Gabi Shull & Chaya Fischman: July 26th, 2010

Gabi & Chaya's wedding was a lot of fun!
They are such loving and sincere people. They love to have fun and pose for the camera -I love that! It's so nice to have a couple who really enjoys taking pictures and wants to have fun.
We had a blast taking pictures -especially Gabi! Boy, what a character that one is! We definitely had lots of laughs!
Chaya was so calm and trusting -she was just so happy to be getting married! She looked absolutely gorgeous in her wedding gown!
The wedding was held at the BAYT Synagogue in Thornhill. The decor was amazingly gorgeous! I had to add a few of the decor shots in the slideshow -I loved the colour combinations!

One thing that I thought was so sweet of Gabi to do for Chaya was sing for her right before they were about to come in for the dancing and at the head table during the meal -so cute!
All in all it was a wonderful event that Bernard & I were so grateful to be a part of.

Moshe Mernick & Melanie Deverett: June 21st, 2010

I know many of you have been anticipating some of our more recent weddings & events, so I do want to apologize for the delay of my blog posts -we've just been so extremely busy, it's been really hard to keep up! But I do promise to try to catch up and post some of our latest work soon!

In any case, I knew I for sure couldn't forget to post THIS wedding! Moshe & Melanie are the bomb! They were so much fun to photograph, it was hilarious!
Melanie was simply bubbling over joy -and rightfully so! It was indeed her wedding day and she was going to thoroughly enjoy it! She looked absolutely gorgeous in her wedding gown and was so much fun to photograph -she would just laugh the whole time!
Moshe was no different. He was simply exploding with excitement and could hardly sit still long enough for me to take formal pictures of him! So we went for more of the fun creative shots instead and had an awesome time at it!
I think these two were definitely made for each other!
What I loved the most about this wedding was the love and support that both families showed towards Moshe & Melanie and the excitement they all shared. It was so special to capture those moments of closeness that bonded them together.
And boy, did they have fun! Wow, I've never seen this style of presentation & speeches at a wedding before.
Mr. Deverett put a lot of work into setting up a full cantata of rewritten songs, funny acts and speeches for the couple -all this was done in the middle of dancing! It was awesome and very nicely done.
But what totally blew me away was what the ladies did for Melanie towards the end of the dancing. They brought out a huge canoe with Melanie's little sister on it! It was incredible and something that I'll never forget!
Wow, what a night...needless to say, it was an unforgettable evening that we were so thankful to be a part of, and to capture such special moments that they can cherish forever.
It was so hard to choose these few shots to tell their story, but I hope you enjoy it! So click on their photo below to view their slide show.
Mazel Tov Moshe & Melanie! Wishing you both all the best and a wonderful future together!

Jeffery Perlman & Abra Maizels: June 16th, 2010

WOW -that's probably the best word to describe Jeffery & Abra's wedding! What an amazing wedding!
What made this wedding special & unique was Abra's one request: "I want something different, artistic & fun!"
"Ok", I said "You want something different? I'll give you something different! I'm game! Lets do this!"
Result: We had an absolute BLAST!! :)
Jeffery was an awesome model too -that guy knows how to pose!

Everything turned out beautiful at this wedding -from the gorgeous decor work (done by my parents at Heavenly Flowers) to the food and the fun shtick and dancing thrown at the reception, a Fantabulous time was had by all!

My absolute favourite part was at the very end of the night when I took Jeffery & Abra outside for some really nice night shots! It was incredible!!

So click on their photo below to view their slide show -and make sure you watch it until the very end....there were some fantastic stuff done at the end of the night!
Enjoy :)

Michoel Stuart: March 1st, 2010

Bernard & I had so much fun photographing Michoel -he's a great model and lots of fun to hang out with! We would just laughed the whole time, it was hilarious!! :)
He's a very good kid and very patient with me and my crazy ideas that sometimes wouldn't work or when it did, it took a while to get it right! But I guess it's all part of the experience!

