Gloria & Chris are getting married!

Gloria and Chris are getting married… tomorrow! We met Gloria at Lauren and Jeff’s wedding in 2009 and since then I’ve been eagerly anticipating her big day. It looks like the weather gods are anticipating too, as the forecast keeps getting better and better. Gloria and Chris, you are two of the most genuinely wonderful people I know. I’d like to put you both in my pocket to keep your wonderfulness with me always.

Scrabble, a picnic, a warm Toronto sunset.

And lots of love.

Sigh.

I’m not in Toronto right now, but thanks to the wonder that is Twitter, I have been seeing pictures of the fantastic snow day everyone had today. And it makes me miss the lovely autumn we had last year that much more. Growing up in BC we don’t have wonderfully colourful falls – our trees are forever green, sometimes brown. I remember the first time I saw the Don Valley in September and I just about drove off the parkway. All the reds and yellow and oranges. It is such a romantic time of year. I hope you enjoy the colours and the love of this autumn session.

A super fun romp around downtown Toronto. One of my favourite ways to accomplish the engagement session goal.

I am a horrible blogger.

There, I said it. I don’t know why I have such a hard time blogging. It could be that after all that processing and editing and emailing the idea of more time in front of my computer is less than appealing. However, like most things that are good for you, once you do it you realize just how wonderful the benefits are. I’ve loved going back through all my sessions and weddings and shoots from last year selecting my favourite images to share with you. Sometimes when I’m in the thick of wedding season it’s easy to forget the joy that comes from simply creating. And so, with some help from my friends, I’ll be sharing my favourite images from 2010 on the blog over the next few months.

I hope you enjoy.

Gail & Brim are getting married!

Tomorrow! Yee-haw! I am super excited for Gail and Brim’s wedding tomorrow, not only are they two of the most fantastically wonderful and easy to photograph people you ever did meet, it’s also supposed to be 13 DEGREES. HELLO SUMMER-LIKE MARCH! I remember last March when I was stomping through the snow with a bride, cursing my decision to move here so many years ago and wonder just what exactly Toronto does to upset the weather gods every year. Fingers crossed it all goes as planned, but I’m predicting balmy summer skies with a 110% chance of photographic awesomeness.

catching up – Anthea & Chris

The past three days have been super fantastic in Toronto! Sunshine and +14 degree weather means everyone and their pups are out walking and running and smiling at their neighbours. Although we can’t complain, really, as this winter can’t hold a candle to the snow and wind and shovelling that we had last year. Anthea and Chris were troopers last year though, braving up-to-your-knees snow to have an awesome engagement session. These pictures still make me smile. I hope they make you smile too.

The picture above has been my desktop image for the whole year! I love the colours so much.

Kat & Yosef – catching up (part one)

calla — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:03:29 +0000

So a very looooong time ago, I posted this fantastic teaser for Kat and Yosef’s wedding. Since March in the month of catching up, or so it seems, I thought what better way to start it off than to blog their wedding! One of the benefits of destination weddings for me as a photographer is the opportunities it allows for me to really get to know the community that surrounds my couple. I often have days to explore the dynamics between their friends and family and really immerse myself in who they are and how the present themselves. So when the wedding day rolls around, I truly am just a friend with a camera, and that allows me to get some pretty intimate shots. As well, I’m able to forge some pretty good relationships on my own. There were lots and lots of hugs when I departed with the Toronto contingent of the wedding party. I love my job.

The day I arrived I was able to meet up with Kat and her girlfriends and family for some favour assembly and a quick engagement session with her and Yosef around the resort.

Later that night there was a fantastic BBQ on the beach and a little pre-wedding partying. So much fun.

Up tomorrow, Kat & Yosef’s big day. Their portraits are some of my favourite of the year, you don’t want to miss them!

Some birthday lovin’

calla — Sat, 02 May 2009 02:53:19 +0000

I woke up today to a face full of puppy love and some sunshine – what better way to start off your birthday! Today’s been fairly relaxed, with lots of puppy cuddles and games of fetch out back, but I wanted to post a blog with a sneak peak of some of the awesome images I’ve been working on this week. We’ve been lucky to have had some amazing spring time weather, and with amazing spring time weather comes some amazing pre-wedding sessions. I’m getting so excited for this season – it’s going to be fantastically awesome.
