I had to force myself to stop shooting at Port Credit Memorial Park—I could have spent the whole day there! But we had other fantastic locations lined up, each offering its own charming and romantic vibe.
Hubert and Vince were total pros, bringing along some stylish outfits for each spot. Their colorful ensembles really made them stand out in the photos by the water.
It’s kind of impossible to choose the perfect day for your engagement photos when you are planning an outdoor shoot in the middle of a town you’ve never been to - you never know what can happen with the weather, or what might be happening in the town - but one of the things that increases the chances of success, is choosing a week day for the shoot. Places are usually crowded on weekends and choosing a day in the middle of the week was the key to our success.
Christine and Stephen’s wedding is not going to be until the fall, but we had the engagement shoot to plan. I always tell my clients, the first thing you need to decide about your engagement photos, is the season. And Christine already knew what she wanted, a snow engagement shoot.
As the sun stretched its golden fingers across the sky, Christine's wedding morning kicked off in style. Surrounded by her squad of bridesmaids and the comforting presence of family, the excitement was palpable. Picture this: Christine rocking her stunning Chinese red Cheongsam, blending tradition with her own flair, while her crew brought the party vibes.
We set our alarms for an ungodly hour, agreeing to meet at the parking lot of Samuel Smith Park at 5:30 am sharp. With the sunrise scheduled for 6 am, we wanted to make sure we didn't miss a moment of that golden hour magic.
As expected, David and Jen's furry companions, Mason and Atreus, were up bright and early, their wagging tails and eager eyes a testament to their excitement for the day ahead. But before we unleashed the dogs (pun intended) onto the scene, I wanted to focus on capturing some intimate moments between the couple.
Do try to choose a location that is meaningful and special to you both as a couple. It could be where you first met, where you had your first date, or where you got engaged. Do consider local spots you love to visit together, such as coffee shops, markets, or your favourite park to stroll in. Do remember you can keep it simple and have your shoot done at home for cozy and relaxed photos.
Victoria and GuenChan's story is a testament to love in the digital age. Their romance blossomed from a Tinder match during the isolating times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Their bond deepened over texts and calls, filled with anticipation for the day they could meet in person. Not being able to wait until the lockdown was over - it was GuenChan's impromptu climb onto Victoria's balcony that turned their digital connection into a real-life fairy tale, blending modern dating with a touch of Romeo & Juliet romance.
As the sun rose over the Sue-Ann Staff Estate and Winery, it promised a day of love, laughter, and rustic elegance. Nestled amidst the vineyards, this venue was more than just a place; it was a picturesque canvas where Jen and David's unique love story unfolded.

I just went back to look at Alicia and Joel’s wedding photos, and OMG!!! What a fun and happy morning. I already knew their vibe from the Toronto Bridal Show when we first met a couple of years back, and after their engagement photos, I was 100% sure that the wedding day was going to rock. And knowing that they booked Casa Loma for the ceremony and The Eglinton Grand for the reception, two of my favourites venues, that day had everything to be one of the most beautiful weddings of the year for me, and it was :D

Officially Archeo at Distillery District is the venue that I shot most of my weddings, and let me tell something, every time I come back, there’s a different feeling. And this time with Rachel and Ajay wasn’t different. And I hope to keep coming back more and more.
When Princess Beatrice got married past summer, all everyone could talk about was her wedding dress and compare it to the wedding gowns of all the other royals that got married in the last several decades. And that’s how it usually goes at most weddings - the wedding dress gets most of the attention while the other outfit details are seen as secondary.
Almost 99% of the time the getting ready is one of most fun moments on the wedding day, specially for me, because I have a lot of time to play with something creative, create something new.

Sometimes we meet special couples, some couples that just challenge us, some couples that want more than just the regular. Usually most of our couples are like that, but Jess and Jay just pushed that boundaries way way up, and I love that!!!
In the first meeting at their house, I knew from the beginning of our conversation that couple was a little different.

