How the day started vs how it ended. One word: EPI

How the day started vs how it ended. One word: EPIC 😳🤣
-
Jess and Jordan had the most epic day and here is what I loved about it most.
Jess had the most sweetest moments with her mom while getting into her gorgeous dress. Her veil was freaking stunning too.
Jess and Jordan shared a first look and personal vows to each other. What a moment to be a witness too. So heartfelt and wonderful.
You could just feel the love from everyone during their ceremony.
We snuck out for an incredible sunset and danced in the light.
The most epic part of the day, something I have never seen before, is the epic flash mob surprise to Jess and Jordan. Every person present was on that dance floor. Myself and @annabis_photography included. I still have the light up glasses; You know just incase I want to relive the epic dance in my kitchen.

Hi friends, it has been a hot minute since I have

Hi friends, it has been a hot minute since I have shown my face here. Hello there I am Aleisha and I am sharing something immensely vulnerable today.

Last summer my body and mind went into emotional eating and drinking mode. Masking what was happening in my real world. Then September came and went with the loss of my favourite person. My mind and body went into full blown hibernation mode. I wanted to sleep any chance I could get largely because I didn’t have to feel if I was asleep. It’s what I needed at the time. Then January came my body was craving much more; routine, nutrition, to do better and feel better. My mindset changed. My grief certainly became a huge motivator. This body is a vessel and you only get one; one chance and this became even more apparent to me with the loss of my dad at 60 yrs of age.

I will always be amazed at what this body has given me in its 38 years. A journey never forgotten and seen in my scars both physically and mentally and its stretch marks visual reminders of its growths.

I decided to prioritize taking back my health and body. Loving my body has always been hard. Something I am still continuously working on. I want to be strong, I want to show up in every aspect of my life as best as I can. Bonus that this helps my mental health and anxiety. So Thank you body for not giving up on me and for surpassing my expectations in this wellness journey.

That let’s get to the party feeling!
Super thankful to have had the honour of documenting this beautiful fall wedding at my favourite lake. Hard to believe it will be a year very soon. Happy early Anniversary you two ♥️. And a huge thank you to @confettiwedmag for the stunning feature🙏.

Recently I attended an amazing workshop and this miraculous day turned into anything but a workshop. It was way more. It was about connection with yourself, with your creativity, connection with other human souls. One take away I want to bring up here that really resonated with me was the notion of a ripple. A ripple in the water or the ripple affect; that my art, my work, my creativity, my interactions and relationships with my clients has a much greater reach than I know and that truly humbles me. I had photographed @larissa_nadia and @brinnajones wedding day 3 years ago to the week we photographed their maternity session at their beautiful cottage in Minden. Reconnecting with them to photograph such a precious milestone means so much to me. This is why I love this job. It is an incredible honour to photograph anyones memories let alone all or one of them. Truly an amazing feeling. ♥️

Last weekend I traveled to Manitoulin Island and it was an absolute dream.

“If I look closely, I can almost see myself floating in my mother’s palm. Yet, when I shut my eyes, I find a different image of my mother releasing me as we dance in the storm and twirl in separate circles that cause the water to ripple from us in widening rings which merge in one ebbing bracelet of waves where the borders of the quarry meet the water, far from the center where my mother and I continue to spin our bodies in the radiant sheen of lightning.” #ursulahegi
