Engagement Session with Kristy & Richie

An old friend I connected with on Facebook, asked me about shooting photos for her daughters who both got engaged this past year.  So I jumped at the chance, my friend Lynn is one of the nicest people you could meet.  So I was excited when her daughter Kristy wrote me and we started to plan our engagement shoot.  We picked the Scarborough Bluffs for the session.  I can't remember the last time I was there, and was excited to take advantage of the number of backdrops we would have to choose from.  Kristy and Richie are a great couple, and as most session the first photos we are all a little stiff, and in no time we all get more comfortable, relaxed and had a lot of fun.  Here are a few of my favorites from the day.

The Wedding of Lindsay and Chris

This past Saturday I enjoyed spending the day with Lindsay & Chris.  This vibrant young couple was up beat and full of smiles all day which made my job really easy!  The ceremony and reception were held at a local banquet hall however the photographer's dream is to have great weather and a beautiful venue outdoors to shoot and Saturday did not disappoint.  Following the ceremony Lindsay & Chris hopped in their stretch SUV and headed to the Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens at Children's Arena.  I managed to capture a variety of shots of the families, bridal party and most importantly Lindsay & Chris.  The connection they share is obvious in the quiet whispers they spoke to each other in between shots and their genuine bright smiles all day long.  It was a fun day filled with laughter and great opportunities for pictures.  Here are a few of my favorites.  Enjoy!

 

Thanks David

Happy Birthday Leah

This blog update comes with both good news and sad news.  See I first met Carolyn and Ryan back in 2007 when we first talked about the their wedding in 2008.  This was a big step in my business, this was the first true client that wasn't associated to any friends.  So as a fairly new business this was an important step.  If you have been following the blog I have been meeting up with Carolyn, Ryan and baby Leah shortly after she was born.  And we have been meeting every 3 or 4 months to photograph Leah's growth during the changes of the season.  So the first year project has come to an end, that's the sad news.  The good news is that my family has made some great friends, and we had a lot of fun capturing the last session at my home.  Hope you enjoy the photos.

I will admit it - shooting weddings is a lot of fun.  But when you get a chance to spend the day with a great couple, a fantastic bridal party and when the weather surprisingly cooperates the experience is that much better.  Shooting the wedding of Adrienne and Mike this past Saturday was a lot of fun and for so many reasons!  First of all the bride, AJ, was stunning and her bridesmaids had me laughing like crazy from the moment we met.  The groom, Mike, was laid back and like his groomsmen, was easy going.  The wedding ceremony and reception were held at Nestleton Waters Inn so the venue allowed for a variety of shots whether we opted for inside or out.  Overall the day was really enjoyable and the little surprises here and there from the guests at the ceremony, the groom at the reception or the bride and maid of honor wishing their dad happy birthday with a very unique cake, made it unforgettable.  I love my job.

I think Mike knows AJ very well.

 

The guests surprised the bride and groom with a sign - how cute!

Thank you AJ & Mike

Stephanie & Eric July 17, 2011

 I had the pleasure yesterday of shooting the wedding of Stephanie and Eric.  Likely one of the most unique and creative couples I have ever had the pleasure of working with! The downtown Toronto wedding provided a lot of options to choose from for shooting locations from St. Jame's Park to The Old Fire Hall, home of the original Second City comedy company, to the Enoch Turner School House.  Did the weather cooperate?  Yes and no.  It was sunny and beautiful but it was hot and humid making the search for shade and a cool breeze a requirement at every site.  Overall the day, shared with a group of about 80 friends and family members, was really enjoyable.  Stephanie and Eric have an obvious chemistry which I was witness to repeatedly throughout the day as they would share quiet moments of conversation and then burst into laughter and when they were photographed kissing... they were really kissing... not just posing.

The Wedding of Michelle & Jeremy

 I had the good fortune of shooting the wedding of Michelle and Jeremy this past Sunday.  It was a first for me, as the wedding took place on a gorgeous yacht which casually sailed the Toronto harbour in the afternoon and evening.  Mother Nature was on our side as the skies cleared and the waters were calm (much like the Bride and Groom) so the backdrop of the Toronto skyline made for some nice shots.  The show was almost stolen though with Carly, Michelle's daughter, and her pretty smile and pink polka-dot dress. All eyes were on Michelle and Jeremy as they exchanged vows and enjoyed their reception with an intimate group of family and friends.  It was a really nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon and evening so I thank Michelle and Jeremy for giving me the opportunity to be a part of their special day.  Here are a few of my favorite shots.

Cheers, David

The Wedding of Teri & Rob

Teri & Rob got married on July 9th at the picturesque Parkwood Estates in Oshawa.  The weather could not have been better; sunny, warm & beautiful.  I enjoyed a great day of shooting a fun & relaxed bridal party and family.  Here are just a couple of my favorite pictures from the day.

Cheers, David

Sydney

Here are a few of my favorite pics from a quick photo session I had with Peter, Lesley and Sydney.

I was introduced to Tracey and her family from a mutual friend Lesley.  Lesley you will see periodically in the blog with her husband Peter and daughter Sydney.   We met down at the lake and we spent some time laughing and taking pictures and I thought I would put up a couple of my favs.
