Ottawa Wedding + Newborn Photographers who know what's it like to be awkward in front of the camera
I can hardly believe that is was only a year ago that we headed down to Toronto for a beautiful plugged in wedding at the Hockley Valley Resort.
Teri + Greg’s wedding day was such a dream to photograph. They were absolutely stunning (seriously, they were both knock outs!!), their family and friends were so kind and everything about their day was super fun!
As I mentioned in their sneak peek, Teri is a super kind and down to earth person. When we first starting chatting about her wedding, she let me know that she wanted something as simple as possible. All of that being said, she wanted to make sure it was a great party and let me know that the happiness of her friends and family was one of her top priorities. I love these kinds of weddings because they always turn out to be pretty relaxed (or as relaxed as weddings can get really) and are always super fun!

When Teri asked me to photograph her wedding I was so thrilled. I had known Teri for quite a few years through one of my closest friends and I was certain her wedding was going to be so much fun! She is such a kind and down to earth person, and working with her and Greg has been such a pleasure.

As I mentioned in their sneak peek, I shot Teri + Greg’s engagement session over the Thanksgiving long weekend. We did the majority of the shoot as we strolled along the Toronto Harbourfront but did take a shot or two on Yonge Street before we headed towards the water. It was a rather chilly day, but the warm sun made it quite nice as long, as you stayed out of the shadows.
As anyone who knows me is painfully aware, I am not the biggest fan of Toronto. I go there for work on a semi-regular basis and of course to visit my friends and family who call it and the surrounding area home, but other than that I typically like to stay away. I normally think of it as a rather cold, concrete filled world that doesn’t really have the natural beauty that my home of Ottawa does. All of the being said, Toronto held its own with respect to peaceful beauty during this session and I was very impressed with the harbourfront. I am so glad Teri + Greg wanted to do their shoot there as it gave me a new outlook on the city. We were able to capture images with a more industrial feel to them thanks to the city’s concrete and large buildings, etc. but the majority of the shots showcased the natural side of Toronto and of course, the amazing couple I got to shoot with all afternoon!
Another reason I loved this session was because of all the personal touches. I normally have my couples select their location for the engagement shoot as it tends to make the photos mean more to them in the end, but Teri + Greg really hit the nail on the head with this one. From previous residences and nearby statues to their old running paths. I really enjoyed going through the area with them and hearing all the personal connections to the areas.
I had so much fun during your engagement session guys, and I am really looking forward to your wedding next year!!
Last weekend was Thanksgiving here in Canada and Dave and I spent most of it with our families eating way too much food and having tons of fun. We also spent portions of it with a few awesome clients.
Just before starting our official Thanksgiving, I met up with Teri + Greg for their engagement session along the Toronto Harbourfront. The location was fabulous and the weather was simply gorgeous, though a touch chilly, and to make things even better, Teri + Greg were awesome! Here is a little sneak peek at their session.
Can’t wait for their wedding next year!!
