Christina & Davin Destination Wedding | Montego Bay Jamaica | Destination Wedding Photographer

It’s been some time without a wedding post, but I promise you that this next post will be sure to make up for it! About a year ago I met Christina and Davin when we shot their Engagement Session in Niagara Falls. There was 2 feet of snow in some uncharted areas which is where I always get drawn to for photos. It was so terribly cold and required multiple hot beverages to wrap up the day. There wedding however, was a much different story, same time of year just 2900 km away and 40 degrees warmer! Welcome to Jamaica! This was our very first destination wedding and it was an absolute BLAST! We shot non-stop for days (note the size of the post) and never grew tired of it. Definitely something that we’ll be pursuing with enthusiasm :) So without further adieu check out our experience working for the coolest (and hottest) couple from Niagara from this February!

For the reception Dinner everyone went to this super classy Japanese restaurant. They put on a phenomenal show with showing off their lighting knife skills and hilarious showmanship.After dinner, Christina and Davin had a surprise planned for everyone. They bought 50 big paper lanterns that each person sent off over the ocean. Each lantern flew until you couldn’t see it anymore!Moments after Christina and Davin launched their lantern, a bright shooting star soared right across the sky! Nearly everybody saw it; a truly magical evening.One final day for pictures and we chose to make the best of it, it’s Trash-the-Dress day!

The Cardinals

A little while back my very musical brother-in-law and his equally musical buddy Myles, invited me up to their studio to  “check out their new sound”. I took a seat and within the first 2 bars fell in love with the music. This song marked the beginning of a musical duo now known as The Cardinals. Now I’d love to go on and further describe their great sound, but I’m no music critic so I’ll just simply say that you should go and experience it for yourself. You can find their music here or better yet head down to the Mahtay Café Sunday night for a live performance. Enjoy!

Mark & Vicki Engagement | Toronto | Toronto Wedding Photographer

Mark and Vicki are two of the coolest people you could ever meet. When we first got together I knew that we were all going to hit it off…and we did. Words cannot describe how hilarious they are! And I don’t even think they know how funny they are. Mark works at Sheridan (where I went to school) and remembered me from their magazine. We had the greatest time in Toronto stopping everywhere for pictures and Second Cup for a good warm up. We became instant friends and the 4 of us will be hanging out again soon. So, to sum up: 2 Amazing hilarious people, instant friends, great time and photos in Toronto! Enjoy the shots guys :)

Jacquie & Karl Winter Engagement | Hamilton | Niagara Wedding Photography

Winter has been arguably pathetic in Niagara this year. We haven’t seen much more than a few wintery days here and there… and it certainly hasn’t been the true beautiful Canadian winter we’re used too. Luckily Jacquie and Karl picked one of those beautiful Canadian winter days for their engagement session! This couple blew my mind with their eagerness and participation for great shots, showing up with arms full of props and ideas. We spent the entire shoot in the snow covered gardens and never stopped shooting. After shooting we all went out for dinner together to continue our hanging out and to thaw out a bit. While we were ordering Emma and I were introduced to the world of deep-fried pickles (aka “frickles”). Turns out that Jacquie and Karl are straight up connoisseurs of deep fried pickles!!! We honestly couldn’t believe it when they told us that they had a journal dedicated to the documentation of Frickles they had consumed over the years! So hilarious! It was so fun for us to be able to work with yet another amazing couple. 2012 is going to be a complete blast! Here are some of my faves from their wonderful winter engagement session. Hope you enjoy :)

Robyn Portrait Session | St. Catharines | Niagara Portrait Photography

This next post will be the first in months for us! Emma and I are back in action after a seemingly short 3 month excursion through Europe. On top of being totally excited to be off the blogging withdrawal, I’m also super excited because these are some shots of my dear friend Robyn. Robyn is a photographer herself, and like most (if not every) doesn’t like to be in front of the camera as much as being behind it. Robyn was no different but there was a minute that went by during our shoot that we could have guessed it! It was such an wonderful (I’ll be it cold) shoot, that seemed to fly by far too fast! Here’s a couple of beauts of our now multi-talented photographer :) Love you Robyn
