Over 825 weddings in 19+ years, including 69 as of Nov 30 2009…Congrats! I love you all and I will state on record that brides are my favourite clients!
Each bride is so unique yet exudes that same balance of passion, radiance, nervousness, excitement and happiness on her wedding day as she embarks on a new chapter. How beautifully a photographer’s lens captures her precious memories forever!!
This wedding picture of the exquisite Laura always takes my breath away! Does it yours?

Something Blue signifies loyalty, purity and faithfulness. Typically brides incorporate blue in their wedding outfit, décor or flowers; however I simple adore how the stunning Sarah added ‘blue’ to the beautiful dresses she chose for her bridesmaids! And can you believe it that all the girls have blue eyes? Wow eh? Credits> Photography: Michelle Quance. Venue: Toronto Hunt Club. Makeup: FacesByCarla

We had the privilege to be involved with Queen St. Unmasked again this year, a fundraiser for the Center of Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). This year’s event was a huge success and raised nearly $600,000 for the CAMH Redevelopment project. We were responsible for adding glamour and excitement for the client’s event by creating event theme looks on each of our 8 models who helped sell raffle tickets ($18 K) and foster CAMH awareness to event attendees.

My colleague Michelle was looking for creative shots for her website and marketing collateral, and came up with the Sex In The City inspired theme that we brought to life!
