Married – Rosie & Harkie

William — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 08:59:33 +0000

It was a fabulous three days of shooting jam-packed events, beautiful colours, and a great looking couple. The two things I really enjoyed about this wedding – making extensive use of lighting to really make things pop, and the impromptu stop at Hy’s for a martini just before making the grand entrance at the reception. Congrats Rosie & Harkie! A very small handful from the many great shots from your wedding:

Married – Dilpreet & Sanjot

William — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 07:06:40 +0000

Continuing to catch up on my big pile of editing, here is a sneak peek into Dilpreet & Sanjot’s reception in Winnipeg. As always, the colours at East Indian weddings are wonderful and in this regard, Dil and Sanj’s evening was particularly vibrant. Sanjot was the very picture of elegance, while Dil was the man of the hour surrounded by his posse of boys. Some faves from the evening:

Married – Danielle & James

William — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 16:27:40 +0000

We always felt a great connection with Danielle & James – the whole Asian/Caucasian thing… the shared love of frisbee… getting married on my birthday. So as expected, we had a super easy and fun day working with them. Throw in a beautiful summer day, a gorgeous church out in Lorette, a couple of frisbees, a custom-made photo booth backdrop, a radiant bride, and a groom all spiffed up in his air force stripes… it was pretty hard not to get great pictures. Congrats Danielle & James!

Engagement – Rosie & Harkie

William — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 17:27:10 +0000

Engaged and soon to be married, this is Rosie and Harkie. The weather was having a hard time deciding what it wanted to be that day, so we got a little bit of everything – rain showers, sun showers, big clouds, bright blue skies. It was fun nipping in and out of buildings in the Exchange to avoid the rain, and then getting that little burst of sun at the end of the shoot. Looking forward to shooting their wedding this weekend!

Married – Amanda & Martin

William — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 16:21:42 +0000

Halfway finished our move, nearly back up and running again, and trying to catch up on some much needed editing and blogging.

Amanda and Martin’s wedding had some of the widest range of backdrops I can possibly imagine: from street shots in the Exchange, to the literal old school look of Balmoral Hall, to the green of the Leo Mol Gardens, to the quite unexpected but tremendously fun shots in the boxing ring. Everywhere we went we had great light to work with, and Martin and Amanda were fantastically obliging with all the different shots I wanted to do. Lots and lots of cool photos, with just a handful here as a sneak peek:

Married – Liza & Darwin

William — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 23:45:55 +0000

It was a fabulous day shooting with Liza and Darwin – it’s hard not to enjoy working with people who are just so warm hearted. It also didn’t hurt that I got to shoot at the Graffiti Gallery and the Millennium Library, two places that I don’t get to very often. With Liza being a graphic designer by trade, I knew all the details were going to be top notch and I wasn’t disappointed – the great colour harmony, the matching parasols, the designer chocolates, and the super cool cake standing out for me. It was a beautiful day with two genuinely beautiful people. A handful of faves:

Married – Amanda & Dwayne

William — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 07:49:33 +0000

This was the second time this summer, third time in all, that I had the privilege of working with the Chenier family as Dwayne married the beautiful Amanda. I always appreciate how much this group of people make me feel like I’m part of the family. This wedding was just full of little details and moments that stood out – the hilarious hunting down of champagne glasses for the bridesmaids; the groomsman’s bag of beef jerky that was such a huge hit with everyone; little Jackson adding his own little moments to his parents’ wedding; the light rain shower that capped off the ceremony; shooting the formals amidst the many patrons and cool backdrops of the Earls restaurant; the fantastic decor and momentous entrance of the couple to the reception. Between the expressions and the settings, it was a treat of a day to shoot. Here are some of my faves:

Married – Anupa & Vishal

William — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 06:41:26 +0000

Another wonderful East Indian wedding bursting with colour, expressions, and emotions. On this gloriously hot and sunny summer day, Anupa and Vishal were splendid in all their attire, their easy smiles never far from their faces as they were happily in the thick of all the celebrations. A few of my faves from the day:

Married – Reena & Satnam

William — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 15:03:03 +0000

Wow: 5 days of events + 2 separate ceremonies + 600 guests + 2 lovely families + 1 beautiful couple + over 2,000 photos = Reena & Satnam’s wedding. It was a thrilling and wonderful week of shooting, with each day bringing something new and exciting. Congratulations Reena and Satnam and thanks for letting me be part of your amazing celebration! A small handful of pictures hardly does justice to all the colours, expressions, emotions, and wonder of the 5 days, but here’s a quick sneak peek – I think the rest of the pictures will be worth the wait.

Just married – Dale & Stephanie

William — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 21:28:59 +0000

My first reaction to seeing all the fabulous Oriental decor at Dale and Stephanie’s wedding was one of appreciation – they did a fabulous job of decorating their home and wedding in an Asian theme. My second reaction was one of irony, as here I was shooting the wedding of two Caucasians who were way more Asian than I am!

This happened to be the second Petsche family wedding I had the pleasure of shooting: I actually first met met Dale and Stephanie when they were in the bridal party of her brother’s wedding (Stephen & Noella). Fast forward a few years and now we have Stephanie and Dale up front at the altar, and Noella and Stephen in the entourage with their three beautiful junior bridesmaid daughters (wow have they grown!) It was great to see the families again who were as warm and welcoming as ever, and I look forward to a few weeks from now when I get to work with the families again!

A sneak peek into the day:
