amy + harvey | distillery district engagement

  How are we so lucky to be blessed with the best clients?  We had so much fun with Amy + Harvey on their engagement shoot in the Distillery District, doing a little walking, a little talking, and taking a few photographs.  They were so easy to spend time with – relaxed and comfortable with...

atee + pendar | toronto board of trade

What a gorgeous summer day it turned out to be for Atee and Pendar’s super cute vintage-themed Persian wedding (interesting combination, we know).  Both Atee and Pendar have a background in graphic design, and so we knew that the wedding would be infused with many artistic elements (you can see some of Pendar’s creative talents...

jessica + mike | liberty grand | toronto

Jessica and Mike’s story began where I think more romances begin than we know – at the office.  They began as colleagues, then became friends, and finally, Mike cautiously asked Jessica out on a real date.  One thing led to another, and voila, there they were – engaged in the romantic city of Paris, France...

karen + adam | maternity

Nearly 2 years after I photographed their wedding, I received a phone call from Adam and Karen letting me know they were expecting! I couldn’t be happier for them, and I was excited to document this extraordinary moment in their lives together.  Having just had my own baby 10 weeks ago, I could totally relate...

diana + adam | engagement session on the farm

Oh Diana and Adam had me laughing.  First of all, when we met last year for the first time, I could sense a kindred spirit in Diana – she is ALL about the little things, and being a fellow photographer, she is planning their reception decor with the first thought going to how it will...

Baby Olivia is a muffin.  I photographed her parent’s wedding a number of years ago (it was when I was shooting film, so I don’t even have a link to it!), and I was so excited to hear about the arrival of little Olivia.  She is now 8 months old, and wow is she CUTE. ...

baby ainsley | toronto baby photography

One of the best parts of my job is watching the couples whose weddings I photograph move to the next stage of life with the birth of their first baby.  I was so excited to meet this little munchkin.  I got to know Ainsley’s parents (Kristen + Mike) when I photographed their wedding almost two...

baby giacomo is 2! | toronto baby photography

You may remember baby  Giacomo – I photographed him as he was just turning one last year, and what a difference a year makes!  I arrived knowing I would be chasing a little person around, trying desperately to capture a few decent photographs that weren’t blurry and out of focus from having to move too...

Shehreen + Patrick | A Graydon Hall Manor Wedding, Toronto

We have been so blessed this year to have photographed some gorgeous weddings, and have had the chance to work with incredible people.  We couldn’t have possibly asked for a better way to end an amazing season than photographing Shehreen and Patrick’s wedding day.  Their day was a perfect combination of all good things –...
