ABOUT LIZ

Photographing Love Stories since 2009

Hey, I’m Liz - Your Ontario elopement photography expert.
I’m your cheerleader and I've got your back on every step of this journey. 

I love Ontario road tripping, swimming in lakes and dancing under the stars. Blasting rock music and singing out loud with the sun roof down is one of my happy places.

My ultimate state of being is nestled by the fire at my century country home listening to records and cuddling with my love Jason. I’m fascinated by photographing the world around me and witnessing incredible love stories all over the world. I believe that love is our most beautiful state of being and brings out the best in humanity. It’s truly an honour to live my life witnessing and sharing love stories :) 

I appreciate all the wonder around me and live life to the fullest, which can easily mean a glass of wine in a candle lit bathtub or sitting on the forest floor enjoying a picnic.

I’m here to listen to your dreams and bring them to life, I can’t wait to meet you two!!

GET TO KNOW LIZ

I'm a mom to three loving cats named Salem, Merlin & Willow. 
Willow was the last of her litter to be rescued. She loves to talk all day long lol it's the cutest thing! Salem is a little skittish and full of love. He makes a habit of going around the room to kiss everyone goodnight - no joke. Merlin is the mischievous one who will attack my plant babies and try to eat my food. He especially loves coconut yogurt. Salem and Merlin are litter mates and both rescues that we brought into our home at 4 weeks old. Jason and I would feed them every 3 hours, taking turns and giving them extra love. I’m so grateful they all made it, are healthy purr machines and have brought such light and joy into my life. Best cuddle buddies!

From South East Asia to New Zealand we travelled via planes, buses, boats, tuk tuks and more! We swam as the sun set and awoke to the sound of the ocean. I’ve been travelling since I was little, from family trips to the Caribbean to visiting family in Italy. I love travelling and can’t wait until our next adventure! It’s one of my life goals to be a snow bird and eat my way through all the countries!

From iconic venues in Austin, Texas to Toronto I was an adrenaline Queen hopping from live shows at NXNE and SXSW from 7pm until 4am. With a beer in hand, documenting rock fans and basking in all the sounds, plus light shows from Electric Island, best! When a show comes up that I’d like to photograph, I’ll still dive in from time to time.

When I fell in love with my hubby Jason, we started visiting his parents on their family farm in Beeton. I noticed, we began talking and dreaming of the country life when we’d go back to the hustle of the city. We were both craving being close to nature, listening to the birds, enjoying the quiet and watching sunsets. That’s when I knew, it was time for a change. So we packed up our bags and went on a 9 month adventure (refer above) before moving into our century home, here on the family farm in Beeton. 

I have the utmost respect for her and I’m always learning from her. Colourful mushrooms, misty lakes and stoic trees. I can easily get lost for hours photographing her beauty. What a privilege it is to witness and to document. From a young age I was very aware of our impact on the environment. Picture 9 year old Liz, unplugging the microwave before bedtime to save on energy. It annoyed my mom in the morning but she thought it was sweet :) 10 years ago I became a vegetarian and I felt incredible! My body was absolutely loving the increase in energy and it turned out to be a great choice for my body type! I took it a step further and now I’m plant-based and loving all the recipes I’m cooking up these days! Why not go a step further and bring my love of sustainability into my business? Check out HERE how I integrate sustainability into my business!

He opened my passenger door with the biggest smile on his face and a warm ‘Hello! I’m Jason, thanks so much for the ride!’. I put on my big white vintage sunglasses, put down the windows and blasted the radio to my favourite artist at the time, Florence and the Machine. We immediately bonded over our shared love of Florence and all things music. We became instant friends, film buffing out over marathons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, ordering Thai food and dancing at live music shows. We road tripped to Nova Scotia and rented cabins throughout Ontario, adventuring together. He knew I was his person but I wasn’t open to that just yet. So we both dated other people, lived our best life and even temporarily worked at the Pie Shack together in Toronto’s west end. I totally friend zoned him. As they say, if you don’t love yourself, how can you love someone else? The love I had been waiting for was for myself. I had to let go of a lot of limiting beliefs about men and get clear on what I wanted in my life partner. My awakening and journey to self love opened my eyes to my soul mate who’s been here the whole time. Once that began to shift, my heart began to open and let him in. I decided to make a move. We were walking in the Village, down Church Street during Pride week, I took a deep breath and held his hand. He immediately knew something had shifted, he looked at me and smiled, holding my hand tightly. As nervous and anxious as I was to take a giant leap from friends to lovers, it’s one of the best chances I’ve ever taken. Walking this life with your soulmate is such a gift. I treasure every moment and adventure we have together, in this life and the next :)

REVIeWS & kind words

Wow! I was blown away by Liz’s photography services. Right away, her warm and welcoming demeanour made us feel relaxed and comfortable. Her creative direction was gently executed, so we always felt well taken care of. Even when there were external stressors with the wedding venue, Liz was consistently a calming presence. I’d highly recommend Liz to anyone looking for beautiful, creative photos and excellent customer service!

Liz was incredible to work with! She was able to capture so many of our special moments in such a beautiful and candid way, we didn’t even notice she was there! Nothing felt over staged, the photos look natural, not stiff. She was also incredibly fun and helpful when doing our couple only photos. For someone who is very camera shy, I felt at ease. I was also so impressed with how creative she was able to get when we weren’t able to shoot outside, she made the most of the space! I can nor recommend her enough!

