At the King Edward Hotel in downtown Toronto, gratitude expressed in the languages of the family and guests.
The day was as perfect as the location. The University of Toronto is a wonderful location to hold a fall wedding.
Ontario has some of the most wonderful resorts. The Briar Resort, Spa and Conference Centre in Jackson’s Point on Lake Simcoe is over 165 years old and a great place to take photographs.
Over the last decade, the style of wedding photography has become more casual. Photo journalism has replaced the more classic style of photography. However, there is still a place for the beautifully composed portrait of the bride, and the bride and groom. At OCAD University, I teach lighting, composition and other art elements to the students in my photography classes. When I photograph weddings, I make sure that I practice what I teach, giving couples both fun casual and beautiful artisanal images of their wedding day.
I photographed a beautiful joy filled wedding during the Easter and Passover weekend. The day was truly an inspiring start to the spring wedding season! I received an email from the bride a couple of days later - "I just wanted to thank you for being such a fabulous photographer on my wedding day! You were so helpful and wonderful! Thank you for keeping the mood upbeat and fun!" The note was much appreciated, but I always feel that I should be the one thanking the bride and groom for including me in their wedding! As I have often said, "I have the best job ever!"
Look at the blue sky! The weather was perfect for outdoor photography at the dramatic Dundurn Castle. The castle overlooks Lake Ontario - a great setting for a photo of a lovely bride. You wouldn't know Aneesa was wearing Ugg boots under her beautiful dress!
I am very lucky to be able to photograph at some of the most beautiful venues in southern Ontario. King Valley Golf Club is one such place.
What could be more fun - blue grass music, a wagon ride, the sweet smell of hay and period clothes for a lovely country wedding in late summer! The groom wore suspenders and the bride's dress was made of beautiful lace.
During the reception the bride and groom danced both the Filipino "money dance" where guests pin dollars to the bride or groom in exchange for a dance with them and the traditional Jewish Hora.
