We knew Richelle and Noel’s wedding would be a meticulously planned day from the first meeting we had with them as prospective clients. Noel was very particular about what he wanted, a perfect day for Richelle, their families and friends to celebrate their union. With their fall engagement done last year everything started to take shape nicely and Sandra and I begun looking forward to this event. The day went without a hitch with Swiss clockwork precision despite the hot and humid, bright July weather which made the after ceremony formals outside the church and Humber Arboretum photo session a bit of a challenge especially for the boys who insisted on keeping their jackets on along with their smiles.
Down at the Embassy Grand venue the reception spotted impeccably set gorgeous decor, a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff to go along with a tasty cocktail menu and , among other liquid things, ice-cold non alcoholic mango cocktail, a welcome way to quench the thirst after our session outside.
Another thing worth noting: Sandra and I were impressed by the number of guests which knew well ALL the steps to ALL the music the band played from waltzes to country line dancing. Awesome stuff.
The following is a snippet of this day. Enjoy!

Back with Raluca and Andrei for their first Wedding Day. In Romania a couple wishing to tie the knot still has to go for an official wedding and the marriage license to the City Hall before they can have a traditional Church Ceremony. Rather than rush and cram everything in a single day, Raluca and Andrei decided to have relaxed, separate ceremonies in two different days. We’re always very happy to participate in events like this but in this particular case I had tiny little knots of emotion going through pretty much thru the whole event. We’re photographers documenting the proceedings however this couple is very dear to us, they are family. And there is another personal reason to have this mix of emotions, undoubtedly shared by my Mom and my Sister also present. My late Father, Andrei’s Grandfather would have loved to be part of it all. Raluca and Andrei and their future together were about the only thing he would talk about before losing his fight with cancer last year.
A word of note of how everyone participating in this event was welcomed by Raluca’s family and Godparents in Brasov. Extraordinary warm would be perhaps an understatement as the way everyone pulled together to make this day memorable was simply incredible.
This is but a small photographic snippet of that day. Enjoy!

Wes and Rizelle had their engagement on Toronto Island last summer and today we’re back with them for their wedding day. As emotional wedding ceremonies go, theirs must rank pretty high up there. Reviewing the pictures for this entry brought tears to our eyes (and tears of laughter as well… ). Our host for the day was Le Jardin Event Center, a perfect setting for this stylish and joyous event.
This is the story of the day. Enjoy !

You may remember Brenna and Jordan from our last summer farm engagement shoot . Now we’re back with them for their stylish Big Day. Holland Marsh Wineries played host and provided the perfect fall backdrop for their ceremony and party. Equally gorgeous were the season colors on Brenna’s Dad property he so generously allowed us to roam free about. The only small kink in this perfect day was perhaps the cold and rather moody weather which forced us inside a number of times however, you’d be hard pressed to guess all that from the pictures as literally everyone focused on celebrating Brenna and Jordan’s union and on enjoying the day.
This is by far the largest entry in our blog so far…
Enjoy!

“There’s nothing like a life threatening illness to help put your life in perspective and highlight your priorities”. Steve’s own words. We were chatting and taking pictures while he was waiting in St. Anne’s Church for his bride to be, Amanda to walk down the aisle. Dealing with cancer is tough, Steve’s got the scars to prove it, putting everything else on hold, including the best laid wedding plans. Well, almost 2 years later with good signs of a successful treatment, their Big Day was back on and no one was happier than their little daughter Peyton. As you can see, she cares about Daddy’s and wants him eating the nice, fresh , healthy veggies.
We felt privileged to be part of their day. Here is how it all happened.

More than a year after James’s surprise proposal In Niagara falls, we’re back with them for their wedding day. And what an awesome day it was ! Nice, clear, warm-ish weather allowed us the full use of the Belfountain Conservation Area and held until late at night when we went on Grand Victorian’s roof for a few cool night shots at the gazebo. Then, there was the party. Wild is perhaps a bit of an understatement…
Everyone pulled all the stops to make this day run like clockwork. Here’s a little taste of it.
Enjoy!

Back with Robin and Terry for their wedding day and what a nice day for a wedding it was! The weather was perfect for their outdoor ceremony at The Royal Ashburn Golf Club and with a little whiff of cloudy cover, perfect for photography as well. Terry had an unfortunate work accident that left him with a swollen, broken arm but everyone pulled together to make this day one to remember and when we say everyone it literally means the whole neighborhood on the little cul-de-sac Robin and Terry’s house is located in. That’s not too often we get to see such a close knit community that looks out for each-other. On top of that, Terry believes one should never let things like a swollen arm ruin a carefully planned wedding, even if that means your wedding ring won’t fit anymore, heck, people have pinky fingers just for this sort of emergency…
This is but a snippet of their day. Enjoy!

It’s not very often we’d rather pull over and wait on the highway’s shoulder on our way to a bride’s house, but coming down Hwy.427 that morning, on route to Nelia’s Toronto apartment, was proving to be a challenge. It was raining so hard the windshield wipers could not keep up and as a result I could barely see couple of feet past the hood of our car. It was simply pouring so Sandra and I were discussing Plan B – indoor locations to replace our planned Osgoode Hall bridal and formal photography shoot. By the time we headed out tho the ceremony, the weather completely cleared up in a way just as spectacular as it rained and we went ahead with all the original plans. The service at the Ukrainian Church of the Holy Protection was very moving, helped in no small part by the beautifully singing choir back upstairs. We had a bit of fun afterwards at Osgoode Hall (perhaps the worst kept secret location in Downtown Toronto) and on Queen Street before heading out to the reception held at Le Treport.
This is a small photo snippet of their day.
Enjoy!

It’s funny how many wedding customs come from the Victorian Era. Something Old – Something New – Something Borrowed – Something Blue…And a Silver Sixpence in Her Shoe is one. The white dress too as prior to the Victorian Era brides wore green, symbolizing fertility, or simply their best Sunday dress or even black. The custom of taking photos to document the event with the newly introduced George Eastman Kodak’s cameras also dates back to those times.
The amount of planning and detail that went into Heba and Phil’s Victorian wedding was staggering and almost impossible to document completely even in our blog entry which turned to be the biggest ever. From Toronto’s Metropolitan United Church, thru Black Creek Pioneer village and Hazelton Manor this is how the day went on.
Enjoy!

Back at Pheasant Run Golf Club with Roni-Lee and Brian for their wedding day. It might be a bit of a stereotype to say this day was filled with emotion but it is not often Sandra and I as wedding photographers are moved to tears by parent speeches. This time however, I was left speechless.
This is a snippet of their day.
Enjoy!
