Quick blog entry update as I am heading out now to watch the Oscars! But here is an update with more photos of Chuck and Andrea! Plus a rare photo of the photographer himself! Had fun sharing deserts and coffee with the two of you. See you again soon in Vancouver!
INTRODUCTION:
Rebecca and Alvin got married on a chilly winter day in the middle of January. We didn’t get much snow but it was probably one of the colder days during this time of the year though. The day started bright and early at “The Root of Hair” hair salon in Vaughan where all the girls got their hair and makeup done. It was actually the first time that I’ve seen a salon serve the bridal party complimentary champagne to the bridal party and they sure appreciated it! After putting on the dress and some final touches on Rebecca’s makeup we headed off to the Merciful Redeemer Church in Mississauga. Finally we headed off to Le Jardin in Vaughan for more photos, the tea ceremony, and the rest of the reception. There the guests were pleasantly surprised by the dance moves of the bride and groom who offered one of the most elaborate and fun dances of recent memory. Congratulations guys! Special thanks to Ryan for assisting with the photography.

This set was finished a while back but I felt it’s time to post it now as updates on my blog slow down a bit as I try to finish up with all the editing from the 2009 season. Queenie and Anthony had a October wedding up in Markham just a short drive north of Toronto. After the bride and groom met up in the morning, with the groom bearing many gifts as part of the Vietnamese wedding traditions, we headed off to the popular uptown photography location of Unionville Main St for some fun formals. We were greeted to a nice Saturday afternoon in November and were lucky enough to meet up with an organ grinder musician with “authentic” dancing monkey! Eventually we headed up to a fantastic afternoon ceremony and reception dinner at the Shangri-La Banquet & Convention Centre. Congratulations Queenie and Anthony!

I met Peggy and Simon a while back as they were friends of another one of my brides. We shot this engagement session a while back when the weather in Toronto was still relatively warm. To start the session we had a few drinks at a Starbucks before heading over to Yorkville to check out some Vera Wang dresses. Along the way we passed by the Royal Ontario Museum and even went by the University of Toronto campus!

The 2009 season is finishing up but it definitely isn’t getting quieter for me and in fact getting quite busy for the 2010 and 2011 season already! With lots of editing from this summer and more winter engagement sessions coming up I have lots of work to do. Here is a sneak peek at Yasmin and Tu’s wedding several weeks back. The two of them are such a cute fun and quirky couple that I really enjoyed all the time that we spent together. Most of the wedding celebrations took place in Mississauga with the nighttime reception being held at the Roma’s Hospitality Centre. I wish the couple all the best in their bright future together! Thanks to Andy King for assisting in photography. Enjoy our photos!
