I’m a movie buff, obsessed with Harry Potter, Halloween and wonderfully bad Nick Cage movies.
I was raised on the cinema and inspired by it, so I bring that magic and wonder into everything I photograph.
Capturing intimate moments of human connection is what makes my heart beat hardest. I am so passionate and I put so much of my soul into documenting your love story in the most magical and meaningful way.

Kind words
We could never have anticipated just how incredible our experience would be. Chanelle was more than just a wedding photographer; she became a storyteller, a confidante, and an artist devoted to framing our love in the most captivating way. But what was most impressive was her innate ability to make us feel comfortable and cherished in front of the camera. She didn’t just stage photos; she orchestrated moments. Every photo was a masterpiece. She captures not just your photo but your essence.

innate ability to make us feel comfortable
I personally was nervous about not knowing how to pose and looking awkward in photos but Chanelle’s such a friendly and approachable person. She gave great direction when it came to posing. We felt very comfortable being ourselves in front of the camera with her. She really went above and beyond our expectations capturing the wide range of emotions throughout the wedding.

beyond our expectations
From beginning to end, She answered every question. Always quick to respond. Provided details of the process, and insight to make my wedding as special as can be. She made my entire family comfortable. She went above and beyond and all the wedding photos are perfect, gorgeous and incredible. She captured each special moments, from rehearsal, to both bride and groom sides, to the ceremony and reception. Her skills made my wedding very memorable.

LOVE IS MAGIC!!! Chanelle made our wedding the most magical experience ever, she and her team went beyond mere passive photography and cinematography and went the extra 100 miles to create special moments and memories throughout the whole wedding, from getting ready all the way through the reception. 11/10 would recommend to anyone.

the most magical experience
Even though we had some hiccups with the snow melting before we got up there, she worked her magic and got us some amazing shots! Her communication throughout our entire experience was great and we always felt like a priority. Our wedding photos came out so beautiful and I can't stop looking at them! We would highly, highly recommend and will definitely be using her for any future shoots like maternity or baby pictures :)

WE ALWAYS FELT LIKE A PRIORITY
We are so in love with our photos, and she truly worked miracles as the weather was not our best friend that day. But Chanelle worked her magic and took the most beautiful images. She is very flexible and professional. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple, and leading up to the wedding she will make sure to contact you to create a timeline to make sure she does not miss any special moments that you'll surely want photographed. We highly recommend her!!

Incredible attention to detail
Deciding to work with Chanelle was easily the best decision I made when planning my wedding. Having an experienced and enthusiastic person to listen to my ideas and help refine them was invaluable. On the day of the wedding, she was professional, kind to extended family members, had great suggestions for lighting and poses. She made me and my husband feel at ease and captured the mood of our day perfectly. When we first talked, she told me she would help me stick to my schedule and be my biggest cheerleader that day. She did all that and more!

candid photos of the real love stuff
Having photographed over 200 weddings and almost 20 years in the wedding industry, I have a sense for anticipating moments and I'm sensitive to your needs. Sometimes that means understanding when you feel overwhelmed by your three sisters that have all been married and all have their own opinions about your wedding.
I remember finding myself in this situation with a bride, I felt her discomfort and sensed that she was going to lose it, really soon. So I grabbed her vape and asked her to step out with me for some bridals in the sunlight.
When we got outside I gave her the vape and told her "We don't need to take any photos, I just wanted to give you a tiny break. And give you the space to unload your feelings on me, in a way that won't cause problems with your family."
She gave me the biggest hug and said "You could really sense my anger boiling huh?!"
When you work with me, you're gaining a friend, a confidant and an expert in the wedding industry.
An innate ability to make us feel COMFORTABLE and CHERISHED in front of the camera.
