Document Love: Anna Maria & Duy // Niagara-on-the-Lake engagement photography

Anna Maria & Duy: high school sweethearts, bicycle lovers, and food lovers. They are laid back and appreciate the simple things in life – my kind of people. :) Their engagement was quite a story! It involved a special trip to the Bahamas, jet skiing, Duy almost losing the ring, and a proposal in the middle of the azure Caribbean ocean. So incredibly sweet. I love a good engagement story . For their Document Love/engagement session, we took a day trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake because they love biking in the area. We walked around downtown Niagara on the Lake, made a geltao stop (yum!), and walked around the neighbour by the lake. It was a beautiful Fall afternoon to be spent in the company of two great people.

Anna & Duy, I’m super excited for your wedding in September!

Erin & Ivan {Married} // Toronto Wedding Photography

I had the opportunity to second shoot for the lovely Melissa of Moments by Melissa Miller for Erin & Ivan’s intimate wedding last summer.

Erin: is laid back and down-to-earth; is genuinely kind; is the kind of beautiful that shines from within

Ivan: is laid back and down-to-earth; is genuinely kind; is the kind of guy who isn’t afraid to cry

Above all, they are in love, with each other, and with their adorable son, Hunter.

Maitreyi & Shane // Archeo Wedding // Toronto Wedding Photography

“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”

Mike, the best man at Maitreyi & Shane’s wedding read this quote by Dr Seuss, which I adore.

Maitreyi & Shane got married on the last weekend of 2012. Maitreyi, or affectionately known as Tree by those who know her, and Shane met at Chapters where they both worked. That’s also where I met them. So we go way back =) I was thrilled when they contacted me and told me they were getting married! They flew in a few days before the wedding from India, where they had been working and living for the past few years. The wedding ceremony was an intimate affair with just 12 guests and it was followed by a beautiful Archeo wedding reception in the Distillery District. Both days were filled with love, joy, laughter, and reunions.

Congrats you guys! Wishing you nothing but the best for the new chapter in your lives! Thank you for having me along – it was amazing to be able to document the story of your wedding days.

We had a mini Chapters reunion!
