Your wedding photographs should hold more than how everything looked — they should carry how it felt. The energy in the room, the quiet pauses, the movement, the emotion, the moments unfolding in between. Not just a record of the day, but a preservation of the experience itself.
From our first conversation to thoughtful planning and seamless execution, your wedding is documented with intention, honesty, and quiet refinement. I photograph weddings as they naturally unfold — the connection, the emotion, the unspoken moments, and the in-between — creating images that feel true now and will feel just as meaningful decades from now.
Based in South Western Ontario, I capture weddings and elopements with a storytelling approach rooted in presence and authenticity. From quiet glances to full-belly laughter, I document the moments you feel — and the ones you didn’t even realize were happening. With a blend of digital and film photography your gallery becomes a layered story — modern, cinematic, emotional, and timeless.
Love. Connection. Captured.
Meet Chantelle
Owner/Photographer
Hi! I'm Chantelle!
A Stratford wedding photographer capturing candid, true-to-life moments throughout Ontario, including weddings in Stratford, London, Kitchener-Waterloo & beyond.
A newlywed to my husband Jaden and dog mom to my golden retriever Dixie who mean the absolute world to me. I grew up in the KW area but have put down roots in Stratford, ON. With a post secondary degree in Photography I decided to follow my dreams in to the big world of wedding photography.
I knew right from the beginning wedding photography would be my passion and after shooting my first wedding in 2020 I was instantly in love. My approach blends candid storytelling with artistic detail, so every glance, every smile, and every fleeting moment is preserved beautifully. Your wedding day is one of the most meaningful days of your life, and my goal is to make sure you can relive it for years to come through images that feel truly alive.
I would describe my approach as candid and documentary, I love to help prompt you into moments that will keep evolving to make every moment feel natural. My editing style is true to colour, authentic, timeless and documentary.
Each image I create is designed to reflect your day: intentional, raw, and full of love.

Chantelle captured our wedding day beautifully, and the photos are absolutely stunning. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and caught the most genuine, candid moments that you simply cannot fake.
She was amazing at organizing our families for portraits (no small feat!) and somehow managed to get the kids in our wedding party smiling their biggest smiles. Her calm and reassuring presence made the whole experience easy and enjoyable.
One of the highlights was how quickly she shared sneak peeks after the wedding. It meant so much to be able to relive the day right away.
We highly recommend Chantelle to capture your wedding day.

Chantelle did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day from start to finish! She showed up ready to go with such a calm and friendly demeanour which immediately made me (the bride) feel more relaxed. She was so kind and flexible with any idea for photos that we presented and was able to orchestrate a surprise "first look" perfectly.She provided us with a Sneak Peak album only a couple days after the wedding and we were shocked at how many photos she had already completed! They were stunning and some literally made us speechless.Thank you Chantelle for your shooting our special day and capturing all the little details and big moments combined. We recommend Chantelle 100% and can't wait to see more of her impressive work! Thank you!! 😊
