I was graced to hear from this cute couple when I had already booked Judy’s cousin’s wedding beforehand. Then, we had arranged for our first meet’n’greet and got to meet her fiancé, Chef Chris. You got that right! Judy got herself a cookin’ husband. They were so cute to chat with and I was excited […]
Read More...Once again, this engagement session couldn’t have been possible without the generosity and thoughtfulness of my UTGC choir-mate, Ashley — who in the past had bought sessions as gifts for her good friends: Marissa & Basel, Mandana & Daniel, Vaughn & Samantha. And with each session, I’ve met just as wonderful people as she continues […]
Read More...As the first wedding of that year, this was the one to start with. Everything ran smoothly, there wasn’t a feeling of being rushed, there was ample time to enjoy and banter around and most of all, to witness Karen & Allister’s vows, was the icing on the cake. Both of them were organized to […]
Read More...Coming down to the last couple of friends from the Catholic Chaplaincy at York University, Karen had introduced me to her fiancé, Allister, at our meeting discussing their upcoming wedding. It was exciting to see another friend accepting her vocation in marriage and only to complete it with a great caring partner for life. The day […]
Read More...At the office, Taryn and I had always enjoyed a quick chat about one of the weddings she either attended or was part of as a bridesmaid in exchange for an anecdote (or two) about the weddings I had covered. The time had come that it was Taryn’s turn to be in the spotlight as a bride, […]
Read More...Kim and Kevin were all too thoughtful for the family and friends here “at home”, as they threw a preWedding reception just a few days before their destination wedding in Jamaica. In actuality, there were TWO receptions, both at the same venue: The Richmond. It was neat to see the transformation from the luncheon (which […]
Read More...I got to meet this wonderful couple, Kim & Kevin, from another wonderful couple, Alicia & Louie. I had photographed Alicia & Louie’s wedding and it was so kind of them to pass along the referral which didn’t have far to travel since Alicia and Kim worked together. After our lunch meeting at Timmy’s, I […]
Read More...So let’s back up a bit … say, my high school years. Yes, THAT long ago! Hanging out with “ma boyz” (Leslie and Louie) had always been the typical thing to do after school. At their house, we’d either play video games, 2‑on‑2 basketball on their driveway, rock it out on full-piece band set in the […]
Read More...From an autumn engagement session to a summer wedding, Nikki and Ryan were both lucky have the rain evade those days. Yet being overcast made for beautiful lighting for their outdoor wedding at Cave Springs Vineyard. Because the ceremony was there, it was only fitting to continue the reception at the Inn on the Twenty in […]
Read More...You got to hand it to mothers … (now that’s a strange way to begin a post about a couple?!). But it’s true! If it hadn’t been for my coworker, Jacky, I wouldn’t have gotten the endorsement to photograph her daughter’s wedding. So much so that she joined in Nikki and Ryan’s engagement session … […]
Read More...I had sung with Ashley in the University of Toronto Gospel Choir for a few years and it was great to have met someone who appreciated photography, let alone my own style. So here she was, generously hiring me to shower her own friends with photography sessions as gifts and one of them was a […]
Read More...What was a cool and autumn engagement session (almost rainy, even!), only was a precursor to the opposite of Katie and Ryan’s wedding: bright and sunny and hot! It was so hot that even the groom and groomsmen had to relieve themselves from wearing their suit blazers during the formals, only to put them one […]
Read More...It can happen. Book a date for the engagement session. Downpour on the said-date. Book again! Yet it’s so great when the couple are flexible at a moment’s notice. Granted, during Kaitlin and Ryan’s engagement session, it was still overcast so we had to work quickly. Not having been to Port Perry-Lake Scugog before, I had […]

Read More...A month and a half had passed since I had seen Jessica and Marc for their maternity session. It was music to my ears when I had seen Jessica announce the arrival of Baby Ashton! Not long after, I was humbled to get the call to meet her and capture her at this fresh stage. What […]
Read More...A few posts back, I had gotten together with Jessica & Marc for a really quick session to capture some images which they would use to surprise their family and friends about their pregnancy. Fast forward to approximately 1‑month before the due date, we got together to finish off the maternity session. Held at their cozy […]
Read More...Michael Chan and I were destined to reunite. Back “in the day” (even before we were born), our mothers were co-workers for the Bank of Nova Scotia. Fast forward to six years ago when we moved into town, there was this guy who was outgoing, very easy to talk to, talented musician and just all-round happy-smiley […]
Read More...Time and time again, I am humbled with clients who are referred by previous clients. Such was the case with Charry and Ian. Charry has been long-time friends with Mandana (and Dan) and her sisters who was the catalyst to future clients. After a great introduction and discussion over the phone, we were set on our […]
Read More...So the year has ended and I thought to share my favourite pics from the sessions I had. I was given the honour of shooting weddings, engagements, maternity sessions (some for couples whose weddings I had shot previously), and shortly after, the grace to meet the baby that grew inside the mother’s womb, family sessions, […]
