Cathy + Tony • Humber Bay Bridge, Toronto • Toronto Lifestyle Photography

I know, I know, my blog posts are overdue...I'm giving myself a lecture as I'm blogging...this summer has been the busiest one yet, with work + life...I'm working on updating my website and creating a completely new blog, while shooting weddings and teaching a wedding photography course...and trying to get in a little time with my husband...we did find some time to paint the garage door, definitely an improvement and worth the $34 for the can of paint...I will post some photos of our new digs...just add it to my to do list!

Cathy + Tony's engagement shoot was all about this fantastic couple, with apparent chemistry and do I even need to add, they are stunning together...and total naturals in front of the camera...combine that with the beautiful, warm light of a sunset...and below are the results...dreamy!

Congrats Cathy + Tony, I cannot wait to share your wedding photos with you!

[P.S. Cathy's make up was flawless, Olivia made my job so easy and Cathy looked perfect! Ladies if you are in search of a great make up artist, contact Olivia!]

Anna + Steven • The Royalton, Vaughan • Toronto Wedding Photography

This wedding day started off a little off...for me at least, I forgot my entire purse at home including my wallet [driver's licence] and cell phone...I know two must haves...so as I got to Anna's parents house...I was thinking...hmm what else will not go my way today...As I finished shooting, I realized the day went perfectly, from the gorgeous bride and groom to their awesome friends and family to the beautiful weather that accompanied us all day long...it was a perfect day!

I fell in love with Anna + Steven the first day I met them, they were easy going and we just clicked, I loved all of the details of their wedding...from the first look to their laughter at the reception and everything in between... Congratulations you two!

Anna's shoes were beautiful...a little retro a lot elegant....


Gorgeous invites...my contribution was the chandelier graphic.


The Bride's gown was stunning...raw silk...and completely different...Anna was a glamorous mix of old Hollywood [hair and makeup] plus this gorgeous contemporary gown, what a fantastic combo.
Aaaah a photographer in training.

The guys looked so sharp. Steve's got some great friends, there were so much fun.
Love, love, love!

The first look, it always melts my heart...
Anna was one happy gal with a blingy Swarovski bracelet on her wrist...what a way to complete a bridal outfit...great job Steven [total brownie points]!
Stunning...



One of my faves from the day, I love the intensity of their look.




Ok so I had a lot of favourite images from their day, this is another...



Look at the texture in that dress...fabulous!








Aaaw, the groom's sister was a little teary eyed during the ceremony, so much love in that room.







Some shots from the totally hilarious speeches...I mean hold-your-belly-laughing hilarious.


Of course not everyone was completely into the talking...who needs a wedding when you have video games...


Beautiful work Fantasy Gemart...as always.
