The Best of 2017 ~ Weddings

January 19, 2018

This has been a year full of many new adventures and experiences, both personal and professional – not all have been super positive but they all definitely made us learn something valuable about ourselves as people, creatives, and as business owners. We are so grateful to be doing what we do – to have the freedom to be creative on a daily basis (sure it’s not always easy, but it sure is rewarding and fun!) and to bear witness to some of the most vulnerable and emotional events in people’s lives – We feel humbled that couples trust us to capture their most sacred memories and to immortalize their most precious moments, that truly is an honour! So thank you, to all of our friends and family, to our amazing couples that make what we do possible – we couldn’t have done any of this without your support and your trust! Hugs all around!

PS: Choosing a a limited amount of photos for our “Best Of…” slideshow was probably the most difficult thing we had to do so far in the new year! Please turn up the sound and enjoy!

An East Coast Maternity Session

April 21, 2017

When I got pregnant with little Ms. Vie I had no plans whatsoever to do a formal maternity session, definitely not one we would capture ourselves. But being out on the ocean in the East Coast of Canada, seeing the beautiful clouds rolling in we just couldn’t resist. So I quickly threw on my new Anthropologie dress (really the only one that fit me and looked good on camera), dragged my fingers through my hair, stripped my poor child down to his undies (that session will be blogged later!), and dragged Hugh out onto the rocks with my ever-expanding belly. We had a total of 20 minutes before our lovely moody sky turned down-right mean and was followed by a torrential downpour but it was totally worth it! I can’t get over how amazing the east coast of Canada is, the ocean, the rolling hills, the people, the food (the sea food), the everything – can’t wait to visit this summer again and hopefully take advantage of another beautifully moody day with my camera.

Phil & Steph ~ A Vintage-Inspired Wedding At The Berkeley Church

February 27, 2017

Steph & Phil met on Halloween in 2007. Phil and His friends were hosting a costume party and Steph decided to strike up a conversation with Phil, who was dressed up as a half-naked smurf. They hit it off right away and boy are we sure glad they did!

Although we met Phil and Steph under less hilarious circumstances (Phil was fully dressed this time), they still had us at “hello!” We connected on our mutual experience living in South Korea and our love for Korean BBQ but more importantly we were instantly drawn to both Phil and Steph’s warmth, humour, and their evident love for each other. We were also thrilled to find out that they would be getting married at the Berkley Church, a venue that we absolutely adore for it’s vintage aesthetic and incredible light (completely swoon-worthy!)

To say that their wedding day was amazing is a complete understatement – the day was bright and warm and filled with so much laughter and love that we still grin when we think back on it. Their vows left everyone sniffling and once the dance floor opened-up every single chair remained empty while guests, both young and old-er shook what their momma gave them – so much dancing ensued that the DJ had to make an announcement about taking it easy on the church’s vintage floors – Now that is a party!

Venue: Berkley Church, Invitations: Print & Paper, Flowers: Rose Emporium, Dress: Maggie Sottero, Video: Jeremy Roberts Weddings, DJ: Maximum Music, Suit: Indochino, Make-up: Envy Makeup Art, Hair: CE Bridal, Bridemaid’s Dresses: BHLDN, Barbershop: Hasting’s Barber Shop

Mike & Kerri Post-Wedding Portrait

January 12, 2016

Mike and Kerri are good friends of ours and we were honoured when they asked us to join them in Jamaica to capture their special day (week) in May. Unfortunately because of previous wedding engagements we were unable to attend but offered the lovebirds a post-wedding session in their hometown of Cambridge. We absolutely loved spending time with the two newlyweds walking around their hometown, snapping some photos, and stopping in to one of their favourite juice bars! Mike and Kerry’s energy was absolutely infectious and even despite the heat of the day, these two just loved laughing, kissing, and posing for the cameras!

Engaged ~ Joanna & Andy

September 16, 2015

Just in time for the fall season, we thought that we would share this lovely rustic engagement session. As soon as we met Andy and Joanna we knew wanted to photograph their wedding. The chemistry between them is so evident and so sweet we can’t help but sigh as soon as we see them together. In addition to their affection and love for each other, Andy and Joanna both have an adventurous streak, which we are always attracted to. This became especially clear when the couple suggested scaling high rock walls and stone ridges in order to get just the right shot! We also love the location they chose for their engagement session, a marina that once belonged to Joanna’s grandmother. It’s nestled in Ontario’s beautiful Georgian Bay and offers some spectacular views of rivers, lakes, and of course, the province’s beautiful cottage country…

Engaged ~ Samantha & Tyler

June 17, 2015

On a bright & sunny day we met Samantha and Tyler in Roncesvalles, Toronto to chat about their upcoming wedding and to snap some photos of the blissfully happy couple. Tyler arrived first and we were instantly smitten with his quiet wit and humour, and his genuine adoration for his bride-to-be (he even hand-made Sam a rose bouquet for the session – swoon!) Sam arrived a few minutes later, and we headed around the neighbourhood and to High Park to dodge the millions of eager cherry-blossom enthusiasts. Oblivious to the throngs of people and the heat, Sam and Tyler happily chatted with each other, cuddled, and let us capture some of the love and intimacy that is so evident between them. We are so excited to have met these two, and can’t wait to head to Caledon for their big day in August!

Eddie & Alison

May 12, 2015

We are so excited to share Alison and Eddie’s wedding on our blog (which has also been featured on the Inspired Bride here). We both met Alison and Eddie at a large Toronto Wedding Expo. It was our first time participating as vendors, and we did not know what to expect – we definitely did not expect to meet so many amazing and unique couples, such as Alison and Eddie – The moment these two enter a room you can’t help but fall in love with their energy. They are up for anything and for us, as wedding photographers, this is always an exciting opportunity to try something unique!

The setting of their countryside wedding was perfect: we were able to stop at farmers’ fields, discovered an abandoned old UK telephone booth, and goofed around with pinwheels and sparklers. Eddie and Alison incorporated so many personal touches to their wedding day: their cake (masterfully created by Designer Delights), was forest-themed (not to mention adorable!) The rolling Niagara hillside, the soft dusk light, and all the natural details together provided the perfect backdrop for an amazing day.

Engaged! Virginia & Scott

February 3, 2015

Scott and Virginia had their first date on a rainy February evening at a trendy lounge downtown Toronto in 2012. After hours of talking and sharing a bottle (or two) of wine they quickly realized the many things they had in common, including the same quirky sense of humour…Little would they know that two years later they would be planning an exciting wedding in Muskoka – and are we ever excited to be part of their special day!

Although cottage country is where the wedding will take place, their hometown of Toronto has a special place in both Virginia and Scott’s hearts. Because of this they wanted the engagement photos to reflect some of their favorite places to spend time together. Knowing their penchant for nature and the outdoors we suggested High Park and Sunnyside Beach as the setting for the engagement shoot. They have always been drawn to High Park for its ability to make anyone feel miles outside of the city and the waterfront was also important as they have spent many after-work dates together by the water. So in order to represent this goofy and adorable couple we packed their favourite wine, a few treats and headed outside! The overall vibe of the photo session reflected what they do best — to have fun and laugh together!

Creative: Behind the Scenes

January 5, 2015

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!
