Linda & Lawrence - wedding

Three bright red Mini Coopers instead of Limo's equal a very fun couple! That's right instead of renting a limo the wedding party cruised around in wickedly cool mini's! I wanted Linda and Lawrence's images to reflect their easy going nature while still showing an artistic edge.

Jacqueline & Nathan- Wedding

What a perfect day! This is exactly how I like to photograph weddings! Lots of time for Photojournalism and cool 'location images' after the ceremony. I am going to break my 20 image limit with this one...

At Jacqueline and Nathan’s wedding I saw the wedding for what it should be - a celebration of the beauty of life. I saw how beautiful Jacqueline looked as she got ready, how proud her father was as he walked her down the aisle and the connection between the new couple as their eyes first met. What a perfect day…

Thank you Nathan and Jacqueline …..

Lisa & Jeremy - wedding

Happy Canada Day!

What better way to celebrate than posting a great wedding!

Well actually I should be doing something else right now but I am trying to keep the posts on schedule. Jeremy is the brother of Amy Montgomery a great children's portrait photographer. I was particularly honored when she recommended me to Lisa and Jeremy. Lisa and Jeremy were the definition of easy going and fun. Love the color and emotion we captured at their wedding....

Eillie & Jason - wedding

Its Sunday and I realize I am getting behind in my posts - so here a few from my most recent wedding - Ellie and Jason. It was a beautiful February day and we couldn't really have asked for better. I love the colour images from this wedding. Ellie and Jason - where super easy to photograph, they where either having a great laugh or a great hug.

Leslie & Ryan - the Cuban Wedding

Its taken a while but I finally have a few minutres to post Leslie and Ryan's wedding from Cuda - hope you enjoy!

Ryan & Leslie - the destination wedding in Cuba

Ryan and Leslie's wedding was quite simply a blast! We spent a week together in a beautiful resort off the coast of Cuba. This was exactly how I liked to work - I was made to feel like one of the friends but with the fancy camera! I have made 2 slideshows, the first highlights everything but the wedding day itself, so... just hanging around, the club nights, the trip to Havana, and a 'engagement' session finish the slide show. I came back form this trip totally refreshed and ready for the next season! And last but not least - a few pictures of me!

IN THEIR WORDS..

"The impressions of your pictures speak for themselves...simply amazing! You captured so many great moments that tell our beautiful wedding story in Cuba. Not only are the quality and content of each picture so remarkable and artistic, but your down to earth personality and timely professionalism shined through when you spent time with our friends and family. Our nightly banter and Cuban Cigar smoking were good times!" - Ryan and Leslie

Tasleem and Yaseen - wedding

As promised here are the rest of Tasleem and Yaseen's wedding images. Their beautiful wedding was a multi day event and really a celebration of faith, tradition, family and friends. What can I saw about this wonderful event? Well I felt great joy and truly honored to be allowed to share in their love and life for this short time.

A new feature that I would like to add to my blogs are the thoughts and feelings of my actual wedding clients...

In Tasleem's words...

"The impact of your pictures is far greater than even I anticipated. Our wedding felt like a million intense moments packed closely together, so much so that it is hard to appreciate it all while it is happening. Moments like when my father kissed my forehead and the tears began to fill my eyes - tears of gratefulness and love, or when my mother and sister helped me get ready in the morning and I new they were doing for me the things their mothers had done for them, and moments when I looked over at my new husband and couldn't help but smile because I am blessed and humbled by the happiness in my life... These are the moments I re-live each time I look at these pictures. And now, without the rush and stress of a wedding, I can re-live each moment for even longer while curled up on the couch with our album. Stephen, you truly have a gift and your gift in turn becomes a gift for all those you work with. Thank you for being there, for saving each memory for us to enjoy at our leisure, and most of all for the stories that will spring from your pictures as we tell our children (one day) the story of their parents wedding day."

Add on to that two truly wonderful families full of life and love and you have the recipe for a wonderful wedding day!

