Last update: January 2025

Acrewood - Intimate Weddings + Elopements (aka Gen) is a wedding photography business in Ottawa, Ontario. I'm all about capturing the moments that, even 20 years from now, you can look at and feel all over again—whether it's an intimate wedding, a spontaneous elopement, or those beautifully chaotic slices of family life.

Services Offered

Acrewood specializes in Intimate Weddings + Elopements. My style of photography is all about telling your story in the most authentic way possible. I blend cinematic storytelling with a documentary style, focusing on the real, raw emotions that make your day memorable. What sets me apart is my approach. Stiff poses or forced smiles are not my jam! Instead, I create a space where you can be fully present with the people you love, letting the unscripted moments unfold naturally. I'm a big believer that those quiet, in-between moments tell the most profound stories.

Trust and connection come first. When we take the time to truly get to know each other, we can let our guard down and create something significant that genuinely reflects who you are as a couple.

Amazing experience

Gen’s approach is super warm and friendly as well as super professional! Her talent is amazing, she knows how to capture great human and artsy shots that come off as modern and up to date! We can feel the love and the atmosphere of the evening in her pictures! We can tell that she takes her clients’ needs into account! I would totally recommend Gen as a wedding (and any other event) photographer! Thank you again!

Intimate Elopement in Wakefield, QC

We had planned to get married in the summer of 2020, but when covid hit, our plans were put on pause. We eloped the following year and celebrated with a small bbq surrounded by our closest friends and family. It was truly beautiful. But we never actually got wedding photos taken. When we finally felt ready to capture them, we didn’t even think twice about choosing Gen.

Neither of us had ever done anything like this before, and we were a little nervous about being in front of the camera. But from the moment we started, Gen made us feel completely at ease. Her keen eye and relaxed approach allowed my husband J and I to simply be together, transforming what could have felt awkward into a genuinely intimate experience.

What sets Gen apart isn’t just her talent behind the lens—it’s the way she creates an environment where you can truly be yourself. She gently guided us while letting our connection unfold naturally. The result was a collection of photographs that truly reflect our love - candid, genuine, and beautifully captured in the afternoon woods.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with a photographer who understood our vision and helped us create lasting memories that we’ll cherish forever.

Blown away by vow renewal photos!

We’ve worked with Gen a few times now, and every time we’re blown away by how she captures exactly who we are. We’re high-school sweethearts, and we wanted to do a little vow renewal involving our kids —something small and meaningful. Gen took the time to really listen to what we envisioned and somehow brought it to life better than we ever imagined.

She captured the big moments but also the little ones we didn’t even realize were happening, until after we saw the gallery. One of our favourite parts was getting the album. We’d always meant to print one when we first got married, but life got in the way, and it just kept getting pushed off. The quality is stunning, and it’s so special knowing we have something to show our kids when they’re older. Plus, Gen took care of everything, so we didn’t even have to think about it!

Hey, I’m Gen!

The storyteller behind the lens, your wedding-day hype woman, and your go-to guide through all the beautiful chaos. My husband and I eloped in the summer of 2023, so trust me, I get it. The planning, the replanning, the overthinking—it’s a lot. That’s why I’m here: to create space for you to let go, be present, and know that every meaningful moment is being captured with care.

Photos are one of the only things that truly outlive us. They hold the way we felt, the love we shared, and the life we built. Someday, they’ll be the pieces of ourselves we leave behind—the legacy of love and connection we pass down. For me, photography isn’t just about documenting what your day looks like; it’s about capturing how it feels.

If you're someone who values photos and knows that they're not just for today, we’ll make a great team! Together, we’ll create something deeply personal and true to you—images that reflect the depth of your story and the love that’s at its core.
