~~ Shiu-chi + Edgar ~~

{Hello!

I’m in Asia, but I wanted to get Edgar and Shiu-chi on the blog. Edgar and Shiu-chi are two of the most genuine and beautiful people I’ve met. We spent the afternoon together and had such a wonderful time. We ate unhealthy food together and went on rides at the CNE. It was good fun!   I was so happy with this session and wanted to make sure it was perfect.

Please enjoy the pictures!

September 25, 2011 - 7:26 pm Carmen - Gorgeous photos! Shiuchi told me that you guys rescheduled due to rain and it rained on the day of the shoot. I guess it was meant to be. I really love pic# 4 counting from the top. Looks like they are really enjoying the rain. Looking forward to working with you. (Btw, I'm their wedding day coordinator)

September 25, 2011 - 8:13 pm Hagit - LOVE the shots on the rocks and the shot in the rain! Happy travels!

(I too am a fan of shot #4...)I've only had little time (2 short days) to get to know Shiu-Chi, but I already know that she'll be a wonderful addition to our family. We look forward to the wedding on Sat and sharing this special occasion with all the families and friends! xo

~~ S and G – Homies. ~~

Sarah and Gwayne are not only good clients, they are great friends.  I’ve known Sarah for almost 2 years now, and I was honoured AND excited when she asked me if I’d photograph her wedding. One of THE COOLEST moments in any wedding I’ve shot (and made me cry.. wtf?) was when Sarah’s mother read a letter that Gwayne had written to her when they first started to date letting her know that he would look after Sarah and how much he cared about her.

S and G had two weddings, because that’s how S rolls.. one at her parents home near The Hamptons, and one in NYC.  Part one of the wedding you will see below, and part two (NYC) will be featured next week! I just wanted to say to Sarah, thank you so much for being both a super amazing client, and a super amazing friend.. you have helped me personally with a lot, and I will always appreciate that. I’m glad I got to be there on your wedding day, and can’t wait to see you both again very soon.

{ Hello Party People!

I was told recently “you have fallen off the face of the blog world” — That was a slightly uncomfortable revelation, and has prompted me to make blogging a priority again. It’s not for lack of material, but just busy and travel. Little known fact, it actually takes me on average 5 hours to prep, write, and post a blog! However, I will be returning to this spot every Monday.

Few weeks back I travelled to Israel with Shelly and Jared, as well as a plethora of friends and family to document their (epic) wedding. It was SO much fun! I’ve never been to a country quite like Israel, it truly is full of history and beauty. We visited the dead sea, Jerusalem, wine tours, and many fantastic dinners out and party nights. Shelly and Jared do a fantastic job of making me feel like one of the family and it was an experience I’ll genuinely never forget.  Pictures below, enjoy. }
