Jamie is so easy to love. Every time I see her, I just want to squeeze her and plant the biggest smooch on her cheek. I couldn’t resist, having walked into her Mariott Renaissance Hotel bridal suite. Wow. The traditional ceremony at the St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Parish was so touching. Jamie was now a step away from Jon, gently holding on to her dad’s arm. A heavy single tear overwhelmed her radiant face. I welled up at once… thank goodness for autofocus!
Jamie & Jon’s creative bridal portraits are very special to me, as we spent most of the time shooting in and around my building and my English Bay neighborhood. After stopping for bubble tea, we made ourselves comfortable in the small cozy park beside my building and rocked out to the boombox beats. We then went on to the seawall, to entertain rollerblading/biking/jogging traffic! I’m so grateful for Jamie & Jon’s trust. They really pushed their boundaries for me… and for kissed lots in public!!!
Their beautiful reception at the Mariott Renaissance Harbourside Hotel came alive with the live performance by Checo Tohomaso, an incredible wedding singer who poured his soul out with a bit of soul and jazz. He once sang with the Commodores and Lionel Ritchie, and now was gracing us with his passion and funk!
It was also so much fun to work with the awesome videographer, Dennis Bauyon… We didn’t bump into each other even once
Jamie & Jon, you rock. Thank you for making it so effortless to capture your love. Rob & I look forward to laughing with you over wine soon!

Here’s the wedding singer Checo Tohomaso, shaking up the guests… He sang a few Lionel Ritchie songs that my dad used to play when I was a little girl and didn’t understand a word of English. Oh, so good I was melting!
