Leanna + Kishan ~ The Knot Is Tied!
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 […]

Béatrice + Brendan ~ The Knot Is Tied!
This would be my third time travelling to Ottawa to shoot a wedding and I was stoked! I love the vibe of Ottawa. With its English-French bilingualism, and the water running in and around the city, it makes me feel like I’m in an official Canadian city. I’m so grateful to that Béatrice and Brendan […]

Janice + Reggie ~ The Knot Is Tied!
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 […]

J + L ~ The Knot Is Tied!
When creatives get together, wonderful art out of life is made. These two artists, J. and L., gave me the opportunity to be just as creative capturing how they had planned their big day. During our first meeting, we were talking all about our experiences in the fine arts program in university and all I […]

Angela + Aaron ~ The Knot Is Tied!
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 […]

Nhu + Greg ~ The Knot Is Tied!
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 see […]

Maja + Edward ~ The Knot Is Tied!
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 […]

Tiffany + Sean ~ The Knot Is Tied!
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 […]

Cinthia + Michael ~ The Knot Is Tied!
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 […]

Catherine + Matthew ~ The Knot Is Tied!
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 to […]

Ann-Marie + Ryan ~ The Knot Is Tied!
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 still […]

Debbie + Jafari ~ The Knot Is Tied!
“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 “crystal” […]

Krystiana & Ben ~ The Knot Is Tied!
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 […]

P.W. + S.I. ~ The Knot Is Tied!
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 […]

S.K. + N.S. ~ The Knot Is Tied!
This was a first for me (and perhaps most of Shazia & Norman’s guests): an Irish-Ismaili Muslim wedding. Shazia and I had first met at Mandana and Daniel’s wedding and I remember her being a wonderful and gentle soul sincerely performing her duties as a bridesmaid. When she had contacted me announcing that she was […]

J.D. + C.D. ~ The Knot Is Tied!
They were planning for “small and intimate” and so their wedding day was just that. At St. John Vianney R.C. Church in Barrie, a number of close friends joined their immediate families attended Judy and Chris’ wedding. It was serene and peaceful and perfect for them both. Thereafter, we traveled to the lakeshore to continue on with […]

B.B. + A.W. ~ The Knot Is Tied!
I guess you could call this one of my destination weddings, as I had to travel “all the way” to Stratford for Brittany and Alex’s wedding. What a beautiful romantic backdrop to celebrate a wedding. It brings me back to the days my wife and I were dating and enjoying the Shakespearean theatre and the […]

K.D. + A.L. ~ The Knot Is Tied!
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 […]

T.A. + D.S. ~ The Knot Is Tied!
We were all watching the weather forecast and thankfully, rain didn’t show up as a guest. It was great to have had both Taryn and Dan in the same hotel (Pantages Hotel & Spa) which allowed me to casually see each of them for the pre-ceremony shots. To say the least, everyone was calm, cool […]

L.S. + P.J. ~ The Knot Is Tied!
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 […]
