How To Avoid Wedding Planning Mistakes

How To Avoid Wedding Planning Mistakes

In the world of wedding planning you can really lose track of many things during the it’s process. I have heard this countless times from couples as they are going through their wedding planning. But there is hope at the end of the tunnel and ways in which that tunnel does not become so formidable. It really is not so much about what the planning is but how you manage your way through it that is the deciding factor. Like everything else you need to take your time and chip away at it slowly and steadily.

Try to tackle it one step at a time. You cannot focus on everything all at once. Try this, meet only photographer’s this week and make your choice by the end of it. Think about how quickly this approach will mark all of those services off your checklist. One week for florists will turn to one week for the transportation and in a month you are sitting pretty. If this pace is too much for you take a week off.

If you are in need of more time to make a decision you can dictate the pace. It’s all about how much you can handle that will help make it less stressful for you both. If you are stressed out or feel rushed or even worse forced to make a decision that’s when mistakes happen. You can even allow a week to go over the guest list, that is more than enough time to discuss everything with the decision makers. A great idea is to get a calendar and plan it all out in advance and before you know it you have a few extra weeks off here and there to relax.

Palais Royale Wedding – Isabelle & John

Posted in Wedding

Palais Royale Wedding – Isabelle & John

This wedding day had a few of our favorite things. We loved everything about the locations on this wedding day in September. From the ceremony location to the transportation to the wedding reception, we loved each and every location. Even the days transportation was awesome, the Rolls Royce shows up in a few of our favorite images captured on this wedding day. As well as our favorite reflection and silhouette image of the year is here, and all in one image. An all around fav fest on this wedding day made our job a little easier. We even managed to get a two photographer coverage so that we could get a few different angles and perspectives.

The day started at St. Clare’s church right off Dufferin and ironically St.Clair. The ceremony was an absolutely dream to photograph for both Chris and George. With one handling the ceremony the other was free to capture a few scenery images as well as a birds eye view of the wedding ceremony. With an intimate wedding came a drive in the Rolls Royce down to the lake and the lovely Palais Royale. While all of the weddings guest had a bite to eat along with the bridal party we photographed on, in and around the grounds. A beautiful late summer afternoon made it a literal walk in the park.

On our way back to the reception we managed to wiggle out a few extra minutes and capture more awesome images. Like the reflection and silhouette combination image we captured. We have been to Palais Royale on many occasions and have always wanted to get that one and finally did for Isabella and John. Finally during dinner we added a few images that show off the iconic Palais Royale well, the black and white ones might be the best ones for us.

Adamson Estate Wedding – Ashley & Bryan

Posted in Wedding

Adamson Estate Wedding – Ashley & Bryan

This wedding day was a little special one of us as we have been photographing memories for Ashley and her family since she was born. Since our studio opened in 1987 this kind of story will come up often for us and they are all equally special to us. We take pride in knowing the families trust us capturing their memories time and time again. You get a chance to see children become teens and then adults and it is rewarding. That kind of reward is the reason we keep doing what we do and will keep us doing so for years to come.

The wedding day itself started in Toronto as both Ashley and Bryan got ready at their parents homes. With the distance between both houses being fairly close it allowed for added time to photograph. Also adding to the fact that we had ample time was the fact that as we approached each location everyone was there and ready to go. Always a plus for us as we get to try a few different tricks. Once our trickery was completed we headed for the wedding ceremony which took place at St. Matthew’s church in Toronto.

After the wedding ceremony we got into the limo bus and made the drive across town into Mississauga for photos at Adamson Estate. It was another great September afternoon for photos and once again it seemed as though we had the location all to ourselves. With time and weather on our side we managed to photograph through out the whole park. We were even lucky enough to make our way to a beach nearby. But soon we needed to make our way across the lakeshore to the wedding reception at Oasis Convention Centre.

Mississauga On Location Business Portraits

Posted in Portrait

Mississauga On Location Business Portraits

It’s a new year and you need a fresh new business portrait to show off your happy and smiley face. We are taking the studio on the road this month and our first stop is Mississauga. On January 24th will be located in the meeting room of Remax at 6850 Millcreek drive, right by the Meadowvale Go station. It’s the perfect location for those of you in Mississauga, Brampton and Oakville who find it hard to pass by our Toronto studio for your business portrait. We will be on location that day from 10 am to noon, you could fit us in right before your lunch meeting.

For $80 we will photograph and capture up to 15 images of you with 2 of your choice to be retouched. Not a bad price as we are bringing everything to you. All you need to bring is a smile and maybe your best outfit. This is open to all and not just Remax employees, so if you are in the area pass by. We can even tag along on your lunch meeting but you are paying, we need to get that out in the open.

It is important for your image to be fresh and updated. It is your first impression either online or in print to potential clients. They need to see what you look like today, not 15 years ago with an awesome mullet. Before you ask we cannot add hair to your images. But we will probably make you look 10 years younger. Follow the link below to schedule your appointment time.

September Adamson Estate Wedding – Cidalia and Sergio

Posted in Wedding

September Adamson Estate Wedding – Cidalia and Sergio

Before we get started on the actual wedding day segment of this blog post I need to state that Cidalia is an awesome name. I may be a little bit biased because it’s my moms name but it is still one of the best names you can name your daughter, when you have one. True I did not name my daughter Cidalia but with one already in the family things could have gotten confusing. And now back to your regularly scheduled blog post.

Our day started in my dad’s old hood of Dufferin and Dundas. Cidalia was getting ready at her moms house deep in my fathers old stomping grounds. Although many of the Portuguese families have gone and moved away their presence can still be felt. We took a tour of the neighborhood and was schooled on which lane ways not to go down. I made a few mental notes and also captured a few cool images in the lane ways we could go down. Of to St. Mary’s church where Sergio was waiting patiently to get married.

With us being 45 minutes early to the ceremony, a theme which was consistent in 2017 we took Sergio and his boys around the block to escape the crowd of guests who too were a little early. Shaking off the nerves before the ceremony we were ready to rock as show time came pretty quickly. As does everything when you are having fun. After an emotional wedding ceremony we all jumped into the limo bus and headed to Adamson Estate in Mississauga. For a September Saturday it was a little light on people traffic in and around the park as we photographed, which lead nice clean images. Plus the boats that were out on the lake did help a bit. But as mentioned before our exit time came quickly (to much fun remember) and the wedding reception awaited us at Mississauga Grand up the street.
