Estates of Sunnybrook Vaughan Estate | Sasa and Kasia

Taylor Jackson — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:50:02 +0000

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.

Distillery District Engagement Photos | Sasa and Kasia

Taylor Jackson — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 14:57:39 +0000

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.

Fermenting Cellar Distillery District Wedding | Brittany and Bryan

Taylor Jackson — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 01:58:24 +0000

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!

Liberty Grand Wedding | Fuscia Designs | The Caketress

Taylor Jackson — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 15:01:24 +0000

I headed down to the Liberty Grand at 25 British Columbia Rd in Toronto to help out on a cake delivery with The Caketress. Delivering a cake is harder than you think. Trust me on that one. Actually, the entire process from concept, to creation, to putting the final details on takes way way longer than anyone expects.

The gold you see on there is 24 carat gold painted on with vanilla vodka.

Fuscia Designs was there putting the final touches on the Centennial Room, and I said I’d snap a few photos of their creations!

The French macaroons you see were favors provided by The Caketress that I may or may not have helped package until about 4am the Saturday night before. That was after shooting a wedding, and waking up strangely early to do so. That’s how you get a fresh product.

Carlu Wedding Toronto | Christina and Tyler | St. Michaels Cathedral

Taylor Jackson — Tue, 25 May 2010 14:27:20 +0000

Before we get started here, I’d like to say that I have taken my new favorite wedding image of all time. I can’t take all the credit though, Chris and Tyler scouted this amazing location years back and it was the first stop on their photo location list.

Ever since I met up with Chris and Tyler for the first time, I’ve been stoked for their wedding.

Random awesome facts about the day:

Christina’s mom did the fantastic beading on Chris’ wedding dress.
Chris and Tyler are both part of the amazing graphic design and development studio Pilot Interactive
Chris found her beautiful parasol umbrella at Raindrops in Toronto – all they sell is rain related merchandise!
I love vintage themed weddings.
Favorite random quote of the day “You look like the cover of a romantic comedy”
They painted little hearts on a brick wall for us to use for photos.
It didn’t rain! And then it did. And then it stopped again!
The guys picked up breakfast at the Senator in Dundas square. It’s one of those places you drive past, and you think…’that place is either really really good, or really really sketchy’ — it’s good.
Louboutin’s made an appearance for the wedding
No one was sure how to bustle the dress, so we looked it up on Youtube.
We did some photos at a fantastic vintage brick wall, and then headed to Ryerson University for some green shots.
They picked the Carlu in Toronto for their venue after they spotted a photo from a 1930s dinner party held there.
St Michael’s Cathedral downtown Toronto is GIANT. And you can’t take photos from the balcony, unless you want to pay 8 million dollars (true fact – it needs restored)
Black Truffle Mac n Cheese is the best Hors D’Oeuvres I’ve come across to date.
I had my buddy Tyler James Bertrand out to second shoot, and he created some amazing photographs.
Anemones are the best flower.
The DJ blew my mind at several moments throughout the evening. Weddings in general need more MGMT.
The entire day was so beautiful, and so much fun. It really was absolutely perfect.
Chris and Tyler are currently in the process of spending 5 weeks in Europe. Honeymoon win.

On to some more pictures!

Taylor Jackson — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 14:35:58 +0000

Ali and Pete were married at Archeo, in the Distillery District, Toronto. The whole day was so much fun – we started off at the new Hilton Garden Inn downtown Toronto, and headed to The Distillery from there.

We edited together a same day slideshow for display at the reception, and here it is:

Here’s my favorite shot from the day:

Toronto Wedding Decor and Design | Floral Design | CSEME 2010

Awaken Wedding and Portrait Photography Workshop Toronto

Taylor Jackson — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:08:36 +0000

Hey all – it was just announced that I’ll be teaching at the Awaken Wedding and Portrait Photography workshop in Toronto this March 20th and 21st (2010) alongside of some of the top photographers in the Southern Ontario area.

From the moment this workshop was first conceptualized, the main purpose has been to create an environment for photographers to come together and open their hearts and minds to explore new realms of creativity.

We support photographers wanting to create fresh, heartfelt, meaningful images. We will do our very best to open new areas of consciousness and invite you to break out of established paradigms.

Each of the speakers have been carefully selected based on not only their extreme proficiency in creating outstanding images, but also their ability to communicate their passion, philosophies and beliefs with enthusiasm.

Check out the site! And I hope to see you there. I’ll be speaking on the Saturday.

Taylor Jackson — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:30:46 +0000

What an amazing day for a January wedding! Great people, great venues, great food, so much fun, and so many people on the dance floor!

The Paramount was beautifully decorated, and the band sounded fantastic.

Oh, and 1000 paper cranes!

On to some photos:

12 Frames :: 35mm Black and White Film :: Las Vegas, Grand Canyon

Taylor Jackson — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 23:30:18 +0000

In the age of digital, I find it’s way too easy to press the shutter without thinking. I’m guilty of it at times, that’s for sure. It’s almost refreshing to shoot film again. Again…well, actually I’ve only shot about 60 frames of 35mm in my entire life – and here’s 12 of them from my last trip to Las Vegas / Grand Canyon:
