I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Jess & Griffin over the last four years, capturing their journey from engagement to now, their beautiful wedding day at Three Feathers Terrace. This stunning venue, nestled in nature, was the perfect backdrop for their love story, even on a very hot and humid day. Thankfully, the weather held […]
Together with their friends and family, Lacey and Cameron tied the knot at the gorgeous Northbrook Farm in Orillia (which forever holds a special place in my heart, as it was our wedding venue too). Lacey and Cameron flew in from beautiful, British Columbia, to have their wedding back in Simcoe County so that all […]
Ali and Jacob’s Italian wedding in the GTA was truly special, and naturally my husband and second-shooter, Terry, connected with Jacob’s family right off the bat. It was clear that Ali & Jacob value family deeply, and I was touched to see how they chose to honour their grandparents and family members throughout the day. […]
Mel & Jon were married at their family’s cottage in Muskoka in 2021, but not even the torrential downfall of rain could rain out their celebration. They tied the knot with a very initiate group of family and friends in their cottage’s living room. Fast forward to 2022 and they opted to celebrate BIG with […]
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 […]
When Shanna, a talented and kind psychotherapist in Barrie, reached out for a personal branding mini session, she admitted she wasn’t a big fan of having her photo taken. But, as with many of my clients, my goal is to make the experience relaxed, natural, and—most importantly—reflective of who they are. Shanna’s session was all […]
Recently, I had the opportunity to work with Carole, a real estate agent from Georgian Bay, to help update her personal branding. Carole wanted her images to reflect her classy, elevated, and professional brand that she’s worked hard at building up. Carole’s style and professionalism shone through in every shot. I focused on capturing her confidence […]

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 […]
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 […]
If you haven’t figured it out yet, I love the Collingwood lakefront and boardwalk! It’s one of my favourite go-to spots, and with views of Blue Mountain, who can resist it for a summer engagement session. Anyway, Meet Jordi and Kylie, the sweetest duo, who just ooze love for one another. We’ve had a few […]
Lavender farms are all the rage this summer (our lavender minis SOLD OUT in two weeks), especially as the fields are such a romantic backdrop for any engagment, anniversary, or family photo session. Patricia and Jose thought Purple Hill Lavender Farm in Creemore would make for the perfect location for their 10 year anniversary session. […]
Do you ever wish your partner would express their feelings and share with you all the romantic details from the first day you met? This romantic proposal at Glen Oro Farm is what Hallmark Movies are made after. Hiren wanted to surprise his girlfriend, Seema, with a romantic getaway with a private glamping dome filled […]
Is there anything better than autumn in the country? The answer is no, this rustic farm engagement session highlighted everything that I love about autumn: colourful leaves, wide-open fields, sunflowers, and pumpkins, and the best part: love. Meet Mel & Jon, two very down to earth and fun people to be around. Mel’s sister Ali, […]

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!"

- 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!"

- 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!"