Michoel did a great job laining at the Chabad Gate Shull in the morning. You should have seen how proud his parents were -his mom was beaming from ear to ear!
Later on in the afternoon we went to the BAYT to do his portraits and then the party in the evening...and boy, do those kids know how to party -they had a blast and a half, that's for sure!
Mazel Tov Michoel! You did a great job on your Bar Mitzvah! We wish you all the best.
Check out some of my favourite shots below and let me know what you think:

Ariel Kirzner & Heila Wellman: Jaunary 24th, 2010

Wow, what a wedding! Bernard & I had the awesome privilege of photographing Ariel & Heila's wedding which was held at the BAYT Synagogue in Thornhill.
This was such a special wedding for us to photograph as we had photographed Mrs. Wellman's best friend's son's wedding, Mrs. Steiner, in England 2 years ago and we hung out with the Wellmans quite a bit while we were there -they are such a sweet family! Mrs. Wellman is the best!! :)
So you can imagine how excited we were when we were asked to photograph Ariel & Heila's wedding!
If I had one word to best describe this wedding, the word would have to be "Epic"! Heheheee...It was simply awesome! :)
Heila looked absolutely STUNNING in her wedding gown and Ariel was looking super cool in his suit! These guys were so much fun to photograph!
Ariel especially loved being in front of the camera -in fact, he sang out several tunes in-between photos as I was taking them, because he was so happy he was getting married! How awesome is that? (I think he was also practicing as he sang for Heila during the reception too -so cute!)
And Heila was incredibly gorgeous! We got so many amazing shots of her -I especially LOVE the shots at Kabalat Ponim with the little girl who gave Heila a drawing she made for the Kallah -so sweet!
It was so special for us to be there to capture these short-lived moments for this beautiful couple. These are definitely captured moments that will last a lifetime...you gotta love photography!
The decor was incredible -to say the least! All of the flowers and the draping work was all done by my parents at Heavenly Flowers -and I'm not just saying that it was beautiful because they are my parents either...when I say it was incredible, that's because it really was indeed GORGEOUS!! (So make sure to check out their work!)

Anyway, everything went amazingly well at this wedding and I do want to take a moment to thank the Kirzner and the Wellman families for entrusting us to capture such wonderful memories for their children -it was a great honour for us! Thank you so much. We certainly hope to be of continued service to you all!

Alright, well as you can very well imagine, it was insanely difficult to choose these few shots to represent the entire wedding -but I tried! And I hope you enjoy viewing them too!! Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear from you! :)

Shimon Enkin & Ita Steier: January 21st, 2010

Alright! We are finally starting to get back into the swing of things since returning from our trip! We had such an awesome time in Israel -and can't wait to go back again!! :)
We took over 6000 pictures while we were there (and we're still in the process of going through them all!) but it was totally worth it because now the pictures are what we have as a memory of our first trip to Israel! (This is one of the reasons for why we have such a passion for photography; it gives us the tool to capture a moment and to save it for life! We love it!! :)

Well, since returning from Israel, we've hit the pavement running with 2 weddings in the last 2 weeks of January (certainly no time for catching up on the jet lag here!). But that's ok, Bernard & I had lots of fun with Ita & Shimon, it was well worth the effort to come back in time to do their wedding!
Ita looked absolutely splendid in her wedding dress! WOW! She was simply stunning! And that cathedral gown...unbelievable! And Shimon was looking very sharp in his suit! It was great seeing him again after having photographed his sister Daniella's wedding only 10 months ago! We had a blast photographing both of them -they were so much fun!! =p

Below are just a few of our favourite shots from Shimon & Ita's wedding -the pictures came out so beautiful! (Of course, we couldn't help but take wonderful pictures what with such a good looking couple as they make, you can't get much better than this!)
Thank you so much, Ita & Shimon, for giving us the wonderful privilege of capturing your wedding day! Hope you enjoy!! :)

