Ashley and Chris are the dream couple of every photographer. Not because they are (obviously) a good-looking couple, but because they have chemistry in front of the camera.

All I can remember about their wedding day was lots and lots (and lots!) of fog. It didn't rain (well, not that much), so we were able to get many great photos outdoors - such a beautiful scenery they chose! Of course we all want blue skies on our wedding day, but the photos we got are absolutely stunning and mostly because of how the weather turned out. I love how dreamy some of these images look and wouldn't want them in any other way.

Congrats, Ashley and Chris! Wishing you an amazing life together! :)

Michelle and Colin are a really cute couple that I had the pleasure of shooting this year. Michelle was the nicest bride ever, so easy to work with! I'm pretty sure she has no idea of how beautiful she is and I just loved working with such a photogenic bride! They also were responsible for giving me one of my favorites E-Sessions of the year.

They got married at the Trafalgar Castle School, a really nice venue here in Whitby. And of course, I don't get tired of saying how much I enjoy working close to home. :)

Congrats, Michelle and Colin! Wishing you all the happiness in the world. ♥

This is Jaime and Rob's wedding at the beautiful Old Mill Inn in Toronto. This couple was so much fun and I will truly miss working with them! Their family is also amazing - I love it when relatives really like being around each other because it makes my life easier (= lots of Kodak moments!).

They also incorporated the movie UP into some small details from their wedding - it was hard not to cry when they left the chapel to Married Life. Anyone that reads this blog knows that I love anything that has to do with Disney - it still breaks my heart when I get called back to work for the mouse and I have to say "No" because I just can't seem to find the time to do it. :(

If you ever get that mailbox installed, Jaime, call me. We need to recreate this picture.

Congrats, Jaime and Rob! May you guys live happily ever after. :)

It poured all day during Anne and Richard's wedding day. Good thing the ceremony and reception were held at amazing venues - the Holy Name church in Danforth and the Four Seasons Hotel in Yorkville, so there was little to worry about.

I must say that these two were not like most couples I meet. Nowadays everybody is more worried about getting ready + movie-like portraits after the ceremony. With them, they didn't want to waste time with that at all. They just wanted to capture moments as they happen and really classic family portraits to keep (I prefer to keep family photos private, so unfortunately you won't be able to see the amazing family portrait we got to take at the Four Seasons Hotel).

Anne and Richard were really shy when it came to posing, but they did great. Let's face it, they are a pretty good-looking couple so there's no way a picture won't look good if they are in it. :)

So I just asked on my business page if anybody was going to the Arctic Monkeys next month. That has been already deleted... obviously I thought I was on my personal profile. So no, I wasn't inviting any clients to go to the gig with me. :)

I shot this engagement session a couple of months ago - Frances and Kieran were so much fun! Loved them, really cute couple and definitely made to each other!

I won't get tired of saying this... I just love shooting 5 minutes away from home! Please enjoy some of my favorites from this shoot.

This is one of my favorite family photoshoots of the year - I just had to post this right away!

I just loved working with this beautiful family and I must say that this was also one of the most gorgeous days from all summer. What an amazing sunset light we got on these images... it makes me want to have some time off during weekends so I can have a photoshoot like this for my family as well.

Really hard to choose which images to post, but these are some of my favorite ones. :)

I will miss this couple! Hayley and Dave were such a fun twosome to be around. I clearly remember driving to their hotel under the heaviest rain ever, hoping for it to be done by the time we needed to go outside. Even though the rain was gone by the time we had to go outside, everything was pretty wet so we couldn't walk that much before the ceremony, but we still manage to get some great images.

They got married at the beautiful Eglinton Grand. One of my favorite features of that venue is the first dance with all the guests watching from above. Let me share some of my favorite moments from the day with you all.

Hayley and Dave, you two are perfect together. Congratulations and best wishes always!

It takes me at least a good couple of hours to write a wedding blog post. I have to go through hundreds of pictures and choose around 100 images so I'm able to tell a story. I have to resize the images and even edit some! You see, I like to blur all pictures where the couple's last names are shown. I could just leave those images out, but in this case, I loved Rachel's wedding dress hanger so much, I had to post it.

This is Rachel and Michael's wedding and my first time at the Black Creek Pioneer Village - what an amazing venue! Actually, it was my first wedding of the year where we could go outside for pictures. Yes, weather is pretty nasty this year and I'm really tired of having to reschedule shoots and, with weddings, shooting indoors! Hopefully, summer is here to stay and all this rain should be gone soon!

The truth is I shouldn't really be working on my blog since I have a bunch of shoots to edit - so I won't talk much. Please enjoy their beautiful wedding day! :)

Congrats, Rachel and Mike!

From our first meeting, I just remembered Ashley was really pretty and Chris was "okay" - so I was surprised when I saw them both again. I'm so lucky to get all these good-looking couples this year! :)

I also have something to confess: right before the E-Session, I take a look at the wedding agreement to get the groom's-to-be name. Most of the time I don't remember just because they usually never talk during our meeting - I can say 80% of grooms just say "Whatever she's happy with". And although I knew Ashley's fiancé was called Chris because she mentioned his name several times on our e-mails exchange, I had to pause several times when talking to them because everytime I looked at him I wanted to call him Ryan [Gosling]. Ashley could be easily called Katy [Perry] if I didn't know her name. :)

These two are extremely photogenic and it was really hard to edit out images. I basically just removed some images from the end of our shoot because they looked tired - that's the disadvantage of shooting on a work day: they already start our shoot kind of tired. =/

It's been almost a year since my last maternity blog post, so I guess it's time for a new one. The truth is I do tend to focus on engagements and weddings here and most of my families/maternity pictures are just posted on my Facebook Page.

Iris and Daniel are expecting baby Sophia - due to arrive pretty soon! It was my first time shooting at the Kelso Conversation Area and I must say that location is pretty nice! Weather could be better, but as of now I already gave up on the idea we'll have a great summer, so I'm happy if we just get a day with no rain.

Please enjoy my favorite photos from their shoot. Congrats, Iris and Daniel! May you find babyhood a wonderful experience filled with lots of happiness and great memories.
