"I'd marry you anytime and anywhere"
If a traditional wedding isn't for you, I am here to cheer YES!!! Go for it!!! Your wedding should be exactly what you want it to be and I 100% support the decision to break tradition and plan the wedding of your dreams. Instead of spending time and money into planning a traditional wedding. Invest in a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is authentic to you and something you will both remember forever! Think about your favorite photos, the ones you print, frame, hang on your walls, put in an album, visit once in a while, and go back to over and over again. The photos that mean the most to you, the ones that take you back to a specific memory and a moment in time. These are the photos that tell your story, bring back memories, evoke emotions, remind you of who you once were, and remember that time in your lives. So grab your person and do what truly makes you happy - there are no rules for your elopement, you can get married in your backyard, a park, a waterfall or a mountain top, whatever you decide Im here supporting you all the way and so excited to capture the unique vision that you have for your day!
"Your wedding day should be a reflection of your unique love story—filled with the moments, people, and details that matter most to you.
Make it about what feels right, not what’s expected, and create a day that is authentically, beautifully yours."
Talented, passionate, and oh, so committed to her craft, Beata is an absolute ray of sunshine. I first had the opportunity to work with Beata back in 2019 for an outdoor couples photoshoot. Newly eloped, my husband and I were looking for a fun and authentic way to capture our love - and really wanted to do it with someone who shared the same happiness, passion, and excitement that we were currently feeling. A quick peruse through Beata’s ‘Bemiro’ website and we knew we had found a match. I loved not only the talent that she so clearly possessed. but also the passion that exuded from her writing, the authenticity of the moments she chose to capture, and the overall warm vibe that I got from each and every one of her images. Her work was timeless, personal, and real - and that was absolutely everything we were looking for. We met up with her on a sunny afternoon in Liberty Village, and, in a mere matter of minutes, Beata managed to not only put us both at ease, but instantly started to feel like an old friend. Working diligently, passionately, and enthusiastically, Beata took what would have otherwise been just a normal afternoon hour, and turned it into a fun and adventurous lifetime of memories - with dozens of beautifully unique images captured along the way. It’s no wonder then that when the time came to document my actual wedding dress (something I wasn’t actually able to do at our spontaneous elopement) Beata was the only person I trusted with the job. Always one to outdo herself, she jumped at the opportunity, dove into her bag of talented creative tricks, and literally created the staged wedding of my dreams. Coordinating everything from the studio to the archway, the florals to the decor, Beata really went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed to create the magical, memorable moment we always dreamed of. To say we’re grateful to her would be an understatement of epic proportions. Her images are timeless, the care she puts into all that she does is absolutely touching, and the passion with which she brings to each project is humbling to say the least. We not only feel like we now have an amazing family photographer for life, but also a near and dear friend who we will always trust with all our precious moments. Thank you Beata!

I am currently booking 2025 weddings but I still have a few dates available in 2024. Make sure you inquire if you are interested because dates can go pretty fast! Typically you want to book about a year in advance as I have inquiries 2 years out.
The booking process is straightforward and easy! To officially reserve your wedding date, all that’s required is a signed contract and a non-refundable retainer. Once that's in place, we can dive right into planning your engagement session, which is a wonderful opportunity for us to meet in person, get comfortable working together, and start building excitement for your wedding day. From there, we’ll stay in close touch, discussing your wedding plans and making sure every detail is covered so you can feel confident and excited as the big day approaches!
Of course! All of my clients receive a comprehensive Wedding Guide designed to simplify the planning process and ensure everything runs smoothly on your big day. The guide includes valuable information and a comprehensive questionnaire that helps you organize key details, from timelines to family photo lists, ensuring that no important aspect is overlooked. Having attended and photographed numerous weddings, I’ve tailored this guide to cover all the essential elements, so you can feel confident in your planning and more relaxed as the day approaches. Additionally, I’m always just an email or phone call away to assist with any logistics, answer questions, or offer advice. Whether you need help fine-tuning the timeline or coordinating specific shots, I’m here to provide guidance every step of the way, so you can focus on enjoying the experience!
Absolutely! I love engagement sessions, and they offer so many benefits beyond just capturing beautiful photos. They give us a chance to connect and get to know each other before your wedding day, which helps you feel more comfortable in front of the camera and lets me understand your dynamics as a couple. It’s like a practice run that allows us to establish a flow and rhythm, making everything smoother and more relaxed on the big day itself. Engagement sessions also provide an opportunity for you to showcase your personalities in a more casual and intimate setting, away from the formality of the wedding day. You'll walk away with stunning images that can be used for wedding invitations, save-the-dates, or even displayed as décor on the day of the wedding itself. Plus, these photos serve as a beautiful reminder of this exciting chapter in your journey together!
My photography style is rooted in a natural, documentary approach. I believe the most powerful moments happen when people are being themselves, so I strive to capture the genuine emotions and candid interactions that unfold throughout your wedding day. Rather than directing or staging shots, I prefer to blend into the background, allowing me to document your celebration authentically as it happens. This allows me to preserve not only the key moments, like the vows and first dance, but also the quiet, often overlooked details—the laughter between friends, the joyful tears of family members, and the unique personalities of your guests. By focusing on these authentic interactions, I create a gallery that truly reflects the spirit of your wedding day, ensuring you can look back and relive the emotions, connections, and atmosphere of your celebration for years to come.
Every wedding is different, however you can use the below timings as a guide:
Please remember to factor in travel time between venues and locations and also take note of the sunset time on your wedding date to ensure that we get plenty of natural light on the location/portrait shoot.
Absolutely! Some images naturally lend themselves to black and white, as this can enhance the emotion and timelessness of certain moments. I will use my professional discretion to determine which photos are best suited for color and which ones will shine in black and white, ensuring the most impactful presentation of your memories.
Within the first few weeks following your wedding, I will provide a selection of sneak peek images to give you a glimpse of your special day. Your full gallery, typically comprising 50-100 images per hour of coverage, will be ready within 8-12 weeks. However, during peak wedding season (June to November) and around major holidays (such as Christmas and New Year's), turnaround times may be slightly extended due to the increased volume of work and personal time spent with family. I appreciate your understanding and patience during these periods.
With extensive experience shooting weddings, I have honed my ability to capture all the important moments without the need for a second shooter. From the intimate details of the bride and groom's preparations to the big moments of the ceremony and reception, I am adept at being in the right place at the right time. My expertise allows me to anticipate key moments and work efficiently to ensure nothing is missed. This experience enables me to handle the entire day smoothly, providing a comprehensive and seamless coverage on my own. However shoud you desire extra perspective, or require groom and bride getting ready photos at seperate locations - I can arrange a second shooter with an additional fee.
Absa-freakin-lutely! I capture all kinds of love. To me love is equal and photography is a way of capturing all the love stories that make this world a little bit better place to live.
I’m based in Barrie, but I happily travel across Ontario to capture weddings in a variety of beautiful settings. Whether your celebration is in the heart of the city, by a lakeside cottage, or in a more remote destination, I’m always excited to hit the road and explore new locations. I love the diversity this country has to offer, and I’m more than willing to travel to wherever your special day takes place! So feel free to reach out, and let’s plan something amazing!
