January 26, 2012 – Jenn + Toby are married (in Jamaica)

admin — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 01:48:22 +0000

I know I’m 26 days late, but Happy New Year everyone, I hope 2012 brings you all happiness and be a fantastic one. I can’t believe January is already done, its supposed to be a down time month for me, but under the contrary, it’s been insanely busy and super awesome! LIKE SUPER AWESOME!!! I’ve had the pleasure of working with some great people, photographing new venues for Bar Mitzvah’s, super duper cute babies and just so much going on.

With all this craziness, I was still able to finish editing Jenn and Toby’s wedding from Jamaica. What better way than to start my first blog of the year than a beautiful destination wedding. Jenn and Toby were married on December 5, this was also my 1 year anniversary, which was also the day they were engaged a year prior. So this date is very sentimental to us all. The morning of the wedding was very relaxed, all the bridesmaids ended up getting ready in my room because it was closest to their beach ceremony location. It worked out amazing, the weather was hot and gorgeous and just how it should be. It was a very emotional ceremony, everyone cried, except the bride! Everything was perfect, it was a great day and amazing super fun night at the disco, which I’ll keep those photos and stories in the private file lol. That’s all I’m saying. Enjoy the photos and congrats Jenn + Toby.

Ladies and Gents, I present to you, Mr. Lebron James!!

Someone forgot to brush their teeth before getting into their wedding dress LOL

These 2 photos below are my FAVOURITE!!! LOVE!!!

December 29, 2011 – Jenn + Toby are engaged (in Jamaica)

On November 30th 2011, 25 of us jumped on air planes and flew to Montego Bay, Jamaica. We stayed at the Grand Palladium to enjoy the week celebration of Jenn + Toby’s wedding. We did 2 engagement sessions, the sun goes down so quick that we decided to split the sessions into 2 days so we can enjoy the sun during the day, and once 4pm hit, we went out for the session. The hotel was stunning, there were so many nukes and crannies to take photos… I really wanted to take advantage of them, we had a blast! The wedding will be coming shortly, there are so many photos to go through, we had such a great time. Here are a few from their engagement session to start the ball rolling. Enjoy~

December 9, 2011 – Melany + Marcin are married!

Melany + Marcin’s wedding was the second last wedding of the year for me. It was a perfect Oct day for me, they had me cover the ceremony and then the bridal portraits at Trafalgar Castle. I could not be more thrilled with the turn out of their photos, Melany was all about her and Martin, the more time with them the merrier, it was a photographers dream We got some amazing classic portraits, one’s that will be cherished by the two of them forever! In a word… TIMELESS!!

This photo of Melany is one of my favourites, I want to frame it and put it in my studio…

I swear I think my blog photo selections are getting bigger and bigger which each wedding… It is sooo hard to narrow down, there are so many great shots! If I say so myself and toot my own horn and Al’s of course.

On October 14th, Wendi + Kim got married at The Avenue banquet, we started the morning off at The Novotel and hung out there for the day, getting ready, doing our big reveal, playing in the subway station hehe… it was great. The wedding ceremony was truly touching and filled with love and emotion. Wendi + Kim said their vows to each other in a whisper to each other, it was so personal, brought tears to theirs and everyone elses’ eyes. They finished off the day with a party of champs, great music, great people, great couple.

Be aware of many wonderful photos, filled with laughs, love and fun! enjoy and congratulations…

October 26, 2011 – Kristel + Mike are married!

admin — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 15:39:20 +0000

After 3 engagement sessions and a year of anticipation and excitement of getting married, Kristel + Mike tied the knot on September 24, the ceremony was lovely, the park was hot and steamy and the venue was decorated beautifully.

The whole week leading up to their wedding, the weather was calling for rain and over cast… over cast I can deal with but rain… blah and we were scheduled to go to Humber College for photos so rain I did not want. To our delight there was ZERO rain and ZERO over cast, some how the sun gods listened to our prayers and came out. From a calling cast of 16 and rain, it turned out to be 25 and sunny… ok enough about the weather!

This couple is awesome… I can’t say enough nice things about them, they are so genuine, so in love… Mike is such a joker, we had some serious laughs that made for some great shots! To no surprise, we are definitely building a fantastic friendship and are planning a 80′s movie marathon night

I don’t want to babble to much because this is a LOOONG photo blog… lots of pics on this one, I couldn’t cull it down anymore, I just LOVED their photos, Al and I killed this one! Enjoy~

The photos below are a serious of a bunch, Mike surprised Kristel by learning how to play guitar and singing to her Bruno Mars’ Just The Way You Are… she was so surprised, it was the sweetest thing ever!
