Darby is the Absolute Best!

We cannot say enough amazing things about our time working with Darby! She shot both our engagement photos and our wedding day. She has a calm and friendly demeanour and this put us and our entire wedding party at ease having our photos taken. Darby is so incredibly talented- she captured all the important moments and more, both candid and posed. Her work is absolutely beautiful and we couldn't ask for better photos. Darby created lasting memories for us and we will appreciate that forever. Cannot recommend her enough!! THANK YOU DARBY!!!

Fantastic photographer with a heart of gold!

Darby has been phenomenal to work with. Last summer she shot our engagement photos, which turned out far better than we could have hoped for. We absolutely love them and have had such a hard time trying to narrow down which ones to use because she was able to capture so many amazing moments.

This weekend we were suppose to get married but unfortunately had to postpone due to COVID-19. Darby has been extremely flexible as we try and figure out what our wedding would look like and when it would be. However, we do know that no matter when/what we do, we want Darby to be part of our big day. She is the only vendor we will be planning our date around to make sure she is available!

We highly recommend Darby, you will not be dissapointed!

Loved working with Darby!

We can't say enough good things about our experience working with Darby! She shot our engagement photos as well as two separate wedding events for us. To start, she is a total professional and promptly answers emails/texts with patience and suggestions - she's not one of these vendors you'll have to chase! She is super easy-going and calm - great energy to have if you're a stressed out bride like me! She is proactive and resourceful, scoping out the venues for the best backdrops and lighting yet was also open to any suggestions that we had. She is detail oriented (she'll notice if you have a stray hair or hair elastic on your wrist!) and will give suggestions for posing, which we really needed (lol). 

But of course, she is so talented!  For example, my husband and I are very awkward when it comes to photos and gave Darby the added challenged of taking our engagement photos at our old (very ugly) high school. We were blown away with how the photos turned out - not only did we look natural and happy, but our surroundings looked beautiful too! She can literally turn a parking lot and chain linked fence into art. 

We are SO happy with our wedding photos ! Thanks to Darby's creativity, we have so many favourites that we are excited to print and display. But also - looking through all of the photos, altogether, she truly captured the day, and for us it feels like a trip back in time. Thank you Darby for everything :)

The best of the best!

Darby has been part of our journey for awhile now - she's done three shoots for us as engaged, wedding & then married in home. I can honestly say, each time I get the photos I am swept away and usually crying tears of joy. It's safe to say I'm a tad obsessed and picky about photos and Darby exceeds all expectations. Not only that, but she is just the best photographer to be around and collaborate to make all photoshoot visions come to life. At first we were nervous/scared of being awkward, but Darby has a way of making you feel super comfortable and like you've known her forever! For your wedding day, this is exactly who you want to have beside you. The memories, moments and emotions she captures are absolutely timeless. She has a true natural talent, she is simply magic! Can't say thank you enough Darby, so lucky we found you!!

Engagement Photoshoot

Darby was super friendly and very easy to work with. Usually when it comes to photoshoots, people get weirded out by certain poses. This was our first time and didn’t know what to expect. Darby made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout our entire engagement shoot. Highly recommend her and our photos turned out amazing - we’ve gotten so many amazing comments. Thanks so much Darby!

Best Photographer!

Recommend 100%!!
We are so happy we chose Darby to capture the most important moments in our life so far. I came across her page online and thought the photos were beautiful, elegant and timeless. Once speaking with her, it was like talking with a friend. It was a very easy, comfortable and professional process! She is super talented and we couldn’t wait to work with her!

For both the engagement shoot and at the wedding she was nothing short of exceptional. She is creative, professional, kind, funny, and comfortable to be around. Not everyone feels totally content in front of the camera but Darby makes you feel like a natural! She truly captures the candid and intimate moments of such a big day in someone’s life, and portrays them so beautifully!
She went above her requirements at our wedding and helped wherever she could, - adjusting the boutonnieres on the groomsmen, even helping the ladies to bustle my dress.

We couldn’t be more pleased having chosen Darby to capture the biggest day in our life!!!

Thank you soooo much Darby, the photos are so beautiful!!! We absolutely love them and cannot wait for our wedding album!

Darby is truly amazing! She captured all the magic of our special day, key moments we wanted and other ones we didn't even know were had! She was reliable, friendly, professional and SUPER talented! She really captured the vibe we were going for and the lighting and angles in all the shots is very flattering. Thank you so much Darby we will cherish these photos forever!

Best photographer !!

As soon as we met Darby we knew we had to book her for our wedding. She is so personable and actually takes an interest in your life, you feel like friends instantly. We were really nervous about taking photos but she made it feel so natural and comfortable. She listened to every request we had and ensured we got all the photos we were looking for. Our photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. We had such a great experience with Darby, my sister booked her for her upcoming wedding as well! We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. She’s the best!!
