It all began with a 6-megapixel Olympus camera and a love for life's "candid" moments. I took it everywhere, from our backyard garden to trips to Europe. Over the years, I began to deeply cherish those images, even the quirky spur-of-the-moment ones, and I knew I wanted other's to have that same feeling of joy in reminiscing in their most beloved memories. We all want the 'grand moments of life' frozen into a single frame, but if you're anything like me, you love the RAW candid moments just as much.
It's been many years, and many camera upgrades, but my goal has remained the same: capture the authentic. If that matches your vision, fill out the contact form and let's get started.

From owner and lead photographer,
3 of 3
I'm the owner and lead photographer of Magna Arnott Photography or MAP for short, because trust me, we'll be going on an adventure together. I've been in business since 2012, and have years of experience in editorial work, weddings, and specialized portraits. My office is located in the quaint town of Elmvale, Ontario, but I work primarily in Collingwood, Tiny, Blue Mountain, and love to travel (especially to mountains)! I'm passionate about connecting with couples who are deeply in love and have a bit of spunk. Recently married (yay for being a covid-bride) to my handsome guy, Terry, who often second shoots on wedding days. On a regular day, you'll find me running 5k, sipping on some tea, or volunteering at my church.
Hi, I'm Magna!

"Magna and her partner Terry were an absolute dream to work with! Everyone that was part of our wedding had wonderful things to say about them. My now husband, is not the most photogenic and doesn't feel confidant taking pictures. Magna and Terry have such a way with people to make us feel comfortable and confidant. I've never had such great pictures taken of me or my parter. They are very professional and incredibly funny and kind people! I 1000% recommend them, if you're looking for beautiful candid and creative pictures for your wedding. I strongly suggest giving them a call and booking them for your big day! Thanks again, Magna, for your beautiful work. I'm astounded by the amount and the quality of the pictures you took. You captured the true essence of our day and I'll be forever grateful for that."

"One of the most talented and creative photographers we have ever had the experience of using. Her bright and beautiful vision for every special moment made our wedding so seamless and timeless. We will cherish our photos of our special day forever. We could not have captured such timelessness without her gift of envisioning those unique, unplanned moments on that special day.Thank you Magna!"
"ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED AND CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHERS".
- Clara & Matthew
"We had Magna as our wedding photographer, and we were so happy with everything! She was so professional, but also made everything easy and natural. On your wedding day it’s important to have a photographer who can also be fun to take the nerves away, and Magna did a fantastic job with that! 10000% would recommend Magna for any photos you might need."
