Rosanne & Jamie | Beautiful Summer Liberty Grand Wedding
Rosanne and Jamie’s story is just like a fairy tale. It traced back to grade 5 when they began as classmates and Jamie harbored a secret love for Rosanne. As high school happened, they went their separate ways. Yet fate had brought the two old friends together in adulthood, and they became lovers ever since! We were so lucky to celebrate the blessed couple’s engagement in this romantic shoot. And we are now overjoyed to record their happy memories on their wedding day!
It was a beautiful day, just picture perfect for Rosanne and Jamie’s garden-inspired wedding! The Catholic ceremony took place at St. Joseph Parish. It was a traditional mass interlaced with traditional Filipino rituals. It was beautiful to watch their family and friends rejoice over the union of the lovely couple. After the ceremony, we travelled to Humber Bay Shores to take some photos! This is a meaningful location for the couple – they had their first date by Toronto’s Harbourfront and their sweet proposal at the Humber Bay park! The joy on their faces was ever-sweet as the first day they met. What a lovely couple!
Despite all the Lakeshore traffic and CNE’s first return after 3 years due to COVID, a beautifully decorated reception venue adorned with spring colors awaited the couple at Liberty Grand. As the music played, Rosanne and Jamie enjoyed their first dance whilst romance filled the air. The night was blessed with more prayers, speeches from loved ones, and a lot of love. We were so honored to share the joy with you this day, Rosanne and Jamie. And we wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Paola & Davor & Sophia | Toronto Trillium Park Family Photos
What a beautiful family to photograph!!! Seriously though, I’m like over the moon when I was hanging out with them!
Paola reached out to me earlier this year for a family session when lockdown gets lifted. As soon as we were in Stage 1, we were in communication to plan for their perfect family portraits! We’ve considered lavender fields, sunflower fields, neighbourhood park and we ended up at the Trillium Park with a great blend of the city skyline and greenery space. With COVID19 preventing many people from visiting friends and families across borders, Paola wanted a photo of her family and the city skyline to send as postcards to their families and friends around the world and we did just that! (But don’t let these photos fool you, Trillium Park is a very busy spot and it was never empty like what’s in the photos. Lol)
Sophia was shy at first but quickly warmed up with some of her favourite Disney songs! She started dancing, jumping and exploring the whole park. She loved her liberty to run around and less of smiling at my camera (I don’t blame her, I would too explore this new environment) but we’ve managed to play a game and have her smiling for me. I loved their family interaction; mom and dad would sing along with her and doing the actions. They definitely were a playful family and enjoyed every bit of their time together. Any day, I would document these candid moments again.
Thank you Paola, Davor and Sophia for a great evening that I got to spend with you and capture your family love!
Christine & Tyler & Mia | By the Waters Fun Family Session
We met Christine, Tyler and Mia for the very first time in-person at their family photo session with us and OH EM GEE, they’re like a superstar family! Both Christine and Tyler are so sweet and polite. Christine and I have already been chatting on Instagram prior to our shoot and she is a doll to talk to! She intentionally made a stop to pick a small Thank You gift for us on the way to the session. Tyler was giving parenting tips to Warden in between our photographing time hahaha! ( I wonder when we will get to use them!) Mia is the cutest, she would make friends to everyone that passes by our photoshoot location, whether dogs or people they couldn’t resist to stop and say “Hi” to her! Mia’s smile melted our hearts right away.
We started off the session with Mia a little bit camera shy, but Warden and I acted so silly that she eventually warmed up to us. (Haha good thing only Christine and Tyler got to see it and no one else we really know saw us do that.) Later on, she was able to smile directly at the camera and even danced for us! When we said our good-bye’s at the our cars, Mia started to cry as she saw us walked away towards our car. Christine said she already misses us and she didn’t stop crying until 10 mins later on the road. Awwhhs, we’ve missed them already!
Thank you Christine, Tyler and Mia for having us document your family portraits and spending this lovely evening with us. We can’t wait to continue our friendship with you and capture more memories for your growing family!
Jenny & Aaron | Downtown Toronto Engagement Session
It was an absolute joy to have photographed this engagement session with Jenny & Aaron down the busiest streets of downtown Toronto! We started off at one of our favourite spot in a European-vibe hallway with columns creating the perfect backdrop for our lovely couple. They had so much fun walking up and down laughing with each other. We moved over to the front of St Lawrence Market and waited for the perfect moment after pedestrians and cars have passed. Finally, we’ve arrived at one of Toronto’s most iconic building - the Gooderham Building. It was a very busy spot with lots of traffic so we quickly snapped a few photos and carried on. Our final destination was really tailored for Jenny & Aaron, especially a little foreshadow for their wedding - “After Work is Guinness Time”! If you know, you know! ;) Downtown Toronto is a beautiful city and is surrounded by all sorts of backdrops for photo ops. We love a sweet downtown engagement anytime.
Aaron made our job so easy because he was always so good at making Jenny laugh (the photos can speak for itself). They share one of the best chemistry as a couple. Jenny and Aaron first met back in 2011 at a camp where they both attended. In 2013, this beautiful long distance relationship kick started with text messages and phone calls. With Jenny in Cincinnati and Aaron living in Toronto, video calling brought them closer together and foster their relationship deeper. (Thank goodness for technologies!) After 5 years of long distance, our beloved Jenny has decided to move from one big city to another to be with the love of her life - TORONTO! Fast forward to late 2020, Aaron popped the question and here we are photographing for their engagement!
Thank you for spending an evening with us and have us photograph this lovely downtown Toronto engagement! Oohh, we already started talking about some of the details of the wedding for next year and we are so looking forward to it!
Jenny & Tim | Love By The Waters Engagement
Jenny and Tim shares the most adorable chemistry. Tim always put a smile on Jenny by serenading her with her favourite song - for sure this was the most fun part of the session! They’re both so playful and yet can bring out the romantic side of their relationship when we were by the water with the sunset behind them! Scroll down to see more for yourself!
Ohhh, we can’t wait to photograph these two lovebirds again at their wedding in months time!

DINA & ARIS | City Engagement Sessions
Featuring the engagement session of our lovely downtown power couple, who have trusted us with capturing their engagement photos in the city they love.
We started the session in the heart of the financial district, below the beautiful cityscape tower buildings. We found ourselves in a blend of stone architecture from the past and more modern concrete that made for the perfect fit to set the style of their mood. As we all walked around discovering the beautiful core of the city they grew up in, we knew we had to capture in the foreground the iconic TTC they grew up with, it was pretty neat! Our final destination was at the Liberty Village area where they reside, so where better to end the evening than at the romantic pink walls by the carpet factory with its lovely florals!
