Engagement portraits of Sharlene & Phil

Last week I shot engagement portraits of Sharlene and Phil in Edward Gardens in Toronto. What a GREAT couple! Sharlene and Phil are the most easygoing couple I ever worked with. While I was shooting I found out that Sharlene and Phil have a daughter and a son and they are going to be in wedding party as well and it is going to be a FAMILY AFFAIR as they like to call it! I can wait to shoot their wedding this weekend!!!

07.07.07

I was honoured to be a part of May and Michael's wedding on the luckiest day in the century - 07.07.07. I was very excited to shoot this very small and intimate wedding of only 10 people and it was great!

Summer wedding in Toronto

On June 16 I shot my first summer wedding in Toronto this year. After all my destination weddings I am finally enjoying a good weather in Toronto. Megan and Blake were so much fun to work with - they ran and jumped and we all had a great time! I shot together with Ivan, who is my second photographer, and he did an amazing job catching some candid moments as well! Megan and Blake chose a beautiful spot for their wedding, they got married at La Salle Park in Burlington. We shot most of the formal pictures in the park and Pavilion and for fun shots with bride and groom and wedding party we went down to marina.

It was a real pleasure to meet Debbie (Megan's mother) and seeing some familiar faces too!!!

Trash the dress in Cuba

Two days after I shot the wedding of Sylvia and Claude,we headed to the beach in morning to shoot "Trash the dress". This was so much fun,we all enjoyed this session!!!

Wedding in Cuba

Finally I am back from travelling and I can catch up with my posts here. On June 2nd I flew to Holguin, Cuba to shoot another destination wedding! Sylvia and Claude contacted me in winter, at that time I was shooting in Cayman Islands. After a few weeks we met in Toronto and I knew right away this was going to be a lot of fun. There are several reasons for that - first - Sylvia wanted the Trash the Dress photosession, and I am up for that anytime! Second, they had amazing pesonalities and I just knew they were the the type of clients that I like to work with. Third, it was the new place that I had never been before! Sylvia and Claude got married on June 7 on a beach of incredibly beautiful resort called Paradisus Río de Oro. I was amazed by the great spots for photographs. In the morning on the wedding day me and Oleg split to cover the bride and the groom getting ready in different rooms. Ceremony was very short and after that we took a little break to refresh a little bit. Guests joined Sylvia and Claude for champagne in their room. Then everyone had a little break and at 4pm we continued to take some pictures on the beach with the family and the wedding party. We had a great dinner and took some good pictures of people dancing and having fun! The trip was fantastic!

Trashing The Dress in Cold Waters of Don River

Recently I shot another "Trash The Dress" session in Toronto. With still cold weather but a couple of sunny days - I got my team ready!

The team: Sarah Anders - make up artist, Katia - easy going "bride" and myself - a girl with a camera.

The day started with buying three pairs of rubber boots so we can head down to Don River and trash this beautiful Victorian style wedding dress. It went on with taking pictures and getting in the cold water in our boots!!!
