Kristin and Justin celebrated their wedding day on 11·11·11! It was cold… but we survived:) Again, their love and affection for each other was VERY evident like it was in their engagement photos
We had the pleasure of using Kristin’s uncle’s farm for photos. And, both Kristin and Justin’s fathers were the ministers that orchestrated the ceremony. What can I say… It was an awesome day and a beautiful wedding!

Congrats Kristin and Justin, we LOVE your photos!

We are very pleased to introduce to you the wonderful soon-to-be-wed Martin and Katrinna! We had a lot of fun exploring Toronto’s Historic Distillery District with these two, ducking into a couple of the local coffee shops to warm up on occasion. We definitely found some hidden gems and loved Martin and Katrinna’s ideas that inspired the session. They did so well to brave the chilly air for the afternoon and you can’t even tell they were cold! Just as it was the first time we met with them both, the time flew by quickly without us even knowing it… Jimmy and I felt as though we could have spent hours more visiting. Stay tuned for their upcoming Wedding! And once again, congratulations to you both, Martin and Katrinna! We can’t wait for the big day to arrive!

Also, we were featured by one of our FAV blogs STYLE ME PRETTY!
Again, pretty awesome and encouraging… thank you for the love:)

We’re happy to present to you Evan and Ashley’s gorgeous wedding! Their day was very personal and reflective of the two of them together, from the Church they were married in to the photo locations and reception venue they chose. McMaster University and an Oakville Lakeside park with a pier and lighthouse made for great photo locations. Not only are both sites beautiful, but they are also meaningful to Evan and Ashley; McMaster being the University they attended, and the waterfront for their love of being on the water. Their reception was held at the Oakville Yacht Club, now one of our favourite venues for it’s view, classic interior with dark hardwood throughout, and incredible food. We loved the personal touches Evan & Ashley brought to the decor, such as their personalized wine bottle labels with a portrait from their engagement session, table names with a beach theme, table seating written on a weathered window pane, wildflower centre pieces, and other elements that tied the lakeside cottage theme together perfectly! And for the speeches, I have to say their Maid of Honour and Best Man speeches were two of the funniest we had ever heard! It was a great day, a lot of fun, and the entire bridal party were great sports when doing pictures outside in the chilly wind and rain! Thank you Evan and Ashley for choosing us to capture the story of your day! Congrats!!!

ps. here’s their engagement session

Sorry for the inconvenience. We hope to hear from you!

Thanks.

Jimmy and Sonya Bender

Darryl and Linda had a beautiful wedding in Stoney Creek at Liuna Gardens this past October. I’m pretty excited to show you a glimpse of their day. It was also great seeing our friends from Toronto Party Band, it’s not every day that you get to work with a group of university friends;)

Be sure to also take a look at Darryl and Linda’s engagement session taken at UofT Mississauga Campus.

Hope you enjoy!!

This past fall I did a few shots for Troy Withrow’s new music project Illitry. Please check out his site and stay tuned for more awsome music by this character. Go to his shows, be his friend on FB, and visit his website regularly because you will love his music, thanks!

We had a great time exploring Ajax and the Pickering Village with Jamie and Mason for their engagement session! We are super excited their wedding, May 5th 2012 downtown Toronto at Arcadian Court and One King West!!

Enjoy their photos;)

Here is your formal introduction to Aaron and Emily. They are such a fun loveable couple.  If you didn’t already get a chance to see their engagement session taken at a 50′s dinner, please take a look at them too:)

Sonya was with the girls at emily’s house. Emily looked gorgeous and was SO excited to finally start Life with Aaron.

I was with Aaron and the boys at Cravings family restaurant for breakfast.

Then we headed back to the Madar farm to get ready for the ceremony.

The ceremony was held at the missionary church in Hanover.

And the party began…

Michelle and Cleiford’s wedding had been a long time coming and after all the planning and hard work Michelle had put into it, creating many elements of the decor herself, their day had finally arrived. Michelle and her mom had been praying for good weather despite the rainy forecast, and wouldn’t you know it, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky the whole time. Jimmy and I arrived separately at the locations Michelle and Cleiford were getting ready at, each surrounded by those closest to them and sharing in their nervous excitement as they prepared for the fast approaching ceremony. The beautiful Roman Catholic ceremony was held at Saint Boniface Catholic Church in Scarborough, and upon exciting the church after the ceremony, they drove-off together in their wedding car – the same 1962 Chevy Impala convertible featured in their engagement shoot! The ceremony was followed by a contemporary rustic photo shoot at Black Creek Pioneer Village in Toronto. The black, white and pink colour scheme was gorgeous at their reception venue, Paradise Banquet Hall, making for a high-end DIY wedding. Their entertainment was great, driven by the MC from Sound Sensation DJ services and featuring some awesome dancing from a professional Belly Dancer, Cleiford’s groomsmen, and the traditional money dance! Also adding to the fun night was the photo and video booth provided by Candid Moments. We offer a huge thank you to Michelle and Cleiford for allowing us to be a part of their wedding day:) We are very happy to have been able to document their wedding story for them.
