Trash the Dress

I have had a rare and unique experience with a client who authorized this post :) Thanks K.
Ms. K was engaged in a long term committed relationship and found out her partner was unfaithful right before their wedding. She still had the beautiful dress and was reluctant to sell it for money. We decided a therapeutic "Trash the Dress" session was needed. haha
It was an amazing day for everyone involved and an empowering experience for K. :)

new appreciations for weddings

I have always known the stress of wedding preparation and the months, if not years of planning that goes into making a wedding extravagant. However, on Saturday June 7th, I learned first hand the pressures that is placed on the individuals of the bridal party. You see, I was the best man for the first time in my life to my best friend of 11 years. As a photographer, I see everything that goes on during the day. As a best man, I have seen everything that goes on behind the scenes and I have felt the emotion around the day. This was one of the best experiences of my life. It has changed the way that I will see weddings forever and will undoubtedly change the way I capture weddings from now on.

waiting in a restaurant...

I ask myself sometimes if other photographers would wait 30 minutes in a restaurant for their clients to arrive for a special meeting arranged on a sunday afternoon?
does this improve or impact my photography? at the very least it improves the service for the client. we need to raise our standards for customer enjoyment in the process of wedding photography...not only on the day of the wedding, but throughout the entire experience.

Help Us Help The Children

A great evening of friends, music, and good-will. Last night I volunteered to cover The University of Toronto Help Us Help The Children event at "El Mocambo" on Spadina. The bands were full of energy and the crowd had a great time. Thanks to all that put their time into this event and good luck with the main Charity event on May 10th. If anyone is interested in donating anything (time, money, hugs ;) let me know and I can make the appropriate arrangements for your kind gesture.

A Spring Shower

A beautiful blend of Italian decor and Persian style made this bridal shower absolutely exquisite. Spectacular details, delicious food, and fabulous entertainment created a night to remember for all those who attended. Here is a sample of the night that was Tasha's bridal shower.

Las Vegas Photographer Convention

March 16 - March 20. I was able to get away for the week to attend the world's largest wedding photography convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. Up until Saturday March 15, I was still unsure if I would be able to make it, but a good friend of mine took care of me and hooked me up with the largest suite The Venetian Hotel had to offer. 1500 sq. ft of luxury! It's too bad that I didn't get to see much of it as I was attending seminars from 8:00am - 10:00pm every single day!!
The seminars were incredible though. I got a chance to connect with so many amazing photographers and human beings. Sharing ideas and concepts to help each other out was the highlight of this trip. Bringing back to Toronto so many new possibilities for every new couple that enters our office made this trip worth every penny! I am so excited to share with you everything that I have learned and I can't wait to take our finished product to the next level. I will be going back next year for sure.
