OH HEY THERE! IF WE HAVEN’T MET YET,
I'M DAYNA! OWNER, DREAMER, CREATOR
I'm a photographer for adventurous & incredibly in love COUPLES!
I’m an imaginative, storytelling photographer who is dedicated to capturing your authentic love and emotion in every photograph. I’m a lover of the simple things, and I have a deep appreciation for life's simple pleasures; long road trips with my husband, chasing golden hour sunsets, old time rock & roll, and COFFEE! I’m an animal lover, a lover of small romantic gestures, the warm summer breeze and of course all things elegant & vintage! When I'm not capturing your life's precious memories, you can find me spending time with my family up North in a little town called Temagami, hiking and enjoying the outdoors with my hubby, binge watching Grey's Anatomy or Gilmore Girls, spoiling our fur baby Milo or collecting vintage film cameras! I am someone who cherishes every fleeting moment, and for whom no distance is too far to travel for the chance to seize the magic of your love stories. I'm a moment collector, a daydreamer, and a wanderer at heart! Originally from Barrie, Ontario, but I'm not just a hometown enthusiast; I'm eager to explore, travel, and be a part of your destination wedding plans, creating lasting memories and new friendships!

FAQ's
HOw FAR In ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?
ASAP! I book on a first-come, first-serve basis! Meaning, I could get multiple inquiries for the same date, but the first client that is able to sign the contract & send the retainer gets the date! The longer you wait to book or inquire about your date, the lower your chances are of me having that date available for you! So book as soon as you possibly can! PRO WEDDING TIP: Touch base with your preferred vendors before you book your venue! We'd be more than happy to list off a few dates that we are available, before you head off to the venue booking appointment! This way you can factor this into your decisions and secure the vendors you've always wanted!
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?
FUN & FULL OF LAUGHS! I love to capture raw, authentic emotions! CANDID's! My approach typically involves a lot of motion, snuggling & you being you! I direct you by using prompts, instead of posing you! By giving you little directions, you focus on the task at hand, rather than over posing yourself! My style is usually described as "WARM, RUSTIC, VINTAGE, CINEMATIC" The best way to see what I mean is to check out my portfolio or take a look at my social media!
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO SEE MY PHOTOS?
After your wedding or elopement, you can expect to see the edited online gallery within 8-12 weeks of your date! You can expect to see your online couples, engagement or lifestyle gallery's within 4-8 weeks after your session! (From June-November wait times may be delayed by 2-4 weeks, as it is our busiest season!) I want you to know that we hand edit every single image that is delivered to you! We take our time with each and every one of your photographs! I take extreme pride in my editing process and have trained my eye to get my images to look a certain way. I give my full attention to every single one of my sessions!
