We are back today with Leah and Kevan for their wedding day celebration. We caught up early with Kevan and the boys in beautiful Mount Albert and with everyone in high spirits, the day got off to a great start. They were right in the mid of getting all dressed up, tuxes and all, down to the colorful, wacky socks Leah picked up for all of them.
A short drive away in Uxbridge, the rest of the day preparations were well under way, the tent up and the delicious smell of the caterer’s food preparations tantalizingly signaling every now and then the coming of a feast fit for the day.
And what a great day it was!
You don’t have to take our word for it, here is a snippet of how it all went. Enjoy!

For us this wedding was a bit of a première. We’ve been in the wedding business for quite some time already but it just so happened we never had an opportunity to shoot at Casa Loma. It has fantastic architecture and carefully trimmed and maintained, not to mention beautiful, grounds that are a pleasure to be in. Their Conservatory is a perfect place for a ceremony and there are plenty of rooms to hold cocktails and entertain guests.
Natalia and Erik’s wedding was a bit unusual in its setting. The ceremony, the cocktails and the pictures we’re held at Casa Loma. The dinner was set at the quaint Fieramosca Trattoria and finally the party was held not very far off on The Pilot‘s Stealth Lounge. The amount of effort and energy in designing, decorating and organizing this wedding was simply incredible, down to the exquisite custom hand-cut (by Natalia) invitation we received in the mail.
The ceremony and cocktails were classy (fresh oysters anyone?), the dinner delicious (fresh Italian à la carte anyone?) and the party crazy (pole dancing anyone?) yet when we say all this it still seems a bit understated…
Needless to say we, along everyone else taking part, had a great time at this wedding and the following is a small sample of the events of the day.
Enjoy!

You might remember Eva and Mark from our Edward Garden engagement session last year. We had quite a bit of fun on that day, shooting, talking, getting to know them better… Their open, easy going, fun loving attitude could not have prepare us however to the level of energy this wedding had in store for us. There are parties and then there’s this one that must be one of the wildest we ever attended :-).
The morning started quiet enough with preparations at both Eva and Mark’s houses and the bride reveal we set up went very smoothly, precisely as planned. Mark reaction on seeing Eva the first time was just priceless (see the images below) and pretty much set the tone for the remainder of the day. The Spring weather being what it was (I don’t even want to talk about it) we headed over to King Edward Hotel, downtown Toronto whose staff was very kind to accommodate our late request for an indoor shooting permit.
The rest, as they say, was history.
Lighting the house on fire it’s usually just an expression but as parties go, this one is literally as close as it gets without the use of an open flame. Awesome !
The following is a small sample on how the day went. Enjoy!

You might remember Melissa and Ben from their engagement earlier this year. Now we’re back with them for their wedding day. We knew this will be one heck of a day the minute we stepped inside Ben’s parent’s house, where he was getting ready : the Coronas were free flowing and the boys could not wait to get started. The situation was no different at the Heintzman House, where Melissa and the girls were set into the house’s gorgeous corner parlor. Hair and makeup were on the go along with the last minute wedding dress preparations, lots of activity but somehow a relaxed, cheerful atmosphere. This atmosphere continued pretty much throughout the entire day, all the way to the last beats of the party. And what a party it was ! Kept us, the wedding photographers busy and with big smiles on our faces.
A few words about Heintzmann House. The venue itself is unusual in it’s setting and set up. It’s a designated historic property protected under the Ontario Heritage Act, a beautiful 13 room mansion, built sparing no expense in 1817, with a nicely sized ballroom, a lounge, a kitchen and several big rooms (parlors) one can hire for any kind of events. With carefully groomed grounds and original walnut paneling this is just about the perfect setting for a wedding day. Cue in a cloudless sunny but not overly warm weather for a great recipe for nice photography. The guests also absolutely loved the fact they could roam around and explore this estate.
Without further ado, here is a snippet of this day.
Enjoy!