Yaakov Morgenstern & Ruti Rrhochman: October 15th, 2009

Yaakov & Ruti's wedding was so special! We had an awesome time photographing them and their families! They are such a good looking couple, (don't worry, ALL of our clients are beautiful!)and they look so good together! =p
The wedding was held at the BAYT synagogue and my parents at Heavenly Flowers did the floral and decor artwork -everything looked stunningly beautiful!!
It was so much fun to photograph these guys- you should have seen Ruti throw her actual bouquet in the air for her sisters to catch! It was awesome!! I even caught the shot with the bouquet in mid-air too! HAHA!!=p
But I must say that my favourite shots are at the end when we did some sweet night shots at the end of the night in front of the Shull! So make sure you watch the slideshow all the way to the end! They look sooo good!! (Not the pictures though, the couple! LOL!)
Anyway, hope you enjoy viewing the pictures below! =p

Avishai Gasner: September 7th, 2009

First of all, I just want to say that I think Avishai's name is so neat! He has a great name!
Secondly, Bernard & I had a ton of fun with him and his family during his Bar Mitzvah! On the Sunday, the day before his actual Bar Mitzvah, we went to a really cool little park that we have never been to before. We love going to new and different places because it gives us the opportunity to be creative and see things differently and get awesome angles!
We had a great time photographing Avishai and his family there at the park -it was the perfect day too! The sun was streaming through the leaves on the trees and giving off that warm glow -it was fantastic!
Then the next day, we were at the BAYT Synagogue bright and early in the morning for his actual reading of the Torah. Avishai did an awesome job!
His parents and siblings were extremely proud of him! It was so neat for us to be there to witness and catch those special moments for them.
Mazel Tov Avishai! You did your parents proud! =p
Check out some of our favourite shots from both days below:

Nesanel Fettman & Chava Bollag: August 4th, 2009

August was an insanely busy month for us -which is a good thing! And now we are finally starting to get caught up in editing all 10 weddings & events we photographed that month.

To kick it all off we start with Nesanel & Chava! What a great couple! Chava is such a sweet girl -a very caring and down to earth young lady. She looked absolutely gorgeous in her wedding dress! Nesanel is also a really nice guy -very shy, but it's cute because it fits his personality! He also looked dashing in his suit.
They come from such wonderful and loving families! It was very special for us to not only witness but to capture such tender moments between their siblings and their parents. We had a great time photographing their wedding!
Bellow are just some of our favourite shots -out of over 1500 photos! It was truly hard to choose these few to represent a wonderful night that lasted until 2am!
Mazel Tov Chava & Nesanel! All the best and much Nachas in your future together!

Michel Schachter & Rochel Leah Rosengarten: June 29th, 2009

Alright, we're making progress here: our last wedding for the month of June!

We were so excited to photograph Rochel Leah & Michel's wedding! It was an honour for us to photograph another Rosengarten wedding as we had photographed Rochel Leah's sister's wedding last year. They both come from such great families and it was so nice for us to reunite with them again this year!

The wedding took place at the BAYT Synagogue in Thornhill and because it is a Shull that we photograph many weddings in, I always challenge myself to try to come up with exciting and creative photographs for the Bride & Groom. And I think we were able to accomplish that here! Rochel Leah was awesome at doing some of the crazy things I asked her to do -but I think it worked out in the end and we got some beautiful shots! She looked gorgeous in her wedding dress!
Michel is such a great guy -very cheerful and always ready with a smile! The two of them looked stunning together!! We're so happy for the two of you -Mazel Tov! =p

These are just some of our favourite shot from their wedding -it was so hard to choose just these few! But I had to narrow them down or else we'd be watching this blog post forever!! (lol)
Anyway...enjoy! =p

Eliezer Bistritz & Hindy Kaufman: June 24th, 2009

We had the wonderful opportunity to photograph Rabbi Bistritz and his family again -That's twice in the same year! Just a couple of months ago, in March, Bernard & I got to go to Montreal to photograph Rabbi Bistritz's daughter's wedding. And now, we are honoured to have had the priviledge of photographing his son's wedding!

