Elizabeth McRae

Wedding & Elopement Photographer based in Petawawa, ON, Canada

For the adventurous and free spirited souls

Hello there! I'm Elizabeth! My friends and family would describe me as fun loving, down to earth and a bit of a hippy. I am that person who will always try something once and successfully talk others in to doing it with me! I'm currently living my dream in Petawawa, ON, Canada, where I get to document love stories of amazing couples through wedding and elopement photography. I am originally from British Columbia, but I've been lucky to call many places home, each one leaving a unique imprint on my soul. When I'm not behind the lens, you can probably find me enjoying the outdoors with my adventurous partner Alex, our nature-loving child, Sebastian, and our sassy corgi, Turnip. Travel has always been another passion of mine and I've been fortunate enough to explore various corners of the world. My adventurous soul led me to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in 2020 - an unforgettable achievement. In 2022, I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer, my world was rocked to the core and defying odds I am here today! I have a purpose to inspire others to live their life to the fullest and to know that life will always have its ups and downs but it will only keep you down if you let it. As a photographer I have brought these philosophies into my work. I cherish every moment whether big or small, pushing you to love deeply and to bask in the present.

Ethereal Love at Eagles Nest Lookout

Greenhouse Engagement Session

Client Love

We have gotten to work with Elizabeth on two occasions now, and both have been an absolute dream! On our wedding day as our second shooter she made photo time such a fun, and welcoming experience both for us and our wedding party. Our groomsmen had a blast with her. She has such a great way of combining her own wonderful ideas for different shots, while also making sure to catch you in the moment making everything look and feel very natural. We got the pleasure of hiking to the top of Eagles Nest with her to take snowy photos in our wedding gear and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Such a fun and memorable experience. Great communication, very fast to get back to you, overall would highly recommend! Can't wait to work with her more!

My wife and I are so glad we chose to work with Elizabeth for our wedding. Throughout the process, she was everything you could ask for in a photographer. She was professional, talented and a pleasure to work with. On our wedding day, she worked extremely well with the rest of our team and captured important moments beautifully. Family, wedding guests, and coworkers were as impressed with the photos as we were. For the cherry on top, all of our photos were ready within a month. We look forward to working with Elizabeth again for other special occasions and would strongly recommend her to anyone seeking a photographer.

Elizabeth was an absolute joy to work with. We used her for our recent wedding and wow. The pictures blew us away! She has a way of getting you to pose but yet capturing the most beautiful moment that looks so natural and not forced. I am obsessed with my photos ❤️ if you are looking for an outgoing, professional, personable photographer who might I mention go out on a hike with you, to take your dream photos; Natural Focus is the only choice. Highly recommend. Thanks so much Elizabeth!
