It’s pretty amazing how people meet each other. Some people meet their friends through school, work, at a bar, or other sort of social events. Perhaps for me, it would be easier as I meet all sort of nice people, unique people, and especially fun couples through photography. I met Hannah and Albert last year and I’m sure glad I did. Last sunday afternoon, we had a pretty sunny engagement session. Originally we wanted to perform the engagement shoot in downtown Toronto. Yet again, because of the G20 summit, we had to change places at the last minute. Nonetheless, we walked thorough many streets and explored a totally new area around Yonge and Major Mackenzie, finding all sort of interesting places to take some photos, chill and chat for a bit. One of most peculiar places we came across was a park, named Ransom Park!

Here are a few of my favourite photos from the day.

From Ransom Park!

It’ll be three more months till the wedding day, but I’m already eager for that day to come faster!

Last saturday, I had a very fun time photographing Gigi and Mike’s engagement session. We all had a good time laughing throughout the shoot, sometimes none of us can stop giggling. Previously, Gigi and Mike did a bridal session so we wanted to do something a little different, something romantic but more edgy and modern at the same time and the play with more multiple exposures. Originally we wanted to perform the engagement shoot in the downtown Toronto area but that plan back fired when most of the area were pretty much barricaded. Nonetheless, we made some last minute changes to the location and wounded up in some really nice but weird areas in Markham. Namely, the back of First Markham Place and another street nearby.

Special thanks to my assistant, Billy for helping me throughout the night with lighting and setup.Here are a few of my favourites from the night.

Very much looking forward to shooting their wedding in August! Their fusion slideshow will be posted soon!

Last week, we’ve been checking the weather forecast every single day as they kept saying it was going to pour during our engagement shoot. As it turned out, it poured on friday night and we were blessed with some sunny weather during the our photo session. I had a great time meeting Kay and Wayne again and along the way, we chatted, had lunch and took some really nice photographs!

Here are a couple of them from the day.

Very much looking forward to documenting the wedding day in September!

Ever since the last wedding I shot back in November, I’ve been busy with my other photography experiments, babies and portraits photography, food photography, and of course music photography to say the least. I’m just blessed and happy to get back into the engagement/wedding photography.

I met Alice and Carl a couple of months ago and thought they were a really cool couple. After months of organizing and communicating, we decided to shoot their engagement photos on the first weekend of April, just one month before their wedding. The most pleasant surprise was the weather, a very non typical Toronto April weather which we saw as high as 28 degree. We took the afternoon and just had a coffee and walked around in the northern end of North York and took some very nice photos also with their dog, Porsche. Needless to say, with their charm, their engagement photos turned out great. I’m very excited about shooting their wedding in less than a month away.

Here are a few photos from the session.

After posting some travel photos, its now time to post some more wedding related photos. This is back in August when we held this photo shoot. It was a bright and sunny afternoon when we started off the shoot at Woodbine Beach, walked around St. Lawrence Market and finished it in North Richmond Hill. One word that comes in mind when we did the shoot: fun!

Here are a few of my favourite images from the session.

Engagement | July 19 – Christina and Andrew

Back in April, I met Christina and Andrew for the very first time at a local coffee shop. My first impressions were that they are a very loving couple. We concluded our initial meet up by deciding to have some fun and take some engagement photos around Main St in Unionville. Of the many times I took photos at this historical place for couples and newly weds, this one was different. Different in a way that these two were very relaxed in front of the camera and really knows how to have fun.

Here are some photos we took during the day.
