Your story is just beginning.

Capturing love stories is my passion – but the story doesn’t end there. My greatest joy is being able to connect with you in a way that feels like we’ve been friends for years, and to capture the journey of your life together. Whether you decide to grow your family, move into a new home or simply celebrate how you are in this moment – I am so excited to hear all about it. Let’s create beautiful, meaningful memories.

A GLIMPSE INTO

the process

I would love to hear all about the next chapter in your story! Get in touch and we’ll chat about all of the details. For weddings and elopements I’d love to meet at your favourite local coffee shop or set up a video call to connect on key moments in your love story and your vision for the day.

I’m so excited that my style and philosophy resonates with you! To secure your date a signed contract and retainer fee are required. As the day approaches we’ll go over a range of location options and I’m always available to provide any guidance you might need from vendor recommendations to timeline assistance.

Whether it’s your wedding day or capturing memories of your newborn in their first weeks, I’ll be there to document every meaningful moment. My goal is to guide you to a place where you are comfortable connecting and interacting, and then stepping back to capture those precious in-between moments and letting them unfold. The best memories happen when you can have fun together without wondering what to do with your hands!

Once I’m back at the office the editing process begins—starting with multiple backups to protect your most treasured memories. Next I carefully curate your gallery, selecting the images that tell your story in a way that feels authentic to you. Then each image is treated with great attention to detail, ensuring colours, lighting and emotions come together in a perfect harmony that is a true reflection of your day.

Your gallery is complete—I’m so excited to share these memories with you! You’ll receive a custom link to view your secure digital gallery, along with a password and download pin that you can use to view, share and save each moment. Your gallery also includes access to my print shop. There you’ll find a range of beautiful print products and custom albums designed to display and preserve your memories in a way that brings you joy every day. All products are Canadian-made and crafted with the utmost care.

QUESTIONS +
ANSWERS

  • 1. Do you travel?
    I’m ALWAYS down to travel—near or far! I’m based in Medicine Hat, Alberta but travelling is my passion and the mountains are one of my favourite places to be.
    For destinations within 100km of Medicine Hat, there are no travel fees! For all other destinations please contact me for a custom quote.
  • 2. How would you describe your style?
    Your experience should feel like a date you’ll want to go on again and again. I focus on creating connection and keeping the experience fun. Then each image is treated with great attention to detail, ensuring colours, lighting and emotions come together in a perfect harmony that is a true reflection of you.
  • 3. What’s required to book with you?
    All sessions require a signed contract and retainer fee to reserve your date. For weddings and elopements it is the first 25% of your chosen package. For all other sessions it is the first $150 of your package.
  • 4. how many images are included?
    Each wedding day is unique—you’ll receive approximately 75-100 images per hour I’m there. 
    For all other sessions you’ll receive a minimum of 50 images. (Often closer to 100 because we have too much fun and I just can’t narrow it down any more!)
  • 5. When can we expect our gallery?
    I take great care to ensure each moment is refined with consistent editing throughout. For weddings and elopements I’ll deliver a sneak peek within a week of your day—perfect for sending thank-you cards and reminiscing while on your honeymoon. Final delivery is approximately 8-12 weeks.
    For all other sessions, turnaround is typically 2-4 weeks.

KIND
WORDS

  • “From our engagement session to our wedding, she made us feel comfortable. She has an awesome sense of humour which made her the perfect fit for us and our quirkiness. Her shots really captured our day perfectly and we can’t wait for more of our friends to get married so we can recommend Lorissa!”

    MACKENZI & TYLER

  • “Prior to this we had no experience at all with having our photos taken. Lorissa made us feel so comfortable and because of this our photos turned out looking very natural. Throughout the entire experience she had great communication with us and she was extremely accommodating. We highly recommend Lorissa and her work!”

    SHIANNE & RYLAND

  • “She was absolutely amazing to work with!! I let Lorissa take the lead with locations and she found places I didn’t even know existed! Lorissa is so easy to work with, and during the busy wedding day she caught every moment I didn’t even know I needed. Thank you so much for these memories I can cherish forever!!”

    ROBYN & JESSE

  • “Lorissa did our maternity photos and I absolutely LOVED them. My husband and I aren’t super comfortable in front of a camera but she made the experience easy and fun, even on a cold windy day. I love her style and eye for photography, and you can tell she’s incredibly passionate about what she does. 10/10 would recommend Lorissa!”
