This year has been a great year, and it's still just beginning! I've met so many new friends that I've had a blast working with. There's also many couples who I'm still looking forward to working with this year, and plenty of blog posts to come! Although I do still have some availability for 2011, it's booking incredibly fast. As usual, I will continue to work on a first-come, first-serve basis until I reach my desired booking limit. I encourage any couples interested in my photography for their wedding to contact me using the contact section of this blog, and have a quick peek at my current rates.

Some shoots take a while to “get into the groove”… Not this one. We met up on Front Street, said our hellos, and immediately Codi and Mac demonstrated that they’re very comfortable with each other. The chemistry between them made for instant results. No warm up time needed; this couple was already hot;) In fact, everything seemed to work with us on this shoot (well, maybe not Union Station Security).
Okay…a little adventure is one thing, but nothing prepared me for the day that Estelle & Justin’s engagement session became. What started off as a sweltering hot summer day, ended as total downpour! We shot on Toronto Island, as this is the couple’s proposal site. In the end, we never did make it to the actual spot where Justin proposed. We did have a blast riding a bicycle for 3 (actually designed for 2!), splashing around in the lake, running with umbrellas, playing in the sand…I got hit by lightning… okay maybe not
I slept like a big baby after this shoot. We were all soaked through & through by the time we boarded the ferry to head back. In the end, I would have loved to keep shooting with Estelle & Justin, but I made the executive decision to pack up the camera as it was getting a bit too much water and sand on it:(
Estelle & Justin, I can’t imagine having more fun while working! Thank you guys for being such awesome sports, and totally being down for whatever. Justin, I’m your guy if there’s ever an off-road tandem bicycle competition!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these photos and if these are any indication of what the wedding ones will be like, then I am even MORE excited for how lovely those will turn out. And I’ll be in them! BONUS! Beautiful! Stunning in fact!
Natasha and Omar had me covering events that spanned four days, from July 29th, to August 1st. I’ve kept the images in chronological order, starting with the Omar’s Pithi ceremony on the 29th, then Natasha’s Mendhi on the 30th. They had their Muslim marriage ceremony on July 30th, and then the full wedding & reception day on August 1st! By the end of the four days I felt like part of the family!

Jay! The pictures look amazing! Can’t wait to see them all together 
beautiful photos you guys did great job!!
You two look so beautiful!! Congratz~
Hey Jay. Just back from our honeymoon and seeing these pics for the first time. They look great! Thanks for everything and hope to see the lot soon.
Just a few quick images from our brief shoot last week. We didn’t really have the chance to get too many family or creative shots during the actual engagement party, so we played “catch-up” afterwards;) These shots were taken at the old abandoned Kodak factory.

When we decided on Sunday for Chas & Chris’ E shoot, we had no idea how hot it would be. I mean damn hot. This entire week has been one big heat wave. Thankfully we got through the shoot, and were able to capture some great shots. These guys were one of the coolest couples I’ve shot, even in the heat! Anyway, pictures are worth more than words;)
One of my favorite shots of my entire career is the last one! I always get a bit of a laugh when I see cops on bicycles. No disrespect to our amazing police force, it’s just…the shorts! Some shots you can’t plan.
Chas & Chris, I hope the shots were worth the heat!

Chas & Chris, these are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! These pics made me cry . Love you guys! Can’t wait to see my little big sis get married!
Chas & Chris….these pics made me cry! You guys are such a beautiful couple. I’m so happy to be a part of your love. Love you guys!
It’s so good to see this, especially from where I’m at. Two sexy people, looking like movie stars. Congratulations. See you soon.
Hey Chris it good to see how you have matured into a fine young man. The pictures are amazing and of very high quality.
Chas I have not met you but you are a beautiful lady and I am sure you will make my brother very happy. All the best and I hope to see you at the wedding..:-)
“Great photos! guys, these pictures really, and truly capture “the love” between you two. However I prefer the black & white pictures much more, than the colored ones.
I just have two words for you, GOR-GEOUS . I absolutely love the single shots where you each have this vulnerable disposition and such longing in your eyes. Chris is sitting down with fist in hand and Chas is crouching, hands wrapped around herself. Bravo to the artiste who captured those tender moments. Oh, and you too Chris and Chaz for being so damn georgeous. Lots of love…
Wow!! Your pictures turned out amazing and Chas you look so hot!!! Congratulations to you both
Shereen and Harneet’s engagement party was a beautiful, intimate event with only the closest of their family and friends. I wanted to capture the event as timelessly, and candidly as possible. I chose to stand back and quietly snap candids from a distance as much as possible in order to capture the realness of it. After spending some time with the images, I knew I wanted to present them a bit differently than I do for a wedding or couple’s shoot. The idea came to me to present them as a slideshow of 100 vintage style snapshots of the event…and then I ended up with 150!

A very hearty congratulations to Shereen and Harneet…! The pictures are really amazing…!Shereen,you look gorgeous:)
Although I perform most of my engagement shoots downtown, I decided to steer-clear of the core until the G20 summit comes and goes. The elevated security downtown is making it more of a hassle than it’s worth. Satoru and I both grew up in Uxbridge, so when it came time to find a location for their engagement session, Uxbridge was a natural choice. The town has changed quite a bit over the years. It was neat to shoot in all the old areas that we used to roam.
Cathy and Satoru both have the funkiest sense of humor! We had a blast doing this shoot. Not only that, but it’s not very often that the bride to be can correct me on the topic of UFC events…Cathy, I’m impressed;)
