About
Hii!!! My name is Lisa Hughes. I specialize in Wedding, Portrait, Family and Event Photography serving Whitby, Oshawa, Ajax, Kawarthas and GTA! I recently got engaged in July 2022 and it was totally a surreal moment. I feel so incredibly lucky to have met my person. He's just the best and now I know how my clients feel.
I started my photography journey back in 2014 and have since photographed over 225 weddings, over 350 family sessions and more countless memories. My goal as your photographer is to not only capture all the best and fleeting moments throughout our sessions, events and weddings but at the same time have fun and blend right in. I love to laugh with my clients, be silly and am pretty well down for anything. I've been known to crawl into lakes and prickly bushes to get the perfect shot. Let's just say I am a little out of the box and am always open to new adventures! Some people also call me a part time wedding coordinator.
Some More fun info on my life!
I own two beautiful doggos. A Shiz Poo (Sasha) and a Nova Scotia Duck Toller (Penny)
Yes, dogs are always welcomed to our shoots (any animal)
I absolutely love the outdoors, hiking, camping and most of all fishing.
I started a second photography company in 2020, all about the outdoors and since then my images have been on the cover of Ontario Out of Doors Magazine.
I love wine and midday naps.
And I love to enjoy life to its fullest. We only live once.
If I seem fit for you, I would absolutely love to chat further! Also willing to travel and fly anywhere around the world! I would love to capture more country side weddings and am willing to do the daily drives up to 3 hours back and forth to your wedding. If you're interested in chatting further please email info@lisahughes.ca for more information - responses within 48 hours!

Lisa was the best!
Lisa is an absolutely gem of a photographer. She is kind, patient, generous, funny and was so helpful throughout the whole day. She has such an infectious positive energy and made the whole experience smooth and easy.
She is an incredibly talented photographer who cares about her clients. We love our photos and cannot recommend Lisa enough.

You'll want Lisa to capture all your big events, and the small ones too!
If you don't have a photographer yet, book Lisa NOW!
We were so happy with our photos! They not only captured all the special moments from our big day, but all the emotion of it too!
Perhaps even more importantly, Lisa was a wonderful part of our day. She made sure we were never overwhelmed, and allowed us to have genuine moments, not just poses.

Wedding Photography
WOW, the way you captured our favorite day...5+ Stars!!!
As you know, planning a wedding is alot of work and once it's done all you have are your memories and photos. As we looked through all the photos, you took us right back to our favorite day. All the laughs, tears and joy were captured beautifully and now we have them forever. We can look back to our favorite day any time we want - THANK YOU!!
Every wedding is different and there are aspects of the wedding that are meaningful and special to each couple. Your attention to our special details shines through your photos and we're forever grateful to have our special moments as a keepsake.
When we're asked for a recommendation for a photographer, know that we will forever share your name.

Amazing Photographer, Friendly & Personable
I knew I wanted to hire Lisa to do our wedding photos prior to even being engaged. She has shot a handful of my friends/coworkers weddings before. They raved about how personable and fun Lisa was and how they felt like they were hanging out with a long time friend all day. After sending the entire day with her I could not agree more. Her second shooter Jamie was also an absolute delight to work with and help keep my 2 year old nephews attention for all of our family portraits.
Lisa was very easy going and provided great direction for my husband and I. Silly prompts that may have felt weird to do but we knew the final outcome would be worth it. She was amazing about getting us a very comprehensive sneak peaks within 2 weeks. Way more photos than we were expecting and much faster as well. We can't wait to see the rest of our gallery in a few months!
Lisa was a joy to have at our wedding and highly highly recommend her to you. I can already tell you that we will be back with Lisa for any professional photography needs we will have in the future.

Amazing wedding photographer
Thank you to Lisa for making our engagement and wedding memories truly unforgettable! Although initially thinking we would be camera shy, it didn't take long for us to feel comfortable and relaxed when meeting Lisa. Her personality, talent and experience definitely showed during the wedding planning process and through her beautiful photos. She went above and beyond by helping us with our wedding day timeline, gathering our ring bearers and flower girl, following us around in the rain, and capturing our special day to look like a fairytale. We have already received so many compliments on our wedding photos, and can't wait to proudly display them in our home.

Lisa is the best! BOOK HER NOW
My title says it all. Lisa just sent us the file from our Oct 2022 wedding. It has over 800 photos in it and every. single. one. is. GORGEOUS!!!!
What an amazingly stunning fall day for a wedding we got and Lisa captured every second of it. Stunning.
She's an amazing person and a total pro at wrangling our enormous families. Cannot recommend enough! Her engagement session was also awesome, good way to get to know each other and sort of a dry run for the big day! Check out these photos! You'll get it!

Best wedding photographer out there!
Working with Lisa was nothing short of a dream. I was lucky enough to have Lisa capture so many of life’s special moments, from our proposal, to engagement photos and of course our wedding day! I was nervous being in front of the camera, but Lisa made me feel extremely comfortable and relaxed. Not only did work hard to get every single important photo, she was so fun and creative, and we have SO many special moments captured for life. Lisa is such a fun, outgoing person, with so much experience and talent under her belt. Lisa has quickly become a friend, and I think anyone who has worked with her will say the same. If you’re looking for a photographer who will make you feel extremely comfortable, have you laughing ALL day, and someone to capture every single detail, some you don’t even think of yourself, then do NOT hesitate to work with Lisa. I promise your expectations will be blown out of the water. We love you Lisa!❤️

The best decision we've ever made (besides marrying each other)!
Where do I begin? The only reason I would consider not giving Lisa a 5-star rating is that her work is so good that I don't want her to become too well-known and lose time for us! Fortunately, I could never be selfish enough to deprive others of Lisa's work and its magical quality. Lisa made me feel as comfortable as possible in front of the camera from our engagement shoot to our wedding day (which is no easy feat because I'm incredibly awkward). She also assisted with scheduling, coordinated with our other vendors, and went above and beyond anything we could have expected. The most important part is finally here: receiving our photos. Since getting engaged, I've battled the crippling fear that I wouldn't be able to find photos that I liked because of my insecurities. I wanted to keep these memories because it was easily the best day of my life so far, but I knew I was incredibly hard on myself and was afraid I wouldn't like the way I looked. I had no idea how nervous I was until Lisa sent over that magnificent link, and as I went through the photos, I fell in love with the memories, the man in the photos, and honestly, I fell in love with myself a little bit more. How powerful is that? She made me feel beautiful, like a princess. I struggled to find photos I didn't like (in a sea of photos), and that was everything I hoped for but never imagined was possible - not just for my wedding day, but in general. So, Lisa, thank you. Thank you for being so much fun, for making our big day even more spectacular, and for giving me that feeling of self-love that I often lack. You have lifelong repeat customers, and I would (will) strongly recommend Lisa to anyone getting married, doing a fall shoot, or anything in between!

Best wedding photographer!
Lisa is amazing!! She has such a talent with lighting and really making you feel comfortable. She will have you laughing the whole time while capturing the best version of your family in her photos.
We’ve used Lisa for engagement photos and our wedding. We could not have been happier with the photos! We are now doing maternity photos with her next week and cannot wait!
Our wedding photos turned out better than I could’ve ever imagined.
