November has been warmer than usual, yet it seems we still found the coldest day to shoot outdoors. These two were troopers in the cold, which is great, since their wedding is will be taking place in February. Open the post for more images.
There are hundreds of waterfalls in the greater Hamilton region. Like any photographer from the area, I’ve already got a few favorites. Julie and Steve introduced me to another; they were even willing to get their feet wet with me and freeze a bit! I can’t wait to see what they come up with on their wedding day.
There’s no better way to celebrate fall than to go apple picking. Unless maybe you decide to risk a “haunted” corn maze… or hang out in a pumpkin patch… and then walk around a whole farm. Thanks for the workout guys!
Congratulations go out to Kayla and Ryan! Not only did they walk across most of Harriston for their photos, they did it with a smile. It was easy to tell how much effort and planning went into their day. Thanks to the couple and their friends for the rocking party!
It’s not often I get the opportunity to photograph a wedding for a friend, but it’s always a blast. Sharing the day in Toronto with Kait and Geoff was no exception. It was wonderful catching up with old friends and making some new ones.
Oh my goodness, what a day! Despite some terrible weather that delayed the proceedings, knocked out the power and flooded the church (just a bit), you knew things would work out perfectly for these two in the end. The bride’s surprise serenade for the groom was just one of a number of great memories. I hope you guys had as much fun as I did!

When two dance instructors get married, you know that moves will be busted. Sure, the break dancing and choreographed bits were incredible; but that was to be expected on a day that featured so many things done just right. Check out the dance shots at the bottom of the post!
Highlights from this farm wedding included everything from carriage rides to magic tricks (and a killer sushi bar). For more info about Jess and Mark’s day, you can read their feature in the fall issue of Your Wedding Portfolio.

Since Sarah and Mike are getting married in the middle of winter, we thought it would be nice to have some photos taken outside without mittens. We went for a simple walk in the park (with the dog) to get some exercise and to celebrate summer!
Just a little extra advice: it creeps people out when you kiss with your eyes open. Seriously.

Lots of love go out to Danielle and Andrew, who made it worth all of the driving across Toronto on their wedding day. From Cherry Street and North Shore Park to the downtown core and an outdoor reception that had the block grooving, it was a long day. Open the post already!
Even though it was a record-setting scorcher in T.O., everyone survived the photos and held up well throughout the night. It must have been all the fluids that kept them going. Thanks to the bridal party and to the great folks at Steam Whistle and the Cherry Street Restaurant for the help!

Congratulations to Alana and Ziyad, who were married in London, Ontario. They pulled off a truly international affair; capping off a great day with some fantastic surprise dancing that night. As usual, open the post for images.
I love how playful these two are, even making time for a bit of one-on-one soccer — cleats and all. The ladies were all done up with henna, and did a great job on all the little details of the day. The guys didn’t look too bad either! (Nice shades Pitbull).
Thanks again for the fun times!

A big thank you to Joanna and Alex, for throwing one of the most relaxing weddings I’ve attended. How often does the groom take time to go fishing between the cake cut and first dance? (Open the full post for images).
The ultimate casual wedding in Canada has to be getting married at the cottage on the dock. With a bit of boating, trekking through the forest, and some personal time in the hammock, you’re ready for dinner and drinks outside.
Kudos for proving that the laissez-faire wedding can be both fun and chic!

Thanks so much for creating the awesome pictures! Not only is the couple wonderful, the end products are just amazing!
