When Should You Book Your Wedding Vendors: A Timeline Guide

July 6 2017 Leave a Comment Categorized: Tips

So you're engaged! Hooray! But what next? I remember thinking back to the time I got engaged. It's a blissful moment and I enjoyed it for a couple of months. I didn't want to think about planning a wedding. But the questions were constant and endless.  "How's your wedding planning going?" "When's the wedding?" "Have you got your dress yet?"  "Have you booked your venue?" "What kind of wedding do you want?" "Who is going to shoot YOUR wedding?" That's when the anxiety ...

While we as a wedding photographer, have been to hundreds of weddings, we understand how overwhelming it can be to make all the decisions on your own. It's ...

Our Official Bridal Guide Is Here!

November 30 2016 Leave a Comment Categorized: Tips, Weddings

I know what it is like to be a bride. I mean, I was just a bride not too long ago. Having seen so many weddings first hand, I felt like I was ahead from the get-go. Now, of course, we wanted our wedding to be beautiful and all our family and friends who attended to have a great time. Especially since we had a destination wedding, people travelled quite a distance to celebrate with us so that was definitely out priority! But for me (and I'm sure many many others) want beautiful timeless ...

Wedding Photography Tips: Bridesmaids

April 30 2015 2 Comments Categorized: Tips

Although during the bridal prep we are focused on you as the bride, it is also a moment where you’re enjoying time with your bridesmaids and your family. It is helpful to have all bridesmaids and family who are present during the bridal preparation session that they come appropriately dressed (with hair/makeup done). This is to ensure they are looking their best if they end up being in any of the photos! We LOVE matching bridesmaid robes and it makes for cute bridesmaid portraits during this ...

Instagram post 2189086478013884723_2088877172 Christine and Paul had been together 18 years before tying the knot. Although they no longer had that fairytale kind of love, they both have a very deep strong love that connects them both. I love that about them, that after all these years of being together – their love is still so strong. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Christine and Paul have always lived by the water. They are always subconsciously drawn to it. We photographed their engagement session on the water. They also then celebrated their wedding at @palaisroyaleballroom which overlooks Lake Ontario. After their wedding, they finished building their home which is right by the water too! 💙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
