Classical + Opulent Liberty Grand Wedding: Teresa + Tim

October 1 2019 Leave a Comment Categorized: Featured, Weddings

Teresa and Tim's magical wedding day was elegant, classic and undoubtedly beautiful. A long time ago, Teresa fell in love with Liberty Grand. It was completely fitting. She loved the big windows, the classical architecture, the high ceilings and the gorgeous chandeliers. It completely matched the English wedding theme that Teresa wanted. After attending her cousin's wedding in England, she was inspired "Victorian" style but wanted her wedding to still have a modern touch. They had chosen dusty ...

Markham Hilton Suites Wedding: Tanya + Nikhil

August 1 2019 Leave a Comment Categorized: Weddings

Tanya and Nikhil had a beautiful fusion wedding of both of their cultures at the Markham Hilton Suites. Nik's family is Hindu and Tanya's family is Parsi so they incorporated two ceremonies to honour both of their cultural backgrounds.  Before their wedding ceremony, Tanya and Nik decided to see each other beforehand. It was such a cute moment in the hotel's Zen Garden where they were both beaming full of joy. We then headed over to Toogood Pond near Unionville for their wedding ...

Toronto Island Airport Engagement: Salimah + Fariz

February 13 2019 Leave a Comment Categorized: Engagements, Featured

Who would have thought that the amazing Northern Lights would have brought these two together? Fariz and Salimah's dad were working together on the construction of the Toronto Ismaili Centre and the Aga Khan Museum. It was then when Salimah took a trip out to Yellowknife to see the Northern Lights. Fariz thought this was really interesting and reached out to her to hear about her trip. After a few coffees, Fariz wanted to move onto a real dinner date with her but Salimah had already friend-zoned ...

Sheena and Amar are both from Kenya but moved to Toronto a number of years ago with their family. Although both of their families knew each other but they didn't really hang out much until later.

It ended up being a huge surprise to Sheena and it just sounds so romantic - like out of a movie! Sheena and ...

Toronto Christmas Market Wedding

Erin and Alex met through mutual friends in 2011 but then later crossed paths again at a Nuit Blanche party later that year. This time, they knew it was fate. They spoke all night and developed an incredibly close friendship over the following months. By the end of the year, their friendship turned into a relationship and they have been inseparable ever since.  Five years later, they took the next step and moved in together and adopted their pride and joy, a dog who they named Polo. When it ...

Estates of Sunnybrook Fall Wedding: Samantha + Richard

October 11 2018 15 Comments Categorized: Weddings

Toronto Estates of Sunnybrook Fall Wedding

On Samantha and Richard's first date, they headed to Niagara. When the server at Peller Estates asked them whether they would like to have some wine, Richard's response was "it's always noon somewhere". It was the line that got Samantha and they now love to regularly take trips to Niagara together.  We arrived early in the morning to capture their Chinese tea ceremony at Samantha's home. Unfortunately this October day was a chilly and a little wet, so they opted to have their wedding ...

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.

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!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
