So before you invite me to accompany you on that journey—and I’d be honoured!—it’s only fair that I introduce myself.
Photographer is my job title, but first and foremost, I’m an observer. There’s nothing I relish more than slowing down, locating the beauty in both ordinary and extraordinary moments, and then preserving it for you to look back on.
I photographed my first wedding long before I ever thought about being a wedding photographer. But when it was time to find a 9-5 job after university, I couldn’t resist the allure of photography, which had always been my passion. Encouraged by my loved ones, I took a leap of faith and started my own business.
Since then, I’ve photographed over 100 weddings, and I still wake up feeling lucky that this is what I get to do. Instead of collapsing into bed when I get home from a wedding, I feel energized and inspired.
Each time I land somewhere new, I commit to slowing down and savouring the small things—sun-dappled cobblestone streets, a scoop of chocolate gelato, the shoes on a chic passerby.
It’s a reinvestment in my creative process, a chance to train myself in noticing.
AKA MY BIGGEST CHEERLEADERS
Stick around and you’re bound to hear me talking about these two sooner or later—Haydon is my partner, and Spike is our 2-year-old Husky mix pup. (Yes, he has exactly as much energy as you think—which means we spend a lot of time on walks together.) The three of us live in a charming little town just outside Ottawa.
It is safe to say Brittany exceeded. my expectations as a photographer.
From the moment we reached out to her, we felt like we were in such good hands.

Brittany was an absolute dream to work with.
Not only are her photos breathtaking, but she's also extremely organized, punctual, and super friendly. From the very beginning, when she shot our engagement photos, we knew we had made the right choice.

I am beyond grateful to have chosen Brittany to capture our wedding.
If I could do higher than 5 stars I would for Brittany. She is amazing, so organized, and so incredibly talented as a photographer. Our photos are stunning and exactly what we were hoping for. She really made our wedding day as seamless as possible.

The ocean! It’s where I feel the most calm and centred.

Long, leisurely bubble baths—complete with a tray to hold a cup of peppermint tea, some chocolate-dipped almonds, and my iPad so I can catch up on Netflix.

Spring blooms, especially after a long Canadian winter. Peonies are a special favourite.

With me, you can count on:
You’ll always, always get the truth from me.
If I say I’ll be there, I’ll be there.
This is a partnership, and you can entrust me with your vision.
Not just on your wedding day, but every time you reach out.
