rei1440project #travelgirl #femmetravel #radgirlslife #wearetravelgirls #tripfocal #tlpicks #shotoniphone #parisatdusk #exploreparis
Swinging into August confused how it’s already August. Do you remember as a kid when it felt like summer was an eternity and getting to the next grade took forever. Now I barely know what day it is, my wall calendar is usually a month behind and my year goes by with a blink of an eye. Does this mean I’m old?⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ #weddinginspiration #weddingstyle #realwedding #canadianwedding #torontobride #canadianbride #everywedding #ruffledblog #featuremeoncewed #meaningfulwedding #theknot #theweddingpic #thedailywedding #huffpostido #besnapinspired #muchlove_ig #lookslikefilmweddings #lookslikefilm #ontarioweddings #ontariobridefeature #ygkphotographer #darlingmoments #radstorytellers #elopementphotographer #lblcollective #belovedstories #loveandwildhearts #pecweddingphotographer #weddingcanadafeature #dirtybootsandmessyhair
Not sure the last time I showed my face around here, or the last time I had a selfie on my grid, but this is me, Allicia. I made the necklace I am wearing for a woman’s event. I wrapped all the necklaces for the women and we prayed and asked God which woman should get which necklace. When everyone got their necklaces this one was left over. A woman gave it to me and said this one must be for you. It came at a time when I had so many dreams and desires but I wasn’t really seeing them come to fruition. So to have the reminder from 1 Thessalonians 5:24 “He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.” given to me was just what I needed as an encouragement. Nearly 4 years later after receiving that necklace that I basically ended up making for myself, I am living out some of my deepest dreams that I had then. ⠀ -⠀ -⠀ One dream I want to share, is the dream to speak and teach young people about how loved and special they are. This selfie was taken when I came home from sharing my story at a summer camp to a group of teens today, God is so faithful. I love sharing how God has redeemed some of the darkest times in my life, how he would take a girl who hated herself and lived a life behind a mask and show her so much love and redemption she sometimes has to pinch herself. ⠀ -⠀ -⠀ I would love to share more of my story with you, how God has done so much and how He has proven time and time again that He is so faithful. If you have questions or would like to get together for a tea, send me a DM. He is faithful. Maybe today you needed to be reminded that He can do it, He hasn’t forgotten you and you are special and loved, just like I needed it that day with my necklace. ⠀ -⠀ -⠀ #weddingphotographer #weddinginspiration #wordsgram #thecmpchallenge #wordswag #wordsofencouragement #wordsofaffirmation #inspirationseed #quotestoinspire #quotesaboutlife #bookideas #bookshelf #bookrecommendations #inspirationalquotesandsayings #jesusloves #jesusculture #inspiration #inspiredaily #quotestoremember #lookslikefilm #quotes #spilledwords
Just listened to a great teaching on hope by FirstFive the @proverbs31ministries app which has become one of my new favourite apps. What are you putting your hope in today? My desire and goal is to put my trust and my hope in Jesus, but it’s amazing how quickly I can let my hope be dictated by something or someone. My car is having a challenging time with her life right now, I don’t have the money for a new car, circumstantial evidence would say the situation is a bit hopeless, but this morning I am thanking God that my hope is not based on things seen, but things unseen. Hebrews 11:1 says “Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.” What are you dreaming of, hoping for and praying for today that you can’t see yet? Don’t be discouraged because we have a Father in Heaven who shines in these moments because He is the God of miracles and the things unseen. 🧡⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ Present @athenaandcameronpresets⠀ -⠀ -⠀ #weddinginspiration #weddingstyle #realwedding #canadianwedding #torontobride #canadianbride #everywedding #ruffledblog #featuremeoncewed #meaningfulwedding #theknot #theweddingpic #thedailywedding #huffpostido #besnapinspired #muchlove_ig #lookslikefilmweddings #ontarioweddings #ygkphotographer #darlingmoments #radstorytellers #elopementphotographer #lblcollective #belovedstories #loveandwildhearts #pecweddingphotographer #weddingcanadafeature #gracefulbrides #allkindsofmagic #firstfiveapp
