Sarah & Naomi ~ Wedding Slideshow

Jon Thorpe — Thu, 12 May 2011 22:06:20 +0000

When Sarah and Naomi first sat down in my studio to talk about their wedding plans, the first thought that ran through my head was “Wow, this is going to be a REALLY cool alternative wedding!”.

Full black on black attire, check.
Guys wearing kilts, check.
Awesome hairpieces, check.
Gothic influence, check.
Super awesome couple in love, check.

I decided to process this entire slide show in black and white as I felt it really suited both the couple and tonality of the images captured on their beautiful day.

Venue : Enoch Turner Schoolhouse

Enjoy.

Sam & Ben – The Wedding – Cave Springs Winery – Niagara On The lake

Jon - Union — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 17:35:21 +0000

I have not been blogging much lately as I have been spending much of my time editing and catering to my clients, so I do apologize!

This cute little brunch wedding took place at the picturesque Cave Springs Winery, which is located just outside of the town of Jordan Station, Ontario. Crystal of Distinct Occasions did a stand up job designing the event, which featured a bright blue and yellow pallet – delicious! Speaking of delicious, check out the awesome M&M’s garnishing the cake.

Sam & Ben – Thank you so much for having me out to capture your special day!

Mira & Kyle – The Wedding – Toronto – Beth Tzedec

Well, it’s the New Year and one of my resolutions was to keep on top of the blog. So far – utter fail!

But I do have the excuse of being super busy here. The photo booth has been a HUGE hit and has been occupying a lot of time, bookings are through the roof (only a few spots are left for this year) and I have been working on many little (and big) side projects, to fill in the gaps.

I do have a number of past shoots to post about though, so I will try getting to those over the next while. Stay tuned!

One wedding that I will post, is that of Mira & Kyle. I was actually second shooting this one with my good friend Catherine at Documentographer. She’s always fun to shoot with, as we collaborate and challenge each other throughout the day and it always leads to some spectacular captured moments. Our styles are slightly different, she is more organic and candid, while I really love posing people – it’s always great having different eyes.

I started off the day with Kyle at the Hyatt in Toronto, where we grabbed a few shots before heading over to the stunning house at which Mira was getting ready. The ceremony, reception and other festivities all took place at the beautiful Beth Tzedec Shul, located in Toronto.
