This past Saturday the Polar Bear Plunge took place on Lake Superior in Thunder Bay. It’s an annual event that always brings out a lot of people and raises a lot of money for charity. I’m not sure if I would ever be brave enough to jump in the cold lake, but it’s very fun to capture. Check out some of my favourite photos of the event.

Maria + Justin Wedding - Lakeshore Drive
My latest wedding was right on Lake Superior, and it was absolutely beautiful. It’s always amazing to see the amount of work that goes into these outdoor weddings, and I’m often left speechless. Maria and Justin, were such a beautiful couple to capture for the day, and it was also great seeing all of their close family and friends celebrate such a special day.

Big Lake Reflections - The Chanterelle
I had the honour of photographing a very special event at the Chanterelle earlier this week. It was called Big Lake Reflections and and it was put on by Eco Superior. It was intended to be an evening celebrating our relationship with Lake Superior through the Arts. A wonderful diverse, gathering of artists of various modalities were in attendance to share and highlight one piece of art that celebrates our relationship with Lake Superior. The goal was to hopefully inspire us all to deepen that relationship, and in turn, inspire greater stewardship.

Amy + Family Portraits - Sandy Beach
Amy and her family were in need of some updated family photos and plus her parents were in town so we decided to use Sandy Beach as the backdrop. The kids full of energy so they had me working extra hard this time around, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s amazing how fast kids grow up! I really can’t wait until the next session. :)

Kayla + Family Portraits
Kayla was given a gift certificate for a one hour session with me and we decided to take the photos this past weekend. They have a house right on Lake Superior so it was the perfect setting. I always enjoy big family shoots the most because there is just so much variety. Plus, whenever kids are involved, it makes it that much more fun. I just love photographing kids.

Jessica + Liam Engagement - Mission Marsh
Jessica and Liam's wedding isn't until next year but that doesn't mean we couldn't do an engagement session this summer, which is exactly what we did! The day before our shoot, Jessica decided they wanted to use Mission Marsh as the location instead of Centennial Park, and I couldn't have been happier. There is nothing wrong with Centennial Park but I have already had a few sessions this year over the past few weeks, so a new location was more then welcome.
Read MoreRachel + AJ Wedding
When Rachael & AJ contacted me to photograph their wedding at Silver Harbour I could not wait to do so. It is a very beautiful area, especially this time of year. The location of the wedding was at house right on Lake Superior. As guests gathered and mingled by the waterfront I began taking candid photos right away. We also did some group shots while we waited for Rachael to get ready.
Read MoreChellsea + Chris Engagement
For Chellsea and Chris’s engagement photos we chose Boulevard Lake. It’s a great location as it has an infinite amount of places to stop and take photos. The weather was somewhat windy and over cast but this kind of weather is actually ideal for photos. (well minus the wind).
Read MoreJessica + Billy Wedding
It’s been a very busy summer for weddings, but I was anxious as ever to photograph a small wedding at Crystal Beach. It was another amazing venue. The ceremony took place right on the rocks by the lake. After a 10 minute walk down the dirt road, everyone eventually found a place on the rocks. It was then Jessica’s turn to make her entrance with her father. Holding hands, they slowly made their way to the crowd and to her future husband, Billy.
