Lita and Dave met though mutual friends…and smart friends they were…all of them got in a cab and left Lita + Dave to make a connection…it worked! Love that story, and I loved spending the morning with them. They are totally into each other…Dave is the jokester…Lita is his more reserved no. 1 fan…together they are perfect!

I had a fantastic time getting to know them, while shooting at the Evergreen Brick Works, a beautiful backdrop!

Adam got the chance to get to know Grimoalda + Ramsay during their engagement session…which was absolutely awesome!

Grimoalda + Ramsay’s wedding day was beautiful, filled with a lovely atmosphere and delish food at Caffino, and surrounded by friends + family. I absolutely adore the reception photos, the whole restaurant just sparkled, and you can see so much love between the newly weds - utter perfection!

The twist in this perfect wedding day…was that this was a wedding reception to celebrate the new couple…but also a farewell…as Grimoalda + Ramsay decided to start this new chapter by moving to sun kissed Portugal. [Love it!] Take a look at their adventure blog here!

Congrats on your marriage…and cheers to a new adventure!

Grim, you are glowing!The gorgeous bride + the handsome groom.I love the details + feel of Caffino.Future heart breaker!The entire reception sparkled.The happy groom + the dashing associate photographer – Adam.

Tanya + Nick are a couple who are sweet beyond words. They are super close with their families, have an awesome group of friends, and are completely head over heels for one another…even with little H keeping them busy!

The highlight of this wedding was the adorable first look between Tanya and the two of the most important men in her life. That being said, we also did some super fun group shots, complete with some mostly very cooperative kids from the wedding party ;o). This, of course, was topped off with an intimate ceremony, a few good drinks, and some incredibly heartfelt speeches.

A perfect spring wedding, if you ask me!

Congratulations Tanya + Nick…Adam and I had a blast capturing your memories.

I went to high school with Christian, he was the cool older brother of one of my classmates. He was always so laid bac, calm, collected, even keeled in high school…I was so excited to meet the girl that captured his heart…Taryn seems to share similar characteristics as Christian…but there is a little fire cracker-ness to her personality…and it’s so obvious Christian adores that.

Their wedding was just the perfect day…with a completely awesome wedding party, including some divas-in-training flower girls, gorgeous weather and well of course a couple that was googly-eyed in looove. [adorable!]

Taryn + Christian, thank you for choosing me to capture your memories, you made my job super easy! It’s always so much fun to shoot weddings where the bride + groom are truly enjoying their day.

Super duper thanks to Robyn for shooting with me…you are just fabulous!

I met Jackie through her sister, Andrea, they are two awesome ladies, and was thrilled when Jackie + John chose me to capture their wedding!

Jackie + John are so good together…for a couple who were a bit nervous before the session, they did a fantastic job of totally letting their guard down and having fun with each other as well as shoot.

I love shooting in High Park, it is such a quintessential part of Toronto culture, awesome for a stroll and of course a beautiful backdrop for some photos.

Jackie + John, I cannot wait until your wedding day…from all the details you have shared with me about the day, I can already tell it will be perfect!

Andrea + Brian are awesome in every way…they are high school sweethearts, foodies, travellers, outdoors-y…and clearly completely into each other!

I photographed Brian’s sisters wedding not too long ago, and cannot wait to photograph theirs…

This Markham park was the perfect setting for a morning photo shoot, with beautiful light and scenery, it was just the ideal day. A bonus – Andrea brought me some absolutely amazing banana muffins to get our morning started on the right foot! What could be better…?

Casa Loma was the grand backdrop for their wedding day, and with all of the lovely whimsical details meticulously planned by Marissa + Jim, the entire day was simply beautiful.

The ceremony took place in the conservatory, surrounded by family and friends they exchanged sweet vows with a few tears and laughter. It was an ideal day for their guests to enjoy the sights as we took some photos…what a grand setting. The reception was perfect…the couples  table for two was super romantic…and a perfect place for Marissa + Jim to take in all of the beautiful words everyone had to share with them.

Super thanks to my super associate who was able to shoot with me…thanks Adam!

Marissa + Jim, I wish you years and years of happy adventures…you were such a pleasure…I am so honoured to work  with clients like you.

This time I am looking for couples who are excited to wear their wedding dress + suit and model for my group for their ‘wedding day’ shoot session in return for some free photos from the eager students. It’s like having your wedding photographed all over again…or a trash the dress session.

You must be available on Sunday March 11  2011 from approx. 11am-2pm in downtown Toronto [indoor location].

If you are interested please email me [ info@avenue-photo.com subject: free wedding shoot] + a quick pic of you as well as a bit of your story…

I look forward to hearing from you.

I got to meet them in person on the day of their engagement session. We had a fantastic time, walking around, chatting and shooting in their old hood [I'm just that cool - using the word hood like it's nobody's business]!

Their wedding day was a perfect early fall day, and the Old Mill backdrop was just the perfect touch.  Susanlooked like a million bucks in her dress, and mile high Badgley Mischka strappy stilletos. Robert was super sleek, and his suit fit him perfectly…one fabulous couple. Susan + Rob opted out for a first look, which I love, what a great day to start their celebration. The ceremony, officiated by someone close to the couple, was intimate and lovely. The reception was filled with great food, smiles and laughter, some amazing speeches…some filmed across the world.

A big thanks to my super duper Associate Adam who was able to shoot with me…we had a blast!

Susan and Robert, thank you for choosing Avenue Photo to be a part of your day.
