We just had the most magical time doing our engagement shoot with Kerry, and the photos speak for themselves! We were so fortunate to be able to shoot at her beautiful ranch in Perth; even our two dogs came along! Thank you so much for having us and for making us feel at home!

Kerry was so friendly and made us feel comfortable right from the beginning. She was lovely with our two dogs and really helped turn this into a family event. We had so much fun running around the beautiful ranch with her! When we saw the photos, we were truly speechless. Thank you for capturing our love and helping us to document our story... memories we will have forever. It's quite obvious just how passionate Kerry is about photography and the people she photographs. She puts so much love, care and detail into every moment. We cannot thank you enough. From the bottom of our hearts, we cannot wait until our paths cross again.

All our love, Natascha, James, Hank & Harley

Kerry is a very talented photographer and a wonderful person. For our initial correspondence, she was professional and warm. Kerry walked us through every detail which made us feel prepared and confident.

We opted to do an engagement photo shoot as a way to get some practice in front of the camera. As a couple, it was a fun experience (although we got lost on the way home); we got to know Kerry better in an environment that spoke to our personality as a couple. The whole time we felt relaxed and by the end of the shoot we felt like pros knowing exactly what to expect. The photos turned out beyond amazing, I love them in combination with our wedding photos.

On our wedding day, Kerry arrived early to stake out the venue for photo opportunities. She blended seamlessly with friends and family, capturing private breakdowns and public declarations alike. The collection of these moments overwhelm me to this day. The rawness of the grainy black and white photos juxtaposed with the richness of the colour provides an array as diverse as the emotions we experienced.

Kerry is passionate about new ideas and places. She embraces challenge as a way to hone her craft. We believe this enthusiasm is what makes Kerry a true artist. We are lucky to have worked with her and cannot wait to see what her future holds.

Thank you Kerry from the bottom of our hearts!

Choosing Kerry as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.

She was so professional and kind to work with, it felt like she really took the time to care about the types of photos we wanted.

When our wedding pictures arrived (on time or maybe even two weeks early!) we were blown away with all beautiful moments Kerry had captured! The pictures she provided surpassed our expectations and we had trouble deciding which ones to put in an album as we loved them all!

Our one year anniversary is coming up in July and we still love going through the photos, admiring her work and reliving the special moments that she captured for us.

Investing in a quality photographer for your special day is worth every penny, and I would recommend Kerry without hesitation!!

Kerry is a fantastic photographer and uses light beautifully. Not only did Kerry take amazing photos, but she was incredibly helpful and always responded to questions right away. With all the craziness that goes on leading up to a wedding, Kerry helped calm a lot of anxieties. We weren't particularly comfortable being the centre of attention, but Kerry made everything so easy and pleasant. She let us be ourselves and thanks to her professionalism and talent all our photos represent us honestly and authentically. Hire her. You will enjoy working with her and be wowed by the natural beauty of the finished product.

After having stalked Kerry’s work for some time we were finally able to meet on her beautiful ranch to have maternity/family photos taken a few weeks ago. Kerry was able to fit us in and return our album quite promptly to ensure I had the photos back in time for my baby shower. She was efficient, thorough and returned beautifully captured and edited photos much quicker than I expected. Kerry has a great eye and a way of making the typically awkward couple feel at ease in her presence and in front of the camera. Thanks for the beautiful photos Kerry; we look forward to working with you again perhaps after the wee guy makes his appearance

So many times before and after our wedding we’ve gushed to each other about how glad we were to have found Kerry. Before the wedding we knew we were in good hands – Kerry’s energy, organization and care always left us feeling confident. But Kerry’s work on the wedding day was phenomenal. She seemed to be always shooting, seeing possibilities, finding unique moments and doing all she could to capture what made the day and the location (a family cottage) so special for us, and all with such excitement and enthusiasm! We absolutely love the photos. Kerry’s amazing artistry made the wedding look as beautiful as it felt!

My husband and I are blown away by Kerry and her photography. We hired Kerry for our wedding in Merrickville in the fall, and fell instantly in love with her style, guidance, professionalism, and talent. Kerry is someone that makes being in front of the camera feel so comfortable and natural - and it shows in her work. When we got our wedding photos from Kerry, we were left speechless as she managed to capture our true character as a couple, the relationships we hold with our favourite people, and the magic that we felt on our special day. Kerry - thank you. You will forever hold a place in our hearts and we look forward to working with you again.

The most beautiful little USB arrived in the mail! I completely forgot that we had ordered it and it was such a treat to receive it! I can't stop looking at our photos. The way I describe them is I always say, Kerry was amazing to work with. I felt like she captured every single moment of the day through photos it feels like I'm watching a video when I look through them all. Kerry, you have the most incredible talent to capture each moment and at the same time we didn't even notice that you were taking photos. What a perfect combination! How can you be in so many places at once? You were able to do it ;)

Thank you for being part of our day and capturing it for us to have forever!

Kerry, I don't even know where to begin. Our wedding photos are everything we hoped they would be and MORE. You absolutely nailed our vision and managed to capture every emotion, personality and moment of fun that was had on the most special day of our lives. We cannot thank you enough for giving us this amazing keepsake and for capturing our day the way you did. Every photo is absolutely perfect and priceless. You were so fun to work with ... hopefully we'll be able to work together again in the future! We will absolutely recommend you to everyone we know and I will never stop singing your praises :)

To put it simply, Kerry creates pure magic when there’s a camera in her hands. I couldn’t believe the amount of emotion that was captured in the photos she took of our wedding day - I spent hours looking at them, and re-living the entire day from start to finish, giddy butterflies, smiles, and terrible dance moves included. I know we’ll treasure the amazing photos she took for the rest of our lives. I’d recommend her based on her work alone, but she’s also an absolute pleasure to work with. So professional and efficient, while also being so sweet and friendly. She was readily available to answer all of my questions leading up to the day - and trust me, there were a lot! I really hope to work with Kerry again in the future!

GET TO KNOW ME

I'm living the magical dream on my nevernever land ranch with my man and animals in the artistic and holistic community of Perth, Ontario. For the past 5 years I have had the honour of photographing many beautiful weddings, big & small throughout Canada and internationally.

These days I like working closer to home in the Ottawa Valley & Kingston regions so I can drive home from an extraordinary celebration that incorporates life, love, friends and family - your wedding; step out of my car; feel the dew on my bare feet; kiss my horses to pasture; listen to the sounds of the wild under the milky way; and start up a mesmerizing bonfire that wisps me away into the wee hours of the night.