Rosanna & Lino

Hi everyone -

Rosanna & Lino's wedding day was a crazy , beautiful and emotional day. Her wedding dress was incredible! And Lino was totally relaxed and 'cool'. Together with their great friends and family we had a blast all day from first coffee in the morning until well into the dancing at night.

Annie & John

I have been very bad! Yes - I have let the blog slide! Sorry and I am back. The fall turned out to be one of my busiest EVER! Lots of great weddings, a little fashion shoot with my friend Judy at Elementz of Foto , a destination wedding in Cuba and well just lots of work has made for a hectic couple of months.

Its been a blast though and I am excited to get back to blogging my cool work.

SO here it goes.. in no particular order I am just going to start uploading as many weddings as I can over the next while.

Annie and John had a fantastic fall wedding and while it rained a bit the bad weather didn't last and we had a great time....

Oh and I had a second shooter for this one so you get to see an image of me working that is NOT taken through a mirror.

More weddings to come soon!!

Rosa & Frank

Hi everyone. I wanted to get this great wedding up before i take a break for the holiday weekend. Rosa and Frank are a great easy going couple that made the day a breeze. I am often asked to find different locations than the normal park. So for Rosa's wedding we traveled to downtown Bolton (yes Bolton Ontario), then a farm with a cool barn and lastly a friends country home. It was a fun adventurous wedding day with lots of great people.


As most of you know my packages include High Resolution files that have been colour corrected ready for you to print. But what does this really mean? I thought for this post i would upload exact copies of the wedding proofs. Nothing has been done extra to these images for the slide show or the blog images. They show the incredible quality and colour you can expect form your wedding proofs and digital files...

Tara & Greg - wedding

I have been crazy busy again so sorry for the delay in getting this weeks wedding up loaded.


Tara and Greg are a fantastic couple with loads of style and class! Tara keeps busy working for the great designer Romona Keveza and being a wedding planner with the event planners at Visions of Platinum & Garnet. I am showing lots of images and have included a really big slide show (222 images) for two reasons. One I just love so many of these images and two so you can really get an idea of how I work. At every wedding I strive to mix great candid images with editorial style images.... I hope you like!

Eileen & Mark wedding

Eilleen and Mark, Another gorgeous summer day! Eileen and Mark and the whole wedding party was a blast to hang out with - they made me feel like one of the gang - thanks. Edwards Garden was the perfect backdrop for this outdoor wedding where we also took the Bride and Groom for some stunning images. It was then off to the reception for a crazy night of great food, lots of dancing and the occasional shooter..!

Vanessa & JP wedding

Vanessa and JP (John Paul) had a perfect summer wedding complete with the country church, country side wedding photos and then mixed it up with a very modern reception! I had the great fortune to photograph Vanessa's sisters wedding a few years ago and as i recall it was a beautiful day as well. Lots of very cute kids in the wedding party and close family and friends made it all a day to remember.

janice & sean - wedding

Janice & Sean's wedding day was truly beautiful and while the weather started out nice too - it of course turned into a crazy storm! Prospective clients often ask "what will we do if it rains?" and I always reassure them that we will still create beautiful images! With a great couple and creative use of some indoor locations we can create the type of images you expect. I think Janice and Sean's wedding images are stunning! Enjoy!

Jenny and Franks wedding was a crazy fun day. The guys where hilarious and the girls stunning! Jenny is Liz's good friend, who is Liz, well Liz and Joe (her husband) have sent me lots of great referals and are in fact the couple on my splash page and at the top of this blog. Jenny and Frank made me feel like one of the family and that is always such an honour for me. This was an emotional group, they where either laughing or in joyful tears - lots of love....

ana maria & andrew - wedding

Ok So I've been slow to add to this blog! But in my defense its been a pretty busy summer! I am going to try to add a few weddings before I take off for a short vacation.

Ana Maria and Andrew - a very fun couple and a very close group of friends and family. We had a fantastic day and a lot of the day's success has to do with the great planning that Cindy Johnson at Platinum Events provided!

Ana Maria is a Wedding Planner herself with Elan Weddings Consultants. I always feel particularly happy when a wedding planner gives me the opportunity to photograph such a special day. Thanks Ana Maria and Andrew - i had a blast.
