This package is perfect for capturing your engagement photos and your full wedding day from getting ready, until the end of speeches and the opening of the dance floor. Engagement photos are a great way for us to get to know each other and help you get comfortable in front of my camera before your wedding day! Plan your engagement photos like a date night, let me know what activities you love doing together and we can try and incorporate it into your shoot (e.g., Is there a favourite restaurant you always go to? A park you like to visit?) For your wedding day coverage, nine hours of wedding photography coverage gives you time not only to get all the photos with your friends and family, but also to really enjoy your wedding day. As a wedding photographer, it is my goal to elevate your wedding day experience. I will help you to create a photo timeline that doesn’t feel rushed, and really allows you to have a great time and not feel like your wedding day has turned into a photo shoot. (If you feel you need more than 9 hours, extra hours can be added on at an additional cost.) While every wedding day is different, these are the moments we will typically cover over the course of the day: <ul><li>Getting ready candids and portraits</li><li>Wedding day details</li><li>First looks (optional)</li><li>Formal group photos with your family &amp; wedding party</li><li>Ceremony candids &amp; details</li><li>Cocktail hour candids and guest portraits</li><li>Reception details</li><li>Speeches &amp; reception candids</li><li>Sunset couples portraits and/or evening portraits</li><li>Dancing &amp; partying candids</li></ul> I know how excited you are to get your photos back after your big day so, within 3 days of your wedding you will receive a gallery of 30 preview images that you can share with your friends and family! You can then expect the full gallery 8 weeks after your wedding.&nbsp;

Nathalie was a joy to work with. She took so many lovely photos of my partner and I on our wedding day, responded quickly to every question or request that we had, and will absolutely be our go-to photographer going forward. I highly recommend speaking with her about photographing any special event you're looking to capture.

Matt & Kayla

Wow wow wow!! Nathalie is an absolutely amazing and talented photographer! Having Nathalie as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding! Throughout the entire process Nathalie was professional and organized, making sure we had all of the details and photo combinations set for our special day. We love all of our wedding photos and would not change a thing. I would highly recommend Nathalie as your wedding photographer, you will not be disappointed.

Rachael & Rhys

Nathalie has taken both our engagement pictures and photographed our wedding day for us, and we honestly can't say enough wonderful things about her and the quality of her work. Neither my husband or I really enjoy being in front of the camera and she made it so easy-going and comfortable. Everyone who had the pleasure of meeting Nathalie on our wedding day, or has seen our pictures, is blown away by her professionalism and attention to detail.

Kait & Mike

Nathalie is just the best! She is simultaneously the most friendly and the most efficient person to be partnered with. When it came to my wedding, one thing I was never worried about was the photography. I felt only excitement. Getting our preview photos back and then our official wedding photos back just re-affirmed all of the above! She was the PERFECT photographer for us. I cannot recommend her more!

Abby & Evan

We are so glad that we chose Nathalie to do our engagement photos! She made us feel so comfortable in the session and we had a lot of fun all together. The pictures turned out so beautiful, it’s clear that she has a lot of experience and talent with photography. Thank you Nathalie, we love our photos :)

Laura & Kevin

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Nathalie for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From our very first conversation, she made us feel completely at ease. Her warm, kind personality instantly put us at ease on a day that could’ve easily felt overwhelming.
Not only is she incredibly talented behind the camera, but she also has a true gift for capturing the little candid moments that make memories last a lifetime. Every photo felt authentic, emotional, and beautifully composed. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her clients and takes great pride in her work.
We’re beyond grateful to have had her as part of our special day.

This past weekend, Addie and Marcus hosted an absolutely breathtaking black-tie wedding at Tapestry Hall in Cambridge, Ontario. After exploring over ten venues, they instantly knew that Tapestry Hall was their perfect match. Its blend of historic stonework, industrial beams, and sleek modern features, including a stunning bar, made it an ideal setting for both their elegant ceremony and a spectacular after party.
Months of meticulous planning went into their wedding, with every detail carefully curated by the couple themselves. Many of the details were projects that they worked on together, including a beautiful seating chart, and all of the table centerpieces. To make their vision truly come to life, they brought in the most gorgeous white florals by Petite Bloom and asked all of their guests to wear all-black. The results? Impeccable.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Yet, one of the best parts of their day were the people. Addie and Marcus have the most incredible friends and family, you could feel how much everyone loved the couple and were so excited to be there to celebrate with them.

Instead of doing a first look, Addie and Marcus opted to do a first touch. Giving them some time together in the morning, but waiting until the ceremony to see each other for the first time. During this special time, they privately exchanged their vows, adding an intimate and personal touch to their day.

Rather than a bouquet toss, Addie opted for a bouquet dedication. She dedicated her bouquet to her mom in honor of being there throughout her life and helping her at every step of the wedding planning process.

