Classic Shangri-La Hotel Wedding: Tera + Michael

August 3 2018 Leave a Comment Categorized: Weddings

Tera and Michael's wedding day had a beautiful classic wedding at the Shangri-La Hotel in downtown Toronto.

She paired the look with a silver pair of Miu Miu heels and a mauve and white bouquet made with a combination of orchids and roses.  Tera requested a few "moodier" shots as part of her ...

Elegant Downtown Toronto Shangri-La Hotel Wedding: Cheryl + Chris

September 28 2017 27 Comments Categorized: Featured, Weddings

When Chris was growing up, his parents would joke - if it takes him such a long time to find a pair of jeans he likes, how would he ever find a suitable wife? Even his best friend Sam knew that Chris was very picky and especially when it comes to finding his special someone. But one day Chris decided to drive all the way to Ottawa to meet Cheryl. Sam was so surprised because Chris was the kind of guy who liked to, in his words - "maximise the amount of value with the lowest amount of effort". So ...

Instagram post 2197539212006542490_2088877172 When I first became a wedding photographer, I was focused much focused on learning how to photograph bride and grooms - how to pose them, how to find good locations, how to find pretty light. But what came so naturally to me was to look for these special moments in between. The moments that are so fleeting and you wouldn't remember otherwise. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I get so many clients who come back to me after a wedding and say "oh my gosh, I don't even remember that happening!" But because we have it photographed, they now have it encapsulated for the rest of their lives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's a true skill in waiting around for these special moments and snapping it before it goes away. I describe it almost like safari hunting. You're always on the lookout. Always on the hunt. But when you get that magical one in million shot - it's so satisfying because these happy moments should be treasured forever. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Joelle and Ernest first met while at a common friend's house practising music for leading Worship for a Sunday service. After two years of dating, Ernest proposed on a trip to Niagara. As they were atop the Ferris Wheel overlooking Niagara Falls popped the question. So romantic! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their engagement session was just as romantic. We photographed in one of my fav spots in this city!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
