Kristy + Xeon {Atlantis Toronto}

By cristina on August 8 in Weddings with No Comments

We’ve had the pleasure of seeing and photographing Kristy and Xeon through some of the most exciting times of their lives. We first met when they were expecting their little girl Rylei, for a chilly fall maternity session:

and again soon after she was born:

their Yorkville engagement session, and most recetly their wedding reception at Atlantis Pavillion in Toronto.

Kristy + Xeon, thank you so much for the opportunity to watch your family grow, to hang out with Rylei again and to party it up with you two! We had an amazing time 🙂 Here’s a few of our favs:

They got ready together at the Fairmont Royal York, the hotel is beautiful; I loved all the intricate details and the tall ceilings made it easy to take full length photos of Kristy’s dress.

Kristy, you’re gorgeous!

I can’t believe what a big girl Rylei is! She loves to dance and put on quite a show for us 🙂

Props!

Leaving the Royal York champagne in hand 🙂

Kinsie + Nick {Married!!} – The Doctor’s House Kleinburg

By cristina on July 17 in Weddings with No Comments

Kinsie and Nick’s wedding day was beautiful, gorgeous blue skies with fluffy white clouds and an outdoor ceremony at The Doctor’s House. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day to photograph these two!

One of my favs of Kinsie getting ready:

Kinsie you’re gorgeous! 🙂

Found a funky mirror in the hallway of the hotel and of course, I had to play with the reflections

Love this one of Nick:

The cutest wedding day present a bride could ever receive, can you guess what it was??

A new puppy!

So cute!

Love this last one…. getting ready to head to The Doctor’s House!

There’s so many more to share 🙂 But they’ll have to wait for the next post!

Kinsie and Nick, thank you again for making us a part of your celebration,

Cristina

Baby Love {Miss Paisley Pearl}

By cristina on July 9 in Babies with 4 Comments

I don’t think I can convey my happiness when I see 2 people so in love, so happy, falling head over heels for their new baby. Little Paisley, you are one special, beautiful incredibly loved baby girl.

Lauren and Mike, we are both thrilled for you two and your families. She’s perfect, and I loved the time I had this weekend to snuggle her and take these family photos for you.

You might want to grab a drink and something to snack on.. this is going to be a long post! I couldn’t possibly narrow down the photos to just a few.

Lauren, you are so beautiful:

We photographed Lauren and Mike what seems like ages ago when they said their I Do’s (but really it’s only been 3 years). It’s been amazing to see your family grow, and to see your faces light up like they did on your wedding day!

I’ve decided to move away from more posed/studio newborn photography, and instead photograph new parents, in their home, documenting their space, their growing family as naturally as we photograph weddings. There are many wonderful newborn photographers out there who are incredible at what they do, but images like this move me and inspire me and I’m so happy to offer this type of session to our clients looking for something a little different.

Looks like she’s smiling!

Mike, you’ve got this daddy business all figured out 😀 Paisley quieted down and fell asleep as soon as you swaddled and cuddled her close to you, she knows she’s in good hands!

More smiles 🙂

I’ll end with my fav photo of the 3 of you:

Thank you for allowing me a little peek at your new love.

I have more, so many more I want to share, but they’ll have to wait until the full gallery goes up here.

Ania & Luke {Married!!} – Liuna Station Hamilton

By cristina on June 27 in Weddings with No Comments

These 2 go together like summer days & dips in the pool. Absolutely perfect together.

We fell in love with them and Luke’s crazy sense of humour while shooting their e-session and knew that their wedding day would be filled with laughs and unpredictable antics (curtesy of Luke of course). We weren’t wrong!

Their love of adventure and travel was perfectly conveyed with their super cute flight ticket inspired invitations:

I adore peonies, they’re my favourite type of flower and in June when they bloom there’s always a vase or two around the house to enjoy. I possibly may have taken a few too many of Ania’s gorgeous bouquet:
