From the second I arrived, I was greeted with nothing but the biggest smiles.  It was a beautiful sunny day and everyone was so relaxed and eagerly awaiting the festivities.  I’m glad they took it easy and saved their energy in the morning because it ended up being one heck of a crazy party.

Thinking back to our engagement shoot, I realized right off the bat how great Kimberly & Benji (sorry, I just like calling him that) really were.  Having these lovely high school sweethearts as my clients only made the pictures better.  It was the way they looked at each other.  What I love about this job* more then anything is that this night it becomes real, this night emotions are the highest.  Having the opportunity to capture these priceless moments that will be relived for years, means the world me.

Huge shout outs go to the bridal party, who kept the party going all night.  My main man Lew from Engaging Images.  Adam from Dreamvision, always a pleasure to work with you.  Marsha Baker from Cherry & Baker event planners, who always makes sure the day goes by without a hitch.  The always great crew from The Warehouse, which always looks phenomenal, love this venue! last but not least the brand spanking new Menchies Yogurt Shop on York Mills.  They were kind enough to let us take some super fun pictures even before they were open the public.  They open tomorrow and I wish them nothing but the best! drop by say Hi and have some delicious frozen yogurt.

Thanks always for coming by and taking a peak,

Cheers,
