Love is Magic Photography
Colourful, Candid, FUN Wedding Photography
How to make your dream wedding a reality!
I know talking about money is awkward, so let's jump right to it. On this page you'll see exactly how I help your dream wedding become a reality and everything I offer.
I've placed a contact box at the end of this guide to make it easier for you to get in touch!
I'm here to document all the fun and make sure to help you manage the time. I’ll be the one cheering you on and capturing moments as they happen, like the bridal party jumping on the bed, pouring champagne and clinking glasses!
Wedding Process
what to expect
I make sure to capture all the little things that you have planned for months. I love playing with textures and finding a way to bring nature into detail shots. Don’t worry, I have a check list for my couples so you won’t forget any precious detail.
Your day can pass so quickly that I encourage you to have a first look, private vow reading or first touch. This will often be the only private moment that you will share together on your wedding day.
The side glance is one of my favorite wedding moments, its not the epic first kiss that you'll frame and put on your wall - but documenting your wedding is about so much more than the big Hollywood movie moments. It's about all the candid little moments that capture exactly how your love FEELS.
When it comes to family formals, I'll pose you down to your fingertips. And I love to let things happen organically like friends coming up to congratulate you in the middle of capturing a family portrait - this is NOT something I am going to stop. I can retake a traditional portrait. I can not recreate the smile and tears that come from this interaction.
I have a genuine love for people and easily get to know you, your family and friends, so I'm able to capture authentic moments of your favorite people being their ridiculously fun selves!
When it comes to couple portraits, I know how to make you feel comfortable and help your personalities shine! I don't just take perfectly posed images, I prioritize joyfulness and fun. I'll direct you with prompts that encourage playfulness so that I capture real laughter and raw emotions.
After dinner and the reception traditions are out of the way... it's time to get down on the dance floor. I usually capture 1.5 to 2 hours of dance floor time. I'm always on the look out for moments like these bridesmaids dancing and singing to the Bride!
Sparkler and bubble send offs are the best! I can help you plan one. I know how quickly your wedding day will go by. Let me worry about the timeline so you can spend the night making memories and enjoying the heck out of your wedding day!
we're going to Laugh a lot

i want photos like that
you may be a love is Magic couple if you...
🤍 live for Harry Potter marathons
🤍 want to feel at ease on your wedding day
🤍 prefer natural and fun posing direction
🤍 enjoy steamy kisses and booty grabs
🤍 treasure candid photos of the in between moments
🤍 strongly believe love is really freaking magical
My favorite part of the whole experience is building a friendship with you. I'm invested in getting to know you because I will spend the most time with you than any other vendor. 2-3 weeks before your wedding day, I will take you both on a Timeline Dinner date (on me) to iron out timeline details and share a few cocktails. It will make you feel so confident about your wedding and it really solidifies our friendship!
Timeline dinner date
Having a photo and video team with a long working history enhances communication and coordination on your wedding day. Neither side is fighting to get the perfect shot and instead we have worked together so often that we know exactly where the other will be. I could tell you so many horror stories of working with videographers that stood in the middle of the aisle, blocking key moments or getting tripped and even elbowed in the face.
Benefits of a photo and video team
The best part about having a photography team is both of you get a dedicated photographer. There is no running back and forth between rooms, and no missed moments with your bridal party! For the rest of the day I focus on the couple and their emotions, while the other photographer can document the guests, details, and candid interactions happening throughout the venue. This ensures no precious moment is missed, from the bride’s entrance to the joy on family members' faces, providing a rich and varied collection of images that truly reflect the essence of your day.

Kind words
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.
Virginia + Mike
made my entire family 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.
Jessica + Omar
beyond our expectations
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.
Jose + Aimee
innate ability to make us feel comfortable
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.
Kayvon + Lisa
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 :)
Sarah + Brandon
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!!
Rosalie + Javier
truly worked miracles
Best wedding photographer ever! 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!
Sarah + Brandon
easily the best decision i made
WILL YOU PHOTOSHOP ME?
No. The only things I will adjust is small blemishes. My rule is, if it won't be there in 2 weeks, I will do my best to edit it out.
(Examples: pimples, zits, makeup on clothing.)
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT TO THE WEDDING?
It is pretty unlikely that I would miss a wedding but just in case, I have back up photographers available to cover a wedding, that are all experienced, creative, and approach Weddings with the same passion I do. I'll edit your photos so you will still get my signature editing style.
WHAT IS THE PHOTO AND VIDEO QUALITY?
I shoot on full frame cameras and have delivered prints as big as 40x60" to my clients. Digital images look crisp when viewed on a 55" 4k TVs. Videos are output in full HD 1080p.
WILL YOU BE THE PHOTOGRAPHER ON OUR WEDDING DAY?
Yes I, Chanelle, will be your photographer. If you want to add a 2nd photographer or videographer from my team, know that these are people that share my enthusiasm and love for storytelling.
WHEN DO I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
I post sneak peeks to Instagram the day after your Wedding and I send your downloadable online gallery of images in just 1-2 weeks!
WHAT IS THE BOOKING PROCESS?
A signed agreement and deposit locks in your date and the balance is due 7 days before your wedding date. Payment plans are also available.