We knew Richelle and Noel’s wedding would be a meticulously planned day from the first meeting we had with them as prospective clients. Noel was very particular about what he wanted, a perfect day for Richelle, their families and friends to celebrate their union. With their fall engagement done last year everything started to take shape nicely and Sandra and I begun looking forward to this event. The day went without a hitch with Swiss clockwork precision despite the hot and humid, bright July weather which made the after ceremony formals outside the church and Humber Arboretum photo session a bit of a challenge especially for the boys who insisted on keeping their jackets on along with their smiles.
Down at the Embassy Grand venue the reception spotted impeccably set gorgeous decor, a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff to go along with a tasty cocktail menu and , among other liquid things, ice-cold non alcoholic mango cocktail, a welcome way to quench the thirst after our session outside.
Another thing worth noting: Sandra and I were impressed by the number of guests which knew well ALL the steps to ALL the music the band played from waltzes to country line dancing. Awesome stuff.
The following is a snippet of this day. Enjoy!

Wes and Rizelle had their engagement on Toronto Island last summer and today we’re back with them for their wedding day. As emotional wedding ceremonies go, theirs must rank pretty high up there. Reviewing the pictures for this entry brought tears to our eyes (and tears of laughter as well… ). Our host for the day was Le Jardin Event Center, a perfect setting for this stylish and joyous event.
This is the story of the day. Enjoy !

You may remember Brenna and Jordan from our last summer farm engagement shoot . Now we’re back with them for their stylish Big Day. Holland Marsh Wineries played host and provided the perfect fall backdrop for their ceremony and party. Equally gorgeous were the season colors on Brenna’s Dad property he so generously allowed us to roam free about. The only small kink in this perfect day was perhaps the cold and rather moody weather which forced us inside a number of times however, you’d be hard pressed to guess all that from the pictures as literally everyone focused on celebrating Brenna and Jordan’s union and on enjoying the day.
This is by far the largest entry in our blog so far…
Enjoy!

More than a year after James’s surprise proposal In Niagara falls, we’re back with them for their wedding day. And what an awesome day it was ! Nice, clear, warm-ish weather allowed us the full use of the Belfountain Conservation Area and held until late at night when we went on Grand Victorian’s roof for a few cool night shots at the gazebo. Then, there was the party. Wild is perhaps a bit of an understatement…
Everyone pulled all the stops to make this day run like clockwork. Here’s a little taste of it.
Enjoy!

Back with Robin and Terry for their wedding day and what a nice day for a wedding it was! The weather was perfect for their outdoor ceremony at The Royal Ashburn Golf Club and with a little whiff of cloudy cover, perfect for photography as well. Terry had an unfortunate work accident that left him with a swollen, broken arm but everyone pulled together to make this day one to remember and when we say everyone it literally means the whole neighborhood on the little cul-de-sac Robin and Terry’s house is located in. That’s not too often we get to see such a close knit community that looks out for each-other. On top of that, Terry believes one should never let things like a swollen arm ruin a carefully planned wedding, even if that means your wedding ring won’t fit anymore, heck, people have pinky fingers just for this sort of emergency…
This is but a snippet of their day. Enjoy!

It’s not very often we’d rather pull over and wait on the highway’s shoulder on our way to a bride’s house, but coming down Hwy.427 that morning, on route to Nelia’s Toronto apartment, was proving to be a challenge. It was raining so hard the windshield wipers could not keep up and as a result I could barely see couple of feet past the hood of our car. It was simply pouring so Sandra and I were discussing Plan B – indoor locations to replace our planned Osgoode Hall bridal and formal photography shoot. By the time we headed out tho the ceremony, the weather completely cleared up in a way just as spectacular as it rained and we went ahead with all the original plans. The service at the Ukrainian Church of the Holy Protection was very moving, helped in no small part by the beautifully singing choir back upstairs. We had a bit of fun afterwards at Osgoode Hall (perhaps the worst kept secret location in Downtown Toronto) and on Queen Street before heading out to the reception held at Le Treport.
This is a small photo snippet of their day.
Enjoy!
