Amazing Experience - Engagement and Wedding Photo Shoot

My Husband, Richard, and I have had such an amazing experience with Heather as a photographer (and friend!). She was recommended by a good friend of ours at their wedding, and from there we asked Heather to take our engagement photos.

Richard and I have never had our photos taken professionally outside of arranged school photos, and we couldn’t have had a more amazing, personable time with Heather. Driving to our shoot I remember being so nervous (will I be awkward? Will they look good?), but that all went away because Heather makes you feel so comfortable. She makes the experience so fun. From setting up the shoot to driving home, we knew we were in good hands. During the whole shoot she was filled with amazing ideas, guided us in our poses and was so encouraging - exactly what we were hoping for. We were thrilled with the quality of the photos we received.

From then, we booked Heather to photograph our wedding. We had so many emotions that day, but one thing we didn’t have to worry about was our photo and video team. From the start to end of our day, Heather guided us through the process and took photos of our most important and intimate moments with family, friends and each other. We leaned on her through this process and rightfully so. We had ample sneak peaks and our photos were delivered exactly when expected. They were beautiful, timeless and we are so, SO thankful. If you’re looking for the photographer who will make you feel natural, beautiful and make you belly laugh throughout your experience, you’ve found one in Heather and Filled With Light Photography. We love you! Thank you for everything.

Absolutely Amazing!

We worked with Heather for our engagement photos and for our wedding photos and the entire experience was amazing! Heather is great at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera and helps so much with posing to strike a great balance of posed and natural!
On our wedding day, Heather was so positive and supportive and we had so much fun working with her! She helped keep everything on schedule and was overall a great companion to have with us all day!
We got our photos back promptly and are over the moon with how they turned out!! We are going to cherish these photos forever and we are so happy that we worked with Filled With Light Photography for our wedding! We have printed literally every single photo they're just that good!

The best wedding photographer!

Heather at Filled with Light was absolutely amazing to work with. I could not be happier that we booked her as our wedding photographer. From the first zoom call (yes, we had 2 prior to the big day which I loved!), Heather was extremely professional, personable and truly took the time to listen/hear to our vision. I was so impressed on how she was able to find the most perfect locations to match the style of photos we wanted to capture. We had so much fun with Heather all through the day and evening! The compliments have not stopped from friends and family who we have shared our albums with. 5 stars! Highly recommend!

A joy to work with!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Heather; we worked with her for our engagement shoot and our wedding in October 2021. Heather ensures that you are comfortable in front of the camera (which is saying a lot when you're a super, duper awkward person!). She even comes prepared with a mini speaker to play all the jams at your outdoors-at-7-in-the-morning-to-get-that-magical-glow-lighting photo sesh - that's dedication!

Heather is exceptionally kind, energetic, and just fun to be around, making the whole process so easy. She has an eye for creative details and creates beautiful photos that are classic but also unique - she captures your "story" in a very authentic way. The candid and natural style drew me in to Heather's work, as the photos look effortless. Personality is just as important as the work when you're working so closely with someone capturing important memories, and Heather is a joy to work with. Thank you!

Filled with Light Photography

I can’t recommend Heather enough! Our engagement pictures are incredible but our wedding photos - STUNNING. She absolutely exceeded our expectations and captured our day perfectly. She was so flexible, accommodating and understanding throughout the postponing process. And she is so kind, funny and a blast to work with. You will not regret hiring Filled with Light Photography!

Fun to work with, great photos!

It was a pleasure to work with Heather for our wedding. We rescheduled twice due to covid restrictions and she was flexible and accommodating both times. We felt comfortable and relaxed during all of our photos. Our finished pictures are gorgeous and we couldn't be happier!

Best Personality

What can I say besides Heather is absolutely amazing. From her responses to emails as well as speaking with her on the phone you can tell she loves what she does and she cares about her clients. Her pictures speak a million words. You can tell that she tries to capture all the love in each and every photo.
She wants to help make your day as special as possible. While my fiance and I did go another route (it was a very difficult and heart wrenching decision to make but it had nothing to do with her or pricing which was an amazing price) I will definitely be calling her for any future events we may need. If you want a photographer full of life and who has the most bubbly, kind hearted personality then choose her!

Heather is absolutely amazing!

When my husband and I started planning our wedding, we knew the most important thing to us was a photographer (and good food of course!). When we first met with Heather, we knew she was the one! She made our engagement picture ideas come to life, and we were soooo happy with our choice.

We just received our wedding photos yesterday, and WOW. She has out done herself again! They are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined and I am so thankful for all of her hard work. We will cherish these photos forever.

If you are looking for an amazingly talented and down to earth photographer, you need to contact Filled With Light Photography! Very affordable and quick turnaround time. (Not to mention she is one of the nicest people I have ever met!)

An incredibly talented, friendly and amazing photographer - Heather is officially our photographer for life!

Where do I even begin with Heather!

From the get go, she was of the warmest and most easy going people to speak with - from initial discussions we instantly felt comfortable and at ease with her and knew she was the one.

We first met in person to do our engagement photos, and they turned out amazing!!! She was able to keep us relaxed in front of her camera (something we're not the best at), and through lots of laughing and having fun, we ended up with an amazing set of photos that TRULY captured us, our neighbourhood and our love, and we couldn't wait to share them.

Leading up the wedding, again, we had the nicest and friendliest communication with her - she is so genuine and you can tell she is just as excited for your big day as you are! We did a venue tour with her as well, since we had an unusual space, so we could pre plan some great spots for photos.

As for the actual wedding - the pictures are PERFECT! Again, she puts you at such ease, it was an absolutely breeze working with her. What's even more impressive, is that she did our wedding as one-woman show, and still managed to capture each moment from every angle.

One of the most standout moments to me though, was when the fire alarm went off during our cocktail hour (everything was okay, but we had to evacuate for a bit). She could tell that we were stressed out and worried, so she made a point to get us away from the crowd of everyone, so we could take the time to get some more shots of the two of us in the garden. She helped keep us distracted, and made sure to make the absolute most of every minute, and legitimately eased my anxiety around the fire alarm situation. And we even got some memorable wedding photos on the fire truck that answered the alarm haha!

She even stuck with us at the wedding well into the dancing, and captured some truly memorable photos of us having the time of our lives on the dance floor.

Just 4 weeks after the wedding, she delivered us fully edited shots that we'll cherish forever! Her soft and romantic editing is truly breathtaking - she is so talented. And just to top everything off, we received our photos in a beautiful decorated wooden box, complete with a touching note handwritten by her.

If you're even considering working with Heather, just go ahead and book her - you won't regret it. Heather is truly one of our friends now, and we're so happy to have her in our lives. We love you Heather!!!
