Hey there, Nice to meet you!

I’m Samantha & I am a quirky, 28 year old wedding photographer in the Ottawa area, who loves to laugh and make funny faces. 

I am an Ottawa-based, award-nominated, published wedding photographer who specializes in lifestyle wedding photography with a bright, light, airy, and romantic style!

I have always been artistic and creative. In high school, I started in film photography and art classes. I was in heaven! That all changed when I was forced to take an accounting class because I wasn’t allowed two spares. During that accounting class, I realized I wanted to do photography full time & be my own boss of my own company. I started photographing everything & anything that I could and fell more in love with photography.

With college applications looming, I decided to take the leap and go for a career that I knew I would love. I went to Algonquin College for my bachelor's in photography and I expanded to basically any type of portrait photography I could do. I started working with other photographers and photographing weddings under my own company in 2010 and since then I have specialized in weddings full time, with boudoir and portrait sessions filling the gaps between weddings.

Topaz & Lace Wedding and Boudoir Studios rebranded in 2021. We are more than just photographers, we are a studio that wants your wedding day to be an experience that you will remember for a lifetime, with aesthetic and timeless photographs that you will cherish for eternity.

As a photographer, I take pride in the fact that not only can I photograph all your special wedding day memories, but I can also bustle a gown, arrange flowers, show you how to put on boutonnieres, fix a curl, show you how to cut your cake, and be the go-to person for your wedding day needs! Being a full-time wedding photographer has given me the joy and opportunity to serve my wedding clients on the biggest day of their lives. I have had the absolute best couples!

The wedding collections that I created were made with my clients in mind for the best experience! All collections include a complimentary engagement session, printing rights, and professionally edited digital images. The complimentary engagement session is a free service that gives you a chance for you and your fiancé to practice, and for myself to get to know the two of you! The 8, 10, and 12-hour packages include a second photographer! This is a wonderful add-on as you’re given a second eye for the day.

With the help of my amazing second shooters; I am looking forward to chatting with you more about your wedding photography needs. I would love to meet for coffee (or wine, whatever you fancy!).

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read up about your future photographer (hopefully)! Please feel free to send me a message here if you are interested in booking your wedding or want more information, I would love to hear from you!
