<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">It all started with an email from Chris Parson (Guest relations manager @ Elora Mill). He connected me with Chris (the groom) who was planning to propose to Deanna during their stay at the Elora Mill in early fall of 2022. After our session they booked me right away for their wedding in August of 2023 at the same venue.</span></p>

<blockquote><span style="font-size: 18px;"><em>Tim is a fantastic photographer that I would not hesitate to recommend. He is super personable and easy going so you feel comfortable with him in your presence; he is incredibly organized so he gets all the key shots done even on a tight time schedule; and he has a special knack for capturing beautiful candid shots. Tim first shot us at our engagement and no doubt he will be our family photographer for years to come.</em></span></blockquote>

Deanna & Chris @ The Elora Mill

<h3>Roseville Estate</h3>
<p>is one of those places that instantly feels inviting. Its open spaces, beautiful grounds, and rustic barn create the perfect backdrop for a wedding. When Julia and Ben asked me to photograph their day here, I knew it was going to be a special one.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>A Quiet First Look</h3>
<p>We started the day with a private first look. Away from the crowd, Julia and Ben saw each other for the first time, sharing a quiet moment before the day kicked into full gear. It was simple and real&mdash;just the two of them, enjoying a pause before the celebration began. This set the tone for the rest of the day, which stayed relaxed and focused on what truly mattered.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Family Photos, Without the Fuss</h3>
<p>Julia and Ben wanted to keep family photos straightforward, so we quickly gathered everyone for portraits right after the first look. We didn&rsquo;t spend too much time posing&mdash;just enough to capture everyone together without taking away from the rest of the day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Personal Vows</h3>
<p>The ceremony took place outdoors under the clear sky. Instead of a traditional script, Julia and Ben wrote their own vows. Their words reflected who they are as individuals and as a couple, making the ceremony personal and meaningful for everyone there.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>A Fun Twist: The Donut Table</h3>
<p>One detail that stood out was their choice to skip the traditional wedding cake. Instead, they set up a donut table, which guests loved. It was a simple but fun addition that made the reception feel even more laid-back.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Finishing the Day at the Barn</h3>
<p>As the sun began to set, we moved to the barn for some final photos. The natural light and rustic setting made it a great spot to wrap up the day. Julia and Ben&rsquo;s calm energy in these moments really came through in the photos, capturing the end of a day that was focused on simplicity and enjoyment.</p>
<p>Julia and Ben&rsquo;s wedding at Roseville Estate was a perfect reflection of them&mdash;low-key, thoughtful, and centered around the people who mean the most to them. It was a pleasure to be a part of their day.</p>

<h2>Alex &amp; Kinsey</h2>
<p>are avid campers who canoe, hike, cook over open flames, and generally love the abundance of nature we are fortunate to be surrounded by living in Southwestern Ontario. Their wedding ceremony site was carefully selected among the pine barren area a very short hike from the waters' edge. I started my morning at the nearby air-bnb cottage with Kinsey and her crew before joining with the gents who had already been camping for two weeks. We had increidble weather, lots of bugs, we made some incredible images after dark and the rest is history.</p>

<h2>Julia &amp; Ian @ The Elora Mill</h2>
<p>The charm of the Elora Mill only increases in the winter months. Julia &amp; Ian hosted their favourite people at the Elora Mill just after the Christmas season and lucked out with mild winter weather. They were bright and happy and completely dedicated to spending the day enjoying the space and warmth of their family and friends, which made for beautiful candid moments captured, and gave us space to play when it came to making portraits. My favourite planned moment of the day was the croc's reveal, that was a first and has inspired me to purchasing my own.</p>

