One of the (many) great things about being photographers is the fact that we get to be super creative in our work while meeting some pretty amazing people along the way. But capturing weddings doesn’t only give us the chance to be social; it also allows us to see incredible hard work and planning come to life. Each wedding has so many imaginative details and unique elements, all of which help us to get our own creative juices flowing and serve as constant inspiration in our own work. Recently all that inspiration was realized when we got together with some incredibly talented and equally as creative individuals to put together an early winter backyard wedding creative. We are so proud of and ecstatic about the results (coming soon) that we wanted to share some fun behind-the-scenes details. A special thanks to all the wonderful ladies involved in this creative: Samantha, Emily, Megan, Michelle, the ladies of Mrs. Bridal Boutique for lending us the stunning dress & our beautiful model, Katie!

…and after a cold long day it’s a wrap!

After a whirlwind few months we’ve finally had a chance to sit down and update our blog, and, as promised, here is a look at one of our most recent engagement shoot we did right here in the city. Carly and Olly are not only adorable (just spend 5 minutes with these guys and you pretty much swoon from the cuteness) but they are also genuine and super fun. Huge fans of the water (they are getting hitched in Mexico) we decided to take them to Sunnyside Beach in the west end of Toronto for a little impromptu picnic. It was touch and go for a little bit as we got rained out for the first half of our session, but these two lovebirds persevered the rain and in the end the sun decided to cooperate and we had a blast! Thanks Olly and Carly for a fantastic morning.

A special thanks to Emily from Material Culture Co. for making and providing us with some beautiful pillows for the shoot. Not only were they lovely to photograph and comfy to sit on, but they also provided great coverage from the sporadic rain.
