Welcome to our website

We are Erika & Ryan, the internationally published and award winning photographer team behind Rowell Photography. Specializing in Wedding Photography for Destination Weddings near or far, Portraiture & Family Photography. Located in Barrie Ontario, halfway between Toronto and the Muskokas.
We really do have the best jobs in the world! But it didn’t come without the help of our amazing clients. Thank you!
In 2005 when we started our little photography business, never did we imagine that it would take us on such an exciting journey. From traveling the world to being published in magazines like McLean’s, WedLuxe, Today’s Bride, Weddingbells, B Magazine (Ireland), Perfect Wedding, and tons of online blogs, newspapers near and far, even being interviewed on CBC Radio twice. since then we have been lucky enough to work all across Canada, France, England, Czech Republic, Mexico and Dominican Republic photographing couples in love, growing families and many amazing stories.
What we love most about shooting weddings and engagements is watching each couples love story unfold right before our eyes, its like we are watching them fall in love for the first time. We enjoy the challenge of creating something new and fresh for each couple we meet. We truly love what we do, and hope that our images portray the passion we have for photography and storytelling! We are in the business of telling stories, love stories, family stories and life stories, and we can’t wait to tell yours. We hope to hear from you soon!
-Erika & Ryan

Dusk Till Dawn shoot out

Last Thursday was our annual Dusk till Dawn shoot out in downtown Barrie. Its a great event that connects models and photographers for one night 7pm-7am for some night shooting. Photographers from all industries, and skill levels attended. At one point we had 27 attendees out shooting in a dark tunnel at night.

We got rained out by 2am, so our next event, (maybe this fall) will have to make up for that.

Thank you to all the models, and the photographers who brought their creative game which made for some great imagery.

Here are a few images Ryan and I took, enjoy!

P.S- to any photographers and models who attended, if you would like to leave a link to your images in the comments section of this post, please feel free to, we want to encourage more models and photographers to come out to the next event.
