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!

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!

With the cold Toronto weather approaching, the photography part of the wedding season is winding down but meanwhile I am catching up on all the editing and post-processing of the thousands of photos. Here is a wedding from a while back in October of the super awesome couple of Alison and Nic. The two of them tied the knot at the gorgeous Field House section of the Berekely Church in Toronto. The venue itself is a beautiful location that offers small intimate group seating that is just overflowing in a fun quirky and unique rustic atmosphere. Thanks for letting my assistant John and I be part of your wedding!

Debbie and Jason got married a while back on the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival and celebrated their wedding day with family and friends at The Garden Banquet and Convention Center in Brampton. While not busy looking great in front of the camera the two spend most of their time sharing the responsibilities of running the Yoga Tree yoga studios in Richmond Hill and Thornhill. The wedding was a long one that took us from Markham, to Scarborough, to Newmarket, and finally all the way to Brampton. Me and my assistant John had an amazing time working with the two of them and wish them all the best next week as they head out to their honeymoon in Morocco, Spain Africa. Enjoy the wedding sneak peek!
