Debbie and Bobby – Little White Chapel Wedding

August 27th 2011, Debbie and Bobby got married at the Little White Chapel in Niagara Falls, Ontario.  It was a beautiful day.  The sun was shining and the weather was hot.  You couldn’t have asked for a nicer day or an even better family.  Both families welcomed me and my camera.  I almost couldn’t shoot enough for them.  A great time was had by all.  Congrats Debbie and Bobby.

My Big Fat Greek Jamaican Wedding – Sneak Peek

A little sneak peek into the wedding I shot this weekend. Latoya and Thomas were an awesome couple to work with and I can’t wait to share the rest of the images we took.


Jill & Jeff – Christie Lake Conservation Area Photographer

A cool, overcast and drizzly October day didn’t stop our couple from celebrating their marriage at Christie Lake Conservation Area.  It almost seemed like we were in the highlands as our bagpipe player walked the fields to welcome our beautiful bride Jill to her waiting groom Jeff.  The ceremony was delivered by Rev. Bob Pearce.  Check out some of my favourite shots from the day:

What a beautiful Sept Day.  The sun was out and the spirits were high.  You couldn’t ask for a nicer day to get married.  Together with my awesome second shooter, Brent Pilgrim, we had the pleasure to capture Tina & Brian’s wedding at Fantasy Farm in Toronto.  Here are just a few of my favourites:

Together Laurie, Tim, friends and family celebrated a beautiful wedding on an incredible August day at the Edgewater Manor in Grimsby Ontario.   I also had the pleasure to work with Brent Pilgrim.  He’s an awesome budding wedding photographer from Milton and my new friend in the business.  The guys had just returned from getting an Italian shave just in time to get dressed and get to the Edgewater.  The ladies, all 10  in the wedding party plus MUA and family, were all in great spirits and kept the house very busy.  Lots of hustle and bustle but in the end a beautiful bridal party and a stunning bride.  Here are a few of my favourite moments from our day together.

Christine & Mike’s Wedding – Video


Christine & Mike’s Wedding – Balls Falls Conservation Area Wedding Photography

Balls Falls Wedding Photography

The weather really set the mood for this wedding.  A bright beautiful day without a cloud in the sky, well maybe a few Cumulus clouds, but they just made for some awesome backgrounds.  Christine, her bridesmaids and parents made me feel right at home and didn’t mind having me wander around and take pictures of them getting ready.  When we arrived at the barn at Balls Falls, Mike was there waiting for his stunning bride to arrive.  The barn was beautifully decorated and then Christine made her grand entrance.   Thanks again to both families for letting me take part in your special day.  Also a big thanks to my second shooter, Milena Trpkovski.  Even though she works for Nikon, I won’t hold that against her.  Sorry Milena, but Canon rules!

On May 6th 2010, I had the pleasure to shoot Marwa & Sam’s engagement ceremony and party.  I had such a new, interesting and fun experience with this great couple and their families.  The Arabic culture is rich with tradition and the weddings are always beautiful events.  From the intimate ceremony to the great reception party, you could feel the love in the air as these two families celebrated.

Hamilton Wedding Photographer – Krista & Mark Married

What a way to kick off the year! After a couple month of down time and not shooting a lot around the holidays, I was itching to get out and shoot a wedding. I’ve had January 23rd circled on my calendar for a while now, because I knew it was going to be an awesome day.  That Saturday I shot an amazing wedding at Carmens in Hamilton, ON.  Joining me for the day was the equally awesome Peter Rainford aka rainypete as my second shooter.

I had the pleasure to shoot their engagement photos back in July.  Krista and Mark are warm, wonderful people and I couldn’t be happier for them. I’ve enjoyed getting to know both Krista & Mark as well as their son Maverick.  Everyone in the wedding, including all of Krista’s Dads, made me feel like “an old friend with a fancy camera”.
