After living away from Toronto for almost eight years, we were delighted to make our way back to the city we call home. We’ve been back for almost two years now and are always amazed at how much this city has both changed but also remains the same. As photographers we are lucky enough to travel wherever our work takes us but to do a shoot in our own hometown always feels extra special. This is why we were delighted when Phil and Steph asked us to hang out with them around their neighbourhood in downtown Toronto for their engagement session! So on a chilly fall afternoon, we met Phil and Steph on the rooftop patio of their condo that overlooks the city. From there we followed them around, stopping at some of their much-loved hang-outs, snapping photos along the way. We had so much fun hanging out with these two fellow urbanites and we can’t wait to be part of their special day this summer at the Berkeley Church! Thanks Phil and Steph for sharing with us some of your favourite spots and letting us be part of such a momentous occasion!
Engaged ~ Deanna & Robb
We are so happy to share Deanna and Robb’s engagement session which has also been featured on The Wedding Opera!
Deanna and Robb’s story is truly one for the books! Not only are these two head-over-heels in love with each other but also their romance has been long-distance right from the start. Robb lives in Dallas, Texas and Deanna in Oakville, Ontario, but when these two get together…well one word: FIREWORKS! We were lucky to capture some of that last fall when we did their engagement session in Oakville (same place that they will get married on Thanksgiving – Canadian Thanksgiving, that is!)
It was a lovely sunny and warm day when we met up at the Oakville Marina. Deanna came with a whole picnic in tow (butter tarts included) and while the two lovebirds laughed, chatted, kissed, and snuggled they barely noticed us snapping away. Spending a few moments with Deanna and Robb you really get the sense of how comfortable and in love these two are and we feel so lucky to be able to capture all of that!
Dana & Nick
We are super excited to share this latest wedding, which has also been featured on The Wedding Co. If we had to use one word to describe Dana and Nick it would be ‘serene’. Everything about this couple is relaxed, composed, and tranquil, which makes their elegant vintage wedding all the more spectacular. As wedding photographers, we know that weddings can be stressful at times and after seeing all the whimsical details, the attention to the smallest little things, and the unique mixture of cultural traditions (Dana is Arabic and Nick is Northern Irish) we were amazed at how these two always managed to stay unruffled throughout the entire planning process. Dana’s secret? “I am marrying my best friend, everything else will fall into place…Oh and start planning early and get the little things done as soon as possible!”
Dana and Nick tied the knot on a beautiful summer afternoon at Bellvue Manor surrounded by family and friends from all over the world. The candlelit ceremony combined cultural traditions from both sides and reflected the couple’s sincerity and genuine love for one other.
The party afterwards was one for the books! The combination of old melodic Irish tunes and the fast-paced rhythms of modern and traditional Arabic songs had everyone on the dance floor. The flower girls and ring bearers were happy to join in the fun and a belly dancer inspired even the oldest of guests to get out of their seats and onto the dance floor. Surrounded by those closest to them, Nick and Dana danced the night away.
