Maricel & Patrick eSession | McMichael Art Gallery – Kleinburg, ON

Sandra and Cris — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:18:08 +0000

Maricel & Patrick are a super cute couple! They were a little nervous about the engagement session, and a little shy, but that didn’t last long… Engagement sessions are great ice breakers, that’s one the main reasons we encourage them. Planning a wedding can be stressful, and having to worry about your photographer, or how your photos are going to turn out, can drive a couple nuts. An engagement session can be that time when you get to know your photographer, and vice versa. It’s a time for experimenting with looks, especially for the brides, that often get their hair and makeup trials done for engagement photos, new poses, this is usually for the grooms that often feel awkward about posing for photographers, and best of all new locations! Maricel and Patrick wanted their engagement photos done at McMichael Art Gallery, but we had never shot there, so to us it was an awesome opportunity to discover a new location, and since then we have recommended it to other couples. We are very excited to photograph Maricel and Patrick’s wedding coming up in June of this year, and can’t thank them enough for choosing us!

Kassandra & Daniel Wedding | Punta Cana – Dominican Republic

Sandra and Cris — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 04:08:40 +0000

Kassandra and Daniel said their I Do’s in sunny and hot Punta Cana, Dominican Republic! I must admit that destination weddings are awesome, but even more so when at the end of a super busy wedding season! Those of you that follow our blog may recognize some the faces on this post, here’s Kassandra and Daniel’s engagement again, and we have shot Daniel’s sisters wedding, as well as, most recently Daniel’s brother Josh, and his now wife Chantelle. We totally loved Punta Cana, the weather was simply amazing, and we really enjoyed spending some time with this awesome family! Kassandra was simply gorgeous in a stunning Vera Wang gown, that fit her like a glove, and does anyone else think she looks like Ashley Tisdale, just sayin’! Her make up was done by the super talented Aryn Ashley, and I must say, she was WOW! Kassandra and Daniel decided to get married on the beach, even though the resort had a very nice wedding gazebo on the grounds, I think the beach was a better choice. We had so much fun on this trip, and are truly looking forward to the next destination wedding. We really had some fun with them as you’ll see, but my most favourite shot is definitely the last one, we took that one at about midnight, Daniel and Kassandra were exhausted, but I think it was so worth it. Thank you so much to the Zeng family for bringing us along, we are truly blessed to have met you all, and to be able to spend this awesome week with you.

Rita & Mazen eSession | Barrie, ON

Sandra and Cris — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 01:57:13 +0000

We first met Rita and Maz at a bridal show, and instantly hit it off, we talked forever about everything that they had planned. They told us later that, as they walked away they told each other they had just found their photographers : )

Planning a wedding can be stressful, but for Rita and Maz it may have been a little more than most. They were contestants on The Last Bride Standing, so certain parts of planning a wedding were put on hold until the contest was over, just in case they won the big prize; but since they won second prize, which is still AWESOME, they had to get in gear and book all the vendors they had on hold; luckily everything worked out in the end. We had so much fun shooting their engagement session, by far the longest one in bphotographed history, but I’ll let you see for yourself how they turned out. We are super excited for their wedding in October 2012, thanks SO much for having us…

Chantelle & Josh Wedding | Blue Mountain Village, Collingwood, ON

Sandra and Cris — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 22:04:38 +0000

Chantelle and Josh were a pleasure to photograph. We met the Zeng family 3 years ago when we photographed Aryn and Nathan’s wedding, the groom’s sister, and as I’m writing this post we have shot Daniel’s wedding as well! They are a truly awesome family, very genuine people that love life and each other. Chantelle and Josh are super cute together. She was a nervous wreck that day, even though she hid it quite well, and Josh, well if he was nervous he didn’t show it. Marriage is a wonderful God given covenant that should not be taken lightly, and it’s refreshing to see such a young couple that understands the concept so well. Thank you so much Chantelle and Josh for inviting us to share in your very special day, we wish you a lifetime of happiness.

Jenny & Gavin Wedding | Discovery Harbour – Midland, ON

Sandra and Cris — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 21:38:05 +0000

Jenny and Gavin got hitched on a beautiful day in October. Midland is such a pretty town, it reminds of our dating years, when we would go camping to La Fontaine, and drive into to Midland harbour and watch the sunset with an ice cream. It was our first time at Discovery Harbour, and I was truly impressed! It has a lot of history behind it and it makes for a beautiful backdrop. Congratulations to Jenny and Gavin, thank you for having us, and we wish you all the best.

