We’ve had some really odd weather this year, so when you get a lovely, sunny, autumn day, well… you just want to get outside and take in the sunshine.
Mother Nature was really kind recently when I spent some time with Kayleen and Gerben. They will be getting married next year in Stratford so we got together for their engagement session.
Gerben’s family has a really beautiful farm somewhere between Stratford and Woodstock (OK, so I can be directionally challenged sometimes) and we spent the afternoon there – walking around, talking, entertaining the horses, having a little (OK, a lot) of fun and chasing the light until it disappeared. And as you can see from the colours in the photos, it was a beautiful autumn day!
Kayleen and Gerben: Thanks for a great afternoon – I had a lot of fun with the two of you. Anne and I look forward to your wedding!

I recently had the honour of spending some time with Christiana and Taso – two really lovely people who decided to come our fair city of Stratford for the their engagement session. They will be getting married early next year and it was wonderful to get to know them a little better after corresponding via email for almost a year! They are two of the most patient people around… we’ve had to postpone our session several times due to inclement weather and as you can see in the slide show, Mother Nature was very kind to us during their session.
Christiana and Taso: It was wonderful to spend some time with you and I send you lots of love and happiness – I know your wedding will be a very joyous event and that you will enjoy it to its fullest. Congratulations on finding each other (gotta love Greek school!)

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of meeting Joanna in London, Ontario at the London Bridal Expo held at the Western Fair Grounds (for those of you who are getting married in London, it is a wonderful show to attend for meeting wedding vendors and getting some great ideas). And a few days later, I was thrilled to have Joanna and Ryan ask us to photograph their wedding this fall.
We decided to spend some time at the University of Western Ontario, their Alma mater, which has a beautiful campus. Combine that with great weather, lots of fun and laughter – and you have great engagement session!
Joanna and Ryan: you two are an extremely playful and loving couple and a lot of fun to be with… I can hardly wait to photograph your wedding. Thank you again for a wonderful afternoon.

A few days ago, I ventured towards the town of Port Bruce… a very pretty place along the coast of Lake Erie. I had a really great afternoon with Devon and Ted who are getting married in London next year – and – I also had the pleasure of meeting their “boys”, Wellington and Gustifer… two really great pooches.
I don’t know where to begin… it is really beautiful there and I had a great time with all four of them. I guess that is fitting as we had the perfect summer day together (aside to Ted: did you eventually get your ice cream?). And – it is a good thing that there was a hair dryer at their cottage as you will see in the slide show…
Devon and Ted (and the boys): thank you for an awesome time together. You are kind people and very patient – and I cannot wait to photograph your upcoming wedding.

Anne and I had the pleasure of spending some time recently with Janet and Don of Toronto. They came to our fair city of Stratford for their engagement session – and we are glad that they did visit as we love showing people around our new home town.
Stratford has many beautiful parks and we spent the afternoon visiting them (with camera in hand, of course). We walked around and chatted about many things, including their upcoming wedding in Toronto this summer.
Janet and Don: Thank you for a great afternoon – it was wonderful to get to know you both better. Anne and I are really looking forward to photographing your wedding.

Vivian and Vincent of Toronto hired us a few months ago to photograph their upcoming wedding … and when they contacted me recently about their engagement photos, they wanted to do something a little different and really fun. So on a very hot (and very sunny) spring day, we headed out to Canada’s Wonderland in Vaughan/Maple for the afternoon with camera in hand.
Needless to say, we all had a lot of fun – they are a playful couple and this was the perfect setting for them. If you haven’t spent some time at Wonderland recently, check it out. It’ll make you feel like a kid all over again.
Vivian and Vincent: Thank you for such a great afternoon … you are such friendly couple and we look forward to your wedding.

Last week, I had the pleasure of spending some time with Aliyah and Nazeem at the Distillery Historic District of Toronto. I first met the two of them at Niveanne and Omar’s wedding last year – and shortly after, they let me know that they were getting married and asked me to be their photographer. So now I have the honour of photographing this great couple for their upcoming summer wedding.
The Distillery District is lovely with lots of great sites and historic buildings. We spent the afternoon and evening casually walking, talking and simply enjoying ourselves (with camera in hand).
Aliyah and Nazeem: Thank you for such a wonderful time together… you are such a warm and friendly couple and we look forward to your wedding.

Last week, Anne and I spent some time with Katie and Todd. They will be getting married next spring, so we thought we would try and capture some of the remaining fall colours during their engagement session.
We had a wonderful afternoon walking around with them at a gorgeous conservation area … and also, mother nature was most kind to us )
Katie and Todd: thank you for such a great afternoon and we look forward to seeing you next year at your wedding.

I must say I am a bit surprised by how long the fall colours are lasting this year… and having said that, Anne and I recently spent some time with Megan and Denis who live in Toronto. Megan is originally from Stratford, so they decided to come “home” for their engagement session.
For anyone who has been to Stratford, we are blessed with some *beautiful* parks and we were also fortunate to have great weather for most of the day.
Megan and Denis: you are wonderful people and we look forward to your wedding day. Enjoy the next few months and see you next summer!

I recently spent a very lovely afternoon in Toronto with Kennie and Stephen. They will be getting married next spring – so we headed out to the Don Valley Brick Works for our engagement session. It is really lovely location near the centre of the city. We also were really fortunate because the weather cooperated with us – and mother nature provided us with some spectacular autumn colours.
Kennie and Stephen are also graduates of the University of Toronto, so we spent a bit of time there wandering around the campus to reminisce about their university days.
Kennie and Stephen: Thank you for such a fun filled afternoon! Anne and I look forward to your wedding.

I spent some time recently in London, Ontario with Lindsay and Craig – they will be getting married this winter at Bellamere Winery (it is worth a visit if you have not been there before) and decided to have a few engagement images taken there before they finally walk down the aisle!
We had a great time together, especially with the great photo opportunities Bellamere presented to us. Plus as an added bonus, I got to see them play poker and football (two games they absolutely love). And not forget, they have two really awesome dogs who came out to visit!
Lindsay and Craig: thank you for a great afternoon and I look forward to seeing you on your wedding day.

A few days ago, Magda and Luke from London, Ontario decided to visit our fair city of Stratford to spend a couple of hours with Anne and myself for their engagement session. We had a leisurely time together strolling in the park – and when I asked Luke how he proposed to his lovely bride to be, he enlightened us with a reenactment of it (they are the shots in the video where is kneeling, amongst other things!).
Magda and Luke: we look forward to your wedding this fall and thank you once again for a great time together.