Tapestry Hall Wedding: A&M's Black Tie Celebration

Abby &amp; Evan&rsquo;s Sunday wedding was one for the books, and I think I just gained two new best friends 🥹 I care so deeply about the couples who&rsquo;s weddings I document, and Abby &amp; Evan are one of those amazing couples who reconfirmed my love for being a wedding photographer.
&nbsp;
Their wedding day was filled with so many personal touches, from getting ready at their family homes to the stunning flowers and landscaping at Evan&rsquo;s family farm. The attention to detail was truly remarkable. I also got to meet their two kitties Lily &amp; Finn - I'm such a cat person and my heart melted a little bit having kitties around while we were getting ready for the big day.
&nbsp;
The rain held out for us, giving us a perfect window for the ceremony under the most beautiful willow tree in Evan's family's backyard. It was a picture-perfect moment as they tied the knot surrounded by loved ones.
&nbsp;
After the ceremony we made our way to Puddicombe house for a beautiful reception. Nestled in the heart of New Hamburg, Ontario, Puddicombe House was such a wonderful venue for their wedding day. The beautiful architecture, lush gardens, and the quaint small town atmosphere of New Hamburg created a picture-perfect setting for their big day (and not to mention the absolute banger of a sunset we got after a day of cloud cover!)
&nbsp;
Not only is the venue beautiful with excellent food (the pasta I had was phenomenal), but the dedicated staff at Puddicombe House are committed to making your wedding day perfect. We had such a great experience with all of the staff on Abby and Evan&rsquo;s wedding day.
&nbsp;
A&amp;E, I&rsquo;m beyond grateful for being invited to document such an important day for you. Can we do this again next Sunday? 🥹💖

Puddicombe House Wedding: Abby & Evan's Beautiful June Wedding

When Katie &amp; Stefan reached out to me to document their wedding, I was ecstatic. I shot Stefan's brother and sister-in-law; <a title="Rhys &amp; Rachael's Wedding" href="https://www.nathaliemonique.com/blog-posts/rachael-rhys-wedding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rhys &amp; Rachael's wedding</a> last summer, and I was pumped to be partying with the Eylotte family again this summer!
&nbsp;
Stefan &amp; Katie had a beautiful September wedding at <a title="Cherryvale Weddings" href="https://www.cherryvaleweddings.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cherryvale Weddings</a>, nestled in the heart of Prince Edward County. There's nothing quite like a September wedding - the temperature is perfect, the lighting is divine (truly a photographer's dream), and guests are excited to attend an event as all their summer activities are winding down.
&nbsp;
I don't know if I've ever been as excited as I was rolling up to the Cherryvale Weddings venue. As we arrived, we were greeted by a field of fluffy alpacas and the venue's two very friendly dogs - we learned that their names were Echo and Otis. (Like, how cute??) Walking in, the venue was full of activity. The florists from <a title="Stemz Toronto" href="https://www.instagram.com/stemzflowers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stemz Toronto</a> were meticulously building the floral ceremony arch, and setting up the reception tent (I don't even think this counts as a tent, it's a gorgeous extension of the venue) with a stunning blend of pink and red florals.
&nbsp;
The main building at Cherryvale Weddings was the epitome of rustic elegance and served as the perfect backdrop for Katie and Stefan to get ready for their big day. The warm September sunlight streaming through the windows provided just the right kind of natural lighting that we needed to capture those candid moments getting ready.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

The ceremony was beautiful. Katie &amp; Stefan opted not to do a first look and instead met down the aisle. Katie was truly a VISION. She wore the most stunning gown from <a title="Chic Bridals Toronto" href="https://www.chicbridals.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chic Bridals Toronto</a> and a cathedral length veil. Stefan &amp; Katie's daughter wore a matching dress made from the same fabric as Katie's dress... It can't get any cuter than that. After Katie &amp; Stefan tied the knot, guests were handed a glass of bubbly as they exited the ceremony and a toast was made to the newlyweds.

While every aspect of the day was perfection, the icing on the cake was golden hour. As the sun began to set, the September glow gave the venue an ethereal charm. We seized this opportunity and took Katie and Stefan for a walk through the beautiful gardens of Cherryvale. The soft glow of the setting sun, the shadow play, and the vibrant colors of the sky provided a breathtaking backdrop for the most gorgeous portraits. We wrapped up the photoshoot in the nearby fields which offered us the most spectacular sunset view we had seen all summer.

&nbsp;
The day ended with a night full of dancing, laughter, and unforgettable memories. (As I said earlier, this group knows how to throw a party). We can't help but feel grateful for being a part of Katie and Stefan's perfect day at Cherryvale Weddings. We wish them a lifetime of love and happiness.
