Experience

Working with Sadie

When the final toast has been made and your guests have gone home, the most meaningful gift you’ll take with you is the memory of the day you said yes to forever.


Your photographs are more than just images—they are timeless keepsakes that hold the essence of your love, the emotion of each moment, and the joy shared with those closest to you. They are not only how you looked, but how you felt.


As a Thunder Bay wedding photographer, my approach is rooted in connection. I believe that the most breathtaking images begin long before the shutter clicks. They start with trust, intention, and a shared vision between us.


Every couple is unique, which is why I take the time to understand what matters most to you. Before your wedding day, we’ll collaborate on the details, craft a custom timeline, and explore the most picturesque locations to ensure your day flows effortlessly—and is captured in the most beautiful light.


From our first conversation to your final gallery, I’m here to make sure everything feels seamless. You can relax knowing that every precious moment will be preserved with artistry and care—so you can relive the magic for years to come.

This is the perfect chance to start thinking creatively about your location and vibe. Whether it’s a cozy spot that’s meaningful to you or an epic view you’ve always loved, I want your session to feel uniquely you. I’ll also send over my Engagement Session Guide packed with tips and inspiration to help you feel totally prepared. Once we’ve nailed down the details, we’ll get you officially booked in!

As part of your booking link, you’ll receive a comprehensive questionnaire designed to gather all the key details I need to begin crafting your custom photography timeline. This elegant step ensures that every part of your day—from the quiet, meaningful moments to the grand, unforgettable ones—is captured with purpose and care.


We’ll work together to shape a seamless timeline that flows naturally and supports a relaxed, luxurious experience.

FAQ

01. How do we book you for the wedding?

It all starts with an inquiry! Once you reach out and I confirm your date is available, I’ll send you a booking link that includes everything you need—your contract, invoice, and all booking documents.


To officially secure your date, both the signed contract and $500 retainer are required. Once those are in, you’re officially on my calendar!

02. Do you travel for destination weddings?

 

Absolutely—I love to travel and would be so honoured to capture your wedding day wherever it takes us! Bringing your wedding day bestie along is not only fun, but often a more affordable option than hiring someone local.


I typically travel with my husband, who also joins as my second shooter. We’ll be there to capture your entire day—from the getting ready moments to the dance floor—and we love to add in something extra special, like a sunset beach session if time allows!


Before the big day, we’ll kick things off with your engagement session right here in Thunder Bay.


Let’s make some magic—near or far!

 

03. How do you handle family photos on the wedding day?

 

Family photos are one of the most important parts of the day, and I’m all about making them smooth, organized, and stress-free!


Before your wedding, I’ll have you complete a family formal list with all the groupings you’d like captured. This ensures we don’t miss anyone and helps us stay efficient on the day. I’ll bring a copy of the list with me and guide the process so you can relax and enjoy the moment.


I’m great at working with large or energetic families—keeping things moving while still making sure everyone feels included and comfortable. My goal is to make family photos quick, easy, and even fun, so you can get back to celebrating sooner!

Yes, absolutely! And here’s something even more special—all of my wedding packages include a complimentary engagement session.
