In terms of wedding experience, I myself am married so I can relate to you and what it’s like going through the entire process. I’ve also been a groomsman for three very close friends, I’ve attended countless weddings of family and friends as a guest and of course I’ve photographed a lot of weddings. With all of that experience though, I think it helps to bring in a different perspective for you and let you hear from an actual bride.

Below are some great words of advice from Jessica whose wedding I photographed on June 4, 2011.

“Most importantly is to take time to acknowledge what is going on around you, time goes by too fast, and these are those sweet moments you want to treasure for a lifetime. everything from the engagement ring, to dress shopping to the wedding day.

Stay calm, stress free and mostly enjoy every minute of it. You will no doubt stress yourself out about the small things throughout the planning process from, what napkin colour to have to the music played through the night.

But remember, what is most important, is you and your future husband officially beginning your life together as one and the whole wedding day is just to celebrate the joining of the two.

Once your day arrives, you need to take every moment in and you will realize that those months/years you’ve spent planning are minuscule in comparison to the feelings that you have on your wedding day; that the only thing that matters in that moment in time is how happy you are that you are officially someone’s Mrs and you will be spending the entirety of your life together.”

It was very cool fall day for a wedding at the Greystone Golf & Country Club in Milton, and it was one of the most memorable. All of the details from start to finish were amazing and getting to spend the day with Catherine and Jason couldn’t have been more enjoyable.

Here is just a small sample of images from the wedding day and I’ll be posting the slideshow to this wedding soon.

Thanks again to you both for letting me share my vision of your day with you.

Here a few favourite images from a recent Oshawa engagement session with Adriana and Terry. We managed to get out just in time to catch the awesome fall colours and had a great time and so looking forward to their wedding next year. I say next year like it’s so far a way but it will creep up so fast.

Here are a few sample photos from Lisa and Derek’s fall engagement session. I first met them earlier this year and knew right away they would be great to work with as they were both easy going and so into each other. We had a great time out and I’m really looking forward to their wedding next summer.

Here are a few of my favourite photos of Jennifer and Aaron’s recent wedding at the Windermere House in Muskoka. Jen and Aaron actually live in Germany but made the trip back home to have a small intimate wedding with close friends and family, and I’m so glad they did. It was an awesome fall day, a little cool but great to look back on now.

Thankfully these days communicating with couples across the world is much easier thanks to Skype. Even though we didn’t have an engagement session due to the lack of time, I immediately felt comfortable with both of them. The reason for this I think is simple, when you see how the look at each other it says a lot.

I wish you both all the best!

This past weekend I had the chance to be part of Tricia and Mike’s wedding. With weddings in our area you can never be certain of the weather, especially at this time of year and unfortunately it rained – pretty much the entire day. For sure it was disappointing for all but Tricia and Mike we absolutely great to work with and were so positive the entire time.

Thank you to everyone involved who helped make their day a success and thanks again to Tricia and Mike for having me there. I wish you guys all the best and hope you have a great honeymoon! Here are a few of my favourite details and portraits from their day.
