Jackie + James | A Beaver Hollow Resort Wedding, New York

Jackie and James were two of the most positive, friendly, enthusiastic people I have ever met.  They were so amazing to work with because they were up for anything – even if it included trespassing into a local farmer’s field and sitting on damp, freshly cut (and somewhat muddy) hay.  They had a beautiful outdoor...

baby william | oakville baby photography

I met Baby Will’s parents while shooting their wedding in beautiful Cabo San Lucas, Mexico about 3 years ago.  It was an amazing wedding, and I had a great time getting to know the couple and their family.  So, when Will’s mom contacted me to ask if I would do a photo shoot of the...

Ulyana + Robert | A Lambton Golf and Country Club Wedding, Toronto

It was about the hottest day of the summer so far  (+40 degrees!) but Ulyana and Rob were on cloud nine, and acted as if it was a breezy day in May rather than the scorcher that it was.  They were so wrapped up in each other we don’t think they even noticed the heat. ...

A little piece of paradise | Grand Manan Island, N.B.

For the first time in 5 years I managed to sneak a summer camping trip!  I was super excited to visit Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick again.  The Island lies a mere 11 km from the closest landfall (Campobello Island and the easternmost point of Maine) in the Bay of Fundy.  The island is a...

Kristen + Mike | A Balzac’s Coffee Shop Wedding, Distillery District, Toronto

When I first met with Kristen and Mike, they explained that they weren’t really the “wedding” type, and their wedding was going to be very nontraditional.  I have heard that a lot in my years shooting weddings, and have found that the term “nontraditional” is very subjective.  To some, it means that they’ll forgo the...

Carla + Jim | A Toronto Old Mill Wedding

It’s always a privilege when asked to photograph a friend’s special day, especially when they too are part of the “industry”. Jim and I spent the better part of the past year working together, and I was so happy to hear of his engagement to Carla.  Little did I know that less then a year...

Karine + Sean | Toronto Engagement Photography

Shooting Karine and Sean was fantastic fun.  First of all, just look at these two – who wouldn’t want to photograph them?  And secondly, they were willing to try anything, even if it felt awkward and ridiculous (which we love:).  Sean even served up his best Elvis impression.  Not sure if he looked more like...

Klaudia + Ian | A Toronto Old Mill Wedding

Klaudia and Ian came to Toronto from San Francisco to be married and thankfully they brought the San Franscisco weather with them!  Their wedding was celebrated  at the Toronto Old Mill and it was a truly stunning day.  They were both very calm and relaxed on their big day, and so easy to be around. ...
