Kit and Amanda wanted to celebrate Amanda’s Latvian heritage and decided on the Latvian Cultural Centre for their wedding ceremony and reception. Choosing March for their date as a way to get family together before the summer. Kit and the guys decided the Mill St Brewpub in the distillery district was the perfect spot for them to relax before meeting up with the rest of the wedding party for pictures before the ceremony. When Amanda and her bridal party arrived […]
You don’t have to have your wedding in a ‘wedding venue’ …more and more I’m photographing weddings in unique locations like cottages, farms, family property in the woods and places like restaurant patios, pubs and now AirBnB’s Kaitlyn and Patrick found a great AirBnB with enough space and isolation to host their intimate wedding of about 50 ppl. The AirBnB has been used for Yoga Retreats, Corporate Workshops and Cooking show production for TV. Needless to say the surroundings were […]
Pearl Jam brings people together. I’ve never met a more friendly group of concertgoers than any contingent of Pearl Jam fans I’ve run into at numerous shows over the last 20-25 years. Laura and James are an example of this …their inquiry stated they were very eager to meet up for a pint and to talk about PJ as they were both big fans also. Unfortunately I was away in Punta Cana shooting my last wedding of 2017 when they […]
An RCMP officer escorts you down the aisle …and it’s not leading to a squad car because you’ve had too much to drink and are causing a disturbance at the wedding …it’s your dad and your mom can’t stop weeping as she watching you walk up towards your husband who’s holding back his emotions because he knows you’ll blow your ‘cool cover’ if he whimpers even slightly. Phew – they did it – they made it down the aisle and […]
A lot of my business is referral based which is a total thrill for me to read “you shot my friend’s wedding and we loved the photos.” in the inquiry when it arrives. So when a bridesmaid from a previous wedding contacts me she not only already knows my work but my personality also so it’s usually a great fit for both of us. Clare and Justin were no exception to this rule of thumb. We’d worked together at Kait […]
Sarah and Joel live in Toronto and had their mind set on a Prince Edward County Wedding with a cottage vibe to bring their friends and family down for a weekend. They found a wonderful spot on AirBnB near the Sandbanks beach with enough space for a backup plan for their ceremony indoors in a renovated garage / workshop complete with a bar! I arrived to find Joel writing his wedding speech, refining his vows with friends and family around […]
Alli and Kyle had planned their wedding in Prince Edward County but a couple of shifts in planning needed to be made to accommodate their needs and a desire to scale back their wedding to a more intimate gathering so it was off to Toronto for the day to Le Select Bistro. We started the day at the Hilton Toronto where the ladies had a full on dance party in their suite while the gentleman took a more subdued approach […]
You know you’ve found the right people to work with when they change their wedding date to work with you. After some rescheduling and shifting a bunch of other components of their wedding around we nailed down a meeting for pints, talk about the Blue Jays and to discuss what kind of party their wedding was going to be. Alex and Jarrod are superhuman. Both have had some serious health issues in the past (Alex) and Jarrod in recent years […]
Renée and Tomasz’s wedding day was a short one (for me). They’re not centre of attention type of people and wanted to keep their wedding coverage simple. I love smaller weddings, and especially on Thanksgiving weekend (a great excuse to have a bunch of family and friends eat and drink together). We started our day arriving at Our Lady Of Lourdes Parish where a heartfelt ceremony culminated with Renée’s smile beaming from the signing table as her ladies wept in […]
Who says a destination wedding has to be somewhere tropical? When you live in The Yukon, Fields on West Lake in November *IS* tropical so why not bring your family and friends down and have a Prince Edward County fall wedding in exactly like Joanna and Joel did. Ok – not ALL of their family lives in The Yukon, only they do; so getting married in Wellington was not that far for everyone except the Bride and Groom :) We […]
