ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY IN BLOOM

I have known Patrick for over 5 years. We met at the Host, my favourite neighborhood Indian restaurant. We keep on going back every now and then to update each other on our lives and happenings and, of course, to enjoy the flavors we love so much!

I was thrilled to hear he was going to marry Monique, his girlfriend of 3 years and felt even more so when he asked me to be their wedding photographer.
They are a sweet couple, travelers and movie buffs. We connect on many levels and I am so happy for the opportunity to capture their day!

Like many of us, Monique and Patrick love cherry trees. We waited for them to bloom and, before the petals started to dance in the spring air and gently fall on the ground, we hit High Park to enjoy the colours.
We spent almost half day together, it was so much fun!

Monique & Patrick, I will see you in June for a great celebration!

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AND LIFE STORIES

With no intention to do so, I just realized this article will beautifully tie to the previous one…I love it so much when it happens!

Kristin was Cristie’s maid of honour at her September 2007 wedding (not to mention the fact that Cristie will now be Kristin's maid of honour in July!)

Kristin called me end of last y
ear asking if I was available to photograph her wedding. She is marrying Matthew, her high school sweetheart.
They met 17 years ago while going t
o the Appleby College in Oakville.

As it holds so much meaning to them, this is the spot they chose for their engagement photos.
On July 11th they will get
married in the quaint chapel on the Appleby premises.
As Kristin stated, it will all look very much
like
‘A midsummer night dream’…

Matthew brought his two dogs, Chloe and Brutus. They have been together for 10 years…
Walking around the Appleby grounds with the four of them, taking fun shots and watching them interact reminded me of my blessings.

I am, yet again, able to witness anothe
r beautiful love and life story.

Congratulations, dear Kristin and Matt, I look forward to being part of your day!
