Christy & Mike’s Country Barn Wedding – Lethbridge Wedding Photographer

I’m excited to finally share the second part of Christy and Mike’s summer country wedding day. But in all reality, I haven’t even blogged the first one from July 2021! That day was one of the hottest July days that I could remember! Despite that day being different than originally planned, it ended up being the most memorable and beautiful day spent with their closest loved ones.

One year later, Christy and Mike’s wedding day was the perfect second wedding celebration. The grounds at Heritage View Barn in Cookstown, Ontario, provided the most beautiful setting for a country wedding day. I love that country barn weddings are still a popular choice with wedding couples and this one is so gorgeous and the perfect setting for a summer time wedding. I hope that this trend continues!

As you can see from these photos, a lot has changed in one years time. The biggest thing being that they have welcomed a sweet and handsome little guy into their family. Little baby J kind of stole the show but that was totally okay!

Thank you again Christy and Mike for having me photograph both of your amazing wedding days! I wish you both all the best as you continue in your journey as a married couple and as a growing family of three!

Here are a few favourite images from their beautiful summer country wedding day.

✨ Amanda & Delore ✨ what a beautiful day to close out my 2025 weddings! They were surrounded by so many loved ones and dear loved ones watching from above.💗 So many personal touches were woven into their day. From honouring Delore’s mom who passed away, to incorporating birds of prey, and to their favourite date night spot, all of their day was so them!

We were blessed by beautiful weather, a tad bit windy, but gorgeous end of day light! Here’s a few favourites from their November wedding day!💗🤩

Oh and this was my first time I was able to photograph a wedding couple with an owl and a golden eagle- so cool!

Be sure to scroll all the way to the end to see my favourite image from the day!💗

Now that the bulk of my shoots are done and I can exhale, I get to look back on some of my favourite moments from this past season! 🤩

I never did share this stunning wedding party from Oriana & Connor’s wedding day! Not only did they look stunning, they were the best group to work with! They sure picked some awesome people to stand with them on their day! I love how the pale blues of the ladies dresses fit so beautifully with the surroundings of @thenorlandhistoricestate

Here’s some of my favourites from the formal photo part of the day!😍💗🎉

Oh hey 👋 this post was promised a long while back 🫣 life has been moving a mile a minute. While I’m coming up on almost 12 years of photography, I’ve been drawn down memory lane. This little hobby of what started to be capturing my kids growing up has blossomed into something so joyful and fulfilling. These last years have been filled with blessings but also with unknowns and shed tears.

Photography has given me friendships, travel opportunities, so many beautiful landscapes, and endless memories. My camera has taken me to Iceland, Nova Scotia, Georgia, Ontario and Alberta (always up for more places!!) and who knows where to next! 🌎

But most importantly, it has brought me into so many of YOUR lives! I count it such an immense blessing to be invited into so many of your most joyful, important, and sometimes tearful moments in your lives.

I know how powerful memories are…and how impactful photo memories can be. I remind myself of that at the beginning of each and every photoshoot. I have a gift worth giving and you have a story worth telling.💗

So here’s to 12 years and however many more to come! ✨

We squeezed this session in last week right before the wind got the rest of the leaves! The Anderson family is special to our family as they have become great friends over the last few years! They also relocated to Alberta and didn’t know anyone else here at the time. It was so good to have fellow Albertan transplants to relate to and build relationships with!

They are a sporting family and may just be slight fans of the Pittsburg Steelers! I’ve made this post all portrait images, but be sure to check my stories for two more sneak peeks from the very end of our session!🤩🏈

Thank you Anderson family for having me photograph your beautiful and awesome family!💗

Okay, my last session from Ontario is up! And this session was another super special session!💗 I thoroughly enjoyed hang out with my bro & sis in law and their three beautiful and spunky kiddos!

It was a crisp fall morning and the scenery was in peak display!! There’s no shortage of beautiful scenery during the fall season in Ontario.🤩

We explored the beautiful little park, played some epic red light green light and had lots of fun just hanging out! These kiddos have grown up so much in the last few years, it’s crazy how quickly kids grow! 😍 Their family is thick into the busy season with sports, work and all the life things! Life moves so quickly and so it was nice to spend a bit of time together catching up again 💗

Here’s some of my favourite images from our morning together! I’ll never take those beautiful fall colours for granted!🍁

No fun was had at this session at all! Just check the photos! But really, I think we were laughing for a large majority of this session!😍

I think I’ve been photographing the Joustra family for almost 10 years now! From engagement, wedding, newborn and first year photos, they’ve invited me to be a part of their story! And it’s been such a joy!! 🤗

This beautiful family is embarking on another adventure in the coming year with new job opportunities and a move south of the border! I’m not sure when our paths will cross again but I’m so thankful to have been able to connect with them again on my trip to Ontario.

Here’s some of my favourite images from our session together! 🤩 For our session we explored Princess Point, spotted swans, found badger burrows and talked dinosaurs. It was perfect! 💗

I don’t think I’ve been more excited at a session until this moment. 🌈 We dodged rain and wind and then this glorious rainbow appeared!

My time in Ontario was such a joy and made even more joyful by all my loved ones! And I got to take pictures of two of my sibs and their families!

First up is this beautiful family of six! Darren & Evelyn had their wedding photos done here a whole bunch of years ago so it was so special to go back with life looking a little different!💗

I have one more family session to share before my next round of sessions! I had a great morning with the Storsley family last week exploring the River bottom area of Lethbridge. Being new to the area they wanted to incorporate some iconic Lethbridge views and so we got some beautiful images!

Fall really flies by quick here in Southern Alberta! I’m so thankful to have been able to fit in so many wonderful families while the colours were still on display! Here are a few favourites from our session together!💗
