Steph & Phil met on Halloween in 2007. Phil and His friends were hosting a costume party and Steph decided to strike up a conversation with Phil, who was dressed up as a half-naked smurf. They hit it off right away and boy are we sure glad they did! Although we met Phil and Steph under less hilarious circumstances (Phil was fully dressed this time), they still had us at “hello!” We connected on our mutual experience living in South Korea and our love for Korean BBQ but more importantly we were instantly drawn to both Phil and Steph’s warmth, humour, and their evident love for each other. We were also thrilled
Deanna & Robbie ~ A Lakeside Wedding in Oakville
Deanna and Robbie’s story is an epic tale of love from two separate coasts – Texas & Ontario… Their story begins at a wedding, a photo-booth at a wedding to be exact, after some flirting and laughing Robbie, ever the clever jokester, asked Deanna to take a photo-booth photo together. Once the photo was captured he tore it and handed one half to Deanna and departed for Dallas, Texas. The months following the epic photo tear the two kept in touch via social media and midnight texting. Not to be deterred by the distance between them, Deanna made her first trip to Dallas – it was to be the first
Selvia & Jeffry ~ A Vintage Engagement in Toronto
One chilly November afternoon, I met with Jeffry and Selvia downtown Toronto. Despite the cold weather, these two were all smiles ready to have me follow them around downtown and capture their obvious adoration for each other. Jeffry and Selvia’s story is an epic international tale. The two met in school on their first day in university in summer 2006 in Asia. They were instantly smitten with one another and went out of their way to spend as much time together as possible – they secretly signed up for all of the same group projects and any free time they had was spent talking, laughing, and dreaming about their future
Virginia & Scott ~ A Lakeside Muskoka Wedding
Calm and serene would be the two words we would use to describe Virginia and Scott. Everything about these two is laid back and lovely. Including their stunning Lake Rosseau wedding in Muskoka; a place close to their hearts as both Virginia and Scott spent their childhood summers in the heart of Ontario’s cottage country. When we met Scott and Ginny (as she is affectionately called by those closest to her) we couldn’t help but be smitten! Their obvious adoration for one another was evident immediately. With stolen glances, light touches, and kind exchanges – these two would make anyone’s heart melt. We were so excited to shoot their wedding on
Preserving your Memories…
Photographs are meant to be looked at, admired, and shared – no matter the medium in which they appear. That being said, there is no denying that although looking at your images on a computer screen can feel inspiring, seeing a photograph in print imbues an image with a unique kind of tangible feel. Think about the last time you came across your parents or grandparents’ family photo album – if you are anything like us then you probably spent a good chunk of time looking through it, admiring the longevity of the beautiful photographs encased within, and laughing at some of the ridiculously outdated fashions (or maybe that’s just us?!)
Samantha & Tyler ~ An Intimate Wildflower Wedding in Caledon
Samantha and Tyler just make us happy, like really smiling-like-baffoons-silly happy! Their story began in middle school when they met and became friends and were virtually inseparable. Although they did not officially start dating until the last year of high school, it was clear to all of their friends that the two were meant to be together right from the start – and we couldn’t agree more. With a mutual love for nature, Sam and Tyler spend as much time as possible exploring the outdoors and knowing how much his high school sweetheart loves wild flowers, Tyler proposed to Samantha at the Royal Botanical Garden while her favourite flowers, lilacs,
Engaged ~ Orla & Ian
Orla and Ian’s story is an international affair! Orla, an Irish expat, met Ian while working in Toronto – the two fell in love almost instantly and have been inseparable ever since, so much so that Orla now calls Canada her home. Although Toronto is the city where they met, they decided to be married in Wicklow, Ireland this coming spring – how romantic is that? In order to stay true to their whimsical wedding plans (they will be married in an Abbey in the Irish country-side – swoom!) we wanted to re-create that same kind of magic right here in the middle of the city. What better place to
Mike & Kerri Post-Wedding Portrait
Mike and Kerri are good friends of ours and we were honoured when they asked us to join them in Jamaica to capture their special day (week) in May. Unfortunately because of previous wedding engagements we were unable to attend but offered the lovebirds a post-wedding session in their hometown of Cambridge. We absolutely loved spending time with the two newlyweds walking around their hometown, snapping some photos, and stopping in to one of their favourite juice bars! Mike and Kerry’s energy was absolutely infectious and even despite the heat of the day, these two just loved laughing, kissing, and posing for the cameras!
Engaged ~ Joanna & Andy
Just in time for the fall season, we thought that we would share this lovely rustic engagement session. As soon as we met Andy and Joanna we knew wanted to photograph their wedding. The chemistry between them is so evident and so sweet we can’t help but sigh as soon as we see them together. In addition to their affection and love for each other, Andy and Joanna both have an adventurous streak, which we are always attracted to. This became especially clear when the couple suggested scaling high rock walls and stone ridges in order to get just the right shot! We also love the location they chose for their
The long-lasting beauty of film…
A few years ago, before the rise in popularity of digital photography, we were gifted with an SLR (film) camera. This little baby changed the way we looked at the world and was our first real introduction to the beautiful world of photography. Initially, both Hugh and I found it frustrating and went through many rolls of film that were only fit for a garbage can and not much else, but with a lot of practice and even more patience both of us started to get the hang of it and fell head over heels in love with the art of film photography. So much so, in fact, that while living & travelling in Asia, despite having
