Ashley & Peter {Newmarket Wedding Photographer}

Ashley & Peter flew all the way from Yellowknife to celebrate their dream wedding with friends and family on New Years Eve.  They, along with their bridal party and families were absolutely amazing for withstanding the cold winter temperatures and getting some beautiful outdoor photos.  The guys even had a snowball fight while they waited for the girls to arrive!

What an amazing way to ring in the New Year! We wish you all the best!

I had to add all the photos of our credit in the magazine! We don’t advertise YET with Elegant weddings, so we only got a small credit on the photos.

Katie & Yanis {Horseshoe Valley Resort Wedding Photographer}

Horseshoe Resort is a familiar place to many Ontario families, especially those in the GTA who love their winter sports.  Until last year when I met with Katie & Yanis, Amy and I both thought of Horseshoe as a Resort for winter activities and golfing in the summer; neither of us realized that they had started opening up their facilities to weddings!  I am so happy that we had the chance to shoot a full wedding from ceremony to reception at this beautiful little gem just north of the city.  Horseshoe seemed to cater to all of their needs from accommodations for their guests, shuttle buses to and from the ceremony, they gave us suggestions for beautiful locations for the formal portrait sessions, and they put on one heck of a party at the reception.  All in all in was a perfect day!

Congratulations Katie and Yanis! We wish you all the best in the years to come!

Nicole & Ian {Milton Wedding Photographer}

It really was the PERFECT fall day for Nicole & Ian’s beautiful fall wedding! Ok so it was incredibly chilly for October but the sky and the clouds and the colours were all too perfect to mind the cold!   The Rattle Snake Point Golf Club in Milton offered such an amazing backdrop both outside for the short session we dragged Nicole & Ian out for — they were definitely troopers standing in the cold windy field! — but also inside in their very chic lounge where the girls got dressed and we did the bridal party photos in.  Rachel A. Clingen was responsible as well for their beautiful floral and wedding bouquets! We always look forward to working with Rachel no matter how big or small a part she plays in the decor because no matter what her work is always breathtaking!

Congratulations Nicole & Ian! We wish you a life time of happiness together!
