Wendy + Yorick • e-session

You could feel that spring was in the air when I met up with Wendy and Yorick at Sunnyside Park in Toronto. Although it was still chilly even with the sun beaming away, people were out and about rollerblading, playing catch with their dogs and bringing their kids to the park to play in the playground. We even spotted a guy out ‘suntanning’ in his speedo (uhhh…yah). With Wendy and Yorick bundled up and ready to go, I thought I would loosen them up a little by making them go on some of the swings in the park. It probably wasn’t the greatest feeling on their faces since the cool breeze from the lake was blowing right in their direction. Sorry guys!

Not only did we take pictures at the Park, we had a change of wardrobe and took pictures at the Humber Bay Arch and the Brookfield Place (formerly known as BCE Building) downtown. The inside of that building is so beautiful with it’s clear arched roof and glass-lit floors.

Now this is going to be a little off topic, but during our time together that afternoon I found out that they were interested in getting a shar-pei. So they asked Adam and I (yes Adam was with me as my amazing bag boy), if we had any kind of advice on breeders and of the breed itself. So we recommended our breeder and maaaaybe just maaaaybe they might get a relative of Magnus later on this year!

Thanks for the great afternoon you two and I’ll be seeing you both in April for your wedding. Weee!

Ariana + Neil • e-session

Have you ever met someone for the first time and feel as though you’ve known them for years? I got that feeling with this special couple. I met up with Ariana and Neil at Union Station in Toronto, where they met for the first time a few years ago…at the Dairy Queen to be exact. It’s great when couples suggest places to have their engagement sessions because the location is usually something close to their heart…sighhh love. After our shoot at Union Station, there was a wardrobe change and a little GO train ride to Pickering. We headed to the Rouge Park for some warm fall pictures. I love the burnt colours of fall and the smell of the crisp air…sniffff ahhhhhhh…

Ariana and Neil, thanks for such an amazing day full of laughs and stories. You two are awesome and I can’t wait to shoot your wedding next year!

Rachel + Peter – Richmond Hill, Ontario

For this wedding I second shot alongside Toronto photographer, Calla Evans.

Rachel and Peter had a fantastic venue to hold their ceremony and reception, the Oakville Terrace in Richmond Hill. It is a secluded, lush and spacious venue with amazing views, perfect for such an important day. Everytime I looked at Peter, he always had a big, bright smile on his face. Perhaps it was because Rachel looked absolute stunning (not to say you didn’t look handsome yourself Peter *wink* ).

Rachel is a talented Graphic Designer which meant no detail was overlooked; from the invite to the table numbers, to the packaging for the guest favors. From one Graphic Designer to another, Rachel you did an amazing, amazing job!

Thank you Rachel and Peter for letting me be a part of your beautiful day, I wish you both all the best!
