Photography Collaborations – Toronto’s Berkeley Church & Sudbury Ontario

Through the course of the wedding season I am usually quite busy managing my own weddings, but I occasionally have the opportunity to work with other photographers to create some truly fantastic collaborative work. I am not going to do full posts on these weddings, but thought I would toss up a few selects for you to enjoy!

The crisp fall air and changing leaves in Sudbury, Ontario provided the setting for a fantastic day and evening of celebration for Kate & Dave’s wedding. I was shooting along side the fantabulous Catherine Farquharson who had been climbing Mt.Kilimanjaro only a day prior and required me to be available as a stand-in just in case. It of course never came to that, as Catherine is a seasoned jet setter, so headed out to enjoy a fantastic fall shoot with a fun couple!

I Just LOVE red roses. The simplicity of Kate’s bouquet really set things off and I just couldn’t keep my lens off it!

Faye & Micheal’s wedding was shot with Dave, who is one half of Dave & Charlotte. The Berkeley Event Center was the setting and is a Toronto location that I truly love shooting at. It was my 3rd wedding captured there and the weather was absolutely perfect as was the ambiance of the venue.

One thing that I love about the Berkley Church is the combination of vibrancy and texture that all of the different hallways, rooms, nooks and cranny’s provide. I feel like I can shoot there 100 times and have a different feel and flavor each time.

Jenn & Jeff – The Wedding – The Berkeley Church

It is no secret that much of my love for wedding photography stems from the fact that I get to work with amazing couples on a regular basis. Jen and Jeff are one of those amazing couples, that I have had the pleasure of getting to know over the past number of months. If you go back a few posts, you will see the cool engagement photos we did, including one of my all-time favorites, which was taken in a local theater! Needless to say, I have been looking forward to their wedding day for some time now.

The day started (and ended off) at the Berkeley Church, which is one of my favorite eclectic venues in the city. This was the second time that I have photographed at the Berkeley Church and it never ceases to disappoint, with it’s myriad of photogenic nooks to explore. Mix that with a “do anything” couple, plus plenty of time to be creative and the results are outstanding!

The wedding itself was one to remember as well, from hilarious speeches (a lot of them) to the amazing band that rocked it out all night long (the Black Eyed Peas cover was great!) and kept the dance floor packed!