We had a great time photographing Eliezer & Hindy! They are a wonderful couple who come from very loving families. It was awesome for us to capture those special moments for them.
Check out some of our favourite shots from their wedding below! Enjoy =p

Aryeh David: June 1st, 2009

Our first event in the month of June was Aryeh's Bar Mitzvah! It was very special for our family to photograph and decorate this event because the David family -especially Aryeh's mom, Mrs. David are very dear to us!
We wanted to make sure we did something special for them so my parents from Heavenly Flowers did a spectacular job at dressing up the room while Bernard & I worked hard to make sure we got some really cool shots of Aryeh and the party after with his friends!
We had so much fun with them!! It was a huge honour for us to be there to capture those important and significant moments for the David family.
Mazel Tov Aryeh on a job well done on your speech! All the best to you and your family with many more Simchas to come! =p
Here are just a few of some of our favourite shots (out of several hundreds!!) that we took that night-hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think....

Gad Elmaleh & Joanna Segal: May 17th, 2009

Well, we kick off our summer with Gad & Joanna's wedding that was held this past Sunday at the BAYT Synagogue in Thornhill!
Wow! What a fantastic wedding! Everything and everyone looked absolutely gorgeous! Gad came strolling in to the Shull driving a Ferrari with quite the "bling bling" brooch pinned to his tie -the guy was a stud!
Joanna looked absolutely stunning in her wedding dress -I got some great shots of her getting ready!
The whole day went extremely well and at the end of the night, Joanna did a Father-Daughter Dance with her dad -they looked so cute dancing together! Then her mom joined them on the dance floor...it was so nice and heart-warming to see how close both families were with each other.
Bernard & I had a great time with them -we thoroughly enjoyed and felt extremely priviledged to have been chosen to photograph and document Gad & Joanna's beginning of a new life together!
Thanks so much guys. We certainly wish you a heart-felt Mazel Tov and a wonderful future together!
I hope you enjoy viewing the slideshow of just some of our favourite shots from the wedding!

Eli Shapiro & Daniella Enkin: March 3rd, 2009

Eli & Daniella's wedding was beautiful! Bernard & I had a fantastic time with these guys! They were a lot of fun -especially Daniella who loved doing the fun cool poses we did -Haha! Those were awesome!! =p

The decor looked amazing -of course, since they came from my parents over at Heavenly Flowers!! (hehehehe....) Everyone looked wonderful and I loved the camaraderie and the affectionate bantering that their families had with each other -they were hillarious!! =p

Bernard & I were able to catch some fun and special moments between them...it was tough to choose these few for this blog!

Feel free to check out their slideshow below and let me know what you think!

Azaria Weiman & Hennie Cohen: January 15th, 2009

Alright! We're making progress...Our first post for 2009!! =p

January was an insanely busy month for us -but it's a good thing, we can't complain!
We start off in Thornhill at the BAYT Synagogue where we photographed Azaria & Hennie's wedding.
These 2 were awesome! They were so much fun to photograph. They are indeed one exuberant and very energetic couple -especially Hennie! That girl loves to have fun!! =p
They both have amazing & supportive families who love them very dearly- and I think Bernard & I were able to capture some of those precious moments of affection between family members...it was very touching!
We took so many cool shots, I had a hard time choosing these few for their slideshow!
Click on their photo below to view their show & let me know what you think! -Enjoy!! =p

Zev Wasserman: October 28th, 2008

Alright! Well, we're trying something different in this post....can you guess what it is??
I've arranged the photos differently and into a Montage! Cool, eh? So this marks the very first post I've made with the Montage idea and I'm really excited about it too!!
Zev's pictures were perfect for this idea so I'm glad I've waited until now to try it out....I hope you guys like it -let me know what you think, okay?
Anyway, Zev's Bar Mitzvah took place at the BAYT Synagogue. We actually had quite a bit of fun with these guys-what a great bunch!! The Wasserman Family was all about unity -they did everything in unison! You should have seen them when I asked for them to take one step forward in one of the family photos -they all lifted their feet and took a step all at the same time, together!! I couldn't believe it! I think these guys did some kind of military training together or something....Just kidding!
Zev's a great kid -and very tall for his age too! Wow, he was just as tall as his dad (and his dad's pretty tall!). All in all it was a great photo shoot. Below is my lovely Montage with just some of my favourite shots that I hope you enjoy viewing!

