We met Roni-Lee and Brian at the Pheasant Run Golf Club , which is also their wedding venue. As the club members were out golfing braving the chilly but sunny weather, the club graceously provided us with a guide to ensure our safety and golf carts ( of course! ). Umm…I’m ashamed to admit it but I have NEVER driven a golf cart before so shooting this engagement was quite the experience for both Sandra and I. Now, driving one of those is easy after you manage to start it, which I didn’t manage at first :-). Fortunately Roni-Lee and Brian are a relaxed, easy going couple and they put up graciously with my fumbling (and Sandra with my wretched driving…).
Looking forward to their wedding !

We did have gorgeous weather this long weekend, the kind of weather Jen and Kevin had prayed for. You see, this engagement photo session had been scheduled a while ago and they flown in from Winnipeg, Manitoba specifically for it. Even though we had a Plan B, the chances for a redo in case of cold and heavy rain were nil. Kevin loves trains (models and all) so the Roundhouse Park at the Toronto Railway Heritage Center was an absolute must. As Jen put it ” Just don’t throw him on the tracks, we might need him later for the wedding and all…” The staff at TRHA was incredibly gracious, offering us actual access to the massive No. 6213 Canadian National steam locomotive. Even “massive” is perhaps a bit of an understatement…simply awesome!
This is a bit of a preview. Enjoy!
P.S. Don’t leave without a comment…

Imelda and Brian know how to throw a party. When we were told the wedding ceremony and reception will be held at their family estate, we really did not know what to expect. Well everything was impeccable starting with the lovingly manicured estate grounds and beautiful ceremony setting to the fun tent barbeque and party that followed. Oh, let’s not forget the car service :). It is not frequent we get to have a bit of fun with an old shiny Chevy pick-up truck!
This is the story of their day.

This wedding was a bit special for us. We were back in the same house Martha has started her Big Day to document her sister’s wedding. We cannot be more grateful about how the Cowie family has treated us. Katie and Jake wanted to put their special mark on this day and they definitely got everything (save the humidity :)) right. From their heartfelt ceremony at Thornhill’s Presbyterian Church to their reception at the Grand Pavilion in the Black Creek Pioneer Village everything flew seamlessly together. Jake proved himself equally at ease driving off in a stick shift Bimmer and on stage singing with the UW Waterboys.
This is the story of their day.

Kitty and Richard contacted us not too long ago. Their wedding plans were ruined by the big Japan earthquake last March so everything had to be re-done, re-scheduled and re-booked in a hurry. Mission accomplished with accolades, as this was a day perfectly planned and executed. Ceremony and reception at the Bayview Golf and Country Club, location pictures at Richmond Green Park.

Brian and Imelda, a couple very much in love, first met each-other in Union Station, Downtown Toronto. This place had special meaning for them so we had to start our engagement session there. We worked our way up Yonge Street, thru Brookfield Place, ending up in Dundas Square.
People always give you odd looks when you place a flash in the middle of a fountain 🙂 … Here’s the result :

This was going to be pretty special… We knew it when James emailed us saying he’s secretly planing to propose to Joanne and he needed someone to talk to about planning it and capture it all as it happened. What a deviously delicious idea we thought, covert operations, secret planing… cue the 007 music. Fortunately sneaking around the Niagara Falls’ Secret Garden’s was eased up by Sandra and myself posing as tourist lovebirds with cameras from across the falls :-).
Everything went according to the master plan and Joanne was so overcome with emotion, she did not notice us at all. I mean, she had her suspicions something was up but…
Here is how it happened, starting with the scene of the crime first…

This is the second day of K an M’s wedding, the Buddhist ceremony. And the PARTY ! What one photographer can respond when a whole bridal party is saying “we’re doing the jump shot!” but “let me see how high you can do it … show me what you got…” 😉 It quickly became pretty evident just how high they were prepared to jump, despite the midday scorching sun.
This is the largest entry in our blog so far, almost as long as an actual album layout would run. Please be patient as it loads… Enjoy !

Back with K and M for their first wedding day. As ceremonies go, few approach the level of exacting detail this Hindu ceremony did. Sandra and I felt privileged to witness and document this warm, emotion filled event. Sandra even admitted shedding a few tears now and then…
Here’s a small selection of moments from the day.

Kitty and Richard are the definition of a shy couple who turns out to be in fact easy going, relaxed and not quite so camera shy in the end. We wondered in Downtown Toronto, around Union St. the CN Tower, the newly renovated Round House and finally the Harbourfront. This is just a bit of a taste of how our evening engagement photography session turned out. Enjoy!
