We took a beautiful drive up to Tweed Ontario for Emma & Greg’s shoot. Yet another beautifully sunny day – we have been so fortunate this year, loving it! Emma and Greg we’re lots of fun to hang out with and photograph. They showed us around all the hot spots in Tweed : ) Emma and Greg were extremely cute in front of the camera and a joy to photograph. Thanks inviting us up to your hometown guys, photographing your wedding is going to be a joy : )

Bon appetit,

We decided to visit the wine country with Ashley and Scott, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Despite getting lost on the way to the vineyard, we we’re all having such a great time we ended up squeezing every last bit of sunshine out of the day. Prince Edward county is one of our favourite get-aways. We highly recommend taking a day trip up to some of the vineyards – even if you don’t have a camera and a lovely looking couple to photograph : ) Thanks for all the laughs guys, and good luck Scott – who will soon be trying for Wide Receiver with the Hamilton Tiger Cats! Looking forward to your wedding day. Cataroqui Golf Club, Kingston Ontario, will be a beautiful backdrop for photographing your ceremony : )

Bon appetit,

Who would have thunk you could have so much fun in an industrial wasteland ? We had a riot shooting this one. Amy and Andrew were great sports, willing to risk radioactive poisoning for a good shot. Kidding of course; the area may have smelled bad. but it made for a terrific place to romp through for an engagement shoot. We all laughed, almost riotously, when we found the exercise bikes…what are they doing there? Needless to say, we had a great time, shared lots of laughs, and ended up with some great photos. Amy and Andrew, bless your adventurous spirits. You guys took to being photographed so naturally, looking so forward to shooting the wedding : )

This wedding was my first opportunity to second shoot for another photographer.  Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day or venue.  Ali and Pete were a terrific couple to photograph.  Extremely laid back and genuinely excited for their wedding day.  We started the day at the Hilton in downtown Toronto, and leisurely made our way over to the Distillery District in the afternoon.  Taylor and I shared a cocktail with the girls at the Mill Street Brewery, Ali bought me my first champagne cocktail.  Ali, full of jitters, took her father’s arm and made her way over to the ceremony.  After a brief, but moving ceremony Pete scooped his bride up and laid one heck of a kiss on her!

After the ceremony we made our way out into the beautiful sunshine for portraits of Pete, Ali and their families.  Ali and Pete made such a striking couple that I’m sure you can spot on-lookers sneaking photographs in the background of some of my shots.

The reception was  held in the Distillery District at Archeo; terrific food, DJ P. Chan on the tables and some heart felt words.  Thanks for thinking of me Taylor, and congratulation Pete and Ali,

When opposites attract: Alix is a city girl who manages Fancy That (a fashionable shop in downtown Kingston); Aaron is a country boy who works as a carpenter; Alix loves fashion and coaching swimming; Aaron doesn’t miss an opportunity to hunt and fish; Alix is just a petite little thing; Aaron could stare down a Grizzly Bear; however, their differences are merely superficial. Underneath Alix and Aaron are two of the tenderest, kindest, and well suit couples I have ever had the pleasure to meet. They have far more in common then they’ll ever have difference to separate them.

Alix has an urban wedding planned. So yesterday we thought we’d take Aaron and Alix for a drive out to my families cottage to capture them on Aaron’s turf – I am still covered in mosquito bites!  We had a great afternoon and couldn’t be more pleased with the results of our northern exposure. Oh! and we even spotted  a deer up close and personal (50ft) on our way home…gorgeous. Looking forward to photographing your wedding,
