Rosa & Jake - 10 hour photo + video

Chris is incredibly talented, made us feel super comfortable, and worked closely with us to achieve the exact results we hoped for. We worked with Chris for our engagement and wedding day, and he was 10/10 for both. We presented some really specific ideas, which included public transit! and Chris nailed them all, with a smile. Everyone at our wedding commented on how friendly and fun he made the photography; he really blended in.
We had such an amazing experience with Chris and would absolutely recommend him.

Lauren & Barry - 8 hour wedding photography

Chris shot our engagement photos this weekend and it was a great experience! Neither my partner nor I are naturals in front of a camera, but we were instantly comfortable with Chris and the photos he took make us look so good. I highly recommend for any photography needs.

Jackie & Mitch - 1 hour engagement photography

“Chris was an absolute gem. He captured both photo and video beautifully, and the results truly speak for themselves. Watching our film brought us to tears, and the photos perfectly reflect our love and the feeling of the day. He was professional, detail-oriented, and somehow everywhere without being noticed. We couldn’t be happier and would recommend him without hesitation.”

All Around Toronto Wedding with Lauren and Barry

There&rsquo;s something magical about sunsets by the water&mdash;and Kylie and Lovell&rsquo;s engagement shoot at Polson Pier was no exception. With the Toronto skyline glowing behind them and Lake Ontario reflecting every golden hue, this session was full of warmth, laughter, and love&hellip; even if the breeze said otherwise!
&nbsp;
Though the evening brought a slight chill (a given when you're that close to the water), Kylie and Lovell came prepared&mdash;with matching outfits that were both stylish and cozy. Their coordinated look not only popped against the city backdrop but perfectly captured their fun, laid-back vibe.
&nbsp;
Despite the crowd that often flocks to Polson Pier during golden hour, we managed to find quiet little moments that made the shoot feel incredibly intimate. From loving hugs to quiet hand-holding as the sun dipped lower, every shot spoke to the genuine connection these two share.
&nbsp;
And let&rsquo;s not forget their shared love for bubble tea! Mid-shoot, they pulled out their favorite Chatime drinks&mdash;an unexpected but adorable detail that added a playful and personal touch to their gallery. Because what&rsquo;s better than toasting to forever with your person&hellip; and your favorite boba?
&nbsp;
Here&rsquo;s to Kylie and Lovell&mdash;proof that love, laughter, and a little bit of bubble tea make for a perfect engagement session. 🌇💛🥤

Golden Hour Love: Kylie & Lovell’s Sunset Engagement Shoot at Polson Pier

On a cold winter in Richmond Hill, Andrew and Kebre, along with their charming children, were all set for a day full of capturing memories at the Glass House Studios. Clad in matching outfits, the family's sense of unity was beautifully reflected in their choice of attire. The atmosphere was filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation as they prepared for both a family photo shoot and an engagement shoot. The spacious studio was bathed in natural light, illuminating every corner, and creating an ambiance that was just perfect for capturing candid moments but I chose to use my off camera flash for added. The kids, despite their young age, showed remarkable patience and discipline. They waited quietly, their eyes filled with curiosity, as their parents took center stage for their engagement shoot. Andrew and Kebre, a picture-perfect couple, exuded love and warmth. They posed effortlessly, their smiles genuine and eyes sparkling with joy. I watched from behind the lens, my heart filled with admiration for this beautiful family. Their love for each other was palpable and the energy in the room was absolutely contagious. After the engagement shoot, it was time for the family photos. The children, who had been so patient, were now bubbling with excitement. Their infectious laughter and innocent antics added a lively charm to the pictures. The family portraits came out beautifully, each one a testament to the love and bond they shared. Reflecting on the day's shoot, I felt a sense of fulfillment. As a photographer, my aim is to capture not just images, but emotions and stories. Andrew, Kebre, and their family had given me the perfect opportunity to do just that. Their warmth, love, and unity were beautifully reflected in every photograph. Looking at the final pictures, I was reminded of why I fell in love with photography. It's not just about capturing moments, it's about immortalizing emotions and creating memories that will be cherished forever. This family shoot was a beautiful reminder of the magic that love and unity can create, a magic that I am fortunate to witness and capture through my lens. As I continue on my journey as a photographer, I look forward to more such opportunities. Opportunities to witness love, to capture joy, and to create memories. And in doing so, I hope to grow, to learn, and to deliver the best for my clients, just as I did with Andrew, Kebre, and their lovely children.
