These guys hit the sandy beaches to exchange their vows but that didn’t stop them from having a good old fashioned TBay reception to celebrate their new status as husband and wife. As fellow small business owners (check out Sweet Peas on Algoma….food is great!) we want to thank you both for choosing us to […]

  Simon and Natalie : Our deepest appreciation to you both for bringing us out to such a beautiful part of our country. I (Dana) have been to Southern Ontario only one other time (a lovely wedding in beautiful Peterborough you  may recall, internet). I have found that I’m developing a bit of a love affair with the deep […]

We met in the kids section of Chapters over Starbucks and apple juice. It felt more like a play date than a consultation but that’s how laid back Jason and Jenn are. They are a family. Their kids are their world and they wanted to include them right from the start. I knew we’d make […]

Dear 1970’s -ish, you were a great era with many lovely things about you and I’d just like to take a moment to thank you for making this wedding dress. And to you, dear two thousand and twelve, thank you for revamping this vintage dress to become what it is….a beautiful gown for this beautiful […]

Kathryn and Martin. We met, she liked us, they booked us and we set up an engagement shoot. She warned me about Martin…..that he might be….”difficult”.  I can work with difficult. In fact, I took it as a provocation and was really looking forward to this ‘challenging’ session. You see, “Martin doesn’t do photos” said […]

It’s funny, when you have a big awesome family, you often have big awesome family weddings. This was a big. awesome. family. wedding. Patricia is at once impossible to categorize yet easy to describe: she’s fiercely loyal, quick to smile, always there for those close to her, and seemingly never in a down mood. She […]

Erin & Steve wanted us at their wedding until the end of the night: they were ready for a party. When Erin first told me that her wedding colours were to be grey and yellow I knew we’d be fast friends. My whole house is grey and yellow and I swoooooon at pictures on pinterest […]

What to say what to say….   Maybe I should start about 9.5 years ago when I met Julie. We spent new years together…it was my first time meeting Nik’s family. Everyone was kind, but I was especially nervous to meet all of his girly cousins. Fast forward to that summer where Julie and I […]

I was greeted by Erin on the morning of her wedding with a huge smile. Getting ready was relaxed and going smoothly and Erin took the opportunity to talk about her family. She told me all about her dad and her moms. She has 3. Family was huge for Erin and Paul. They wanted to […]

I knew that I was looking forward to this wedding the minute I read Shannon’s email a few weeks before their big day. It was filled with excitement and she signed it as the “soon to be Mrs {Chris}”. It’s that kind of childlike anticipation that keeps the ilo team going; knowing that our couples […]
