What a Weekend!



The pics (above) are from Erin & Craig's wedding which took place on saturday at The Cutten Club. The heavy rain and (even) hail stopped in time for a beautiful outdoor ceremony.

The following day, Jenn & I shot Lara & Marco's wedding at The Manor. I wish I had more time to post more images - both weddings were really special!

As of July 30th ...

I'll be away for two weeks on assignment. I will be checking my emails regularly and will try to respond within a few days. Many thanks in advance for your patience. Upon my return it will be full steam ahead for August with weddings on the 16,17,22,24,30. This is an exciting summer season.

Thank You
Jim

Monique & Sherif

Just a few images from the wedding I shot two days ago. It was my first Coptic Orthodox wedding. The ceremony was filled with rich traditions, ancient customs and true beauty. Check back next week as I will be shooting two weddings this upcoming weekend.

Rehearsal Without a Priest

Yesterday evening, I attended the wedding rehearsal of Monique and Sherif, a great couple whose wedding I will be shooting this coming Sunday. Their family and friends were all in attendance ready and excited to start the rehearsal except for the priest who surprisingly was in another city. Without hesitation, the brother of the groom took charge and led the rehearsal very successfully! This event is going to be a lot of fun and I am looking forward to shooting it.

Birthday Ritual

Today I heard the most intriguing birthday ritual/right of passage. Imagine spending your 21st birthday under the stars at ancient Delphi. If you find yourself travelling to Greece - Delphi is definitely worth exploring. It is an awe inspiring ancient site surrounded by Mount Parnassus. I captured these images last year. If you are a fan of the movie 300 - then you will recall the scene where King Leonidas consults with the Oracle... well, this is the place.
Enjoy your upcoming trip Kosta!



Jessica & Ryan

These are two of my favorite shots from Jessica and Ryan's wedding on Lake Simcoe. It was a beautiful day and an emotion filled event. The father of the bride had tears of joy during the ceremony. It was really special to share in their happiness.
