Florina & Alan are two of the most easygoing, fun and enjoyable people I have photographed – and it really shows!

We had a great time wandering the Toronto waterfront and used the time we had to capture some lively photos and to get to know each other.

Thanks Flo & Alan!

Trisha & Paul ~ A Winter Wedding on the Lake

As we finally enter the warmpth of Spring, I know that the last thing you want to see is more snow, but I just have to share this little gem from when things were still frozen.

Trisha and Paul both love the winter and didn’t mind braving the frigid winds of Lake Ontario so that we could capture some stunning imagery of them with the Oakville harbor in the background.

I just love the look of Trisha’s dress and could not help but stylize a few classically inspired shots with simple window light.

Melanie & David – Toronto Engagement Photography

I really love engagement shoots for the way that they allow me to connect with couples, make them feel comfortable and help them break down any walls that they may have when it comes to being in front of a camera. I had a fantastic time hanging out with Melanie & David for an evening and came out of the shoot with some fantastic and playful imagery that they will be able to cherish for a lifetime.

One thing that you will notice from these photos, is that my sessions are fairly long and can bridge a number of different environments and times of day. It allows me to provide my couples with a diverse range or imagery that is exciting, intimate and unique.

Thank you so much for spending an evening with me, Melanie & David. It was a pleasure working with the both of you!
I have to say that I am in LOVE with the last shot of you in your Toronto FC jerseys!

Kristy & Tyler – The Wedding – The Empire Sandy

~ Never thought I’d be on a boat. Its A Big Blue Watery Road. I’m On A Boat! ~

Okay enough with the SNL references, but I actually have never shot a wedding on the high seas before, so when Kristy and Tyler mentioned that they would be exchanging vows on one of Toronto’s Tall Ships, I was pretty excited! The Empire Sandy was first put into service during the war as a tug boat, tasked with aiding battle damaged ships in the deep sea – quite a contrast to it’s modern day usage as a tour boat, plying the waters of Lake Ontario!

Kristy and Tyler are such a cute, fun couple and were a total pleasure to work with throughout the day! Enjoy the teasers!
