When I think about my first meeting with Leanna and Kishan, it was truly a fond memory. Leanna, after her work day, picked me up from the subway station (as my Uber … haha!). Then, we headed over to Kishan’s apartment and we had such a chill, casual conversation over a French-pressed coffee that Kishan […]
Read More...This wedding was like something out of “Dirty Dancing” or perhaps “Dance with Me”, given how Janice and Reggie had met. The location … salsa dance class. As a result, their wedding ended up being quite an exquisite blend of entertainment, where their friends from the classes had displayed their talents with a couple choreographed […]
Read More...Today, my baby brother gets married. “Baby brother” truly describes us well because (a) he’s my only brother; and (b) he was born when I was a strapping 12-year old. I’ve certainly seen him grow through all the years. For sure there was that awkward adolescent stage where our interests collided (he liked Weird Al’ […]
Read More...This was an A++ wedding because, it was Angela & Aaron’s. (Sorry, bad dad-pun-joke!) Since our first meeting, we naturally got along and enjoyed talking about wedding details and the Raptors (’twas the season). And even though they booked me well in advance, catching up with them through emails was like catching up with long-time […]
Read More...When Nhu & Greg contacted me to capture their wedding, I was truly honoured. You see, Greg is the brother of Trish who is the wife of Cale whom I first met back at my old parish, Prince of Peace R.C. Church (when Cale was the pastorial assistant, then). Neat, huh? So now that you […]
Read More...Meeting Erin & John was a result of friends supporting each other. In this case, Ian Liwanag (who is a preferred DJ vendor at the Old Mill, Toronto), had contacted me to inquire if I was available for their wedding. After a Skype meeting with Erin, the rest was history and I’m indebted to Ian […]
Read More...What a celebration this was! Maja, who I’ve known since my first involvement with the Catholic Chaplaincy at York University, had found her prince charming, Edward. What a perfect match whom I got to witness and capture as their wedding day unfolded. Their ceremony was bilingual: English and Croatian, given that it was also held […]
Read More...Tiffany and Sean came to me through the referral of a wonderful friend and talented individual, Ian Liwanag (who’s a preferred DJ at The Old Mill, Toronto). Even after having dropped my name it was so considerate of them to pursue and get in touch with me. Our interview through Skype brought a lot of […]
Read More...They had seen me at work at Catherine & Matthew’s wedding and good thing I was on my best behaviour (LOL!) because Brittany & Matt, ended up giving me the honour to cover their wedding! Matt is actually Catherine’s brother and it’s so great when sessions work like this, especially when families like his usher […]
Read More...It was a winter wedding, actually the first of three that I had that month. Yet, what a wedding for me to start the year off with! Cinthia and Michael planned it so well, we even had a wonderful spot of sunshine and got to take some photos outside. I also got to celebrate it with […]
Read More...Being a wedding co-ordinator herself, Catherine had just planned a fluid wedding day that both her and Matthew would enjoy. And it was just that! Knowing that I’m a solo-photographer, we planned it out that I would see her first. Spending that first hour with her and the gals in excited glee, I was able […]
Read More...She was the maid-of-honour. He was the best-man. It was destined. The wedding I speak of was Jennifer & Josh’s about three years before Cinthia & Michael decided to follow-suit. And it was soo humbling that they would reach out to me to capture both their engagement and wedding. After a wonderful catch-up through Skype, […]
Read More...We had chatted a lot about weddings, as Catherine got her certification in wedding planning, and it was fun to talk about our experiences of weddings we’ve been to. I actually got to see her in action and work alongside her, as our mutual colleague and friend had hired her to make the wedding day […]
Read More...In the days leading up to the wedding, I joked with Ann-Marie, “So what time do you want me to start? Six in the morning? … haha! <nudge!><nudge!><wink!><wink!>” Ann-Marie: “Umm, yeah! Is that okay?” And when I realized that she wasn’t joking, I took a deep breath and told myself: “I got this!” I was […]
Read More...I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s always humbling when a peer of yours has faith in your craft and wants you to capture her wedding. Even before that, Ann-Marie was so gracious to purchase sessions from me to give as presents for her friends. As a result, I had met many […]
Read More...“And ya kyant beet dat!” ~ Jafari’s Father (in his distinct Jamaican accent) That phrase pretty much summed up the entire wedding day that Debbie and Jafari enjoyed and had been anticipating. You couldn’t beat how stylish these two were: the beautiful embroidered wedding dress with a vintage mesh veil and the fly suit with […]
Read More...What can I say about these two love birds? Elementary school sweet-hearts, youth ministers, faith-driven and über cute together! Having known them through church in our parish, it was very humbling to have been asked to capture their “Yes!” to God’s call in their vocation of marriage and to witness them vow to each other through […]
Read More...This coming Sunday, my family and I will be going to the 21st Annual Butterfly Release and Family Picnic put on by the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Network (P.A.I.L.) Network. At this event, real butterflies are released in commemoration to the infants that have been lost: whether through miscarriage, still-birth, or early moments after birth. Since […]
