I tried to keep this post as short as I could, but be prepared: it’s super long!! If I could, I’d put all 1300 photos they received, but I keep getting warnings from my website hosting service saying I have too many photos on my front page. LOL

This was the perfect wedding from beginning to finish. I pretty much loved every detail from the wedding – from the attires to the decorations and location. There’s not one single photo I dislike and I’m pretty sure you guys won’t get bored while scrolling down my blog. :)

You might remember Adrienne and Eduardo because not too long ago I posted their also perfect winter engagement photo session – if you missed it, it’s definitely worth checking it out. These two just got married this past July and I’m so very lucky to have been part of their day.

Congrats, Adrienne and Eduardo! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!! ♥

p.s.: I purposely didn’t mention how I loved working with such a good-looking-gorgeous-should-be-a-model bride simply because after spending the whole day with them, I cannot just write about their looks. These two are amazing human beings and it was a pleasure working with them and meeting their whole family.

p.s.2.: I’ve come to the conclusion that I will never be able to post all shoots I love here (due to having no time at all), so please check out my latest work at my Facebook page! :)

I know every time I’m shooting a wedding here in Whitby I start my blog post with the same line, however, I can’t help it: I love working 10 minutes away from home. :)

You might remember Laura and Ray from a Fall e-session I posted not too long ago (click here!). They celebrated their wedding just last month! Ceremony was held at the beautiful Trafalgar Castle School followed by a reception by the lake. We were really lucky to get a sunny weekend during these rainy days. Honestly could not wait to have some time during these busy summer days to post this.

Congrats, Laura and Ray! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness. ♥

Posting a wedding here at the blog means spending at least a good 3 hours of my day: deciding which photos will go here, resizing all of them, uploading everything to the blog, putting everything together making sure it tells a story, going through everything once again and deleting some so it’s not a super long post.

During summer spending 3 hours doing that while I need to edited photo sessions that are happening right now is tough. However this was my first time shooting at the beautiful Doctor’s House and I could not skip N. and H.’s wedding from here.

It’s really hard to not make the post super long because there are so many images I love and wanted to share with you and it honestly breaks my heart to not post everything I could. Even my web hosting service already warned me I post to many photos on my front page and it might make my site slower. LOL.

Anyways, this is N. and H.’s wedding from last May. You can also view their e-session here. Congrats N. and H., best wishes always! ♥

May and June have been incredibly busy. Just last week I had Kristine and Télcio’s photoshoot (exactly a week ago!), a Bat Mitzvah service the next day, a wedding on Saturday and a Bat Mitzvah party on Sunday! The other days? Using to edit all the photo shoots and weddings from two, three weeks before. My friends tell me they wish they could “only work on weekends”, but I’m pretty sure I work more than most of them. ;)

Weather hasn’t been that great so we’re also having lots of rescheduling, but I was so glad I was able to work with Kristine and Télcio last Wednesday. I’m completely in love with this photo session – I could literally post all photos from this shoot.

Kristine and Télcio are from Brazil and were actually in their honeymoon when these photos were taken. A friend of theirs had shot a maternity photo shoot with me and told them about my work. They only had one week left here in Canada, I didn’t have that many days available, it was raining almost every single day, but thankfully weather decided to cooperate on one of the few days we were both available.

The sunshine last Wednesday was just gorgeous!! Kristine decided to wear the wedding dress that belonged to her mom and honestly, that made the photos even more special! Let me share some of my favorites with you. :)

Kristine and Télcio, congrats on your wedding and thanks so much for letting me capture such a special moment in your lives. ♥

Let me tell you something: different from what you read on every wedding photographer’s “About Me”, I never dreamed of becoming a professional photographer. When I was a little girl I wanted to be writer – I used to write a lot when I was 6-7 thinking that maybe I would get those “books” published one day. Then I became a teenager and completely forgot about it.

Once I had to choose a major in University, I picked Japanese. Why? Don’t ask me, I had no idea what I was doing career wise. Some months later, I decided to study IT. Yes, I have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. I worked many, many years as a web programmer and although I was pretty good at it, I never really loved that career.

Photography was always there, ever since I was a kid – I used to take millions of photos and had a pretty popular Fotolog. People would tell me how talented I was, however I never thought of earning a living out of that.

If you asked me what was my dream job in my early 20s, I’d say working at Disney World. Doing whatever. Just wanted to be at Magic Kingdom every single day of my life. To this day I love that place and I basically work to support my Disney addiction. Anyways… working at Disney World was not doable for many obvious reasons. However, I have to admit: I’m happy doing this. Really happy. Even though it was never a “dream” I was pursuing. Capturing milestones in people’s lives is wonderful and I’m aware of how lucky I am to be able to make a decent living out of photography.

