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."

Magna was the absolute best photographer I could have asked for on my wedding day! From the moment she arrived, she was my hype girl—making me laugh, helping me feel beautiful, and bringing so much fun energy to the day. She was cool, calm, and collected, yet somehow kept everything moving smoothly and stress-free.
Despite the rain, Magna didn't miss a beat! She embraced the weather and managed to capture some absolutely breathtaking photos. Her organization during the planning process made everything easy, and the photos she’s already shared with us are nothing short of exceptional. I can’t wait to see the final album!
If you want stunning photos and a photographer who is professional, talented, and an absolute joy to be around, Magna is the one!

If I could give Magna 6 stars I would! When I began planning my wedding I was told to pick my photographer wisely, because you truly spend the entire day with them. I feel as though we made the BEST choice choosing Magna and her husband to capture our day. Magna is everything you want in a photographer: personable, comforting, approachable, efficient, professional. I could honestly go on and on. Magna has this warm personality about her, that makes you feel as though you've known her forever. It is her warmth, that makes you feel so comfortable and natural that you forget that you're even posing. Resulting in BEAUTIFUL, natural, candid photos, every bride hopes for.
Magna is everything you want in a photographer!

Where to even begin!
Magna was the most incredible photographer we could have asked for. Our Engagement and Wedding photos are an absolute dream! She has sent us well over 100 photos already and we got married less than 1 month ago (talk about service)! Her and Terry are an excellent team. They made my husband and I as well as all our friends and family feel comfortable and natural in our photos. They absolutely crushed the list (which was quite extensive) of photos we requested to have without batting an eye. She made sure we weren't rushed while still working quickly and efficiently.
If I could give them 10 stars I would. I 100% recommend Magna for any sort of photography you may need done. Will definitely be using her for photos in the future!
