Lydia + Shawn | Rockwood Engagement Session
Lydia and Shawn, along with their adorable golden doodle Nala, and I met up in Rockwood for their engagement session. I always encourage couples to make their engagement session as personal as possible, and the Rockwood Conservation Area was the perfect location for these two. We had a fantastic time going for a hike, exploring the ruins, and taking a break by the beach. Lydia and Shawn, congratulations on your engagement and I can’t wait for your wedding!

Andrea + Marin
Andrea and Marin were married at Our Lady Queen of Croatia Church in Toronto, and then headed to the Adamson Estates for their photos. I don’t know how she did it, but Andrea is the personification of a glowing bride. These two stunned with their easy smiles and sweet romance. Scroll down for all the thoughtful details including the grooms embroidered cuffs + engraved cufflinks, a gorgeous marble cake, a lighted sign for her new name, and the bride’s special flask!

Ivanna + Joe | Mississauga Croatian Wedding
Ivanna and Joe were married on a bright and hot August day. After some good-natured haggling to “buy the bride” Ivanna and Joe were united at her family home with all their closest family and friends. They were married in a sweet ceremony at the Queen of Peace Church, and then headed to Karlovac Park for their portraits + reception. The night ended with some classic sparkler shots and dancing, the perfect end to a beautiful day. Scroll all the way down for some romance 💑

Milan + Tanja
Photographing the important milestones for friends is one of the best parts of what I do. Milan and I met six years ago, in residence at the University of Guelph. Since those crazy days in South res, I’ve had the pleasure of celebrating with him for many occasions, including being able to capture Tanja and Milan’s graduation photos together. I was absolutely thrilled when they asked me to be a part of their Canadian wedding celebration as well :)
Milan and Tanja, you bring so much life and joy to your family and friends and their love for you was crystal clear on your wedding day. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life’s milestones and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you as Mr. and Mrs!
Amanda + Sebastian
Today I’m kickstarting my #FridayImInLove series. In an effort to stay on top of my blogging, I’m making a commitment to blog one wedding or engagement session every Friday.
First up, is Amanda + Sebastian’s July wedding.
Amanda and Sebastian’s wedding was by far one of the most fun days of the season! The morning began with the boys, who had a fantastic time singing, dancing and toasting Sebo. Following the beautiful ceremony at the Queen of Peace Church, we headed to Scotsdale Farms. The bridal party was stunning in short and sweet blush dresses, and the groomsmen kept spirits high with their antics.
Amanda and Sebo, congratulations. You two are the sweetest couple and looked absolutely gorgeous all day! Your willingness to go anywhere and your relaxed spirit set a beautiful tone for the day.
Stay tuned next Friday for photos from Milan + Tanja’s wedding!

5 Tips For Better Photography
I’m baaack! After a long hiatus from blogging, I’m finally catching up on editing and sharing lots of my work. I was asked to be a part of the Culture Days celebration with the Brampton Public Library and give a short lesson on photography. Today I’m sharing those tips with you!
1. Remove distractions. This means that if you’re taking a photo of today’s Instagram worthy lunch, clearing away all the clutter like used napkins, keys or whatever else distracts from the focus of your photo.
2. Pick a focal point. What is the story behind your photo? What do you want people to see? Decide on the focal point and lead the viewer’s eyes in to that point.
3. Use the rule of thirds. This is created by dividing the photo in three horizontally and vertically. The rule of thirds says that the most interesting photos are created by placing the focus along these lines or at the intersection between these lines. Your eye is naturally drawn to these points and images are better balanced.
4. Use natural light whenever possible. Everything looks best in natural light. For people, the best time is the Golden Hour; a few minutes of perfect lighting an hour before sunset. If you’re shooting in the bright daylight, try to find areas with open shade to prevent harsh shadows and squinty eyes.
5. Frame your subjects. When taking photos of people, try to use the surroundings to create a naturally occurring frame.
Lastly, have fun! You don’t have to always follow the rules. The best photo is always the one that means something to you.So get out there, and get shooting!

Andrea and Marko | Norval Croatian Wedding
If two people know how to relax and enjoy their wedding day to the fullest, it’s Andrea and Marko. The morning with the groom and his men started with a Croatian band, with whom everyone sang along at the top of their lungs. The smiles and laughs didn’t stop all day, from the sweet ceremony at the Queen of Peace Croatian Center, to the beautiful reception at the Mississauga Convention Center. Surrounded by their family and friends, Andrea and Marko celebrated their love and danced the night away.

Church of Our Lady | Guelph, ON
One of the most notable features of Guelph is the Church of Our Lady. It sits high on a hill in the heart of downtown. The Church’s towers have the highest elevation in Guelph- the city so values its place in determining the structure of the city that bylaws prevent the construction of any building that reach a higher elevation.
Inside, the views are breathtaking, with arched high ceilings and stained glass windows on every wall. The church is filled with natural light and architectural details. On Sundays, the organ at the back accompanied by a well-directed choir fills the Church with the most glorious of Hallelujahs.
This is by far one of the most beautiful Churches I have visited. If you’re ever in Guelph / getting married soon, I highly recommend taking a peek at this beautiful location.
Terrace Banquet Center Reception: Nicole and Kyle
The beauty in this reception took my breath away from the first moment I walked in. From all the gold sequin tables, the sprawling antipasto and prosecco bars, the beautiful flowers and the frames of loved ones who were there in spirit, no detail was overlooked. In lieu of favours, each guest had a place card letting them know that a donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation and The Cancer Society was made in their honour.
The toasts, funny stories and sweet claims to new family were endearing and cheeky. As Dino said it best. “Play, every day if possible...after all, we want grandkids!” The moment that brought a tear to my eye then, and did again as I edited these photos was when their family made a circle around the father/daughter, mother/son for their dance. Family has always been a priority for these two, and the love poured out between them was beyond belief. Part of the entertainment of the night was even provided by Nicole’s cousin Franco who wrote, sang and played a love song just for them. A testament to their giving nature, these two ended their toasts by toasting their Uncle’s birthday. All in all, it was the sweetest celebration for the sweetest couple.
Kleinburg Wedding Ceremony: Kyle + Nicole | The Doctor’s House
Nicole and Kyle are two of the kindest, most genuine and easy-going people I’ve met. This past Saturday, the two got married at The Doctor’s House in the charming little town of Kleinburg , Ontario. The little chapel was filled with friends and family who couldn’t wait to celebrate with the couple, and there were people even spilling out into the foyer and all the way down the stairs. Their ceremony was sweet and emotional, and filled with laughter and tears of happiness. As per tradition, following the vows the couple got to ring the bell, signalling to the town this joyous occasion. The day was kept light and cheerful by the antics of the gorgeous and handsome bridal and groom’s party. I could write pages about these two, but the love that these two have built with each other over the past ten years showed on every face throughout the ceremony, and through all the touching speeches at the reception.
Nicole and Kyle, I am so thankful that you let me be a small part of your beautiful day. Even though I forgot to write a message inside your card, I wish you nothing but happiness and laughter for all the years to come.
