Priya + Raja celebrated their union with a week of festivities, and we were fortunate enough to document the final celebration – their wedding day. It was a long day, choc-full of events which all took place at the London Convention Centre. Everything about the day was amazing – the couple, the clothing, the details that went into both the ceremony and the reception, and the energy of the guests celebrating Priya + Raja’s day was phenomenal. Having photographed Raja’s sister and brother-in-law’s wedding last summer (Tarang + Mike – whose photos grace our website), we expected no less. It was much of the same crowd, and wow – the enthusiasm they have for dancing and having a good time is incredible! It would be impossible to be among them and not get caught up in the spirit of celebration. Now if only I could get the song ‘Margaritaville’ out of my head….:) Priya and Raj, thank you for asking me to document your day, I hope you enjoy the photos.

We decided to head to the colorful neighborhood of Queen East to shoot the engagement of Meghan and Kevin. There are so many cute nooks and crannies in the area that we were able to walk from one location to the next for a great variety of backdrops. Meghan and Kevin were relaxed and laid back so we know we will have a great wedding shoot with them in August. Keep watch for their wedding photos in the next couple of months.

The day after Virginia and Sonny’s wedding, we all decided to forgo relaxing on the beach in favour of an artistic photo shoot in some authentic Mexican locations. We started the session on the beach, and then ventured into the town of Tulum, a market area, and ended with our favourite, a breathtaking turquoise blue cenote. We got an amazing variety of photographs, and Virginia and Sonny rocked the shoot, despite the +40 temperature while wearing full wedding attire. Ending the shoot in the cool cenote was definitely the smart choice – although the dress was heavier than expected in the water, and all we can say is thank goodness for inner tubes and fast swimming locals. We had an absolutely phenomenal day and can’t wait to do it again. Any takers?

The other day Rowena (Rowena + Tak | Tulum, Mexico) surprised me with a thank you gift for shooting her wedding. Her sister Julie had made me a beautiful cake which is an exact replica of my camera and favorite lens! I am in awe of her talent. Thanks Julie, Rowena and Tak. It looks too good to eat, but I will make do!
