Rona & Timothy // Elopement Photography Toronto

“He’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same” – Emily Brontë

When I got the email from Rona about photographing her and Timothy’s intimate elopement, I just had a great feeling about it. Then I found out that not only did Rona like my photos and feel connected to them, she also felt connected to me from reading about me on this blog. It was an incredible feeling, like finding your kindred spirit.

They wanted their wedding to be simple, romantic and stress-free. And I think what took place was just that.

Thank you, Rona & Timothy. For being so lovely and kind, and for inviting me into your special day and trusting me to documenting it.

Joline & Markus // Puck’s Farm // Toronto Carnival Themed Farm Wedding

I’m so excited to finally share this amazing carnival themed farm wedding! I was the second shooter for this wedding, helping the lovely, wilde-ly talented and all-around wonderful Sara of Sara Wilde Photography :) Thank you for having me along!!

Joline & Markus tied the knot at Puck’s Farm in the fall with a beautiful and heartfelt ceremony, loving family and friends, delicious food, and a really fun and creative theme. Think cowboy boots, farm animals (including a cheeky Llama on the loose), games, candy apples, hay rides, and guests who dressed up as if attending the Night Circus. But at the heart of it, it was a couple in love, celebrating love and a manifest of commitment. And my favourite part of the day, aside from capturing everything with my camera & lens, was actually the sense of unplugging (from electronics, social media, and other forms of modern distraction; my camera doesn’t count), and being present.

Without further ado, here are just a handful of photos, enjoy! Check out Sara’s blog post for more!

The most delicious jerk chicken I’ve ever had!

I adore this photo below. It was like walking into a movie scene, enchanting. For some reason it reminds me of the movie Big Fish.

and the stars that night…

Shannon & Chris {Scarboro Golf & Country Club} // Toronto Wedding Photography

Shannon & Chris got married on a late September day at the Scarboro Golf and Country Club. It was a beautiful Fall day to get married. Chris is probably one of the kindest persons I’ve ever met and he just adores Shannon. As Shannon said during her speech, he’s just a big teddy bear. And Shannon? Shannon is beautiful, and she loves Chris wholeheartedly. You can just tell they are so good together.

One note about the venue – I was surprised at how classy the Scarboro Golf & Country Club is! Ok let me explain, most golf & country clubs I’ve been to are classy, but in a modern and almost preppy way. Whereas this one is classy and vintage and has one handsome clubhouse. The club has a lot of history since it dates back to 1912.

Thanks to my friend and fellow photographer, Karen of Boutique Photography for having me along to help with this wedding!

There’s something about Dad’s and their daughter’s…

We saw a deer on the course!

Shannon’s dad put his sunglasses on as he was starting to tear-up. Aww.

Adrienne & James {Corus Entertainment Building} // Toronto Wedding Photography

I met the lovely Lisa of Lavish and Light Photography at a workshop almost 2 years ago and have adored her work ever since. So I was pretty excited when I got the chance to second shoot with her for Adrienne & James’ wedding this past summer.

Despite the on and off thunderstorm and the humidity throughout the day, nothing could dampen the joy for Adrienne and James. As you will see below from a handful of my favourites. The most unique part of their wedding though, was their reception venue, which was the Corus Entertainment Building. I’d never heard of Corus before but what a whimsical and different venue it is! It’s actually an office building but they have a huge atrium in the back facing Lake Ontario, with all-glass windows. It’s modern and fresh. The coolest part of the venue is the giant tube slide that spirals from a height of almost 3 stories, and that is how Adrienne and James made their grand entrance! It was such great fun.
