Classy & Elegant Downtown Engagement: Teresa + Tim

July 5 2019 Leave a Comment Categorized: Engagements

Teresa and Tim have been together for 13.5 years! They met through friends when Teresa was in her final year of high school and Tim was in his first year of university and have been inseparable since. Their perfect date night is ordering take out, watching the Raptors or NFL, followed by a movie. They recently scored tickets to watch the Raptors NBA Finals in Toronto since they love them so much!  On one of their anniversaries, Tim told Teresa he had booked a tour of a farm since she ...

Beach Winter Engagement Session: Abi + Shruti

March 27 2019 Leave a Comment Categorized: Weddings

Abi and Shruti's love story started fifteen years ago when they met as kids. They were from different high schools but they volunteered at the same place. They eventually became best friends but when it came to the latter part of their university days, they began dating. Abi and Shruti share a sense of adventure and a desire to experience something new together. After eight years of dating, they were on a two-day trek on the Inca Trails in Machu Picchu, Peru. As they put it - it was Abi's way ...

Downtown Toronto Engagement Session: Nancy + Peter

August 21 2018 Leave a Comment Categorized: Engagements

Nancy and Peter met through mutual friends but before they officially met Peter had already caught Nancy's eye. They've now been together for two years and have become best friends. One of their favourite things to do together is to enjoy a home date with dinner and a movie. What they love most about the other person is how they love, support and really care about each other.  For their engagement session, they chose Osgoode Hall in Downtown Toronto for its beautiful architecture. We ...

Beautiful Jewish Fusion Summer Wedding: Brookie + Matthew

August 8 2018 30 Comments Categorized: Weddings

By looking at these photos, you totally would not have known that most of their wedding day was planned by Matthew's parents. Brookie and Matthew live all the way in Japan - where they met and still live together. Having an overseas wedding myself, I completely understood the difficulty with planning a wedding from afar!  Brookie is actually from Thailand and moved to Japan for work while Matt works as a high school math teacher at an international school in Tokyo. Having lived with each ...

Downtown Toronto Tibetan and Chinese Wedding at Canoe: R + P

July 13 2018 Leave a Comment Categorized: Weddings

R + P have an incredible love story in that they first met in the beautiful Himalaya region of Nepal. It was their Tibetan Buddhist guru's 80th birthday celebration and they were both sitting in the monastery. R didn't have the liturgy so she asked P, who was sitting next to her if she could share with her. P had come from India but was Tibetan by descent and was so struck by the fact that this beautiful Chinese girl from Canada could read classical Tibetan! There was an immediate ...

Natural Engagement Session: Joelle + Ernest

June 20 2018 1 Comment Categorized: Engagements, Featured

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!  Joelle and Ernest are so relaxed and laid back. They so easily laugh and have a good time together. When I asked them what they wanted to remember through these photos, they told me that they "just ...

Pretty Beach Engagement Photos with Fall Colours: Amy + Byron

November 1 2017 28 Comments Categorized: Engagements

Amy and Byron met over two years ago.  Recently, on a three-hour hike in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Byron popped the question. They compliment each other in that Amy gives Byron energy and is always able to make him laugh. Whereas Byron provides optimism and emotional stability in their relationship. One thing that they have in common is they are so loving and playful with one another. For their engagement photos, Amy and Byron chose the beach. I really love their choice for beach ...

A Summer Downtown Toronto Engagement: Maggie + Yutong

July 20 2016 Leave a Comment Categorized: Engagements

So excited to share this romantic summer downtown Toronto engagement session with Maggie and Yutong. Maggie and Yutong actually met at a mutual friend's BBQ over six years ago. After many years of sharing their love of the Bluejays and going to games together and exploring new restaurants, their love for each other grew. Yutong proposed in their home by laying a bunch of rose petals which read the words, "Will you marry me?" So cute! For their Toronto engagement photos, we went to Osgoode Hall ...

Toronto Cherry Beach Fall Engagement Photos: Stephanie + Elliott

October 19 2015 Leave a Comment Categorized: Engagements

I love relaxed engagement sessions, especially ones by the water. I always prefer to include nature in my shoots than urban environments. Water, sand, trees, flowers, and fields are in my opinion so much more gorgeous than human-made structures and make beautiful backdrops for portraits. Although Cherry Beach is located so close to downtown Toronto, you can escape to serenity. With Stephanie and Elliott's engagement session we were lucky to be there when no one else was, giving us the place to ...

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! 💙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
