Kids at Weddings – Hamilton Wedding Photographer

After closing out an amazing year of weddings, I wanted to highlight the real stars of the show. At every wedding I go to, I’m always drawn to capturing the little people. Although the focus of the day is not on them, they end up at some point, stealing the show. From the flower girl and ring bearer walking down the aisle, to sitting through a ceremony, enduring a HOT summer wedding, to family portraits and then to dancing it up at the reception– kids are always telling a great story!

Maybe its because I’m a mom myself, but I can’t help but documenting how these little ones take in these amazing wedding days! Having kids a part of your wedding day, in my opinion, enhances the day. They bring joy (and sometimes tears!) and its always a blast capturing their little personalities.

And so, here’s my favourites of the season– kids at weddings!

I’m currently booking limited weddings for the 2019 and 2020 season. To inquire about rates and availability please send me a message here.

Wedding days are full of many macro and micro moments. Often on our social feeds we are only shown the highlights and the must insta shots! But every day is filled with many little moments that really are the big ones that matter most.

Reception speeches are some of my favourite moments as they always reveal more layers of depth to my clients. I get to hear childhood memories, proud accomplishments and those early days of love blossoming.

Shin`s message to his parents transcended the language barrier and we all felt his words just by witnessing his parents reaction to his speech. Having lived away from his family for a number of years, he shared his appreciation to his parents in the sacrifices they made for him. I don`t think there was a dry eye in the room!

These are the memories I know will mean something to my couples as the years go by. It`s about their love but it`s also about the love shared for those surrounding them.

As photographers we get to be documenters of these moments, the important ones! These are the moments that continue to inspire and bring me joy! ❤

Trying new things can be daunting sometimes! I often get in my head and freeze rather than just doing something.

But here’s to trying new things and having fun doing it!

And if anyone has tips or tricks for BTS footage, let me know! I’m a great student!😂

I probably have said it before, but no wedding is the same. Yeah, we may pin the same pins and see the same trends everywhere, but in the end, your wedding is YOU!

There are many factors that go into each and every single wedding day the light, the time of year, the setting, the venue, the people and I could go on!

And here’s the truth no wedding should look the same. There’s so much joy in celebrating you and your uniqueness.⭐️

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing so many different weddings, and even though the same events happen at weddings, it it’s always different.

I love the joy, the expressions, the unique elements to each wedding day!

My one piece advice would be don’t stress in trying to make your wedding like everyone else’s! Just focus on what brings you joy!

This compilation of photos represents different weddings throughout the many years that I’ve been able to photograph weddings. 💗 Each of them is unique, and each of them brings their own joy!

Can I tell you a story?!

When I bought my very first camera about 16 years ago, I never dreamed that decision would have impacted my life in so many ways.

From a simple decision to wanting to document my daughter growing up, morphed into preserving all my children in their early years and now being able to serve so many other families.

If you are new here, I’m Kristin 🤗 Time passes incredibly quickly and I believe photos help tell your story of what life is like right in the here and now.

Life can change in an instant. I’ve found that out through hard experiences and through joyful ones.

Photography has the power of telling stories years after the moment occurred. I’m so incredibly grateful I have thousands of those memories of my own family. 💗

Being able to serve others is something that brings me so much joy!🙏

Is it time for you to create those beautiful memories with your family? Don’t wait!!

Comment below if you want to say YES to telling your family story this season!💗

Can I share something with you?! Actually, I’ve shared it before but it’s worth sharing again. 😉

Growth after life altering events is possible! I can go on about how this applies in so many ways but I want to share how it was made possible in my photography business.

After moving half way across the country, I wasn’t sure if my business had a future. I had to find all new clients, I had to learn an entirely new landscape (hello wind and dry prairie grass!) and I had to build from the ground up.

I decided to do what I’ve always done, just share and to keep doing what I love- taking photos! ♥️

When I received my first wedding inquiry only weeks after living in Alberta- I was shocked (and incredibly humbled!) it gave me hope and joy to know that can make this work!

Fast forward two and a half years later, I’m so so incredibly grateful to the many of you who have allowed me to photograph some of the most important milestones of your lives! It is not lost on me how you all have helped me to continue to do what I love! 🙌

So here’s to all that is to come! If you are looking for a joy filled photographer who finds beauty in the everyday, that’s me!💗

Follow along to see where the journey takes me!🌱🌸

There’s not much more beautiful than the miracle of a new baby. Yes there’s so much work, pain and tireless days that come with a newborn but there’s also wonder, joy and exhilaration. Newborns prompt curiosity. “I wonder what their personality will be like when they grow?” They prompt growth. They morph us in ways we’d never dream of. New life is the best gift.

Josie & Harrison recently welcomed their sweet son into their family and they are already so smitten with him. They are deep in the trenches with little sleep and attending to needs but they have also been filled with much joy and love!

Here are a few favourites from our session together!💗 They are saving all the sweet face pictures for only their closest loved ones but I love how all these images still evoke the new joy in their lives. Even Zelda the corgi is enjoying the new addition!💗

Even though every wedding is unique and individual to each couple, there are some commonalities no matter the differences.

One of them is the walk back down the aisle after being pronounced newly married! 🎉

The joy and bliss on couples faces is something that will always be on display!

It’s a quick walk back down the aisle but I’m always snapping like crazy to capture all those expressions! ♥️🤩

I also love prompting all my couples to share a kiss! Couples this is one thing you can practice before the wedding day!

This beautiful #jekyllisland sunrise deserved a permanent post on my feed. Whenever I’m on vacation somewhere by the water, I always make sure to get up early for one sunrise. I’ve never regretted it and some of my best memories are watching spectacular sunrises.

This one at #driftwoodbeach did not disappoint! While I was taking in the sunrise and photographing all its different stages, Leah scoured the beach for shells! See if you can spot her in some of these photos!
