Humber Bay, Polson Pier and Distillery District, Toronto ON | David and Michelle Engagement Shoot

October 16, 2016

They don't call it the golden hour for nothing. As with most photographers, sunset is my favorite time to shoot. Something about that golden sun beaming down on your subject is magical. It was fun getting to know David and Michelle during our consultation, but even more fun during our engagement shoot. They came ready to slay and looked truly amazing. We shot on Oct 14, 2016, exactly one year from their wedding day. It was meant to be. We started off at Humber Bay, then headed to the Polson Pier and Distillery District in Toronto Canada, for some sunset and night shots. Here are some of my favorites from the session. Let me know which ones you like the most.

Niagara Falls Ontario, Engagement Shoot | Francesca & Jason

October 14, 2016

When I met Jason and Francesca for our consultation, it ended up being 4 hours long because we had so much in common and we hit it off so well. They're both filmmakers, working on a documentary on African American music and much more. Jason is from Rochester New York, and Francesca is from Toronto Ontario, but their love has no borders. So it was only right that we shot on The Rainbow Bridge along the Canada/US border in Niagara Falls Ontario (because the Canadian side is better lol). We had an amazing time shooting and got some real awesome photos, even if I say so myself. Take a look for yourself and be sure to leave some comments below.

Thanks guys.

Riviera Parque Banquet and Convention Centre Wedding | Doug and Karen's Wedding

October 10, 2016

It's so beautiful seeing two people come together as one, but also beautiful when two different cultures come together as one big family. The Asian and Serbian cultures are now one, united in love and happiness. Doug and Karen got married at Riviera Parque Dining, Banquet and Convention Centre in Vaughan Ontario, and had their ceremony at Serbian Orthodox Church St. Sava in Mississauga Ontario. Serbian churches are always beautiful and extravagant with their artwork, from floor to ceiling. We started off the day with the Door Games and Tea Ceremony which are special rituals in Chinese culture. We then went to Alexander Muir Gardens for their wedding photos and we had a blast getting stunning and beautiful images. It was a long day, but it went by fast, since we were having fun.

Hope you enjoy the images of their day, I got A LOT of captured moments I hope I don't bore you. Please be sure to leave some comments below.

Thanks.
