Stuart and Michael - July 25th

Stuart and Michael have been together for 25 years!
Wow, what an amazing achievement.
On July 25th, 2006 they made their union legally official!
The ceremony was performed by Rev. Brent Hawkes of MCC Toronto.
(One of the leaders in making equal marriage rights in Canada a reality.)
Congratulations guys!

Kerry and Jeremy - July 8th

Kerry and Jeremy were married on July 8th at the Granite club in Toronto.
(I'm just getting to these now, my apologies, it's been crazy busy!)
I think we got some great shots!

I'm not sure what was said here, but the officiant, Kerwin Davies was quite amusing! He really knew how to put everyone at ease, a refreshing change from the norm! I love using natural light when I'm shooting, it brings out the real essence and mood of the scene, candle light is a good example of this.

This is another example of using ambient light. It's also one of my favorite shots from the day.

Jennifer and Thomas - July 1

Jen and Thomas had their wedding at the Liberty Grand in Toronto. What a beautiful event!
After the ceremony we stopped off for a few photos at The Adamson Estates.
Her flowers were amazing! Glendora Blake from Gorgeous Blooms did a great job,
I don't know how she managed to sew these little Rhinestone hearts on the delicate bouquet, but it looked incredible. Jen looked incredible too! I loved the back of her dress!
This is Glendora, a bit surprised by Jen and Tom's arrival at the Liberty Grand!

Music was a big part of this wedding, From a Marriachi Band, to the amazing band; True North Brass, and the Legendary Guido Basso Playing the Flugal horn. What a night!





To top all this off we went outside for an amazing view of the Canada day fireworks.
There's a couple shots below, (Happy Birthday Canada)

Lori and David - June 25

Lori and David had a quaint wedding at Auberge Du Pommier in Toronto.
This is a beautiful venue and one of my favorite places to photograph.
The day after their wedding I received this wonderful email from Lori and David and thought I would share it here;

Andrew,
To you and Michael, we cannot thank you enough for an incredible experience.
Your professionalism and skill is second to none and you made all of us feel so comfortable throughout the entire evening.
The memories you helped create will last us a lifetime.
Fondly,
Lori and David.


My associate Michael caught this moment from behind.

While I caught it from the front angle.Another great shot by my associate Micheal!

David and Lori, doing their Hora!

Elisabeth and Andrew, June 24th

Ok, Trying to get caught up on my blogging.
Elisabeth and Andrew had their wedding at Fantasy Farm. It was my first time there,
and it was a cute little place. The late afternoon light was beautiful in the back garden.

Pure and Simple

This is Ekta and Akash. They are getting married next month!
We shot their engagement portrait on Friday afternoon.
A hot day in Toronto, we spent a couple hours walking around my neighbourhood.
There are lots of cool storefronts and art galleries in the area, we got some nice shots.
(I think I wore them out with all the walking about!)
Then we came back to my studio for a few last shots. What I like about this photo is it's simplicity! It really says alot about what I try to capture in my work; relationships, and emotion.

Happy Birthday Canada!

Jennifer and Thomas were married yesterday at the Liberty Grand in Toronto.
As it was Canada day, we decided to go out to get some shots with the fireworks.
The area was packed with people, we moved in for a better view, I thought all the spectators would be upset as we were blocking their view, when all of a sudden everyone broke out in applause for the happy couple! It was a great moment!
I will be posting more shots soon!
