kyla & lucas: guelph wedding

kyla and lucas' wedding was a celebration of their love and they very much wanted to share it with their family and friends. the two eloped in brazil 3 years ago, and they finally got together with everyone they love to have a traditional wedding day. i second shot this beautiful day for Elizabeth in Love and once again, we couldn't have asked for anything more. the light we had for the portrait session of the day was gorgeous, and it makes our jobs so much easier when you've got a couple as in love as they two were.

enjoy!

steph & jaime: mcmaster engagement session, hamilton

steph and jaime are old friends of mine and i was so stoked when steph approached me about shooting their engagement photos. little did i know, these two would rock it out the entire shoot! they were so natural in front of the camera- i just had to give them some small directions, and they would immediately turn towards each other and get lost in the moment. jaime recounted their engagement story for me on our way to hamilton, and it seriously gave me goosebumps more than once! cherry picking is something that is very near and dear to jaime's heart, as he and his family would go out when he was a child and look for rare white cherries. earlier this summer, jaime arranged for he and steph to have a picnic in a private cherry orchard, where he would propose. after searching everywhere for white cherries to pack for their picnic, jaime gave up. you can imagine his surprise when steph pulled out a package of them that she had stumbled upon earlier that day in the grocery store. its just one of those coincidences that makes you believe that it was just meant to be!

enjoy, and happy thanksgiving!

vaughn wedding: kortright centre

i spent another lovely saturday in september with Elizabeth in Love (follow the link to check out her version of this story!) and yet again, we couldn't have asked for a better day! the weather was great, and we had such a caring and genuine couple (and bridal party!) to work with. marion and dave are both gorge, and so is the kortright centre where the forest ceremony as well as the picture perfect 'outdoor' reception were held. its such a beautiful spot for any couple who loves the outdoors, and marion and dave are all about it (their tables were named after canadian campsites!) i'm always happy to spend the day shooting for an enthusiastic (and waaay talented) photog, and a couple that is in love as these two are.

enjoy!

caledon family portrait: late summer!

here is a quick little post of some family photos from last weekend. working with babies can be quite the feat but i think we did well! you probably won't recognize wesley anymore (i barely did!) from his newborn shoot a few months ago.
i've been shooting like a madwoman lately, and now i'm just floating along in a sea of editing so i thought i would share a few here and there as i go along.
enjoy!

toronto wedding photographer: backyard wedding

this little backyard gem was a pleasure to be a part of- it was my first time working with Elizabeth in Love and man, does this girl have talent! looking forward to spending my next few saturdays with her!

i love the idea of a backyard wedding- everyone is relaxed, the guests and wedding party feel at home, and there are always tons of tasty apps and drinks floating around! the casual atmosphere was so nice to walk into on this overcast afternoon, while lindsay took her time getting ready with her awesome bridesmaids. i spent some time with the boys while the ladies were getting ready, and i don't think jordan could have asked for a better group of guys to hang out with all day!

thanks to beth for asking me to shoot with you! and what a gorgeous couple!

enjoy!