Wedding planning is hard enough, but finding a photographer that can take control of the day without overstepping while capturing “the vibe” is a challenge! Luckily, there is Liz. Trusting in your photographer to get the perfect shots is a must because you can’t deal with those tedious details yourself. Liz met with me for a location scout, and then we video conferenced a week before the wedding - so any of those last-minute questions and details were discussed and I was at ease. I can’t stress enough how grateful and happy I am that it was Liz behind the camera for the most special day of our lives. I could not have imagined a more incredible result, and am blown away every day when I come across a photo from our wedding. Thank you Liz for your professionalism, grace, acrobatics when getting the perfect shot; but above all, thank you for sharing your talent with the world.

The photos continue to bring back all the feelings and emotions I felt while taking them and continue to bring tears to my eyes when I look at them 2 years later. In a word, they are perfection. If you are looking for beautiful photos that capture exactly what you want to remember on your day, you have come to the right place!

From the moment I met Liz, I felt comfortable, as if I've known her forever. She really took the time to get to know me and my fiancée, in order to ensure that our photos were completely personal to us. She worked with us as we contemplated locations for our photoshoot, style of photos that we wanted, and even gave us input on our outfits! Despite taking our photos on a snowy, cold, winter day, we had so much fun with Liz! We highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you Liz!

Liz was absolutely wonderful to work with. Neither my husband nor I are particularly comfortable with taking photographs; Liz not only brought out our genuine smiles but also celebrated our quirky and unique personalities in how we posed and goofed around. It made our wedding day so much sweeter, and we have so many wonderful photos that reflect our genuine exuberance and joy thanks to her talents and infectious cheerfulness. Thank you!

Liz for the Win! We loved working with Liz. She joined us on a destination wedding to Dominican Republic. My husband and I are not used to a lot of attention, so the whole experience was a bit overwhelming for us, and Liz really helped us stay calm and relaxed throughout the wedding day, along with her partner, Jason. In the end, we have a wonderful collection of photos that tell the story of our day, and the best part is that we have amazing memories from the wedding because they helped us stay so laid-back and happy. Liz helped us focus and enjoy those special moments. We love you Liz!

Giving Back

I love working with the Pop-Up Chapel because it's a way for me to give back to the wedding community and the local community. They give to a different charity at every pop up and are focused on partnering with local food banks, educational organizations and various programs. Some of my favourite organizations they've donated to are Second Harvest, Women's College Hospital and Sketch. Check out my feature here to learn more about why I love working with the Chapel! 

Sustainability is not just about our environment, it's about giving back to the community too! The Cove is a really cool organization that gives back to the single mom community in so many ways! I've had friends over the years that have been single moms or are single moms and it is incredible to see the strength of a single mom in action! I'm so honoured to be a partner at The Cove, you can learn more about them here.

Every elopement means new trees planted — whichever day of the month you get married on, I plant that number of trees in your name! (Or, if there’s another number that’s more significant to you two, we can plant that number of trees instead!). I've partnered with One Tree Planted because they are an incredible organization that are dedicated to global reforestation. Their projects span the globe and are done in partnership with local communities and knowledgeable experts to create an impact for nature, people, and wildlife. Reforestation helps to rebuild forests after fires and floods, provide jobs for social impact, and restore biodiversity. Read this blog to learn more about why I chose to partner with them and dive into the details of their amazingness!!

The DeafBlind Ontario Foundation is such an incredible organization that enriches lives and supports people who are deafblind, as well as people who are Deaf, hard of hearing and non-verbal with a developmental disability to live their best lives.
I make annual donations to them and am in the middle of planning a photography project together. I'll keep you updated on the details! 
Check out more about them here!

We are all the solution to conservation efforts and with their seven principles, Leave No Trace is leading the way for all nature lovers. I've completed the 'How to Leave No Trace for Elopement and Wedding Photographers' Course and I follow the seven principles to protect and respect our environment. 
You can find more about these principles on my blog.

When you choose to work with me, you’re choosing to work with a sustainable WEDDING photographer.

As someone who travels all around Banff National Park, Alberta, Ontario & Iceland, I strongly believe in protecting her at all costs and giving back in whatever ways we can.  That’s why I take a number of steps to ensure my business (and therefore your wedding day) is as sustainable as possible:

Every elopement means new trees planted — whichever day of the month you get married on, I plant that number of trees in your name! (Or, if there’s another number that’s more significant to you two, we can plant that number of trees instead!)

Albums are printed on museum-grade, fine-art paper meant to last for generations (so they won’t degrade over the coming decades like most printed works), and all loose-leaf prints are printed on high-quality, recycled paper. 

Our fine art prints, standard & classic albums are made locally in Toronto, which means no overseas shipping. This also ensures high levels of quality control, and all packaging is 100% compostable, free of plastic and harmful inks.


I source and recommend sustainable vendors — like florists that plant their own flowers and/or source from communal gardens (i.e don’t ship off-season flowers in from other locations), and plant-based caterers — just to name a few options!

My elopement guide comes complete with ways you can make your day even more sustainable if you so choose… like renting your dress instead of buying, or staying in an eco-friendly Airbnb (I’ve curated a private list that you’ll definitely love.)

AND EVEN MORE!

I take care of all of this so that you don’t have to, and you get to choose which additions (if any) feel right to include in your day.

WE now have precious memories that aren't just “pictures.” They are emotions that come to life.
