Owner & Lead Photographer
Get to know her: Ashlyn’s passion for photography started when her grandmother gifted her a camera on her 12th birthday. As she continues to grow as an artist, she finds herself most drawn to working with those in the wedding and portrait industry who value creativity, being intentional, and doing things their own way, even if it strays from the norm. Ashlyn has gained recognition for her inventive, sometimes-campy, creative engagement shoots and most recently, her work was included on Junebug’s international list of Top 50 Engagement Photos of the year.
When she’s not snapping photos, or daydreaming about the next creative shoot, Ashlyn loves reading thrillers, grabbing a beer at Fairweather Brewery, spending time with her partner and two cats, and watching reality tv (Vanderpump, Below Deck, The Challenge, Love Island…..you name it, she’s probably seen it).
Inspired by: Renaissance paintings, film, movie posters, good branding, music videos, old magazine publications, surrealism and bold colours.
Currently listening to: Twenty One Pilots, Radiohead, Phantogram, Nine Inch Nails & anything from the 60’s.
Lead Photographer
Get to know her: For over 15 years, Steph has been capturing the essence of life through her lens. With a keen eye and a passion for photography that runs deep, she specializes in the art of music and portrait photography, transforming moments into timeless memories. Her work has graced the pages of esteemed publications including the New York Times, Billboard, Buzzfeed, and The Hollywood Reporter.
When she's not behind the camera, you’ll find her hanging with her cats, spending time outdoors, camping in Northern Ontario and traveling to new places. Above all, she cherishes the moments spent with her beloved partner, family and friends.
Inspired by: Music, the beauty of flowers, paying attention to the world around her, and the connection between creativity and emotion.
Currently listening to: Ethel Cain, Ellis, Dizzy, Fleetwood Mac, The 1975, Local Natives, and Turnstile.
Second Photographer
Get to know him: Nearly 10 years ago, what started as a nerdy kid goofing around with a camera, compounded into an unhealthy obsession, which led to shooting events for family and friends. Flash forward to 2016, he worked his first paid gig (a whopping $50), and as they say “the rest is history”. Aidan has always carried a love for the entire creative process, and is a pro at capturing candid moments.
Outside of photography, some of Aidan’s favourite things include pavlova, chinese food, the colour black, making lattes, and travelling.
Inspired by: A good zero to hero story. Whether it be the small business owner that finally took the leap from side hustle to full time, or that part in a rom-com after their big fight where they finally realize they can’t live without each other. I’m a real softie when it comes to stuff like that, so don’t be alarmed (or surprised) when you see me fighting back tears while snapping away during a wedding speech
Currently listening to: Royel Otis, something about the grungy Australian scene is forever embedded in my blood. Although I have an insanely broad music taste that changes from day to day.