<p>By this point, I feel like most couples are keenly aware of what is included when you hire a photographer for your elopement. You will receive a gallery of stunning images showing the candid and posed moments from your prep, ceremony, portrait session, hike, etc. Video on the other hand, feels more ambiguous in terms of deliverables. So I feel compelled to show you exactly what is included when you book me as your videographer for your elopement.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">Highlight Film</h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">A short 4-ish minute edited keepsake video highlighting the important candid and posed moments from your ceremony, first-look portrait session, dance... really whatever you have planned, I scrub through hours of footage to find the moments that I feel will best remind you of how your day felt. I like to include sync-sound on vows and candid moments. All of this footage is edited to a licensed song (or two) that I feel supports the vibe of your elopement.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Your Full Ceremony</h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">In order to capture those big and small moments, I am often recording the entire duration of our time together, and there is no exception when it comes to the ceremony. I record on two cameras (because backups are nice) which allows me to edit around camera shakes (I shoot handheld) and&nbsp;reframing/editing to give room for your photographer to get the shots she needs, all while making it seem like it's just you two (and Jeff your officiant) out in the wild, declaring your love to each-other. So yes, I include the edit of the full ceremony.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">First Look/First Dance</h2>
<span style="font-size: 18px;">Dustin and Amanda decided to save their first dance for when they got back to their hotel room... but if they HAD decided to do it on the&nbsp;cliffside, I would have filmed it and included that short edit in their gallery. Complete moments like a first-look or a first dance are as important reminders of who you are in the moment, and something I love to include in galleries.</span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<h2><span style="font-size: 30px;">Super 8mm Film</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">It is true, I film a portion of every wedding on super 8mm film. I could record a whole TED talk on why. In short, I feel like it is the closest way to capture what looks and feels like a memory. When I think back to by childhood memories It all FEELS like I am watching it through a projected film-scan on the walls of my brain. Being able to supplement the 4k footage &amp; high quality audio of a wedding film with something a bit more low-fi-nostalgia give me a great amount of joy. I think it's important, and my couples do to. So yeah, I include the full film-scan video from the 100feet of super8mm film. </span></p>

Dustin & Amanda's Ontario Elopement

Can't say enough great things about our decision to hire Tim for our wedding. He made formals and couples photos so simple and was able to capture some incredible moments for us. You wouldn't have known he was at our ceremony, but we'll remember it so vividly thanks to the photos he was able to capture. It really says something when you can hire a photographer for your wedding that you feel should have been invited there as a friend. Folks like Tim make that happen effortlessly.

KEVIN & BRIANNE

Beautiful photos and a wonderful human being! Booking Tim to capture our wedding day was an easy choice and one of our top vendors!

<h2>Victoria &amp; Brett</h2>
<p>Hosted their closest friends and family for a DIY wedding celebration at an Air bnb in Egbert Ontario... why Egbert? Why an Air bnb, why DIY? All of the answers to these questions are in this BTS video where Victoria and I discuss her wedding day while watching GoPro footage from above my camera.</p>

Victoria & Brett's Backyard wedding

<h2>Anton &amp; Lenny</h2>
<p>After a month of planning between Anton, myself and the team at the Elora Mill Hotel and Spa, Lenny was completely surprised by Anton popping the question in the gorge during a rainy Friday morning. The heavy rain let up just as they climbed the slippery rock in the middle of the riverbed. The overcast sky and the drizzling rain meant we could create photos in any direction and had very few tourists. It made for a very relaxed engagement session.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I always encourage my couples to wear outfits that represent them best, and I loved that Lenny and Anton chose a street-wear outfit that complemented their style and relationship. After we took a few images in the riverbed, we went back to the Elora Mill Hotel so they could change and freshen up before we continued on with the session on Mill Street.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Big props to Anton for scheduling Lenny's nail appointment for a few days before their weekend in Elora, and for planning the perfect proposal.</p>

<h1>Keeping it Simple 🤵🏼&zwj;♂️💖🤵🏻&zwj;♂️</h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Love stories come in all shapes and sizes, but Curtis and Wes' wedding in the heart of Kitchener's Downtown Kitchener (DTK Chapel) is a testament to the beauty of simplicity. With a small, all-female wedding party and a timeless black theme, their celebration was simple, heartfelt and elegant.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We started the day at the Walper Hotel for their first-look and a few portraits of their wedding party before we walked down King Street to the City Hall DTK chapel. Jeff Maeck delivered another personalized and entertaining ceremony, bringing the tears and laughter before Curtis and Wes shared their vows.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I took the wedding party for a few images within walking distance of the DTK core to create some fun and creative images. I loved the energy of this crew. Enjoy the photos : )</p>
