This year has been absolutely fabulous, Ryan and I cannot express how thankful we are for everything we have been given this year. We have had such amazing support for our photography, and it makes our day when we get a comment or a question on our blog.
So we would like to give back to our community. A bunch of our photographer friends from across the country are helping out and giving back to their communities by donating canned foods to their local food banks.
So from now until December 1st for every comment we receive on our blog we will donate 1 can to the Barrie Food Bank.
So take a look back into our archives and leave us a nice comment. We will keep you all posted on the comment tally.
We can’t wait to read your comments.
Erika & Ryan
And since no blog post feels complete without one, here is a pic!

Wow! It’s already November and we have already shot our last wedding of 2009. What an amazing year we have had. This year we have been so lucky to have met so many great couples.
You may recognize this couple from this wedding, they have been featured on our blog twice already. First for their family photo session, and for their engagement session we photographed downtown Toronto.
After a horrible week of weather to start off November with we were more than suprised and thankful for the gorgroues day we had, I don’t think we have ever photographed a wedding where the sky was such a mix of colours.
This was our first wedding at the Barrie Country Club since the renovations have been completed, and its an absolutely stunning building and golf course. It is one of our favourite Barrie locations to shoot at. We also had the chance to work with one of our dear friends Sheryl Clifford from Wedding Ties event planning. Her work is superb, and she is such a fun lady to work with.
So without further adieu, here is Priscilla & Daniels wedding.
Congratulations you guys!!!!!!!
















Weddings at Toronto’s Sunnybrook Estates are always beautiful. They are classic English designed houses, with beautiful decor, and tons and tons of character. Almost like our amazing couple Jonathan & Emma. This beautiful couple just oozes character, they are fun, lighthearted, and a perfect match for this location. These two are so much in love, and everyone can tell.
This year we have photographed quite a few long distance couples. Jonathan is from Canada and Emma is from the U.K. They met in College and have been traveling back and forth ever since.
It rained on their wedding day, and even though the ceremony had to be brought inside, we are firm believers in the Hindu belief that rain is a sign of good luck and wellness.
Congratulations Jonathan & Emma
We hope you had a fantastic honeymoon in Niagara!!!
We hope you all enjoy these dreamy wedding images, we are pretty proud of them.
Erika & Ryan




Bustling the dress










Jonathan & Emma are big time Beatles fans, so much so that Jonathan took off his shoes so he could authentically replicate Paul McCartney in the Abbey Road cover. Notice Emma wearing white like John Lennon too.

On top of that someone mentioned to us that Christmas was coming up soon too.

Here is one of my most favourite images from Jonathan and Emma’s wedding. I have a lot of faves, but every once and a while we take a pic that I am so jealous of and that I wish Ryan and I took of us.
Jonathan and Emma make this pic look good!
More to come from Jonathan and Emma’s wedding soon!
