Striking Wedding at Jump Restaurant in Toronto

developer — Fri, 28 Mar 2014 20:59:26 +0000

Mmmm … last minute weddings are awesome. Sometimes, you get so wrapped up in a day that it goes by too quick – as was the case with Nika and Sina. They were fun, easy going, and up for anything! The reception was held at one of Oliver & Bonacini’s YUMMY restaurants in Toronto called Jump. Jump Restaurant combines a classic style with sleek modern eclecticism. The sky high glass atrium, dramatic lighting elements, signature New York style bar, and courtyard patio provided the perfect backdrop for this intimate wedding.

The couple left us plenty of time to take pictures and we ended up shooting at the same location they had their very first date, Evergreen Brickworks and the Financial District. The ceremony took place in Sina’s family backyard. As we were shooting this small and intimate event, we couldn’t help but feel like family.

Thanks for including us Nika and Sina! We love you both.

Home Engagement Session with Stacey and Sonya

My at-home engagement session with Sonya and Stacey began with sipping cups of maple tea (yipes!) and slowly progressed into the creation of a mouth watering beer-can-chicken dinner. The recipe, though quite simple, requires lots of love, care, and of course, beer. For anyone else who wants to try it, I found some great directions here, and have detailed Sonya and Stacey’s recipe here:

– 1 whole chicken
– 1/2 a lemon
– salt to taste
– freshly ground pepper
– chicken seasoning
– crushed chili peppers
– olive oil
– 1 can beer (Creemore)

Shooting a lifestyle session is an intimate experience, and it’s always interesting to see how closely a home ties into someone’s character. I can’t thank Sonya and Stacey enough for such an awesome afternoon. I walked away ecstatic with what I’d captured, and Sonya sent me home with more maple tea and cupcakes 🙂

Enjoy!
