Salty and Peppery Go on Vacation!!!...

I was away on vacation mid august and Salty and Peppery decided to come along! They went to such places as NYC where he went to Grand Central, the Brooklyn Bridge and Columbia University and Boston where he was educated at Harvard and caught a game at Fenway! Here are some photos of their escapades!

Wedding number 6…

This was the first wedding of three in august and I can’t wait for the others (they are later on in the month back to back!) I was part of the wedding party this time around and didn’t have an opportunity to take too many photos as a result. The few I did take I was satisfied with but it’s a bit strange being on the other side of the camera. I think I much prefer being behind it ;).

Anyhow, my two good friends were married this past weekend and I can’t seem to stop thinking about how great it was! Here are some photos that I managed to take:

Congrats Christine & James =)

An amazing shot...

I perusing the blogesphere and came across this. It's an amazing capture of an Escher painting caught in a drop of water. There are several "easier" approaches at doing something of that nature, however the effort put in by this photographer really is impressive.

Wedding #5 …

Lewis & Gloria. What can I say, perhaps the most interesting of proposals I’ve ever heard (unbeknownst to either until the next day), and a super jolly couple well suited for one another. I’ve known these two friends for several years and watched the grow and develop and it was great being able to attend their wedding.

The ceremony took place at Toronto Korean Yum-Kwang Presbyterian Church in markham. Filled with tall ceilings and a large stage, the couple were announced man and wife to a large gathering of friends and family. We then went to Ambassador Chinese Cuisine to feast on a multiple course Chinese meal and play with tiny lego men and women as they were the party favour for the evening (lewis is a big lego man… pun not intended ).

Both were glowing as the games and festivities took place, lewis going around to the next couples this year saying “you’re next” with such joy. The night ended later than expected (signs of a great party) but what a night it was. Here are a few shots of the wedding.

Congrats Lewis & Gloria!!!

The next weekend is this weekend. I’m part of the wedding party so I won’t have as many photos but hopefully I’ll be able to sneak a photo or three ;)

Nelson & Winnie 2011

I had the pleasure of shooting Nelson & Winnie’s wedding a few weeks ago with a friend of mine (he uses Pentax but he is forgiven ;) ). It was a beautiful day in the GTA for a wedding. Very few clouds in the sky, moderate temperatures and best of all a cool breeze coming from the west!

I first met Nelson 4-5 years ago when I first began playing ultimate and learned a lot being just a beginner! Our paths crossed again at a common friends wedding earlier this year and was asked to photograph his upcoming wedding. He and Winnie are avid ultimate players and I was hoping to capture that in some shots throughout the day.

The bridal preparations started in the morning and the house was a buzz with activity from that point on as many family members came to celebrate with a morning tea ceremony in addition to the afternoon tea ceremony! A short walk through the park and then onto the ceremony for a wonderful event filled with friends and family. A unique twist to the evening was that Nelson enjoys puns, and every so often someone would come up to the mic and make a “punny joke” in order to encourage the bride and groom to kiss. Truly a unique moment filled with hilarity.

Here are a few shots from their wedding. Congrats you two!!
