Hello from Jamaica Mon!

Wednesday, October 26, 2011 Posted in Photography, Wedding

It’s always fun heading somewhere exotic to shoot, and doing so with good friends at your side is just the icing on the cake.

This week I am in Jamaica at the Gran Bahia Resort (Runaway Bay) photographing my good friend Ryan as he ties the knot with his beau Michelle. I worked with Ryan for a number of years when I was a graphic designer, and was excited when I was invited to play the role of guest / photographer at the wedding!

I will be editing the photos from the wedding over the next few days, so stay tuned. In the meantime, I will post a pretty cool photo from the other night – a view from my hotel room, with Hurricane Rita in the background!

Aneesh & Dave ~ An Eglington Grand Wedding!

Thursday, October 13, 2011 Posted in Photography, Portraits, Wedding

If you are going to have a grand wedding, you may as well make it an Eglington Grand wedding!

When my good friend Dave (of Dave & Charlotte Photographers – link) asked if I could help him out by shooting portraits and the wedding reception of a cool Indian couple at one of Toronto’s landmark wedding venues, I really couldn’t help but say “yes!”. Aneesh & Dave were wonderful to work with – very laid back and easy to direct, which made capturing great photos that much easier. Just a wonderful day for all!

The photos below are just a sample of whats to come. Please check out Dave & Charlottes website for the full wedding, which will be posted in a few weeks time.

Thank you so much for having me at your event!

Thursday, June 2, 2011 Posted in Engagement, Photography

Here are a few more teaser photos from Amanda & Kevin’s rainy day engagement shoot that we did the other week. I really love the mode and tone of these images… It’s funny, but I often get excited when they call for showers in the forecast now!

I hope that you enjoy the pics!

ISPWP Award Winning Images – Spring 2011 Contest

Thursday, May 26, 2011 Posted in Awards, News, Photography, Portraits, Wedding

I am once again extremely honored to have my photos selected as winning entries in the ISPWP’s (International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers) Spring Photo Contest!

The first photo placed 2nd in the “Kids will be Kids” category and was taken at Trish & Paul’s beautiful winter wedding. The all-too-cute flower girl was shying away from all of the attention she was getting, which made for a perfect photo as she hid behind her crinoline filled dress!

The second photo placed a respectable 10th in the highly competitive “Bridal Portrait” category. You will likely recognize the shot from Sarah & Naomi’s wedding slide show which was just posted the other week. The black on black wedding dress and kilts, combined with edgy posing and a great location, made for a striking image. On a side note, a similar photo of the bridal party was just published in Vogue Patterns Magazine… cool! [:

A big thanks goes out to my couples for providing me with these amazing moments to capture!

Trisha & Paul ~ A Winter Wedding on the Lake

Wednesday, May 11, 2011 Posted in Photography, Wedding

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.
