David and Ginette - August 27

David and Ginette were married at the beautiful Casa Loma in Toronto.
It's a wonderful place for photographic opportunities. Lots of big windows with great natural light. I love shooting there.

Here are a few of my favs from the day.

I love the start of the day, the bridal preparations.
This is also one of my favorite pics from the day.


David about to see Ginette for the first time in her gorgeous dress!



This little flower girl was too cute!

This is not a typical wedding shot, but I could not resist, she was standing on the other side of a glass door, a bit dark, but something about this shot I really like.
Dinner was delicious!
A gorgeous conservatory with an incredible domed stained glass ceiling, this is where their ceremony took place.
This was their engagement portrait taken in June.

Fall is here!

Well unfortunately the summer is coming to an end.
It has been a busy one around here. But the fall season is
my favorite time of year. Especially for outdoor photo sessions.
Fall is a great time for engagement sessions as the colors are really spectacular.
Yesterday I shot an Engagement session with Carrie and Paul.
They are getting married next September at a winery in the Niagara area.
I am looking forward to shooting their wedding. I enjoy these "e-sessions" with my clients
as it gives us an opportunity to get to know each other abit better before the wedding.
So if you would like to take advantage of this beautiful time of year, please contact me, and I would be happy to set something up!

Evan and Colette - August 26

Evan and Colette held their wedding at a cute little place called The Mackenzie Inn, near Kirkfield, On. A beautiful, overcast day. Perfect lighting conditions.
This little flower girl was so cute, She had her walk down pat!
I love the grainy look of this image, an effect I used to achieve using hi speed black and white film. Now with digital imaging, and photoshop the creative possibilities are endless.
Sometimes I will take one image, like the one above, crop it add my artistic enhacements, and end up with a completely different looking image.She was so cute I couldn't decide which image to blog, so I'm using two.
My assistant Yianni took this detail shot. I really like it!

Dhimo and Kalpesh - August 20

This was my second Indian wedding this weekend.
I've covered many Hindu Weddings in the past.
This has to be one of the coolest.
Dhimo's family are Sri Lankan, so there were some cultural traditions I had not seen before.
It was a 14 hour day, filled with lots of color, a little chaos, incredible details,
and the results; I think were well worth it!
There was so much going on, that the day just flew by!
Dhimo and Kal were a fun couple, and made my job so easy!
This was another weekend that reminded me how much I LOVE my job!

This shot was taken at Dhimo's Mehndhi party two days before the wedding.




The Bridesmaids looked great, in sorbet colored Sari's


This is one of my favorite shots from the day, taken just seconds before Kal placed a ring on Dhimo's toe.
Here the Sacred Thaali, (necklace) and Bridal Sari are taken around to all the guests to recieve blessings.
The bride and groom join hands with the maid of honor and best man and take seven steps around the sacred fire, making vows at each step.
I love this moment captured with the parents.


A Sri Lankan tradition; the guests all come and sprinkle rice over the newly married couple to
bless them with a happy and contented life.

A sweet moment captured right after the couple exchange garland.




My associate Michael was a big help this day. This is one of his shots.

Ekta and Akash - August 19

I have been so fortunate this year to have some of the greatest couples!
Ekta and Akash; have to be near the top of my list! Very gracious, and sincerely
thoughtful, I loved being part of this beautiful, colorful, and sentimental day.
Thank you Ekta and Akash for entrusting me to document this event. I think we captured some beautiful images.
The Hindu ceremonies are full of beautiful customs, and traditions. These make for
great detail images.





A bittersweet moment as Akash, his Mother, and Ekta take a moment from the ceremony to honor Akash's father.