Ashley & Ryan Wedding | Belcroft Estates – Innisfill, ON

Sandra and Cris — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 20:26:45 +0000

We were first introduced to Belcroft Estates in the fall of 2007, while shooting a wedding there, and we instantly fell for it! It’s an awesome array of vintage flair, with the country chic feel of the barn reception venue, and excellent locations for photography. Jim Bell, the owner of Belcroft Estates, is a collector of everything vintage, and he likes to display it, making this an awesome venue if you’re planning a vintage inspired wedding yourself. We met Ashley & Ryan at Christie and Marty’s wedding, that we shot last year; Ashley was the maid of honour and we hit it off immediately, and then we got to meet the whole family at their engagement / family photo session, check it out here again, needless to say we had a blast! Ashley and Ryan said “I DO” on a rainy day in September, but nothing was going to hold them back from enjoying their special day, especially not the rain; the ceremony had to be moved inside; however, I think it added to the country charm… We truly believe that all the little details are what make a day that much more special, and Ashley and Ryan did an awesome job of putting this day together, it was sincerely amazing, look at the images below and you can see for yourself.

Thank you SO much guys for having us and we wish you all the happiness in the world.

Michelle & Daniel Wedding | The Paramount – Vaughan, ON

Sandra and Cris — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 16:54:49 +0000

Michelle and Daniel said “I DO” on a gorgeous sunny day in September, in front of all their family and friends. They didn’t meet in a conventional way, he was actually doing some work in her home, and a job that should have taken only a couple hours, quickly turned into a couple of days! We first met them at a bridal show in Newmarket, and hit it off right away when we started talking about their reception venue… We love The Paramount, by Peter and Paul’s, and we couldn’t wait to be back there again, since it had been a while; and of course, once more they did not disappoint. We had so much fun photographing Michelle and Daniel’s big day. Thank you guys so much for having us, and we wish you all the happiness in the world.

Vicky & Ryan Wedding | Family Farm – Durham, ON

Sandra and Cris — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 02:20:59 +0000

A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of photographing Vicky and Ryan’s wedding. They had their reception at Ryan’s grandfathers barn, which they totally renovated for the special event. Vicky, being a graphic designer, did all the work in terms of design, check out her website here! We were very impressed with Vicky’s attention to detail, and love of everything vintage; they even hung a tree above the dance floor which took Vicky two days, on top of a ladder to decorate. They are clearly a couple that is loved by their family and friends, when the idea of holding the reception in the old barn, everyone told them they were nuts, but Vicky had a vision, and everyone at one time or another pitched in to make it a reality. Congratulations Vicky and Ryan, we wish you all the happiness in the world, and thank you so much for allowing us to partake in your special day!

Daniela & Barry Wedding | The Manor – Kettleby, ON

Sandra and Cris — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 18:22:55 +0000

Daniela and Barry are a super fun couple… We started out with them by shooting an awesome eSession at Canada’s Wonderland, and it has been a roller coaster ride since then, no pun intended : ) Daniela and Barry said I DO, on a gorgeous September day, and were surrounded by their loving family and friends. Cris and I always talk about what will be the most memorable part about our kids weddings one day, will it be the father/daughter dance, or maybe the mother/son dance, or maybe speeches, well both Cris and I agree that the most memorable part will be seeing them for the first time, after their dressed, and ready to get married… Daniela’s dad was a sobbing mess for the whole day; from the moment he saw her coming up the stairs in her wedding gown, the tears started flowing, then giving her away at the ceremony, then again for the father/daughter dance, I’m sure everyone would agree with me that, that is the reason we all LOVE weddings; the emotions, and fond memories of a child growing up and now moving on with her life, with the man she loves, even if he’s not Italian ; ). Weddings hold a special place in our hearts, witnessing two people that love each come together and dedicate their lives to one another, in the presence of all their family, their friends, and God. Wouldn’t trade it for the world…

Congratulations Daniela and Barry, from the bottom of our hearts, we wish you all the happiness in the world, and thank you so much for having us…

Katrina & Ryan Wedding | Cranberry Resort Bear Estates – Collingwood, ON

Sandra and Cris — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 18:59:46 +0000

Hey love, I’ve been thinking about us, and this thing that we’ve got going,

it’s not your friends, it’s not my songs, what we have runs deeper.

Hey love, come talk to me, tell me your dreams,

I wanna know what picks you up, what makes you cry, come open your mind.

That’s fine, we can sit a while, or we can go dancing, dancing love,

I don’t care, as long as we’re together, I’ll be alright, hey love.

You should know that you’re making me much better, you show me who I am inside

I know that this might sound crazy, but you’ve got on a natural high.

And I’m never coming down, I’m never coming down, never coming down.

Let’s get old, let’s settle down, we’ll take drives in the country.

Or stay at home and fool around, baby love it could be so nice, as long as we’re together.

That’s fine we can sit a while, or we can go dancing, dancing love.

I don’t care, as long as we’re together, I’ll be alright, hey love.
