Jen + Mike :: The Dreamiest of Dreamy Weddings
Jen + Mike. Truly two of the loveliest, most charming couples I’ve ever had the pleasure to shoot. These two were married on November 7, 2009 at Heintzman House in Thornhill, ON. Anyone who knows Ontario knows that November generally isn’t the prettiest or warmest of months, and I was decidedly nervous about Jen’s idea to shoot in the nearby forest. Not only did she want her and Mike’s portrait session to be outdoors, but the family and bridal party formals as well. Eep! To up the ante, she and Mike rented a beautiful fainting couch and borrowed a Persian rug to decorate the scene. The portraits were happening outdoors come rain, snow, sleet, or hail. I was terrified.
The fateful day arrived. I awoke on November 7 to temperatures well above seasonal and a beautiful sunny sky. The day was perfect. There couldn’t have been a better wedding to finish my ‘09 season.
I hope you enjoy their images as much as I enjoyed creating them. A special thank you to John Edgar for shooting along side me, and to Niki. Stay tuned for Niki’s Super 8 film coverage of this lovely day.
Ok, let’s see some photos!
Kristy + Jonathan :: They’re Engaged + Awesome
I really like engagement sessions. I really REALLY like engagement sessions with people like Kristy + Jonathan who took a bit of a creative spin on their session. Balloons? Check. Giant purple petticoat? Check. Red suspenders and a bow tie? Check. Happy photographer? Check!
We started Kristy + Jonathan’s session at a downtown park, but ended up cruising around the beaches area for some fun and colourful shots. We had a blast!

Couples, if you are feeling uninspired or nervous about your engagement session, think creative! Think colour! Think theme! Sometimes it’s easier to loosen up when you’re wearing a giant petticoat 
Hair and make up by the amazing Ivy Lam. Love that woman!
Kinda makes you feel warm + fuzzy, doesn’t it?

Phillipa + Adam :: The E-Session
Pop Quiz!!
Phillipa + Adam are ::
a) Very cool people with superbad style
b) Very smart people who are into activities such as sociologizing and art-making
c) Very happy as a couple, and getting married in the near future
d) Very much all of the above
Pat yourself on the back if you chose ‘d’. Phillipa + Adam are all of the above + more. We had a great time in the late fall down at the beach, and made a little art for their walls. I hope you like their images. I sure do.
Happiness.
