December 15, 2007 Wedding

When Rosie & Tim first met us, they had some concerns about their wedding in regards to photography; it will be December, it will be a night ceremony, Casa Loma is under renovations (and is incredibly dark - whoever said old castles have to be dark anyway?!) and what if the weather does not cooperate? We talked to them of our experiences with similar weddings, the possibilities, we put a plan of action together and we even attended the rehearsal to make sure everything went perfectly. Then the biggest snow storm in ten years hit Toronto!

Thankfully, Rosie and Tim didn't let a thing get them down and they exemplified our advice to every couple - when the day starts, just go with the flow and have a great time! We're positive that not only did Rosie and Tim have an amazing time last night but so did all of their family and friends! There was much laughter and even some tears, and this last wedding of the year for us reminded us what we love so much about the art of wedding photography - the immense challenges and the raw emotions of the day! Congratulations Rosie & Tim and a happy holidays to everyone!

Even with the big snow storm outside, Rosie never lost her head! :)

The wonderful bridal suite at Casa Loma (you could shoot a whole wedding in there!)

Instead of getting down about the weather, the bride and groom insisted that we all run outside and get a shot of them and all of the snow!

The happy couple!

Casa Loma can be confusing.

Smokin'!

This pretty fountain was hidden by the ceremony so we snuck in for a quick shot!

Why watch reality television when you witness this every Saturday?! Not a dry eye in the house!

We love it when the Dads know how to boogie!

Little flowers girls dancing the night away! It somehow completes every wedding!

December 8, 2007 Wedding

You could imagine how touched we were when Balvinder called us asking about our availability in either November or December. We had recently shot Balvinder's sister's wedding and spent considerable time with their family and we consider it a major complement when someone calls about our availability before finalizing their own wedding day! Moreover, it is such a wonderful experience to arrive at a wedding when you already know most of the family - you feel like you simply belong!

Mother nature was as kind as she could for December - clear skies and plus temperatures. While Sikh weddings are typically long, Heidi and I found that the day went very fast with this fun and loving couple!

November 17, 2007 E-Shoot

Unfortunately we are already booked for Carm and Robert's wedding next May but as luck had it, we were able to meet this fun couple and shoot an awesome engagement shoot with them. When Carm first arrived at our door she immediately professed her fear of photos and the pure dread she was feeling about the upcoming shoot. A few hours later, with a big smile across her face, she said that the experience was great and how much she really enjoyed herself. A perfect example of why some couples should (or must) have an engagement shoot before their big day. We are positive that Carm and Robert will now have some images that they will treasure for the rest of their lives but more importantly, when the cameras arrive at her doorstep next May, she will be far more relaxed than she would have been otherwise and the photos on that day will be better for it!

Commercial Shoot

While commercial photography can never replace the raw emotion of a wedding day, we must admit it's also quite nice to see your images in print! A local publishing house contacted us recently and our images populated the Canadian Petroleum Contractor magazine (including the cover). This is our favourite image which accompanied the article inside.

Cheers,
Steve & Heidi

November 4, 2007 - Wedding

What a treat it was to relax at a wedding! This was a family wedding - so the jokes made during the speeches actually made sense!! Our first cousin married this stunning bride.
She traded in her Leaf shirt for a life with a Habs fan! Danny & Melissa - what a picturesque couple!!

Sarah & Kevin make a fantastic couple and it's no surprise that their wedding yesterday was a beautiful and relaxed event. And despite the chill in the air, their energy, enthusiasm and overwhelming love for each other kept everyone warm!

The day started in old Brampton and the service was held at the pretty Christ Church. The photos and reception were at Rattlesnake Point Golf Club in Milton. There was still some fall colours left and in spite of the cool breeze and faint rain, we all ventured out for a few quick snaps outside.

Congratulations Sarah & Kevin!
Steve & Heidi


When we snapped this shot we said that she kinda looks like Princess Diana - little did we realize that there was an ongoing joke about Sarah wanting to look like a Princess on her big day!


Sorry Kevin, we had to include this as it's an amazing moment! But don't worry, we got one of your buddies too! :)

Every newly married couple gets to ring the church bell! Very cool!

Normally a hay stack looks out of place at a fancy resort but not during autumn!

If you don't like snakes, beware of this place! They have the snake logo everywhere!


This one's for Kevin! ;) Ya gotta hand it to men who are in touch with their emotions!


The benefits of bearing the frigid cold at night with your photographers!

October 20, 2007 Wedding

Heidi & Kerwood (aka John, Kermie or Kookie!) had a wonderful wedding yesterday at the Rotary Club in Brampton. And while it was quite breezy, and shoe malfunctions delayed the beginning of the wedding, and cute little Victoria cut the photo shoot short by nearly an hour, the day nevertheless went remarkably smooth, the bride, broom and guests simply going with the flow! In the end, the day will be remembered for much love and a tremendous amount of fun!

Congratulations Heidi and Kermie...er, Kerwood!
