Ask any wedding photographer in September what they did this summer, and you probably won’t hear: I went on vacay! Just relaxed by the pool. Spent time with family and friends. Worked on the house. We don’t hibernate when summer is over because of the weather, but because of all the editing we have to do from the summer wedding season. So far, I have been so honoured to witness the joining of lives of some of my beautiful friends, including Andy and Carmela Di Martino (Check out Andy at Amici Spa in Markham, he is amazing with hair!) and blushing bride Ashley and Derek. Every detail adds a special touch and I love showing up and seeing what decor the couple has come up with… from sparkly backdrops, to cupcakes, to martini bars, and smoke machines! It is quite the show! And trust me, I am taking notes of all the things I liked or thought were super unique. So brides, perhaps I should thank you for making my decisions easy for when my time comes! The photos featured in this blog post of these two weddings always make me smile; I loved being a part of these life […]

I am so blessed to have the most wonderful clients in the world. I met Lara at her make up trial about two years ago and we got to talking about her wedding… only a few months away. She had decided early on that perhaps photography would be enough, and didn’t know if she wanted video coverage for her wedding. Being a photographer and cinematographer, I can see the value of both art mediums, and didn’t blame her… Weddings are expensive! Once things start adding up, one thing then another, it can be very overwhelming. But after a short chat, I could see she wanted it. So I made it happen. Customizing a package especially for her situation, we closed the deal soon after. Over the last two years, I have been lucky to now call Lara and Adrian my friends, and have done many small projects together. And had the pleasure of filming her sister’s wedding (to be posted soon!) a year later… I am so grateful that I got to be a part of their special day and had so much fun making memories with these two! Thank you L and A for being so kind, and the […]

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of being photographer on a 1920’s inspired bridal styled shoot. It was such a blast incorporating vintage elements with modern trends in such a gorgeous location! We shot at the Alderlea Heritage Event Center in Brampton, Ontario. It’s old charm totally added the right kind of atmosphere for our shoot, with its old chairs, patterned walls, and elegance. Our models had an amazing time getting into the right frame and mind to portray the laughs and glamour of the 1920s. For some scenes, I kept the lighting very basic and dim, to give it that grainy old photo look, where in others, the photos are crisp, clean and modern and lit with strobes indoors. Hope you enjoy it and brides: Pick up your copy today at your local Chapters and Indigo locations!

With technology advancing even for the non professional photographer, it seems like a good idea to skip on the expense of hiring a wedding photographer… NOT. Listen, my dear readers, this is not the case and I don’t just say this in order to dip my fingers into your wallets. Two years ago I began my journey, it was the first time I held a DSLR Canon T2i in my hands while strolling along the beach in L.A, California. I didn’t know what to do with myself. So many settings, so many variations to achieve, so many ways to frame the photo and tell a story. Looking back at the first few photos I took with this camera, verses my regular point and shoot, or cell phone camera, I could already tell that the quality and possibilities one could achieve, was beyond what I thought before! Fast forward 2 years, and countless bad photos, frustrating lighting experiments, and free labour, my work has come leaps and bounds, and will continue to improve as opportunities to practice and grow arise. Yes the modern Smart Phone takes spectacular photos of your All Inclusive Vacation to Cuba, and yes that selfie turned out […]
