Parisa & Ramtin

.

Parisa and Ramtin's wedding took place at the Sala San Marco in little Italy in a beautifully decorated hall. After the ceremony we went to the Museum of Civilization for a quick photo shoot. In spite of the slushy, wet weather, Parisa and Ramtin did really well infront of the camera. Their wedding was full of high energy and joy, they did non-stop dancing all through the night. Congratulations to the two lovebirds.

Wishing everyone the very best of the Holiday Season! A special greeting to all of the newlyweds as they enjoy their first Christmas together. We would also like to wish everyone great success and happiness for the New Year and many years to come.

Brad, Jody & Logan
.

Logan arrived three weeks ago, he seems to be a busy guy...demanding attention from everyone... from his Mom & Dad and both Grandmas. So far he's been doing a really good job bringing everyone together. He brought his Grandma, Freda, all the way from B.C., and his Daddy all the way from over seas. It was fun to see how everyone enjoyed Logan.

Family Portrait

It was nice to see Julie & Tony again in their cozy home. It looks like the kids remembered us from the wedding in August. We enjoyed their company and shooting their family portrait as well.

Val & Chris

It was a bit nippy outside today, but that did not stop us from doing our portrait session with Val & Chris. They were happy and cheerful throughout the photoshoot, where we went on a wonderful hike in Kanata.

West Coast Trip

TEN YEARS ANNIVERSARY

.
.

We decided that for our 10th yr anniversary we would do something adventurous, so, we chose our destination as far west as possible. West of Vancouver Island is a place called Tofino (neither of us had ever been there). The place has everything to offer to nature lovers, from beautiful Long Beach, black bears, eagles, sea lions, seals, whales.... and more. We could not have chosen a better way to celebrate a decade together. We were certainly blessed.

Vancouver Island is rich with wildlife and nature, and exquisitely beautiful. I highly recommend the Pacific Rim Park as an excellent destination for nature lovers.
