alisha & david’s toronto wedding at archeo restaurant in the distillery district
david and alisha’s wedding was fun and joy-filled from start to finish, from drinks in the backyard with friends to start the day to ending the night under the twinkle lights in the distillery district. nothing felt forced, and these two truly exuded nothing but happiness and appreciation all day long.
archeo restaurant was stunning, as is usual — it consistently remains one of our favourite locations in the whole city to photograph a wedding, after more than a decade. a private outdoor area nestled between the old buildings that everyone comes to the distillery district for, what more could you ask for. we have photographed weddings of friends of alisha and david and it’s always fun to see familiar faces coming together again for a party and this was no exception. hoping there are still a few more to come in the future.
also loved working with a lush affair, garden’s path florals, and flavia abadia on this one!

sophie + brandon’s collingwood wedding at the devil’s glen
sophie and brandon’s wedding in the blue mountains early last fall checked all the boxes from start to finish. i felt a particular kinship with brandon, who had dedicated seeds, space, time and care to growing almost all the flowers used on the day — some, like the echinacea and black eyed susan are a multi-year project, usually only flowering in their second year of growth, so it was extra special to photograph their day surrounded by not only their friends and family, but their blooms as well (not forgetting the cat — beans made a guest cameo too!).
alongside all of that was how welcoming and appreciative and kind everyone was, not only towards us but each other. when i look back on the photos, it looks like such a larger group than what i remembered it being, and i think that’s due to how close and welcoming it felt to be there. days like that are what make it easy for dave and i to do our best work documenting things as they unfold.
