Heather and Matt teasers!

I first got to know Heather (or Heath, as many call her) when I began at MAC a few years back. Stunning, delicate, and absolutely hilarious, Heath is a charming girl who models and quotes Stepbrothers all in one go. When Heath approached me to shoot for her wedding, Penny and I were both ecstatic for the opportunity. Matt is scarcely less attractive with his mild personality and everyman skills. He is a gentleman who can build things. What better combo can you have? The pair of them are enchanting, and their wedding was a classy statement. A perfect reflection of themselves of course. Here are a few teasers to whet your appetite for the good things to come!

Tricia and Kelly Teasers!!

This is the first installment of our teasers, which I think is great because people are so stoked to see their photos and they have to wait so long the hype kind of dies down... SO check out Tricia and Kelly, the wedding I just shot on Saturday! Obviously we have had some lovely weddings in the past couple of weeks so we will be posting some teasers of those as well in the next couple of days. In the meantime, grab a cup of tea and relish in my quick selection of a couple formals.

 The calligraphy on the Thank You tag is done by the lovely Justine Ma, who has started her own company called Paper Hearts Studio! You should support local artists, especially when they are so charming and eloquent as my beautiful friend.

 The floral arrangements were done by the amazing Flur on 124 street. The imagination and delicate palette they put together deserves high praise indeed.

 This worked out better than I had even thought. I had no ideas when it comes to editing these. I can't actually think of any way to make them better... Although I'm sure Penny will have some ideas. She is the master when it comes to editing!

 I borrowed this idea from Justine's friend Kelsie who is also an amazing photographer. The cherries were divine and tasted great as well!

 These have just a tiny bit of fill on them with an umbrella and a light at 1/4... but it makes them pop ever so slightly.

 I'm saving the best bike photos for the actual album, but Kelly got a hold of a two-person cruiser. Can props get any better??

Sonu and Christina

Penny and I had been dying to shoot an Indian wedding. They're colorful, dynamic, and it seems like everyone is dancing ALL THE TIME. When Christina and Sonu approached us about shooting their wedding, we practically jump in their laps to get them to choose us. We instantly liked their mild and sunny dispositions, and it made their wedding day a dream ( albeit a loooonnnggg dream... have you ever been to an Indian wedding??) On every level we loved it, and I hope it shows in the photos.

 The photo below was when my flash didn't go off, but I love it for some reason. A technically not-good picture, but it still resonates for me personally.

 The men and their very best Bollywood hands.

 2 ceremonies, both at the River Cree which was tricky to light. No white walls, sculpted ceiling,  huge room, dimly lit and no windows. A challenge, but a good one.

 I was enthused about my staged picnic to say the least... however what you don't see are the HUNDREDS of spiders that spent the afternoon with us. Months later I have finally removed the props from the car, fairly certain the remaining spiders are dead.

 I love Christina's face in this one. "You dip my bracelets in sacred milk and then I must put them on? Sure, why not..."

 In Sonu's family's hotel room all of his aunties sung teasing songs. My favorite was his gung-ho auntie who used the tv stand as a drum!

 Indian ceremony!

 They gave Christina a hard time trying to put on the flower garlands...

 Some of Penny's pics landed without all of the flashes, and the edit she spun on them is quite vintage and magical...

 Now these below are some of my favorite photos we've taken...

 Now this is a dance!
