Krystina & Ryan had a traditional ceremony at a local church in Barrie, and partied with all their family and friends at the gorgeous Ivy Ridge Estate in Ivy, Ontario. A middle of June wedding with the kind of weather every bride dreams about: a mid-twenty degree temperature, a cool breeze, and no bugs during […]
This gorgeous autumn wedding at the Barrie Country Club was one of our favourite days of 2022. Jenn & Nick’s choice of venue was the perfect location for their mid-September wedding. They chose such a beautiful colour palette that really popped against the Barrie Country Club’s lush gardens and rolling hills, which was giving off […]
Jenelle and I were briefly introduced at another clients wedding back in 2020. I took a group photo of the bride and her friends (including Jenelle & Braden). What I didn’t know was during that wedding, Jenelle leaned over to at the time, boyfriend, Braden, and she told him that she wanted to hire me […]
Bride, Hailey and Groom, Shoma, didn’t have the day they anticipated (#covid19), but their day was nothing short of magical and heartfelt. They had done long-distance between Japan and Canada dating (and engagement) for a few years, and if that wasn’t already challening enough, the world decided to have a world-wide pandemic limiting any and […]
One of my dearest friends married her love this autumn and it was the most beautiful day. Lauren and Klem’s fall wedding had been planned originally for early September, later postponed until the summer of 2021, but eventually they decided to move forward with a later date in September 2020. It’s easy to write out […]
Without a doubt Covid has wreaked havoc on the 2020 wedding season, but it’s also caused many couples to rethink and reimagine their wedding day. For Jaclyn and Jesse, they decided to move forward and roll with the punches as they began to plan their intimate wedding in Jaclyn’s aunt’s backyard in the beautiful back […]
I had the privilege of working with Jen from Vanilla Sprinkle & Co. during a recent editorial at Braestone Farm with Solau Wedding & Events. Her adorable trailer added in a unique feature to the editorial and her sweets were not only gorgeous, but tasted absolutely delicious. Fast forward a few months, and Jen had booked her own […]
I met Natalie, owner of Roam Coffee while photographing an editoral for Lisa K Events in Ajax at Deer Creek Gold Club. She was one of the vendors for the editorial, and being relatively newer to the wedding industry, we wanted to highlight her portable wedding coffee cart. Within 20 minutes, we had captured a […]

Who doesn’t love being at Wasaga Beach during the summer, especially for a beach photo session! I found myself appreciating this summer much more than ever. After months of being limited to travel and often stuck indoors, I wanted to spend every moment I could exploring the area I live in (which happens to be […]

Happy Friday! How in the world are we going into Labour Day weekend? This has been the longest year with the shortest summer, or at least it feels that way for me.

Inspiration from Magna
- Cassidy + Luke
"Magna was professional, fun and easy-to work with. She brought her own ideas and also was open to working with what we had in mind. We laughed a lot and she made the experience comfortable and relaxed. Beforehand her communication was excellent as she got back to me with any questions I had and when I didn't know a specific location to go, she suggested the shoot location and it worked out perfectly. I was thrilled with how the photos turned out and I would use Magna Arnott Photography again and recommend her to others!"
"Magna was professional, fun and easy-to work with."
- Jenn Halliday (Halliday House & CO.)
"Magna is absolutely fantastic to work with!! We connected from the very beginning of our first shoot. She had such a clear understanding of the type of shots I was after, how to style them, and the perfect products to use. The photos turned out amazing, beyond my expectations! I’ve had the pleasure of working with her twice already, and will most definitely be booking with her in the future! Thank you Magna!!"
"We connected from the very beginninG."
- Brittney + Bryan
"Magna’s photography is simply stunning. I’ve always believed that pictures are so special as they are lasting memories. I’ve had the pleasure of having her photograph our engagement, wedding and our gender reveal - all the photos have left me with a smile from ear to ear! I highly recommend her as a photographer for your next event. Also as an added bonus she is an amazing person who makes you feel super comfortable!"

"The Whole Experience And Outcome With Magna Is So Great!"
- Laura + Andrew
"Magna has the kindest heart! We have had several photoshoots together, and we always leave feeling a little extra joy than we came with. She makes us feel comfortable and confident, and sometimes a little silly for those extra special candid shots. Magna suggests beautiful locations, captures magnificent lighting, and provides quick results. She also makes sure to ask, if there’s anything we had in mind before the session ends. From our couple session, to our maternity shoot, and our recent Christmas mini as a family, we have always been more than satisfied with the results."
"Magna has the kindest heart!"
