My sister got married!!!  My older sister Catherine has made it official, marrying her main squeeze, Jason, in a beautiful west coast wedding in Black Tusk Village, Whistler.  The setting was gorgeous…a quiet community of homes and cabins nestled amongst the forest on the outskirts of town.  As Cat’s maid of honor, I was on...

Ashley + John | Dominican Republic | Toronto Destination Wedding Photography

What an amazing week we had at the Riu Palace in the Dominican Republic!  The first few days were spent scouting, and wondering if the rain was ever going to let up long enough to get in some photographs on the beach.  As is usually the case with the weddings we shoot (knock on wood),...
