London, UK Wedding: Joanna + Phil

12/2/11 – 04:41

This past fall Beth and I travelled to the UK to shoot Joanna and Phil’s wedding in Shenfield, Essex. It’s hard to believe that a wedding could change your life but it certainly developed our passion to become London England wedding photographers!

This was my first trip to England and I loved everything about it:

super friendly people
great curry
nice small towns like Shenfield and Billericay
train travel
the architecture
the wonderful cosmopolitan-ness of London (most of the people we saw in the city were not Anglos)

Joanna and Phil were such gracious hosts to us and we really look forward to going back to visit them for longer!

England beside Canada on the bookshelf! A match made in heaven.

The first recorded wedding in this church took place in 1536. I don’t have a lot of pictures of the inside during the ceremony because of a church policy but it was beautiful.

The wedding reception took place in this cool old orphanage dining hall called Poplar Hall.

Heart FM DJs

24/1/11 – 09:00

Between Christmas and New Years I got a call from Monica from Heart FM. They were looking for a Woodstock photographer to take a picture of their on-air personalities for the up-coming What’s on Woodstock.

Everybody was very gracious as I worked around them in big studio and the news room to set up and test my lights for this shot. Getting the light right in a room this size involves a lot of testing and Liz Wismer had an umbrella and flash going off over her shoulder for half an hour.

Thanks to Heart FM for having me over!

Toronto Wedding: Liza + Andrew

21/1/11 – 10:49

It was a rainy day in pizza-ville…

It was, but it was still great day for Liza & Andrew’s wedding at the Gardiner Museum. I had a great time being a Toronto Wedding photographer for the day. When you shoot the wedding of two architects you spend the day around cool buildings. I was in heaven.

Letter-pressed and stamped invitations made by hand:

First stop Liza’s parents for getting ready pictures. Liza and the bridesmaids did their own flowers and the make up was done by Al Fortier from A List Beauty.

Second stop (after a little short moment of the small towners getting turned around in the big city…) Hart House at U of T – an amazing space to shoot!

And lastly the Gardiner ceramic museum for the ceremony and food. The ceremony was held in (and catered by) the Jamie Kennedy at the Gardiner Cafe. The food was brilliant! The turtle tarts put me in chocolate heaven.

The ever beautiful Allison – her wedding was the first professional wedding I ever shot and some of those pictures are still on my business cards to this day. Allison and Ian are getting ready for baby #2!
