Toronto Centre Island Engagement Photos// Alysha + Malcolm

Right in time before Alysha and Malcolm's downtown wedding coming up this Saturday, I wanted to share some photos from these lovebirds' e-session on Toronto Islands. Alysha and Malcolm were both nurses, they met at work, and the rest was history. The two showed a strong bond. I thought it'd be fantastic to show their calm personalities and their subtle chemistry in these engagement pictures. It played out to be just that kind of day on Centre Island. Quiet. Overcast. Peaceful. We had a fun time walking around the island and capturing frames here and there. I still remembered when Alysha first approached me she mentioned that Malcolm hates to be the centre of attention and might be shy in front of the camera. I found the pictures turned out perfect. I look forward to documenting more natural, beautiful moments on their special day. 

xoxo,

Royal Ambassador Wedding Photos | Jessica + Peter | Caledon Peel Wedding Photographers

I see skies of blue and clouds of white. The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night. And I think to myself what a wonderful world. - "What a Wonderful World"

It was a fun day shooting alongside with Mario of Avangard Photography at the Royal Ambassador for Jessica and Peter's special day. The drive up to Caledon was amazing and relaxing with country scenic. Set the mood just right for a beautiful wedding day. The weather was definitely cooperating with lots of sun and some clouds. I love clouds. Everything became part of the decoration for this lovely couple's outdoor wedding ceremony. Lot's of nature beauties. Jessica and Peter were super fun to work with and their bridal party was hilarious. The day went by so fast that it really didn't feel like a work day at all. Or, this is how works really should be.

This day, lots of good memories made tangible.

Toronto Engagement Photo Locations | Nathalie + Alex | Kensington Market

"Ally shot our wedding and engagement and did a remarkable job. She's a talented photographer with a real knack for catching the moments when they occur and documenting events in a natural manner. Neither of us are great or comfortable with posed pictures but Ally put us at ease, rolled with our unconventional wedding and really represented us and our event in all her work, engagement shoot and wedding shoot. We cannot recommend her enough...she truly is one of Toronto's most talented wedding photographers and will surely gain the fame to match her talent in the near future! Get her if you can!" 

Thank you Natalie and Alex for leaving me such a sweet review on Google. Click to see their unconventional wedding.

From the get go, Nathalie and Alex warned me that they were unconventional and so would be their wedding. "That's perfect", I responded. 

Together, Nathalie and Alex made a super cool couple with distinct personalities and an open attitude to life. In this Spring morning, we started the engagement session at their home and moved our way to Kensington Market, one of their favourite places to hang out on the weekends. The neighbourhood was perfect for the couple. From the lively graffiti alleys to fashion district, from the crowded Chinatown to the multicultural Kensington Market, it's at the heart of Toronto and fully represented the city's openness to diversity.

I had a lot of fun documenting a typical weekend morning for Nathalie and Alex. I can't wait to see them again in their wedding and continue the illustration of their intimate love story with more photographs from the special day. 

Winter Engagement Photos | Jessica + Kelvin | Mill Pond Park

"You can't stop loving or wanting to love because when it's right it's the best thing in the world. When you're in a relationship and it's good, even if nothing else in your life is right, you feel like your whole world is complete." - Keith Sweat 

Jessica and Kelvin contacted me right away after seeing the photos from the e-session I photographed for Leayen and Anthony. Jessica and Kelvin rewarded me the opportunity to document their wedding story the first time we briefly met. Jessica and Kelvin have some fun travel photos on Facebook and some of those places they've been to get me excited and some make me jealous.

In my mind, we are deemed to have fun together working on their engagement and wedding photos.

We waited and waited for some beautiful snow and finally met on this perfect winter day to shoot their engagement photos in Mill Pond Park. The couple wanted some nature engagement photos. To add to the fun, we also had an outdoor skating rink and a small winter festival happening.

It's a -10°c photo day with a lot of snow, laughters, kisses and lovely moments. Stay warm and enjoy the photos!

Wait, there's more.

We wouldn't let this day ended without an additional touch of fun. Here's the episode.

-THE END-

Indian Wedding Photography Toronto | Adella & Tim

"I have looked into your eyes with my eyes. I have put my heart near your heart." -Pope John XXIII

I am very glad that as a wedding photographer in Toronto, we get to expose to weddings in different forms, with different traditions and rituals, yet celebrate the same love and promises between two individuals. It's eye-opening to see the different paths and means people take to harvest the same blessing in life - the blessing of uniting with someone we love. Adella and Tim celebrated their love in a traditional indian wedding on a summery day. The day was full of colours. Toronto is full of colours and love.
