Rehanna & John

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 22:44:00 +0000

Rehanna & John's Wedding - was beautiful of course. Other than the easy going nature of the wonderful couple - what I liked most about this wedding was the photo shot locations we choose. We only had a short time so we drove 5 minuets up the road from the hall and just found great colour and light at nearby buildings. I don’t think anyone will ever guess what these places really looked like but by finding the right angles we created some killer images.

Anika & Wayne - Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:30:00 +0000

Anika and Wayne were a joy to photograph. They just seemed born to be in front of the camera. In fact I liked the first image so much that I used it in a recent wedding guide add. I think these images the perfect balance of great beauty and real moments. The way Anika looked at Wayne as he made his evening speech said so much about her feelings.

A Random Thought...

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 17:55:00 +0000

...what matters is not what is seen with the eyes but what is felt with the heart....

This is not my quote, I wish I knew where I had read it first so i could give the author proper credit, but I carry this thought with me everywhere.

This image from a recent wedding reminds me why I love wedding photography so much...

Carla & Stephen - Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:22:00 +0000

Carla and Stephen

Its been a while since I photographer Carla and Stephen's wedding but it was so much fun I really wanted to post some of my favorite images. Carla is a natural beauty and I loved Stephen's tattoo. The reception as at the Beautiful Carlu right downtown and so we had some fun hanging out taking relaxed images just off Yonge Street.

PS - And these guys sure could Dance!

Melissa & Mateo - Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 23:33:00 +0000

Happy Holiday! And I hope everyone had a great New Years Eve. For me the Holiday is all about family time - and it was great to take the kids tobogganing and visit with family. But back to weddings....

Melissa and Mateo's wedding. Melissa looked stunning and Mateo looked cool. Once again I had a lot of fun playing with colour and light.

Sneak Peek

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 21:14:00 +0000

Here is a sneak peak at Melissa and Mateo's wedding - more soon.

NEW WEBSITE

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 18:05:00 +0000

Ok - not really. I did however completely change the galleries. I have condensed the wedding day images in to two galleries, one is all pure photojournalism and the other is all 'made' images. What are made images you ask, well those are the images that my clients and I come up with together, sometimes its a lot of adjusting and sometimes its as a simple as "stand over there and hug". I made this change to the website so my future clients would better understand the difference between posed and 'candid'

photojournalism...

made photo

Lastly I added an engagement section. I love doing engagement photo sessions and so when I finally decided to create a gallery I thought something that really shows where my style is going creatively would be best. This is one of the last sessions I did for a client whose wedding is next year.

Linda & Lawrence - wedding

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 21:06:00 +0000

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.

Patricia & Michael - Eng Session

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 16:39:00 +0000

It seems like ages since my last post. What a crazy couple of months. Without a doubt this has been my busiest season ever. More on that and what it means for the future in another post. But first I really wanted to show off Patricia and Michaels engagement session. I have so much doing these photo shoots I absolutely love them. Patricia, Michael and I just walked around The CNE and had a blast taking photos and chatting about life. They are a great down to earth couple and i can't wait for their wedding.

Some of my favs...

Amanda and Giancarlo - wedding Part 2

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 01:32:00 +0000

Hi Again - I am back in the blogging world! Since its been so long since I posted last I thought I would make this one extra long!!!!

What can I say about Amanda and Giancarlo - they are one of those couples that are really connected just seeing them together I could feel how close their bond is! Enough of me - now for their images (yes there are lots!)

Amanda and Giancarlo - wedding

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 20:02:00 +0000

As some of you might have guessed I have been on vacation with my family for the last little while. As I settle back in to the daily summer routine I just wanted to make a quick post from Amanda and Giancarlo's wedding. More to come soon.

Shenade & Scott -eng

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:55:00 +0000

Shenade and Scott - Have an awesome wedding day planned for their wedding with the service and reception in Niagara On The Lake. I can't wait! Here are some of their cool images from their engagement session...

Dianne & Chris - eng

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 03:18:00 +0000

Ok - some quick posts before I hit the sack - I have an awesome, but early wedding tomorrow.

For something a little different Dianne arranged to take images at a nearby horse stable - how romantic!

This is simply a stunning image!

Jacqueline & Nathan- Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 10:31:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 02:44:00 +0000

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....

Anika & Wayne - eng

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:19:00 +0000

Hi again. Ok so wedding season is definitely in full swing now! I will try to keep up with my blog posts so we can all see how the summer goes.

Anika and Wayne's eng session was at Toronto's waterfront which was perfect for my style of photography.

I love Anika's eyes! Even through wind tussled hair she has this great 'look'

Expression...Expression. When its all said and done I believe this is truly the hall mark of what i do best - capture great REAL expressions from my clients.

I love finding abstract images from the ordinary places around us. These umbrellas remind me of some Dali like painting - they looked so surreal...

Nikki and Rico

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 07:18:00 +0000

We did something a little different for Nikki and Rico's eng session - and in a word it turned out HOT!

Stephanie & Chris - eng

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 13:26:00 +0000

I had the honour of photographing Stephanie's brother's wedding several years ago and was totally excited to be asked to shoot her wedding too. One of my favs from this session was when I asked them get right inside the Magnolia tree. I new with the delicate pink flowers there was an image in there somewhere - I just wasn't sure what. It seems that the unexpected sometimes produces my favorite results....

Jordana & Russell - eng session

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 16:46:00 +0000

Jordana and Russell's wedding day is around the corner and so I guess this is as good a time to post some of their eng images... Love the energy of this couple. Jordana has the most beautiful eye's ever and Russell had a permanent smile during the entire session! I think he is a happy guy!

Paul & Lindsey Wedding part 2

noreply@blogger.com (stephen sager) — Fri, 30 May 2008 18:15:00 +0000

I am back :)

In the interest of time I am going to cut back the number of images that I post but no fear I will still post something once a week as best I can.

Paul and Lindsey were a true joy to be around. Paul was totally open and really seemed to enjoy the day. Lindsey was blessed to have family from all over the world join in her special day and I am sure that made every thing even more wonderful
