Michelle and Pawel are a delightful, sweet couple! We met in downtown Toronto, one cold but sunny Sunday morning in April to do their engagement photos. They were so playful and funny - they must be morning people!

We walked about the Flatiron Building in Toronto and totally lucked out! The early morning light reflected off the skyscrapers nearby, casting a beautiful glow over the vintage brick and ironwork, illuminating the whole park.

Um, can we say totally in love?! Life doesn't get much better than this. I'm truly looking forward to the big day with these happy lovers.

Grace and Ervin were one of the easiest couples to capture on film. Their secret? They are totally in the moment! Honestly, sometimes it felt like they were the only two people in the world. I shot their University of Toronto engagement photos on the grounds of the beautiful Victoria College campus, in the golden afternoon sun.

The hazy light combined with the fact that, left to their own devices Ervin and Grace are in a world of their own, made for a totally romantic engagement shoot. It even left me feeling dreamy.

I can't wait to post images from their gorgeous bridal photo session, and I am so happy that I'll be present when these two lovebirds tie the knot in June!

Grace was glowing, with her makeup and hair by Toronto's Jennifer Schulz.

Congratulations to Grace & Ervin on the birth of their daughter Emma! See if you can spot them, in their happy maternity times, in the 2014 slideshow here!

I met Elle Daftarian after photographing her for Persian Tribune Magazine. I was thrilled to capture Elle's daughter's first communion party. In celebration of her first communion, the charming Sophia and her girl-posse had a fabulous time. The afternoon included outfit changes, family and friends, a fancy makeup table, and an exquisite dessert table made by Petite & Sweet (AKA Elle Daftarian ;)).

If you think Shelby & Ian's Unionville engagement photos looked like a LOT of fun, that's because they were. We explored - no, we adventured - around Unionville one Sunday morning last fall. Words wont really suffice to describe the day, or this funny, warm couple... But pictures might.

After a long wait (while Ian was designing and building a race car in Italy - just sayin') I can't wait to finally shoot their wedding Next Saturday - Loads more fun to come!!

When Mary contacted me, she asked me if I'd ever photographed an "older couple". I said no, and she replied, "then we'll be your first!" Despite Mary's classification, I soon observed that this couple are more active and involved than most of us (I speak for myself)... and as in love as school kids. In fact, Mary and Phil actually dated in high school. Life separated them, and they both went on to have happy and fulfilling marriages for 20 and 30+ years. Then life brought them back together... As Mary, in a stunning one-of-a-kind Hugo Nicholson dress, came downstairs to meet Phil on their wedding day, I could see the excitement and love between them. Phil with his kind eyes, smiling from ear to ear, extended his hand to her.  There was something about that chivalrous motion that seemed so tender. So true. It was New Year's Eve day, and we arrived at York Mills Presbyterian Church to celebrate what Rev. Ferne Reeve called their lives as polished diamonds, as opposed to the raw material that young couples start out with. After the procession (which consisted of the cutest little granddaughters ever), I stood and photographed from the door of the chapel for the entire ceremony. I observed the family and community that had gathered to support this amazing, vibrant couple, and I listened to the thoughtful words and readings. I felt truly honoured to attend such an event. Mary and Phil love music. The ceremony was filled with a choir, a singer, a pianist, an organist. The reception took place at the Badminton and Racquet Club, where we were graced with a jazz duo, and later an incredible group of vocalists who opened up the party unannounced (flash-mob-style!) and serenaded us with pop tunes, old classics, and a final rendition of Auld Lang Syne. The energy in the room was uplifting, heartfelt and nostalgic, as everyone joined hands, singing together, celebrating this new beginning for the New Year. Mary and Phil, thank you for the privilege of documenting your wedding. It was a wonderful day and night!!
