With TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) going on at the heart of Toronto, the streets were bustling with people even late at night. In the midst of all the traffic, a moment was shared between our couple Krystal and Mark. The night time cityscape, with the CN tower in the distance, provided for a perfect romantic background. In order to capture this image, enough ambient light had to be gathered through the lens. 35mm f1.4 prime lens was the perfect choice for this shot. The prime lens was used in conjunction with off camera flash behind the couple to create the silhouette.
Who doesn't love a beautiful sunset! I invited Helen & John out just after their first dance - perfect timing as it gave them the ideal moment to cool off and take some time in together. I saw the most sensational sky peeking between 2 trees and immediately knew how my picture would go down. Helen & John have a legitimate soulful connection, and all that was required was to put them together in the same spot - the rest as they say 'is history'. This is the moment just before they kissed - a moment that will stay with me for a long time.
When Sam and Charlie announced that they wanted to stop by at the local scrap yard for a few more photos on the way to reception, I was thrilled. Something a bit different. Charlie is a mechanic and they both love cars, so this was a perfect spot for their wedding photos. It was on a cool winter's evening on the North Island of New Zealand. I love the gloomy sky and gritty background of the photo, completely in contrast with their tender kiss.
What can I say ..
What a fantastic day Amie & Gavin had, I feel so lucky they chose me to spend the wedding day in Cuba with them.
It was the hottest day so what a perfect way to end the day with a dip in the warm sea to cool off. Just amazing!
We were photographing Sarah + Mark for their pre wedding photo shoot. They asked if we could head to their favourite beach. It was a gorgeous afternoon, but the sky was pristine clear. Our couple were hoping for some clouds and a beautiful sunset. The sunset wasn’t too special so after a couple of shots we headed back to the car park. When we turned around there was an amazing glow in the sky, we quickly set up a couple of flashes on the ground behind our couple for some backlighting, had them stand under a little tree and captured this image. Our couple were so happy with this last shot we captured - and, so were we!
We decided to climb a mountain to see the world better and take pictures during the sunset. So we hiked to the Plomb du Cantal, Central France, and stood in the chilly wind, with an amazing mountain view, and watched the sun set in the clouds.
We - SAID - YES
This image was shot in DUBAI, the couple flew down all the way from INDIA to Dubai to get this shoot done from me.
It was pleasure shooting for them :-)
Walking through the beautiful lush grass in the park, I told them to hold hands and feel comfortable. She said we love holding hands, its one of our favorite things to do. So I captured the very things they love most.
This wedding took place in beautiful Moon Lake Saskatchewan and the couple decided to bring a canoe for some bride & groom photos! This photo did not come without it's challenges as balancing in the canoe was often difficult! I love that we did these shots and we have some great stories and memories about what it took to get this image!
This was the last whot taken during Anne and Pierre-Louis's wedding. They were on the dancefloor, at 2 in the morning, and as I left I realized how beautiful the sky was. I ran to them and explained how cool it would look to have a picture under the milky way. They stopped their dancing and ran under the stars with me. We listened to the grillons and watched the shooting stars. It was magical.
This was shot at Church and State Vineyards in Victoria, BC. This is a great venue!! It was a nice clear night, and I wanted to backlight the newlyweds showing the vineyard and night sky.
This picture was taken in Heilo, Netherlands
This couple does to rock and roll and that she wanted to show back in their reportage. We went to the salvation primeval forest and looked a nice open area where they did various elements of rock and roll for the report
This picture perfectly captures the most amazing day of our lives. On this special day we gave our hands and hearts to each other and we hope that the future ahead of us is as bright as the golden fields of Wittem.
This photograph is actually really simple and I just used a single speedlight to the light the couple. The venue is very dark so the biggest challenge was exposing for the lights and then lighting the couple. This meant everything else went very dark, which I really like.
This photo was without pretense, was a play on the couple and that went very well! The groom was tennis and this not part of the costume, rsrrss.
This photo was taken, with a lovely couple, a lovely view , and when they put their hands on the ass of each others , Soooo funny !!
This photo was taken on the estate Waterland where the couple held their ceremony outside on the beautiful estate. After the ceremony we went out with the beautiful Ford Mustang to Beck Steijn and it made a wonderful report on the hedge and the ponds in the lovely evening sun

This photo was taken from the top floor of the hotel, looking down on the bride as she made her way down the stairs to the wedding ceremony. The idea was to create perfect symmetry within the frame.
This photo was taken at Valentina & Daniel's wedding in an Italian castle located in Lake Maggiore, which was their wedding venue. As soon as we arrived, we were having a cocktail party just outside this door. As soon as I saw this amazing golden light I asked them to briefly stop in the middle of the doorframe and I took this photo. This is my favorite portrait from their wedding! Such gorgeous light & architecture!