I mentioned Disney World because that was where I got a call from Ashwin asking me if I was available to shoot their wedding day last month. I honestly thought he was joking since he called me in February – yes, February of THIS year. Turns out it wasn’t a prank call. LOL

I worked with Anna about 5 years ago and I could not believe she still remembered me. Even though their wedding day was just a month away, they also wanted an engagement shoot (which you can view here. check it out later, it’s definitely worth it!). We had the E-Session 4 (yes, FOUR) days before their wedding day.

In the end, everything turn out great – I loved their engagement shoot and can’t even start on how I’m in love with every single picture from this wedding.

This was my first 2015 wedding and I could have not asked for a better couple. Be prepared: this will be a super long post. They had TWO ceremonies: an Indian one and a Polish one. The reception was so full of entertainment and great moments that it was hard to pick which ones were going to be here.

Enough talking – let me share some of my favorite moments with you!

Congrats, Anna and Ashwin! I had an amazing time working with you two! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness. ♥

This post goes to show that you really don’t need a photographer for the entire day to capture all the great moments you want to remember from your wedding day. This beautiful beautiful wedding was captured in only 6 hours! Well, it also helps if you’re getting ready super close to your venue and don’t want thousands of portraits before & after ceremony.

When I met Tara I felt she was very practical. She and Ryan didn’t want an e-session and didn’t want to spend their entire wedding day posing for photos. So we did just a few of getting ready, went straight to ceremony, spend about an hour outside and went back inside to enjoy the reception. Can’t forget to mention they were super brave about having their portraits done during a freezing and windy windy windy night at the Distillery District.

Tara’s and Ryan’s wedding was definitely one of my favorites to shoot this past year: their wedding was really intimate – they had about 50 guests if I remember correctly. What I love about small weddings is that you can tell that everybody that is there really matters to them and they are all so into the moment. And that’s what photographers love – capturing those special non-manufactured moments throughout the night.

Congrats, Tara and Ryan! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness. ♥

This is Amy’s and Matt’s gorgeous wedding from last September. If you come here often, you might remember them from the Cheltenham Badlands e-shoot (click here – it’s totally worth it!). They were really lucky to get a sunny day among all these rainy weekends.

I was super excited to finally go to Parkwood Estate – an amazing venue super close to home (YAY!) and I was dying to share these photos with you! So be prepared, this is a very long post (due to a very long day), but there was no way I could cut out any of these photos I’m sharing with you.

Congrats, Amy and Matt! Love and best wishes, always. ♥

I could have not asked for a better couple to close my 2014 wedding season. I absolutely loved working with Lina & Eric and all their wedding party!

They got married this past November at the Westin Prince in Toronto, followed by the traditional 10-course chinese dinner reception (yummy!). Lina was a bit worried about being too cold and dark during her portraits session, but we got some amazing photos during that night. (as you can see above!)

Even though I had tons of fun during Door Games, the most creative one I have ever shot, I won’t be posting any of the photos here (Eric and the guys will thank me for that! LOL).

Congratulations, Lina and Eric, hope you guys have a wonderful life together! ♥

This wedding was absolutely beautiful! I was a bit worried the whole week before because forecast was for a lot of rain – however, for our luck, all the rain decided to fall the night before. :)

I loved pretty much everything from this wedding – Steph’s super modern dress (it had pockets!!), her bridesmaids’ cocktail dresses, her GORGEOUS GORGEOUS bouquet (if only I could go back in time and have THAT bouquet on my wedding day), Joe’s super excited groomsmen, a lovely and tearful ceremony (under a sky that couldn’t decide between cloudy and sunny), amazing sunshine during the portraits and a super fun reception.

The drive to Blue Mountain was totally worth it – congrats, Steph and Joe! Wishing you love and happiness, always. ♥

I can’t lie – Erika and Chris Engagement Session was my favorite one from this past summer. She had this gorgeous dress, we got amazing light, they weren’t shy at all and everything was pretty much perfect (click here to view it!). I had the hardest time blogging on top of their post and kept their photos on the very top of my website for the longest time. But finally, I have their wedding to share!

Let’s face it – nobody wants rain on their wedding day, especially if you’re planning on getting married outdoors. Forecast was giving us a partly cloudy day, but rain and wind decided to show up once the ceremony was about to begin. Ceremony was held indoors and it was beautiful – happiness was written all over Erika and Chris’ faces once they saw each other.

Rain decided to give us a break for about an hour and we were able to go outside for pictures. We even had the chance of going to the actual location where the ceremony was supposed to be held and got my brand new Facebook cover picture. :)

Reception was filled with kisses – I had never seen a bride and groom kiss so much. Usually I don’t post that much from reception, but I couldn’t help with this one.

Congrats, Erika and Chris! Much love, health and happiness to you both. ♥
