Earlier in July I had the chance to take part in the wedding of a good friend of a friend! The wedding was a pretty small and intimate affair and it was even raining on that Saturday but luckily everything went super smoothly and the photos in the greenhouse turned out beautifully even with the rainy weather. I had an amazing time working working with Erin and Jason and it was really interesting to see them later in the summer as a guest at Jason’s brothers wedding! Special thanks to Aron Goss of Calculated Style for helping out with the photography.

A couple months back we went to Lindsay Ontario to document the wedding of Maggie and Kiyo. We had a great time being part of the wedding and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of family effort that went into this wedding. This was especially apparent while watching the groom and his family preparing the food for the night time reception! Other fun highlights of the day included group photos underneath a bridge, a horse and carriage, an amazing mother daughter and son dance!

Finally an update! I’ve been super busy these last few weeks as I have been traveling to many exciting destinations for weddings and I am a bit behind on updating my blog, emails, and editing. Hopefully now that I am back in Toronto I can get through everything at a faster pace. A while back I was invited to photograph Andrea and Chuck’s wedding in Vancouver. It was my first “destination” wedding abroad, but stay tuned for another one in Jamaica and Cuba, and I had a fun time getting all my equipment through airport security. The wedding was probably one of the most packed and longest shoots I’ve ever done, but everything went well except for a minor eyelash mishap that a quick trip to MAC cosmetics fixed. Enjoy the photos! During this wedding I was very lucky to be reacquainted with my good friend and colleague Aaron Tam who assisted me on this wedding. His stuff is very different but always amazing.

Jing Jing and Graham finally tied the knot at a wonderful ceremony and reception at the National Club several weekends back. The day went super smoothly as the bride and some of the guests were able to stay overnight in the National Club like a mini-hotel, and both the ceremony, reception, and photos were held and taken in around the same place. It also helped that the groom got ready at his condo 2 minutes away! Weddings are usually pretty crazy and fast paced and one way to make sure things run as smooth as possible is if everything is close by through eliminating the uncertainty of too much traveling to get from venue to venue. Thanks for having me at your wedding and all the best while the two of you spend a year or two overseas in the UK! Also thanks to Ryan for coming out and assisting.

Earlier this year I got the special privilege to photograph Peggy and Simon’s wedding at the Atlantis reception hall inside of Toronto’s Ontario Place. Personally I think it was a really neat venue to visit as it allowed us to do some photography inside the Ontario Place park grounds. We had some really unpredictable weather that day and it ended up snowing just a bit when several days earlier we had some unusually hot weather.

The day started off pretty early at around 9AM. Luckily not much was going on in the morning and we all got some time off to watch one of the bride’s favourite movies “Bride Wars” while the groom was running all around Toronto doing last minute wedding preparation. The day quickly picked up though and it was a whirlwind of activity from the formals, ceremony, and reception later on in the day. At the end of the night we were treated to one of the best views of the Toronto skyline I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying before heading home from a long day’s work. Special thanks to Andy King for assisting with the photography.
