After Kim and Fred graciously hired me to cover their wedding, I was so excited to get started on their engagement photoshoot. Hallowe’en is just as big of an event as Christmas and they wanted to incorporate that into both their engagement session and their wedding. As you will see, they decided to use the […]
Read More...These two love birds, I have known and grew in faith through the Catholic Chaplaincy at York University. And going back a bit further, I had known Renard back at our parish in Scarborough (Prince of Peace R.C. Church) all the while having served as a parish team member alongside his sister (who is now, Sr. Teresa […]
Read More...Although I had met Lisa and Bob through a referral from a great supportive friend, it seems like it was inevitable. Upon connecting on Facebook, I noticed Lisa and I had mutual friends from high school and I had to ask how she knew them? Well, apparently, we were at school at the same time!!! […]
Read More...How timely is this blog post as we enter another cold day in winter? But should we (Canadians) complain knowing it IS winter? Hehe! Well, Angela and Daniel’s love kept them warm during their engagement session. We first enjoyed the warm and humid air within the beautiful greenhouses of the Allan Gardens Conservatory (one of […]
Read More...I had known Jessica since I had joined the University of Toronto Gospel Choir back in 2003. Not only did we connect on a Filipino level, her bright personality just uplifts anyone she meets. And to match that sunshine, why not add another large reflector to spread that joy around (sorry, photographer nerd-speak). I only […]
Read More...From sister to sister, I was very privileged to continue to be a part of another wedding from Sonal’s family (whose wedding was the very first one I shot). Well, five years later, Tara was to “leave the nest” and start a new chapter in her life with her beau, Diogo. Being a couple who […]
Read More...Cute, cool, calm and collective…this is how I can describe Macy and Ryan, these two young love birds! It was so great for one of my long-time friends, Leah, to connect us. (Thanks, Leah!) During our initial meeting after I had gone through all the details, I had been so humbled for them to tell […]
Read More...As with the recent sunny weather, Brandy and Jason emit sunshine whenever they are together. I had met them both at a marriage-prep course, where my wife and I had been asked to give our testimony to all the eager engaged couples, encouraging them about the “ins” and “outs” of marriage and how they can […]
Read More...Well, what can I say about this couple? Young, talented, creative, musical … charitable and so much fun to hang out with! I’ve been so blessed to have the opportunity to work with yet another awesome couple who were so easy going that it was like we’ve been friends for a long time, even though […]
Read More...“Island Time”…could mean just the hourly change from time zones but for locals of the Caribbean (and close friends of those from the Caribbean) those two words mean “being late”. How could I even dare open up this post about this couple? Well, it’s because with joking understanding, they were actually ON time and we […]
Read More...Reliving the engagement phase through these couples is always a treat! With Jennifer and Josh, you could feel the excitement they both have for their upcoming wedding. They had chosen a quintessential location for the engagement session at The Adamson Estate in Mississauga. With young love, anything is possible! We found a cute raised landing […]
Read More...You know you’re in Canada when … you experience all four seasons in one … that being Spring. Luckily for Crystle and Hudson, the day of their engagement session felt like the true definition of Spring: blue skies, light breeze, pleasant climate and wonderful lighting. It was their idea to catch the cherry blossoms at […]
Read More...This year, the spring season has really been teasing us … more like confusing us when it would truly arrive. Regardless of when, the weather was not going to stop Mandana and Dan from getting their engagement shots done. In actuality, they really wanted to have a snowy backdrop and thankfully (I say that loosely) […]
Read More...I remember the time when my wife and I were preparing to get married…all of our other friends were getting married too!!! And that’s what brings me to this lovely pair, Ashley and Joel. Very good friends of Rebekah and Stephan, who got married last year, it was gracious of them to call me up […]
Read More...“Get your motor runnin’…Head out on the highway…Lookin’ for adventure…And whatever comes our way…!” Yes, these two love birds were born to be wild and born to find each other in marriage. We had set out to shoot in Guelph (where the wedding will also be set) and picked a very cool area at Goldie […]
Read More...So this is what I love about my job as a photographer: meeting new people, making new friends and seeing when two hearts are made for each other. Meeting Marissa and Basel was no exception. Ashley, one of my choir buddies, is a good friend of Marissa and she had a considerate and creative idea […]
Read More...<cue Mission Impossible soundtrack…dun, dun…dun dun dun, dun…> “Greetings Agent Dizon, we’ve been expecting you. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, involves simulating the photoshoot with the deemed-to-be-married couple, Rebekah and Stephan, for the first 10 minutes of the session where serenaders will wait for your cue to swarm in with Boyz II […]
Read More...One of the things I love about engagement shoots is scoping out the locations. In my discussion with Ghierhol and Andrew, they had decided on a “farmscape”. Living in Stouffville made it challenging to nail down just one backdrop because there were too many great ones to choose from! In the end, we went to […]
Read More...The forecast called for 60% rain that weekend and I was scared that we would have had to postpone Andrea and Steve’s engagement shoot. When we got ready to leave from the East end of the city, it was only drizzling but then halfway through the drive, it started pouring! Having texted with Andrea revealed […]
