Melissa and Mark are getting married this October at the quaint King Edward hotel. They love downtown Toronto, so do I. I am always super excited whenever I get to shoot around my favorite part of town. I am a downtown girl and I simply love it! We had so much fun with our engagement session. Melissa recommended the area around Ryerson as she has studied there and loved the look of some of the old stones. Such a nice flavor to add to our images! This, combined with some of the spring colours, made for a wonderful decor for Melissa and Mark’s sweet and romantic side to come out.
Looking forward to the wedding day! M
It is interesting how ‘explorable’ some places are. No matter how many times they get to be visited, there are still little surprises hiding around corners…this is the case with the Toronto Harbourfront. Mostly very busy, on the day of the shoot the usual crowds were somehow missing, maybe due to the rain threat. Lucky us, as the light was absolutely incredible. My very sweet ‘models’, Giselle and Anthony, were so good! Not only I diverted them from our original plan, but I got them to step on moving platforms, jump into docked boats, walk up and down little hills. I know they were tired at the end, but content with the adventure I am sure, as the colours were truly fantastic. Some of the photos even look like they could have been taken on the East Coast… Well, I guess sometimes mind travel is better than no travel at all 
I look forward to your wedding this summer, dear Giselle and Anthony! Enjoy the warm weather until then and prepare yourselves for some fun! Yours truly.
High Park is not quite off the beaten path and is always a busy spot. Yet, when spring hits, I can’t think of a better location which is rich and colourful and constantly inspiring. Sadly, we missed the Japanese cherry blossoms which are always a delight to experience and would have worked so well with beautiful Kiyomi’s half Japanese descent. But we were still fortunate enough to find a lot of flowers around which made for a soft, dreamy like backdrop. Kiyomi and Jaish will get married this summer at Atlantis by the lake. Their wedding images will be quite different, so altogether the 2 collections will provide the couple with some amazing visual memories of such an exciting and important year of their lives.
Looking forward to your day! Hug, M
Laura and Greg will get married this summer. One warmer day at the beginning of April, we went down to the Harbourfront for their engagement photo shoot. As much as I love the sun, it was casting some harsh shadows on their faces that day and I felt bad to see how hard they were trying not to squint. Regardless, we ended up with a happy collection of photographs depicting who they are and how they feel for each other. I loved shooting there as the place truly felt like our own playground, generously offering inspiring elements as backdrops.
Thank you Laura and Greg for being such sports, I look forward to spending more fun time in August!
Jen and Ben are two lovely people with an interesting life story. After a few years spent in Liverpool, they are now looking to settling down in Canada. Their wedding will be held in August at the quaint Hernder Estates Winery, Niagara. We got to spend a couple of hours on a borderline rainy day and we had a lot of fun in spite of the random drops falling from the grey sky. From my perspective it was heaven because as we all know, such days offer the most incredible even light. Taking wrong exits and sometimes going in circles, we accidentally discovered magic spots that made for interesting backdrops. It so happens whenever we allow it. Relaxed, fun, spontaneous and truly loving, this is who they are and I hope I captured their character the closest possible.
Dear Jen and Ben, thank you for a great time and I very much look forward to more this summer!
Winter can be tricky for photo shoots, especially when one wants to spend time outside and play. Not the case for the Sunday Ella and Jerry picked for their engagement photo session: mild temperature, perfect light, not to mention such cool models! What else could I ask for? We spent about 2 hours walking around the Casa Loma area which is super rich in terms of nice corners and interesting backgrounds. It was fun, in a nutshell!
Ella & Jerry, I very much look forward to your wedding this spring, I promise we will spend a day filled with playfulness and creativity!
Blanca & Ryan will get married in May of next year. Again we chose fall with its colourful palette and the beautiful, gentle light. They are such a fun couple to be around and photograph: they make each other laugh non stop, they are playful, nonchalant, my camera just loved them! The day was simply magic, all elements in place, I could not have asked for a better decor and a greater variety of shooting spots. All in all, the vibrant collection of images we got will make for an amazing guest signing book at their wedding, which I very much look forward to shoot. It will take place in Jordan Niagara at the Inn on the Twenty, one of my favorite locations. I can’t wait!
There is no season like fall, with its unmatched display of colours and warm tones. What a great choice of a time for Annie and Daryl’s engagement photos which will create an amazing contrast against their beach wedding images.
Luckily, we are all traveling to Mexico, Playa del Carmen for their wedding in just a few days. I am very excited about this trip which will give me a great opportunity to spend more time with Annie, Daryl, their families and friends, while capturing some amazing moments before, during and after their big day.
Very much looking forward to unleashing my creativity on the ocean’s shore, stay tuned!
Aaron was a groomsmen in Heather and Christian’s wedding I photographed last summer up in Barrie. I was thrilled when he contacted me for his wedding this year.
He and Jacquie are getting married at the Old Mill in Ancaster this October. We decided to do a summer engagement photo shoot and they chose Oakville. The day was amazing, even though a bit too bright to keep the eyes fully open, we fully enjoyed the time spent together and the result was an extremely colourful and joy filled collection of images.
Jacquie and Aaron, I look forward to more fun on your day!
Purvi and Pritesh both studied at the McMaster University in Hamilton.
Even though it was after graduating that they met, they chose to go back and take some of their engagement photos on the premises due to many wonderful memories from student years.
We had a lovely time, it was a nice mini day trip for all and we enjoyed walking around a quiet campus while finding corners of significance.
We continued on with our photographic adventure on the lake shore while enjoying a lovely sunset.
Purvi and Pritesh’s Indian celebrations are starting soon with dances, Henna tattoos, lots of colours and textures, great food and most of all, love filled celebrations with families and friends.
I can’t wait!!