Shloimie Pick & Nechama Plotnick: October 29th, 2008

The following day after Dovid & Devora's wedding, we were at the BAYT Synagogue to photograph Zev Wasserman's Bar Mitzvah on October the 28th, but as you can see, this is not his Bar Mitzvah photos....that's coming up in the next post! I decided to post Shloimie & Nechama's wedding pictures first as they are anxious to see some pictures from their wedding (and rightfully so!). =p
So, on October 29th, Bernard & I were back at the BAYT Synagogue to photograph Shloimie & Nechama's wedding!
Nechama is a very sweet girl and we got some really beautiful shots of her. And Shloimie was looking very sharp & spiffy, so we got some good shots of him too!! They make a beautiful couple and it was an honour for Bernard & I to photograph their wedding.
The really cool thing was that Shloimie & Nechama are friends with Dovid & Devora (the wedding we photographed 2 days before on October 27th at The Terrace) and they were able to attend Shloimie & Nechama's wedding! So it was really nice to see them again too.
Anyway, I guess it's about time you saw their slideshow! So just click on their photo below to view it -Enjoy!! =p

Aharon Price & Chani Rosengarten: August 21st, 2008

Yep! August was definitely a busy month for us! In 2 weeks we photographed 6 weddings in August alone -a total of 14 weddings in 3 months!! Unbelievable! We certainly cannot complain. We have been truly blessed. But with this blessing, lots of time and dedication must be put into it in order for the business to flourish. I certainly want to thank everyone again for their patience as we've been working hard to get caught up with our August weddings...we are almost done! (Yeah! =p)

Anyway, two days after photographing Matthew & Leah's wedding, we were back at the BAYT to photograph Aharon & Chani's wedding. These two are so sweet!! They were so giddy at their wedding (no kiddin' eh?!) and they were the perfect match! Beautiful!! Both sides of their families were so supportive of them -they were always looking out for each other. It's so sweet to see such loving families together. It makes it all the more worthwhile!

Bernard & I certainly enjoyed our time with them -we took over 1200 photos at their wedding! So out of all of those shots we took, we had a hard time choosing these few for this slideshow! But I think they capture the essence of their wedding day and the wonderful moments they had together.

Click on their photo below to view their slideshow -let me know what you think!

Matthew Simon & Leah Grafstein: August 19th, 2008

Matthew & Leah's wedding was awesome! They were so much fun to photograph! Leah has such a fun & bubbly personality -and she was so excited (for obvious reasons!) I think she thoroughly enjoyed the wedding to the max! My goodness, I've never seen a bride dance as much and as passionately as she did! She's got tones of energy that's for sure! =p
Matthew is a really nice guy who is very much loved by his bride & his family. They make a beautiful couple!
Bernard & I certainly want to wish both of you a wonderful future together with lots of health & happiness -Mazel Tov!

Dovid Kanner & Leah Weiner: July 3rd, 2008

Alright! We're starting to catch up....we are now in the month of July!
First of all, I just want to thank for everyone's patience as I try to catch up on all of the weddings we shot this summer...as you can see from all of the previous postings, we've been quite busy!
As a matter of fact, it was only 3 days after we photographed Noah Kaplan's Bar Mitzvah that we photographed Dovid & Leah's wedding at the BAYT Synagogue.
These two were so much fun! They were like two super models!! =p They loved being in front of the camera -and I think we were able to catch their personalities on camera too!
Click on their photo below and check out their wedding slideshow -let me know what you think.
