• Welcome!

    I'm a Toronto-based wedding and portrait photographer. My passion for photography has been with me since high school, where I was often mistaken for the yearbook photographer because I carried my camera with me almost daily. 

    While wedding photography in Toronto is very competitive, I truly believe we all bring different combinations of skill, talent and an eye for composition. The difference between us wedding photographers is our unique style, and if you are here it's probably because you have noticed my own approach to covering that special day. Please take a look through my engagement and wedding photography portfolios and let your imagination fly. 

    I hope you enjoy your journey through this blog, and I truly hope you'll be compelled to book an appointment when you are done. 

Toronto Portrait Photographer: Portrait Session at High Park in Toronto

Saturday, July 24, 2010

This past Thursday, I had the privilege of photographing Amber a for private portrait session. What seemed like a doomed photo shoot due to an impending thunderstorm warning, turned into a great session with quite a few great images. Best of all, the weather held off until we left the park. The part that was not so much fun was dragging around Kata Bag with two studio strobes, a battery, and enough accessories to setup a mini studio on location. Was it worth it? Oh yeah!

Toronto Wedding Photographer: Michael and Sabrina’s Engagement Session

Wednesday, July 21, 2010

Last night I had the pleasure of photographing Sabrina and Michael’s engagement session. In reality, it was more of a very long walk with photography thrown in for fun. I’m still a bit tired and sore from carrying my backpack to full capacity, but the real trooper of the night was Sabrina, who despite the high heels she was wearing she walked all the way from the Distillery District to the Harbourfront near Rogers Centre and still managed to show a great smile for the camera. I should also point out that my lucky streak avoiding security guards came to an end yesterday, as we were kicked out of the Distillery, as well as Union Station even though we hadn’t even gone in and we also had a security guard follow us around the Skywalk. Michael, Sabrina, it was a pleasure working with you both and I hope you like the collection you’ll see displayed here. I’m really looking forward to your wedding day!

Toronto Wedding Photographer: Arowhon Pines as a Wedding Venue

Tuesday, July 20, 2010

On the weekend of July 10, my wife and I went up north to Arowhon Pines to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. We came to know about this resort because last year we had come up with my wife’s parents and brother in-law to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. Located inside Algonquin Park, the resort offers peace and serenity that you just can’t find in a Caribbean destination. Don’t get me wrong, I love an all-inclusive resort close to the beach as much as the next person but if you want something different, then Arowhon Pines is pretty much it. Enjoy some pictures from our stress-free weekend there, and let me know if you want me to cover your big day at that beautiful location.

Toronto Street Photography: Cultura at Mel Lastman Square – Week 3

Last night I missed the 4th installment of Cultura at Mel Lastman Square so I thought I’d post images from last Friday’s event. The entertainment was plentiful again and so was the food. Have a great weekend!

Toronto Wedding Photographer: Jack and Helen’s Engagement Session

Wednesday, July 7, 2010

What a great way to finish the weekend, an engagement session for Jack and Helen around some great spots in the downtown core. The Pride Parade had just finished, and tourists were still walking down Yonge street taking in the sights. At around 6:30pm, our afternoon was just getting started and we began our journey at Jack and Helen’s old hang out, Brookfield place. Lady luck was with us, as we were able to get quite a few shots done before security showed up and asked me put away my “professional” equipment. Apparently, you can take pictures inside Brookfield Place, as long as you are not using professional equipment for commercial purposes. Here are some images from our trip around some very recognizable spots near the waterfront. Enjoy!
