i love love

i got some good news today! the wedding i shot in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic is featured on the home page of Wedding Bells! for all you canadian brides, i'm just as obsessed as you! i had the pleasure of photographing my friend and very first model, Amanda Cann-Youssef and her husband Mark Youssef.  my first roll of film on my slr over 10 years ago was of Amada. she came over to my house in Toronto and sported my white fur coat and posed it up. she was amazing but my first roll was atrocious! we've both come a long way since then. it was such a pleasure to join her on her life journey with 3 adorable daughters, a beautiful marriage and an intimate ceremony in paradise.

and last month this beautiful shoot was also featured in Junebug Weddings

i'd love to shoot more intimate weddings in interesting settings. let's make it happen brides! i'm available everywhere :)

happy love day ♥

love is easy. living together is the hard part. me and the hubs have our highs and lows but that's what growth is about. i love me a challenge and easy is straight boring. our generation suffers from IGS: Instant Gratification Syndrome. we fail to practice patience and endurance. "i'll straight up upgrade and trade you in if you don't get it together". ok sure but how long before that one needs to be traded in...again? i want to throw myself off the 3rd story window at times. living with another person, a different person, with different habits is challenging but i know i need to practice patience, understanding, and tolerance as does the rest of the world. all we really need is love. thank you boo boo for being as crazy as your wife. you're worth the drama :)
