So who am I?
DOG WRANGLER • DAYDREAMER
I’m Tanya, a devoted wedding and engagement photographer based in Woodstock, Ontario. My journey behind the lens is deeply personal and rooted in a desire to capture the fleeting moments that we cherish with our loved ones. After realizing I had only a handful of photos with my father, who passed away too soon, I was struck by the profound importance of preserving memories. This realization sparked my passion for photography—a passion that has grown over the past six years into a career I adore.
I specialize in creating soft, romantic visuals with a pastel colour palette that perfectly encapsulates intimate and inviting moments. Whether it’s a gentle glance, a joyful smile, or a quiet embrace, my photography aims to capture the essence of each couple’s unique love story. And, as a pet parent myself, I have a special place in my heart for couples who want to include their furry family members in their celebrations. I believe that pets are integral parts of our lives and deserve to be commemorated in our most cherished moments.
My service area stretches from Sarnia to Muskoka, and I relish the opportunity to explore new places and capture love stories across southwestern Ontario. Road trips to your special day are not just a part of my job—they’re a part of the adventure that I look forward to!
What sets me apart is not just my commitment to capturing your special moments but also my approach to making photography a comfortable and enjoyable experience for you and your loved ones. I strive to create a relaxed environment where you can be yourselves, which truly shines through in every photo.
Outside of photography, I cherish my morning walks along scenic trails with my mom, keeping up with family stories against the backdrop of nature’s tranquility. My dogs are my constant companions, reminding me of the joy and spontaneity that animals bring into our lives. My love for history and culture fuels my travel dreams—I’m eagerly looking forward to exploring historical sites from the Hogwarts train in Scotland to the ancient wonders of Rome and beyond.
Choosing the right photographer means finding someone who resonates with your vision and values. If my approach speaks to you, I would be honored to help tell your love story—capturing every laugh, every tear, and every moment in between. Let’s create memories together that you’ll treasure for a lifetime!

More often then not I have no voice… this playlist right here is why! I do nothing but sing while I am in the car. I am the QUEEN of car karaoke!
“Thank you so much for helping me to feel beautiful and confident and thank you for keeping the process light and fun so that everything looked natural. You were extremely organized and thoughtful throughout the planning process which made me feel very comfortable knowing that you would be efficient on the day of the wedding. Despite being prepared and organized, we all know that many last minute changes happen during weddings and I also appreciated your ability to go with the flow. Thank you so much for everything; it means a lot to us to be able to look back on these beautiful memories for years to come.”
