Nottawasaga Inn Resort Spring Wedding: Stephanie & Tyler

On May 22, 2015 I had the honour of documenting a very special day for two incredibly awesome people – Stephanie & Tyler. The couple met through a mutual friend and, of course, Tyler could not help but notice Stephanie’s beauty but it all started with only one talk. The talk that changed their lives forever and made them realize that they would never be able to imagine the lives without each other. Tyler proposed on Christmas Day at family dinner right after Stephanie said Grace before meals. It was a complete surprise to our bride-to-be!

Stephanie was a very thorough bride and planned every major and minor detail far in advance. We shot an early spring engagement session at Humber Bay Park in Toronto last year and just could not wait for the wedding day to come. The anticipation was out of this world! The wedding was huge with over 300 guests invited. The scale of the event still gives me shivers! We started the day at Stephanie's parents where I had the chance to photograph all the sparkly details, including a show stopper bedazzled bridal bouquet, sky high crystal embellished heels and the dress that had an unseen amount of crystal accents and jewels.  

A beautiful outdoor ceremony took place at impressive Nottawasaga Inn Resort in Alliston, Ontario. The wedding venue was simply gorgeous with a variety of shooting locations for couple, family and wedding party portraits. Slightly chilly and windy weather just added extra charm and drama to some of the wedding ceremony photos. Thanks to the Mother Nature you can see Stephanie’s sparkly stunning red-soled shoes in full glory. The ceremony was sweet & concise and definitely made everybody tear up.

The wedding reception was held at Destiny Banquet Hall, Woodbridge, Ontario. The reception venue décor was in two gorgeous colours: white & royal blue (and some bling :) ). The six tier fondant creamy-white wedding cake and the custom hand made cake topper were as unique as Stephanie & Tyler. It would take me pages and pages to go over the things that were absolutely wonderful and heart melting on the day and I’d hope that I was able to tell the story as it unfolded on the wedding day in the video that can be found at the end of the post.

Wishing Stephanie, Tyler & their growing family lots of happiness, joy and laughter! Thank you again for choosing me to photograph your unbelievably sweet and cool wedding day!

 Let’s live, let’s love! “To infinity & beyond”… ;)

Love,

-Eva.

Pine Point Park Apple Blossoms Model Portfolio: Asha, Naima

Right after my 'crowded' experience with cherry blossoms in High Park, Toronto, I decided to take advantage of some of the gorgeous blossoming apple trees in my beloved Pine Point Park, Toronto. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to work with two beautiful models, Asha Carty and Naima Sheikh, and an amazing makeup artist - Alina Faye. I wanted this session to result in very feminine, subtle and slightly soft images, but could not help it but add a little bit of a kick to it with my longtime companion - Westcott Rapid Box 26'' with Canon 600EX-RT in it. The set up really helped me fight some of the tricky patchy shadows and highlights on the models' faces. Additionally, I got to try out an in-camera multiple exposure: really fun 'tool' to work with but surely requires a lot of practice to get a decent result :).

Hope you enjoy the blooms! 

Love,

-Eva.
