Estates of Sunnybrook Vaughan Estate | Sasa and Kasia
Hey all! You might remember Sasa and Kasia from their super cute engagement session slideshow
Here’s a little sneak peak from the wedding day! They were married at the Estates of Sunnybrook – Vaughan Estate. So much fun was had, and I’m excited to see what they get up to in the future!
Did a little bit of light painting after dark, too.
Ashgrove Farms Wedding | Stephanie and Trevor
Steph and Trevor were married at Ashgrove Farms in Cambridge / Guelph. Some days you end up with ridiculous amazing light. This was one of those days. Around 7pm the clouds started to clear, and we were left with an erie yellow/orange wash from the sun. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Whistle Bear Wedding | Jess and Craig
What an amazing day! You might remember Jess and Craig from their engagement shoot eariler this year
Their wedding was amazing, and so much fun!
Here’s a little slideshow of highlights from the day:
Distillery District Engagement Photos | Sasa and Kasia
I know a lot of photographers say it, but I’m going to argue them all, and say that I definitely have the best couples in the whole entire world. Sasa and Kasia are world travelers, and probably two of the most interesting people I’ve ever met – and I know I’ve only scratched the surface of who they really are.
Going to start off with a video of 173 of the photos we took over the 54 minutes we were together yesterday afternoon. Taken in the Distillery area of Toronto.
In case you missed the Honk 4 Love reference:
Fermenting Cellar Distillery District Wedding | Brittany and Bryan
Fermenting Cellar in Distillery is one of the best wedding venues in Toronto. Brittany and Bryan had an amazing day, and every detail was perfect. From her Monique Lhuillier wedding gown, to the flowers, to the lighting at Fermenting Cellar, everything was exceptional! They even had a team of artists there to paint the ceremony!
La Hacienda Sarria | Amazing Details | Britt and Brad
Britt and Brad chose my favorite (and I think the best) venue in Kitchener Waterloo for their wedding: La Hacienda Sarria. If you don’t know about it, it’s because well, no contact info really exists on the internet. It’s an amazing venue that spreads via word of mouth (well, Bingemans runs bookings for it now)
Anyways, the entire day was absolutely excellent.
Wrote a Book on Wedding Photography!
Hey all! I decided to do something positive with the time I was spending on airplanes, and in airports this year. I wrote a comprehensive guide of everything that I know about wedding photography.
I really want it to become the #1 startup guide that other photographers say to check out when asked ‘How to get into the industry,’ or any other questions people interested in the wedding photography industry might ask — anything from lenses, to business, to social media.
It’s all about laying the proper groundwork for a business that will make you happy in the future. This book will help you create a business that attracts couples that you really get along with, and have fun with.
Beyond that, it’s about creating your ideal lifestyle, as well as portfolio – and using social media (Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Etc) to help grow your business.

The goal with this book was to write the book that I wish I would have had when I was just getting up and running. I’ve taken a lot of workshops over the past few years, and can easily say that you’ll get way more out of this book for the dollar value than any other workshop or seminar – that I’ve attended at least.

Here’s the retail description:
Social media is changing the face of wedding photography. It’s now even easier to get up and running with a little help from Facebook and Twitter.

Alright – we came across this rake. We had to.
