Toronto Wedding Photography

Formula to a successful “trash the dress” session…

(Us to Bride and Groom)

“Can you guys wake up at 4am after the long day?”   “YES!!”

“Can your dress and shirt get wet and dirty?”  “YES!!”

“Can we have more than just fun?”  “YES!!!”

Three “YESes” and these pictures are born.  Chrizuru and Shachin are truly an amazing couple, they will do whatever it takes to get the pictures done.  We have a feeling they both have a secret job of doing professional modeling. 

Nonetheless, we had yet another super fun session.  Oh, and if you haven’t noticed… we got into the water for some of the shots too… we all got wet that morning! 

I would like to thank Chizuru and Shachin once again for giving us such a great time!!  Looking forward to their wedding in Toronto in October!

WOW… what a trip!!!  Where do I begin??  I can’t really call this a wedding after the day, it was more than that, it was truely an experience of the culture.

When we shoot Chizuru and Shachin’s engagement back in May this year, I recall we had more fun than they did (and they had tons of fun!).  We were all hyped up about their Japan wedding knowing this couple will definitely do something special there.  We were shocked with what they had arranged for their wedding day!  There was the traditional Japanese crememony at the shrine, the special entertainment brought on by the groom’s friends (all the way from Toronto!), and the beer shower!!  And on top of all this, we woke up at 4:00AM the next day, went to the beach and did a trash the dress session!!

“Someone is looking down upon us.”  That’s what the mother of the bride said to me after the ceremony.  It was forecasted to rain on Saturday and at the end, we only had a few drops of rain.  Jayme and Robin had set their wedding to take place at Robin’s family estate, which is a farm located in Alliston.  They had wished for their wedding ceremony to take place in front of their house where they sat a pair of musicians on the side of the porch.   Everything went well on the day off, except the weather forecast wasn’t co-operating.  But at the end, we had a beautiful sun almost the entire time till the end of it.  Their wedding was done in a very relaxed manner.  The food served was great.  We took alot of candid shots.  I was impressed with all the work they had put through for the event, with so few people involved.  We had lots of memorable pictures, and I have quite a few bug bites… LOL.

June 7th 2008

At the time we started shooting, I knew it will be a tricky day.  Why?  Because it was hot and humid with the heat wave hitting Toronto that weekend.  Nonetheless, we are professionals, so we see the challenge and we figure out a way to overcome it.  Big part of the day went ok, it was the park that I worried about  Since it was hot and humid, my experience tells me that Bride and Groom won’t last more than 30 minutes out in the sun (especially Richmond Green where there is rarely any areas with shade).  So I suggest to Erica and Andrew, we can take more shots inside your house and we will go to the park after.  They thought it was a great idea.  We had a fantastic time at their comfortable home, they were relaxed, everyone is happy staying indoor with the A/C.  LOL.  We headed out to the park for some outdoor group shots and a few portraits, then we head to the reception and close the day off there.   The day went by so quick I didn’t even recall there is a heat wave at all.