After all these years photographing wedding in the Toronto area, I still get surprise with how many nice venues I don’t know yet, Erin Estate is one of those.
When we first arrived at the venue in the morning to shoot the getting ready, I got shocked for how stunning the main building where Sarah and Matt was getting ready.
am a big fan of new year’s eve wedding, specially in cold weather.
Couple years back I did photograph my first new year’s eve wedding at Horseshoe Valley for Rosie and Shayne’s wedding , and it was a lot fun.At this time was even more special, I received the honor to do a destination wedding in Philadelphia.I have no idea how Liz and Erik found me in Toronto, but luckily, they did :)
The first time we sat down to chat with Jenn and Arvin, there was an instant connection. It was like catching up with old friends over coffee. We talked wedding, exchanged stories, and laughed…A LOT! As Diego and I left the coffee shop that evening, we both agreed that Jenn and Arvin are our people and we crossed our fingers that they felt the same. Thankfully, we did not need to wait too long to hear back…but now we had to wait 2 years until the big day!
Walking down the bustling and trendy Queen Street in downtown Toronto, past the tattoo parlours, boutique clothing stores, and dispensaries, it’s easy to get caught up in all the hustle and bustle of the city and never notice the hidden gem that is The Lodge On Queen
We were all watching the weather very closely the days leading up to Liz and Cesar’s wedding at Ball’s Falls Conservation area. The forecast promised rain…A LOT of rain. Liz and Cesar were hoping for a romantic outdoor ceremony in the courtyard of the Glen Elgin Room at the Center for Conservation, and Diego and I were super excited to go exploring Ball’s Falls
At every one of our initial meetings with our couples, we always tell our couples that as much as we’d love to spend a dedicated day hanging out with them and creating fun and creative photos with them, we fully understand that a wedding day is not a portrait session. We want our couples to enjoy everyone moment with their family and friends. When we met Karol and Michael though, they right away told us they’d like to skip their getting ready to have more time for those fun and creative portraits, and you know we had to jump at the opportunity.
Ok, so we may be kind of obsessed with Kelso Conservation Area in Milton. It was our third time shooting an engagement shoot there in 12 months, and we are already excited for the next time! Kelso Conservation Area just has so many unique and fun spots to shoot at, endless possibilities to create, and when we have an amazingly fun couple like Jordana and Jeremy to come along for the ride, Diego and I have to work hard to contain our excitement.
On the shores of Lake Huron in Bruce County, in the municipality of Kincardine, is a small little community also called Kincardine, where the sandy beaches and clear blue water of Lake Huron are the main attraction. While Kincardine was founded in 1848, it wasn’t until this summer that Diego and I discovered Kincardine thanks to Carolyn and Leo
Christina and Travis’ wedding at the Eglinton West Gallery, like most Covid weddings, had to be rescheduled on more than one occasion. Who knew we’d still be dealing with all these restrictions so far into 2021?! But as August of 2021 came, and restrictions were gradually being lifted, it was finally time for Christina and Travis to get married
One of our favourite parts of being wedding photographers is the connections and friendships we build with our couples. It’s even more special when those connections extend to the family and friends as well. We met Madeline and Corey a few years back at Shelby and Adam’s wedding at the Stonewall Estate, where Madeline was a bridesmaid for her sister Shelby and Corey was a groomsman for Adam.
Diego and I have been waiting for Becky and Kyle’s wedding for the past 2.5 years. I remember so clearly our first meeting with them, where we sat and chatted for close to 3 hours about everything from their wedding to life in general. It was like catching up with old friends. At that time though I remember us thinking that 2.5 years is ages from now
The wedding season of 2024 came a bit later than usual for us, but it was so perfect to have the first wedding of the season been on spring. Everything was green and with a lot of flowers at The Millcroft Inn, matching perfectly with Dominika and Rachel pride wedding theme.
